An article by John Ellis, “Birther Issue Goes Mainstream” reveals that “journalists” today must include the word birther in their copy to generate internet hits to their articles. They are walking a tightrope in how they use the term because they don’t want to alienate their JournOlistic comrades “all of whom in New York-Washington media circles are resolute in their belief that “birthers” are insane!” ...
Go ahead, call us crazy.
We say it’s crazy that not a single member of Congress ever inspected a hard copy birth certificate for the pResident and Vice-President.
We say it’s crazy that not a single member of Congress ever questioned whether a son who admitted he was born a British subject because his father was a British subject (and never a U.S. citizen) can be considered a “natural born citizen” of the United States.

Why not just post it here?
It's called site pimping for hits
“And when you come into my courtroom you’d better be dressed lawyerly.”
It is not crazy to insist that our candidates prove they are eligible.
Is it crazy that I have to show ID to use my credit card at stores? Of course I am me! I say so!
Is it crazy to show my son’s birth certificate to play ball? Of course he is 10! I say so!
Is it crazy to show my boarding pass upon boarding the plane? Of course I bought that ticket!
The left came up with the term “birther” as an insult. But as I said at the time, I don’t think that will work for them.
The word “Quaker” was originally insult, because the Quakers said that they “came before the Lord in fear and trembling.” It’s not an insult now.
As the issue remains alive, and as it becomes evident to more and more people that Obama is hiding EVERYTHING about himself, birther will begin to take on respectability.
Exactly the opposite is true of the names liberals choose for themselves. They ran the word “progressive” into the ground earlier, until everyone recognized that it meant Communist, if not Stalinist. So they started calling themselves liberals. Now they’ve run that word into the ground, and they’ve resurrected the world progressive. Won’t be long before they run that into the ground again.
In other words, what you DO is more important what you are called, after people have enough time to understand what’s going on.
I am a birther! Didn’t hurt me one bit to say it. In fact, I’m proud of it. Why doesn’t a liberal want to be called a liberal? I’m a conservative and proud to be called that. I’m a birther/bitter/clinger and proud to be called all!!
Okay. You are crazy. There, happy?
No, but it's crazy to continue to insist long after it has been done.
It's also crazy dismiss an evidenciary document that would suffice as prima facie evidence of birth in the USA before any court or government agency, especially when said birth in the USA is verbally confirmed by a State official charged with maintaining state birth records.
Finally, it's even crazier to make up a new definition of natural born citizenship that was clearly never employed in the entire history of the United States.
has there been a definitive list of documents that Obama has refused to- or hidden from- disclosing?
There are several lists floating around the birther blog-o-sphere, but I would take them all with a grain of salt.
I'm not sure the world at large is quite ready for "Birther Oats," but the phrase may find narrow acceptance and marketing utility amongst the in vitro fertilisation industry.

Of course you would you are not curious.
“Birther Heights,” Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland?
I know the list would include school records / grades as well as school related papers / theses
I believe he has not released medical records (just like BJ Clinton)
not sure about travel documents: passport, visas, etc
LOL. When you get that much satisfaction from seeing someone banned from an internet discussion board, it's sure a sign you need to get a life.
From your homepage:
" I've become somewhat obsessed with debunking birthers. Not sure why, but I find it somewhat addictive. "
Obsessed? To say the least... like Chrissy Mathews and your favorite After-Birther Dr. CONspiracy.
