What's The Difference Between "Birther" And "Truther"?

The were both 'birthed' by Hillary Clinton for her self serving political purposes. The 'truther' gave way for a Soviet style inquisition to make President Bush look like a liar and a deceiver.

Now clearly Hillary stayed well outside of the perimeter of the 'birther' movement, but she has NEVER denounced it either. And somehow in spite of the delivery she got to be in charge of WHAT? State Department!!!!

Fire does melt steel and we haven’t seen the birth certificate.

I may not believe about the military being prepared for war but I’m certainly not going to get nasty with you about it.

Let it go, man. This isn’t a public site, and it isn’t your site. The owner has the right to filter unwanted content.

The problem with conspiracy theories is not that people on here aren’t smart enough to decipher — it is the type of people that will be attracted to the site if conspiracy theories are allowed to run wild. It’d be a self-fulfilling prophecy ... conspiracy theories attract conspiracy theorists, and the site spins off the deep end.

Well, in answer to your question, I’ve always thought that a *birther* is a birth-certificate skeptic and a *truther* is a 9/11-was-an-inside-jobber.

I didn’t think that the million-man army rumor fit into either category.

LOL, you must have a FR death wish.

"What's The Difference Between "Birther" And "Truther"?"

The truther's have been proven wrong many, many times. The Birther's have yet to be proven wrong.

I don't think it is appropriate to lump the birth certificate issue in with every conspiracy theory out there. The "birther" issue is simply a demand for proof, rather than an assertion of facts. Obama and his people have claimed that he is qualified to be president, yet his family history and birth circumstances leave room for doubt in a couple of different ways and "birthers" simply want to see documentation to resolve the issue. This is a fundamentally different approach than an assertion that Obama is readying the military for civil war or that Bush bombed the WTC. In the latter two examples, people are asserting facts which they have no real reason to believe and which cannot be disproved with simple documentation. There is no possible way, for example, to disprove the WTC truther conspiracy theory because it is a theory not based on facts which can be disproved. The "birther" issue, on the other hand, could be resolved with simple documentation, although there is a legal question regarding the definition of "natural born".

In short, not all conspiracy theories are equal.

Eventually, we all discover that freedom of the press is only for the guy that owns a printing press..or in this case, a popular message board on the innerwebz. You gotta pick your fights carefully.

Is this an Opus?

It is obvious that you have some very strong feelings over all of this, but you might want to consider taking a break on you own, or one will likely be given to you.

I moderators have given you some room over this, you might want to just move off of it, before it’s too late.

[Gator113]

Oh, oh... too late... the cats are out.. you’re toast.

Sigh. This seems like an exercise in arguing logically, where outside an academic interest in philosophical reasoning, there is nothing to be gained.

I could post a thousand threads a day of completely made up stuff, but to what end? A post of absolute absurdity warrants no discussion.

[Sioux-san]

In my opinion, it’s not about being a Birther or a Truther or a conspiracy monger or whatever. Barry Soetoro (aka B. Hussein Obama, Jr) has fully revealed that his birth father was not an American citizen, so on that alone, Barry is not a natural born American citizen and therefore totally ineligible to be POTUS. Both your parents need to be American citizens when you are born. Babies whose parents are American citizens are born all over the world during travel, military duty, missionary work, etc. As much as I like him, Bobby Jindal is not eligible to run for President because his parents were not American citizens when he was born in Louisiana. Tim Tebow was born in the Philippines to missionary parents who are American citizens, which makes him eligible to run for the POTUS when he is of age — now wouldn’t that be interesting...if there still is an America....

[ET(end tyranny)]

The topic?

My understanding is that ‘birthers’ question where or ‘the citizenship’ of Obama.

Truthers question 9/11.
