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.

I prefer to be more precise. There are two different 'A's on display with some similarity. If they were produced by two different smacks of the rubber stamp, then there is a flaw in rubber stamp that caused the similar effects, not an "ink smudge".

What is absurd about it?

You spout a lot of rhetoric and no facts, which is a good

leftard tactic for slow wits, if that’s your intended audience

Do you know what I find sad?

It's not otherwise good conservatives believing that Obama's birth certificate is a fake, or that he was born in Kenya, or that even if born in Hawaii he is not a natural born citizen, and is therefore ineligible to be President.

It's not even basing beliefs, in some cases, on flimsy evidence.

It's not even debating the evidence. You learn a lot through debate.

Some of these things are simply opinions, and some are based on the knowledge a person has, which may not be complete. None of us can keep up with everything. And we can disagree on a lot of things and still agree 95% of the time.

What I find sad is when conservatives base beliefs on flimsy or invalid or ridiculous evidence, and then when fellow conservatives say, um, actually, that doesn't make any sense and here's why, and present very valid reasons, and then the conspiracy believers turn on those of us who are really just trying to inject some reality and truth, and accuse their fellow conservatives of being liberals, obamabots, liars, trolls, on and on it goes.

That's the part that I think is sad.
