Oh, we have more influence than we think we do, we just don't know what to do with it. If the presstitutes really thought that the "birthers" were hurting conservatism and the GOP (not always the same thing) they would shut their pieholes and let them be about it.

the whole birther thing has been kept alive because The White House will not provide a legitimate birth certificate.

Thank you. Now was that so very hard?

Could the writer not have cut to the chase and skipped the invective? Its like you have to prove your bona fides to your mates by joining the 3 minute hate before finally, reluctantly, saying "but". Skip everything prior to "but" because its irrelevant.

The guy won't provide his BC. You assume its because he doesn't want to. I assume he doesn't want to because he can't and he dare not. Either way, I'm not crazy for asking just like you aren't crazy for asking.

Lots of “mainstream” journalist think exactly the way this guy thinks. His rant was so over the top childish that it would be pointless to engage him in a little debate. Although debate isn’t the right word. There’s just one question this guy should be asked and that is where is the birth certificate?

The nastiness and invective against so-called “birthers” was from the Urban Dictionary writers and columnist Eugene Robinson, not the blogger.

How do you find these offbeat articles and website blogs? You posted from one yesterday, written by a person claiming to live in East Tennessee in White’s Creek. Well, I live in East Tennessee and White’s Creek is just north and west of Nashville, which is definitely not in East Tennessee.

“A racist sore loser who can’t deal with having a black president so they make up absurd conspiracy theories about Barack Obama’s birth certificate. “

Replace “...so they make up absurd conspiracy theories about Barack Obama’s birth certificate” with “... don’t want socialized medicine”, “...think the stimulus didn’t work”, “...don’t like the czars”.

KEEP ON YOU LEFTIST MORONS!! There’s only so many times you can be called a racist for not agreeing with the President before it loses all meaning.

You will not silence me with a label of racist.

DISSENT IS NOT ONLY PATRIOTIC, IT IS ALSO NOT RACIST!

"How do you find these offbeat articles and website blogs?"

In military intelligence we have an old saying: "My job is so secret, even I don't know what I'm doing." But seriously, I use keywords on a news aggregator: It has "mainstream" news sites, itty bitty little newspapers, radio stations, PR sites and a variety of blogs. Lots of FR links, as well.

So the guy claimed to be from the wrong place? He sounded like a transplanted Yankee, anyhow. Maybe he just doesn't know $#*+ from Shinola...

Trying to analyze the “birther” phenomenon would mean taking it seriously, and taking it seriously would be like arguing about the color of unicorns. About all that can be said is that a bunch of lost, confused and frightened people have decided to seek refuge in conspiratorial make-believe. I hope they’re harmless. And I hope they seek help.

I finally went to the original and saw that, indeed, the above is from Robinson. The FR formatting didn't make that clear.

Good article.

A hard copy of the COLB Bambi posted online is good enough to prove American birth in any court or government office. I don't see why you consider it to be anything less than legitimate.

If it is legitimate enough to post it online, why would Obama fight to keep the lawsuits out instead of just handing over the so-called ‘hard copy’?

Because of the peculiarities of Hawaiian law.

And because of the sheer weirdness of the response. The weirder, the crazier, the wilder the invective, the more fraudulent documents muddying the water, along with fakes of fakes, the curiouser and curiouser I get.

I’ve never seen anything like this. I want to get to the bottom of it at this point.

You are assuming that he could simply stop the lawsuits by handing over a hard copy to the court. Your premise is incorrect.

“You are assuming that he could simply stop the lawsuits by handing over a hard copy to the court. Your premise is incorrect. “

You can sue anyone for anything, but by entering a birth certificate into court as evidence, it would certainly quiet the issue down.

You are assuming he would want to quiet the issue down. Again, your premise is incorrect.

No one hides good things about themselves do they? Especially politicians. Unless, of course, they are mentally ill.

"A hard copy of the COLB Bambi posted online is good enough to prove American birth in any court or government office. I don't see why you consider it to be anything less than legitimate."

Here we go, again: 1. No, it's not. 2. If Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. is actually Mr. Obama's father (which we don't really know, one way or the other) he is not a natural born citizen, as his father was not a citizen. 3. Was Mr. Obama adopted by his stepfather in Indonesia? 4. Is the COLB shown on-line genuine? I've read numerous articles that say it's not. 5. Why the secrecy about everything involved with his history? School records, birth certificate, passport, state senate records, etc., etc.?? Somebody here help me explain to this FReeper why he's wrong.

Interacting with you is like talking to a brick wall. It is simply not true that you need to have two citizen parents to be a natural born citizen. Birth in the US, under US jurisdiction, is enough. SCOTUS settled that definitely in US v. Kim Wong Ark, as I have pointed out to you and others multiple times.

Why are you so intent on ignoring it?

3. Was Mr. Obama adopted by his stepfather in Indonesia?

Not relevant to his eligibility to be president.

4. Is the COLB shown on-line genuine?

Again, not relevant, because it has already been confirmed by state officials that he was born in Hawaii.

5. Why the secrecy about everything involved with his history?

Because it encourages crackpot conspiracy theorists who make his opposition look bad.

I've read numerous articles that say it's not.

Oh, well, if you've read articles about it, then there must be something to it! /sarcasm.

School records, birth certificate, passport, state senate records, etc., etc.??

I am not opposed to founding out the truth. I have only added two thoughts of caution:

1) Watch out for traps (Orly).

2) Don’t let it distract you from real issues.
