“If we’re propping up a hoax, we all get burned.”
You’ve got it backwards. This is not about a birth certificate, it is about Obama.
The question is whether people are propping up a hoax in Obama. We’re trying to find out what the true history is behind him.
This certificate has not been ‘propped up’. Everyone is currently investigating. If it is a forgery, then the guy is really good and should be given a round of applause. He has also given us something more interesting to do than listen to lame media articles bash ‘birthers’.
But the Free Republic viral messengers keep trying to spill doubt about the certificate. That, alone, tells me everything I need to know.
They knew this birth certificate was going to surface. This is why they did the pre-emptive attacks on ‘birthers’.
If you notice, ever since this birth certificate has come out, they have switched their attacks from the ‘birthers’ to the document itself. That tells me everything.
The issue is about Obama. This thread is about the birth certificate.
I don’t disagree with anything else you said. I don’t think we have propped it up. We’re vetting the hell out of it, as best we can with the resources we have. It doesn’t hurt that FR’s founder put up this thread, either.
And I have noticed the Alinsky-ite shock-and-awe ridicule campaign against the issue and the fact that it came pretty much out of nowhere. I know these people well enough to know that they don’t spend this much time and effort shouting down anything but the truth. I know there’s something big here.
I’m just struggling between “I desperately want this to be true” and “it’s too good to be true”. This day’s been a roller coaster.
