Just a general thought.

It doesn't seem really necessary to ‘prove’ that BHO was born in Hawaii in order to move on to more legitimate questions regarding the meaning of ‘Natural Born Citizen’. Instead what might be more beneficial is to put a stake through the fallacious and unsupported arguments that BHO was born somewhere other than Hawaii.

If the argument can be steered away from that unprofitable line of thought, a great deal of the noise goes away.

But I do not know how likely that is to happen on such an emotionally charged issues.

It's very unlikely unless JimRob takes a position on the level and tone of discourse that will be allowed on FR on this issue. I considered myself a "birther" until just a few days ago. When I started commenting on Orly Taitz's incompetence, unprofessionalism, and self-promotion, I was soundly kicked to the curb of "birtherdome." Then personal attacks and taunting began. Mostly, I ignore it. Sometimes, I report it.

It seems that most, not all, birthers simply don't want to engage in reasonable conversation to discuss the facts and circumstances. Once you dispute their claims, they resort to name calling and personal attacks. It's pathetic "group-think" at its worst and reflects poorly on all FReepers because liberal sites extract and post the most ridiculous and/or hateful comments from the birther threads to present FReepers as crazies.
