Delusional obsession. What else could explain people like Dan Rather, who still think the forged TANG documents - shown to have been created using a modern word processing program - are real even though the evidence is overwhelmingly against such conclusions? I have no clue, but to take clear evidence that something is a forgery and try to create some fantasy rationale that it really proves legitimacy is the epitome of obsession.
And while the left has Dan Rather and his cult, or the Downing Street Memo Cult, the right has The Cult of the COLB (aka, Certificate Of Live Birth). Check out how this CULT leader detects forgery when confronted with solid proof of legitimacy. It all starts with one of those flashing overlays from Snappedshot showing BHO COLB (2007) and another known HI COLB (2002):
(For anyone not up on this matter you can see my previous posts here).
It is clear from this that the known update in format between the 2002 and 2007 (BHO) COLB is the border pattern, but the text stays put - as one would expect. So, what does this demonstrate to the one Polarik, a blogger at Townhall who help start this idiocy? Proof of conspiracy of course!
"OK, like what are the odds of having two COLBs, one that we know was from Sep 9, 2002, and one that was ‘allegedly’ from June 9, 2007, with different border patterns, lining up perfectly on the placements of the borders, images, headers & footers, text fields, and data fields?
Like the odds of winning the lottery.
"
This dude needs therapy. Because the Obama COLB has the same format as another COLB it is now a fake??? But before there were all these mysterious differences that made the OBAMA COLB fake - which were one by one debunked. I wish this guy would make up his mind.
Thus ends the tale of the Cult of the COLB (at least for this blogger). A strange and bizarre tale of delusional obsession.
I’m not concerned about impressions people have either.
Step one would be to have basic comprehension skills of a semi-technical subject before you call Polarik a liar.
