You said — I been SCREAMING on here for 2 weeks that this guy is a fraud that a 7 year old kid could see through . Now all of a sudden everyone says he’s a fraud. Last night 100 Freepers were thinking Rush was seriously interested in this crap and that’s why he said he was up all night doing research. Day late and a dollar short my friends.

Well, please note that several are starting to say, once again, that maybe there’s something to it...
I think the most humorous about how there might be “something to it” is that it may have taken a *crazy person* to be the one who was able to get the birth certificate in the first place (since presumably all the sane ones failed in the past)...
Now, when the comments get down to that level... it’s the posters who are beginning to be “certifiable”... LOL...
You said — This “person,” whoever it is, obviously is familiar with FR and quite neatly shunted WND to the back burner.
—
And here it is... that point right there...
That’s exactly the methodology that chief editor Korir would do, at API (African Press International) over and over and over again — with one thing or another or another.
It was *absolutely pitiful* to see people just “eating it up” and never crying “foul” to it — in the first place.
They simply accepted more and more scamming, until Chief Editor Korir, finally told everyone off and said that he was doing it to prove how stupid they all were for believing him in the first place.
I hate to see the same thing happening on Free Republic...
This is supposed to be in the hands of WorldNetDaily so they can examine it and report on its authenticity and if it is authentic, then give it to the world and get the information about Obama fully exposed.
We don’t see that happening, even after it was said it was happening.
Well, the thing to learn here is that those who don’t learn from history are destined to repeat it... and there *is history* behind these kinds of scams, and ole chief editor Korir is one prime candidate to know about... LOL..
Go away
Sorry, my posts back then indicated that this wasn’t real either. And you can check on it, as I posted at the very time that it was happening... LOL...
And likewise, I’ve posted right here, at the very same time this is happening — the exact same way...
It seems that it’s other people who are believing this and certainly not me... :-)
And no, don't answer
This is a fine subject to post on, and you’ll remember that I answered this one before as to why I post back to people. When they post *to me* and they give a stupid post or accusation or whatever like that — they will get a response.
I’ve also posted that if someone does not want me to respond, I’ve followed a general rule of not responding to those who quit responding to me. It works well every time.
The only other posts I do, are from what I see are interesting in a thread and then I leave it alone, after I’ve gone down the length of the thread. When someone responds, I pretty much *always* reply to them.
I hope that gives you a clue as to how it works... LOL...
The letters FO mean anything to you?
Not in the least... LOL...
It’s always interesting to see FReepers resorting to DU-type-language and posting habits... LOL...
We don’t see that happening, [bold mine] even after it was said it was happening.
-------------------
Funny that 'colmado naranja' sees the skepticism on FR that you say we don't. His words below:
"Just the other day I noted that I was thankful for freerepublic. Reminds me of a bunch off lukewarm turncoats. Change your opinion every time that the wind blows in a different direction. ... Make up your minds, have a little backbone."
A little exuberance by FR is not going to help the Obots any. We are mere spectators. In the end, he will have to put up. No skin off our teeth.
You said — A little exuberance by FR is not going to help the Obots any. We are mere spectators. In the end, he will have to put up. No skin off our teeth.

It’s true that in the end, it is his scam that will be exposed, but the thing that I don’t like about what happens on Free Republic is the “gullibility factor” that seems to be in full swing.
I would rather see a very high level of skepticism on all these kinds of claims, when they come up, so that we don’t get into being real gullible — even when it is not “us” who are the ones who put forth these claims and we are not the ones who are trying to scam people...
Oh..., and one more thing...
I’ll tell you why I was *extremely happy* to see that this eBay seller had said he was giving this document to WorldNetDaily... I knew that this meant we would *finally* get our verification, in short order — of whether he really did have a document, and whether the document (if it existed) was authentic, and we would be putting this “speculation” on the matter behind us in a matter of a few days.
I think our “few days” is close to being up about now. If WorldNetDaily has not reported receiving the documentation by sometime early next week (I’m being quite generous here... LOL...), then we can be assured that we’ve got sometime following the exact same “game plan” that Chief Editor Korir used at API (African Press International) in scamming everyone.

{MHGinTN}And then — “You were caught in your deceit when you tried to use the story of the Good Samaritan as if ‘you knew your Bible’, yet you weren’t even familiar enough with the story to know the Good Samaritan’s role in the story. You’re a deceiver.”
{Star Traveler}So you say, but I don’t. …

So, let’s take a look, to see if you were deceiving readers with your faux Bible lesson!
[Star Traveler: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2154244/posts?q=1&;page=305] You said — “He didn’t say anything about being nice to His enemies.” I think he did, in regards to the question of “Who is my neighbor” and who helped the injured Samaritan along the road (Samaritans were the enemies of Israel...).... I think Jesus made the point very well…
Was this merely a typo? Well, you repeated the error, so we can’t call the initial error a typo; you just aren’t what you pretend to be. But, in typical liars bluff not knowing when to keep quiet in your initial deceit, you tried to dismiss my calling you out:
To: Star Traveler
When you actually learn whom the Samaritans were and their relationship to the ‘in tribe’ of Jerusalem, perhaps you’ll have matured sufficiently to not make large religious claims based on flawed references.

Suffice it to say, if you studied the Bible and knew your facts …
It appears you have no knowledge of the Bible or knowledge of Jesus, and that’s a major problem in even understanding what Jesus said…

… And Jesus made that an express example of the question of “Who is my neighbor” in giving the example of helping the Samaritan who was passed by on the road, by everyone else. …
You obviously are like the Pharisees and the Sadducees who were always against Jesus and what He said, time and time again. I see we have them here on this forum, too — in spite of what the Bible tells Christians to do…

To: Star Traveler From your #305 post, you did't even know that the Good Smaritan was the one who stopped to help the injured traveler! You're a fraud, a typical poseur trying to quote the Bible to manipulate readers. Here is your exact sentence from #305:
Star Traveler: I think he did, in regards to the question of “Who is my neighbor” and who helped the injured Samaritan along the road (Samaritans were the enemies of Israel...)

You said — “You’re a fraud, a typical poseur trying to quote the Bible to manipulate readers.”
It’s the exact same thing I’ve been posting, from the Bible, since the beginning on Free Republic. You’ll find no difference from Clinton, to Bush to Obama... You just don’t like the content of what is being posted, and that’s your problem. But, I won’t be changing my posting.

The Samaritan was the person who helped. I’ll quote the section for you... Luke 10:25-37

Yes, I’d say you’re a fraud. You’ve tried to scam readers by quoting Bible verses you don’t even have enough familiarity with to know the role of the story participants, and you tried to twist your lie into stating something opposite of what you stated.]]
So, you think this scammer on eBay is reading his Bible and is about to give us one of his lessons... LOL...
You’re pretty funny...
Ping
We can be certain you have tried to use the Bible to fabricate a credulity you do not deserve, as the above post from an earlier thread proves, clearly. THAT is the pertinent issue now, since you’ve chosen to accuse Freepers of being ‘gullible’.
Well, I don’t think chief editor Korir or this eBay scammer was giving you any Bible lessons, and yet quite successfully seems to have fooled a lot of people...
All it takes to be fooled in this sort of scam is that the gullibility factor is real high for those who are desperately looking for anything to verify their own doubts and suspicions...
And that’s what is happening here...
colmado_naranja also said, when his Obama Kenyan BC auction was going on, the buyer could bring his experts to authenticate the document. Now, if some buyer was going to hand over a fortune before checking what he is buying without verifying it, it's shame on him not shame on us.
