So if it’s a lie meant for those who only understand lies, why is it here? If it isn’t meant for us, it seems to me it wouldn’t be much use to anyone since their world is so parsed and such a game of semantics, do we really need to understand THEIR POV...because they sure as heck ain’t never gonna understand ours.

It's not a lie. It's here because I found it useful and thought others might too. I've tried to inform my friends and family, some of whom are liberals, about the core issues of the eligibility questions. Thus far, they have dismissed it as Internet rumor and urban legend. After reading this primer, they are open to the possibility that Obama may not be eligible to hold the office. The more people we can convince that there is merit to this discussion, the better our chances of gaining support.

do we really need to understand THEIR POV

No, you don't need to consider anyone else's point of view. If you don't want to convince them that the issue has merit, then don't use it as a reference. It's your choice. You can believe it's an intentional lie and a conspiracy to spread disinformation or you can believe the author intended it as a tool to open a dialogue with anti-birthers.

I've made my arguments for the document's purpose and usefulness. Polarik has made his. Come to whatever conclusion you want.
