If you really, really dislike Barack Obama, his long-form birth certificate, finally proffered in exasperation, is quite simply a counterfeit.
If you are a fan of the president or even a respectful critic you are relieved finally to have rid the country of the plague of birtherism, the rabid belief that Obama wasnt born in this country and isnt constitutionally qualified to be president.
To whichever group one claims membership, one cant help wondering when exactly we lost our minds.
...
Yes, obviously. Trump resurrected the birther cause and breathed new life into it. But it wasnt only to end the debate that Obama sent for his certificate. According to the vineyard, it was also to prevent other Republican candidates from looking sane by comparison to Trump.
...
In a saner time, Trump would be dismissed as the carnival barker Obama implied he is. People would have recognized Trump as a self-aggrandizing megalomaniac and put a period at the end of the sentence. Not remotely would his name be followed with this phrase: who is leading other Republican candidates in polls.
...
Alas, there is no reasoning with the unreasonable, too many of whom these days seem to self-identify as Republicans or conservatives. This is as Democrats would have it, needless to say, but no one is served by our national descent into silliness. Sadly missing on the Republican side is the leveling voice of the grown-up who will say not only that he takes Obamas word (and the clear evidence), but that the Republican Party wont tolerate further discussion. Case closed.

That poll is probably what pushed obama to “plug the damn hole”. So someone grabbed the 6/28/2008 work-in-process birth certificate and put it online for the world to see.
Saul Alinsky was right and would be laughing his ass off right now if could see how making fun of the birthers could shut up all conservatives so easily. The ussue for me was not that he was born in Hawaii it was because his father was not. my understanding was that because his father was not a US Citizen Zero was no qualified to hold office. Is he or not no one has said or noone knows. Obama has lied everytime he has opened his mouth and peole like this dumbass parker is upset because we never believed him about his BC when he refused to show it. There is nothing wrong with the birthers it is the rest of you.
In 2 days of speeches and panels, John Fund made one passing birtherism joke. Other than that, the topics were about serious legislative and political issues.
Dedicated, lifelong conservatives involved in actively promoting traditional conservatism are not espousing birtherism. Period.
Heritage Foundation? Pretty much a scripted program.
Yup, which was my point from the beginning. Most prominent conservative politicians, analysts and intellectuals never bought into the birther nonsense and always sought to distance themselves from it.
Dedicated, lifelong conservatives involved in actively promoting traditional conservatism are not espousing birtherism. Period.....
Ah..yes, traditional conservatism.
Log Cabin Republicans share the Hilton Anatole with the right-wing Heritage Foundation

Obama was born in Kenya. Period.
Obama’s Hawaiian COLB is fraudulent. Period.
Sad discourse on how gullible those that claim to be conservatives when they believe Obama has not lied :

You have no idea what you're talking about...you just made that up.
Must have been in a closet 'cause I never saw them or heard from them.
Ok, fine and dandy....... It's going nowhere.....Time to move on and win on the real issues now.
Which anti Obama issue is getting traction in the MSM outlets?
You not...color you pink. You've been actively supporting Obama for years.
I'm in the biz too. When I started we set type by hand. We used process cameras, contact tables, rubylith and film negatives to separate color. Now I can do it all on my MacBook Pro and CS4.
I agree the document is suspicious. More suspicious is the fact that such a poorly executed example is offered, when all the tools to create a flawless counterfeit were at hand.
Had the WH simply released the same version they assumedly provided to the AP, there would be no discussion. We are being played.
Gullible beyond belief. They should go play Game Goo and learn about the world.
I'll just add that to your long list of unfounded nonsensical postings.
It’s only mostly dead.
Which one is being pushed beside the BC?
And possible Log Cabin Republican.
not that there is anything wrong with that...whew
