The left image is from the WH PDF. Middle was high res released by AP. Right is Guthrie's low res snap. I think there were two uses of the same rubber stamp with a slightly flawed A, perhaps less ink on the white background form. This theory requires that two copies were brought from HI and one of those (the AP in the middle above) was printed on plain paper (no green hashes). The left image could easily have been altered since we know the image was manipulated at the WH. The middle one could have been altered and/or manipulated, but we won't know since AP only released a JPG scan.
It’s a freakin’ ink smudge dude.
The smiley face stuff is just dumb. Corsi and WND have taken an already sketchy conspiracy theory and turned it into an utter laughing stock. Commiserating with Alex Jones and claiming Donald Trump was in on the conspiracy are taking the crazy to whole new level of absurdity.
What is sad is seeing otherwise good conservatives buy into this garbage. I guess it proves the point that human nature is what it is and people on both the right and left are susceptible to falling for loopy conspiracy theories. At least birthers are well meaning, but at some point the madness really has to stop. Conspiracy theories this dumb make anyone associated with them look bad.
