I re-read the article to see what you are talking about. Despite this, I failed to see what exactly to which you are referring as "flat out falsehoods". Base Speculation, perhaps in some parts, but "flat out falsehoods?" Mens Rea, dude.
...and make no mention of BHO’s not being an NBC due to his parentage. None. Zip. Zero.
As the primary purpose of the article is to explain WHY so many people are stupid and obstinate on this issue, then it isn't really that germane to the topic, is it?
Why is this particular Birther so ignorant then as to be focusing on untenable claims if they are ultimately irrelevant because BHO isn’t a NBC due to his father being Kenyan?
I think i've covered this six ways to Sunday. MOST people have a false understanding of the term of art "natural born citizen." No thanks to bad court decisions such as Wong Kim Ark, People have ever since gone beyond the holding of the court that the man was a "citizen" and have subsequently claimed the court decided who was a "natural born citizen", which the court did not.
Given the legal system's worship of precedent, and the incorrect assumptions regarding this one, the general public has since become completely convinced that the only requirement is to be "born" somewhere in the nation's boundaries.
This leaves the EASIEST way of demonstrating non-compliance as finding out whether the man was even born in this country. ( Which is the lowest possible standard of citizenship.) You simply have to work with the basis of knowledge that your audience possesses. If he cannot even meet THAT weakest standard, "it will, therefore, be unnecessary to investigate any other."
Beyond that, you have to make your audience more knowledgeable, a much more difficult task, especially with you carpers and nay-Sayers about.
Well, 3/4 of the way through Obama’s term, good luck getting anywhere with that.
We haven't heard anything from the Arizona Sheriff, but his posse may yet declare the BC the fraud that it is and refuse to allow him on their ballot. This may crack it wide open.
