MSNBC is reporting that 150,000 copies of the "Where's the Birth Certificate" book have been pre-sold and Farah was counting on 500,000 to 1,000,000 copies being sold. Now that we know where the birth certificate is (and the book obviously offers no claim that it's false) what happens, refunds? What would the ethical thing to do?
Obama could authorize the Department of health to send copies directly to several major news organizations. He won’t do that. And it is not hard to figure out why.
Scanned images done on a color scanner pick up color fringes around high contrast areas. Always. The fact that the pdf posted “officially” is missing the color fringes means it is not a scan of an actual document but pieced together in image editing software.
I would routinely have to “clean up” stray pixels and chroma aberrations after scanning a “pre-printed” form like a bill of lading. This was to create as clean a pdf as possible for later merging during print. This was so the data (name, address, product, qty, etc.) could be merged from a database with the scanned “pre-printed” bill of lading, then printed on blank paper so it looked like it had been typed on top of an actual pre-printed form.
The certificate released yesterday by the White House is found here:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/rss_viewer/birth-certificate-long-form.pdf
It says clearly at the top, "CERTIFICATE OF LIVE BIRTH."
The earlier, short-form document released in 2008, on the other hand, is a CertificaTION of Live Birth.
Hillary’s book was at Sam’s for $4.35
That’s still pretty expensive for toilet paper
One purpose I have right now is to try and sort out the truth from all the nonsense. Another is to help keep our side from looking like a bunch of idiots.
We can't win the country if half of America thinks we're morons and kooks, which, thanks to the media, they will if we give them a reasonable chance. Continuing to repeat things that are easily shown to be false makes us look bad.
Or do you have any interest in actually winning people to our side?
For a more extensive answer to your ad hominem attack, see items 1 and 19 in the referenced post. Also read the introduction.
So do you believe it’s real or fake?
LOL! Thanks, i needed a good belly laugh tonight.
>>We can’t win the country if half of America thinks we’re morons and kooks<<
Obama won with half the country thinking his supporters were morons and kooks. The country is divided, plain and simple.
I don’t think you understand BECAUSE you are so new here. Nothing personal but you can see a poo sandwich, tell people you think it’s a poo sandwich and if you have an R after your name, a cross around your neck or an American flag pin, they will think you are a moron or a kook. Looking into this is not going to change their minds either way. Maybe you need to figure this out, to them, we are morons and kooks. Nothing is changing that.
I’m not really sure where you come from or why you have taken on the role of “Fact Champion” on this, saving us from ourselves, but I’m not really sure you’re helping when you have no clue about the demographics of this country. Or the minds of the FReepers, some of the most brilliant people I know.
Welcome to FR.
If the book adequately covers the “natural born citizen” issue, I’ll buy several and pass them out to friends.
I haven’t seen any coverage of that, except here on FR.
He was admonished sharply for womanizing at campus!!!
And I would like to welcome you to FR as well.
I agree. Corsi’s book was the fire licking at Obama and his enablers. Trump was a hot poker to make them release something. As a doctored/devised/ whatever birth certificate it needs forensic examination. My bet is still on the COLB signed by grandmaw Payne and certified with/by Hawaiian officials that it was evidence for delayed filing for the birthplace in Kenya for registration in Honolulu, Aug 8,1961. It is amazing that so many people seem to be buying this Chicago hustler’s presentation as devoid of any possible scamming.

Explain the misspelled stamp.
I would think Corsi’s book is probably going to have some fairly in depth stuff.
The pdf file is not a scan. Why they would post such an obvious fake is unclear. Maybe just to reassure those who never believed it was an issue while making the birthers continue to look paranoid.
Personally, I don’t think his actual birth certificate looks anything like what he’s shown.
Not to mention the cute little trick of writing U K L Lee (Ukulee) at the bottom.
That last one is just like when the Messiah gives the middle finger while pretending he is scratching himself. It wasn't funny in the third grade and it isn't funny now.
I know the end justifies the means to you guys, but I'd like further examination by decent experts before one pronounces this as anything but a phony!
You mean the apparent “TXE”?
Either:
1) Something is deformed about the stamp and the ink that made it look more like a TXE than a THE, or
2) They actually have a stamp that says TXE instead of THE.
Just because it’s an official office doesn’t necessarily mean they don’t have misspelled stamps. I knew someone once who worked at a very high level of government, who told me stories about the people he worked with. To hear him tell it, they had been promoted well above their pay grade.
The critical issue, though, isn’t whether the stamp on Obama’s long-form certificate says THE or TXE. It’s the letter from Loretta J. Fuddy, Director of the Department of Health for the State of Hawaii attesting to its authenticity.
In the “weak arguments” thread I gave a list of 4 points at which the authenticity of Obama’s long-form certificate might be attacked.
That is no blurred image or something wrong with the stamp.
It is a CLEAR X.
So your defense is that they are incompetent and are using a misspelled stamp????
I noticed he signed up recently. And he describes himself as pretty Conservative. Maybe Conservativism is so loathsome to him that he can't bring himself to describe himself thusly.
There will be plenty for a forensic expert to work on with this ukulelee certificate.
