With all respect, BT, my recollection is just the opposite.
I recall the years of threads and those vehmently against the search for the truth about his eligibility .. many now zotted obots .. on those threads, where those of us researching and seeking the actual truth were slammed, snarked and personally attacked.
Perhaps, with the passage of time and more and more folks realizing there is definitely something amiss and fishy about him and the realization of all his empty suitedness, failings, deceptiveness, fuzzy past, obfuscations, etc. etc., and the fact that SO many of anti-eligibility posters are now vaporized from FR (one notable one just a couple of days ago .. that curious one), there aren’t so many posts attacking those of us seeking the truth.
But you must remember those who were relentless in posting all kinds of nastiness, cutdowns, mocking, and sarcasm to those who’re simply want surety that the Constitutional eligibility requirement is officially affirmed.
Don’t you recall all those who’re now gone? Ender Wiggins? How could you forget Parsi? I recall you posting agreeably with him at times.
At one point, I was blamed for inciting the hostility on the eligibility threads. I was told that if I weren't present on the threads and would simply leave the birthers alone to do their research and discuss the issue, there wouldn't be such animosity between birthers and anti-birthers.
To prove how absolutely absurd that claim was, I agreed to remove myself from the eligibility threads for a period of two weeks and not only that but also to stop pinging the Sanity Squad to the eligibility threads to avoid the appearance of "calling in the dogs." During that two weeks, the birthers found another boogeyman and continued slinging mud. They were just as hostile and vicious as always.
And when I returned, I became an even bigger target. There have been multiple campains to have me banned - probably still are. Birthers have even gone so far as to attack my faith in Christ. What does my faith have to do with Obama's eligibility? (Nothing.) I haven't questioned a birther's faith in Christ. I think they're wrong not evil. In an attempt to end the infighting, I even suggested that we not engage each other on eligibility threads. I proposed that we let birthers and anti-birthers have separate discussions on the same thread. That certainly didn't work.
If you pick a group of eligibility threads and review them as I did, you will see that 9 times out of 10, it's a birther who starts slinging mud.
