You said — Farah is very convincing. The MSM must be terrified of him.
—
I do realize that he does present a different “worldview” than almost all of the MSM present, in its Christian outlook and his own personally stated faith. And he delivers good and accurate news that counteracts the MSM slant, too.
BUT, the ones that I was more particularly referring to — were the many posters here on Free Republic who have stated their absolute disdain and heavy criticism of Farah and WorldNetDaily. Those posters think Farah is nutty; they think WorldNetDaily is nutty, and they never hesitate to jump on here and criticize either (the news outlet or him) for what they say is absolutely nutty and unreliable and that they would *never* have anything to do with him or the news outlet that he has. [mind you...,. that’s not me because I love the news outlet that he has...]
That’s the group, here, who must be very conflicted about Farah/WorldNetDaily presenting his constant barrage on the Obama birth certificate... :-)
LOL- Hey, why not if they won’t enforce the law against Obama.
Re: “Headline?
Arnold Schwarzenegger was adopted, raised by Austrian family
“I was born in Hawaii,” Says Gov. Schwarzenegger
Certificate of birth on website.”
You said — Farah will find the birth certificate after he finds that pterodactyl that he believes is flying over Africa.
—
Ahhh..., here we’ve found one of our Free Republic WorldNetDaily/Farah haters... LOL...
Glad to see that you’ve joined us... :-)
—
NOW..., would this be because of WorldNetDaily or is it because of the birth certificate issue that he constantly hammers on...
I, for one, find Farah’s info to be very interesting, informative and level-headed. Hey, let’s get more billboards up!!

little hint... put the other comments (your quote of another FReeper) first, and then yours. And somehow distinguish between the two. It becomes awfully confusing as to what is going on when one reads your replies... as I said, just a hint ... :-)
Seems about par for the course, actually.

And likewise, so do I..., but I am pointing out that you’ve got a *very loud crowd* (of some indeterminate number) here who will knock down *any* and *everything* from WorldNetDaily and they have been doing that for as long as I can remember, way back before Obama or the birth certificate.
I guess they’ve got a grudge against a Christian worldview being presented, something that you’ll never see in the MSM...
How is this?

“The authorities MUST enforce the Constitution and require Obama to prove that he is a natural born American citizen.” Um, the federal oligarchs have shown you that in fact they don’t have to honor the oath they took upon entering office. You are living in a federal oligarchy still imagining you live in a Constitutional Republic. With enough ‘hope’ and ‘change’, you’ll get used to being merely a tax serf to the democrat party.
Yeah, that would distinguish it, but I see you’ve fallen into the “top posting” routine, which no one else here is using or doing — and just that, by itself — will confuse people who come across it. Now, that I know you’re doing “top post”, but it’s still quite “disconcerting” to readers... just letting you know...

When a message is replied to in e-mail, Internet forums, or Usenet, the original can often be included, or “quoted”, in a variety of different posting styles.
The main options are interleaved posting (also called inline replying, in which the reply is woven into the original post), bottom-posting (in which the reply follows the quote) or top-posting (in which the reply precedes the quoted original message). For each of those options, there is also the issue of whether trimming of the original text is allowed or required. While each online community differs on which styles are appropriate or acceptable, within some communities the use of the “wrong” method risks being seen as a breach of netiquette, and can provoke vehement response from community regulars.

I also use “interleaved posting” with longer replies of mine back to other posters, in addition to always using “bottom posting” to all shorter replies. These are the various “conventions” used when posting replies.
But, really, look through all the Free Republic threads and I doubt if you find more than even one or two “top posting” people... :-)
Very good! NOW..., you would think that these posters who *concentrate* on Obama’s birth certificate would feature what WorldNetDaily is doing for their cause.
BUT, the very curious thing for me, is that it seems that the *one news outlet* which is featuring *so much* about Obama’s birth certificate, hardly gets a “good mention” from those particular posters, here on Free Republic.
For some reason, a large portion of those particular birther posters, seem to want to totally avoid WorldNetDaily.
It’s almost like biting the hand that “feeds the issue” the most prominently on the net... kinda weird...
"It’s almost like biting the hand that “feeds the issue” the most prominently on the net... kinda weird..."
Maybe they realize WND is damaging to their credibility?
Not all publicity is good publicity.
Where's the birth certificate? An interview with Joseph Farah
You said — Maybe they realize WND is damaging to their credibility?

Well, as far as I can see, WorldNetDaily, as a news outlet, has a lot more credibility than all the posters here, combined. Now, you may wonder why I say that... and I would say that it’s because they’ve also got Jerome Corsi writing for WorldNetDaily and he’s got quite a few conservative causes under his belt, that he’s written about over the years. And many credit Corsi with single-handedly sinking Kerry.
In addition, I can’t see a problem with the kinds of things that WorldNetDaily reports about — as compared to what is posted here on Free Republic.
If one were to think that WorldNetDaily was damaging the credibility of this issue (about Obama’s birth certificate) then I would say on *that basis* that one would have to conclude that the posters who post about that very same issue here on Free Republic were damaging their own credibility about ten times over (compared to WND).
Now, I’m saying that if you use the *same basis* for comparing what one says (i.e., WorldNetDaily) versus what the other says (i.e., the various posters’ comments on that same issue...).
There’s no comparison — in that WorldNetDaily is *a whole lot more reliable* in its reporting than anything else that I’ve seen (as a “unit whole”, as compared to the “unit whole” of the posters here...).

And lastly you said — Not all publicity is good publicity.

Well, that’s not a rule that some posters here on Free Republic follow, regarding this particular issue (again *as compared to* the reporting of WorldNetDaily on the same issue).
We will keep the heat on! With proof of the COLB being a forgery, how can they not subpoena the original birth certificate?
Well, I know this didn’t come from WorldNetDaily... LOL...
Ummmm..., come t think about it, I believe I saw this one posted several times on Free Republic... :-)
You said — No, once a person claims that there are pterodactyls flying over our heads, I discount everything they say afterwords
—
Well, that should mean that you’re discounting everything that comes from Free Republic, as it consists of several different posters who are saying different things. That must mean that those particular posters who say things that you think are crazy, then render the whole of Free Republic as something *to be ignored* — just like a particular author or writer at WorldNetDaily that writes something that you don’t approve of renders all of it as something to be ignored, too... LOL...
And, by the way, I don’t know what article that you’re referring to, so I can’t comment on the content of such an article — but — if I do know how people tend to form arguments like this — it’s that they always leave out what makes something understandable and only put in their “comments” (here) that which supports their position... I suspect that’s what is going on here, too... :-)
