Birtherism is a misguided theory about Obama which, even if true, does not allege that he is partially or wholly responsible for the murder of thousands of Americans.

That's only because Barry hasn't had the opportunity to do so yet. It was his handler Rahm Emanual who said, “You don’t ever want a crisis to go to waste; it’s an opportunity to do important things that you would otherwise avoid.” Why is it so difficult to accept the fact that these creeps would cause a crisis to get what they want and get their perverse kicks doing it. Its been done throughout history. Julius Ceaser wrote manuals on how to go about it. Its the height of childish naivety to think that America is immune from history. Thinking that "it can't happen here" is exactly why our country is in such dire straits.

"Birthers" are just American Citizens who want the "Truth" about the citizenship and eligibility of barack hussein obama.

We're not asking for birth certificates for Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson or Charlie Rangel, so it can't be about race.

Either obama has one, or he doesn't...and this issue WILL NOT REST until the truth is found out, no matter how loud the New York Times, the MSM, and the left tries to demogogue it, it will NOT GO AWAY.

As far as relating to "truthers", one has nothing to do with the other except the sharing of a lie.

So, David Freddosso considers it “Fantasy” that Obama refuses to release a Birth Certificate.

What's true “Fantasy” is David Freddosso is a journalist.

The difference is so startlingly clear that even the dumbest journalist or pundit can figure it out, with perhaps just a little prompting for the slowest dimwits of the bunch. Why, even the imbecile pundits at Politico are capable of grasping it. In fact, even the dumbest of dumb Democrats are capable of figuring it out (and that is quite an assertion, because so many feeble-minded people are Democrats).

Which explains why they are so afraid of acknowledging it.

In the case of the "Truther" conspiracy theories, proving or disproving them conclusively would require many thousands of pieces of evidence, testimony by engineering experts, demolition experts, and scientists; searching through unknown and unknowable repositories of confidential memos and transcripts and NSA call intercepts, foreign intelligence agency and diplomatic documents; testimony from perhaps thousands of individuals, depositions and trials and cross examination, and more. There's little chance of that happening, which is why "Truthers" can expound their wild ideas forever, with no chance that they can be conclusively put to bed. Absence of evidence means nothing to "Truthers" - they will happily claim that realists must prove a negative, which is an impossible standard to meet.

Whereas proving or disproving "birther" theories may require only the production of a single document, and it's not some mysterious or apocryphal or esoteric document that government authorities claim does not exist and therefore should not be expected to be found and produced, rather it is a document which is attested to and alleged by government authorities to exist, one which is secured in a well-known location and which can be revealed to public scrutiny as a result of what would be the voluntary action of a single, well-known and easily-identifiable person, who just so happens to be "the most powerful man in the world", one who is alleged to have graduated from arguably the most prestigious law school in the world, one who undoubtedly has been or should have been exposed to the legal concept of "the best evidence".

Is that really so difficult to grasp?

The obvious answer is that no, there is nothing difficult about it, which is why the "birther" theories have such traction. It also explains why "they" are so afraid of the "birthers" and of Trump. It explains why "they" will go to extreme lengths to discredit the "birthers" by attacking and ridiculing them and those who dare to expound on their theories, desperately doing anything and everything humanly possible to stifle them, that is, except to do the one thing that would prove or disprove them.

Does the long-form birth certificate exist? If so, does it contain any information that would be damaging to Dear Leader? Or, if not, is Dear Leader simply withholding it as part of a grand "rope-a-dope" strategy to discredit his opponents? (Frankly, as evil as Obama is, I haven't seen any evidence to point to him being smart enough to conceive of, let alone pull off, such a strategy).

Good article. I'd also add that there were far more truthers among mainstream Democrats than there are birthers among mainstream Republicans. The ultimate truther, Michael Moore, was given a front-row seat at the DNC in Boston back in 2004.

Did the chairman of the DNC ever denounce trutherism, the way the chairman of the RNC did a couple weeks ago?

I'd also point out that there's not a a single GOP elected Federal officeholder (at least not one of which I am aware) who embraces birtherism. There were more than a few Dems holding Federal office who, at the very least, toyed with trutherism.
