That has got to be one of the most naive statements I have ever heard. If I had a penny for every internet rumor that's been made up out of whole cloth...
Of course there are internet rumors as well as RL gossip mongers. Intelligent people ask for answers to the person the rumor is about. When that person refuses to answer then even in RL, you think it must be true.
For that matter, obama has never once said anything is a rumor on his BC. In fact the only person to ever speak to the lawsuits was axelturf. So maybe all of the rumors are true. obama's website may have had something but I can't remember. Dailykos and mediamatters answered on their website. obama is silent. You would never know he had 20 plus lawsuits against him. He did joke about everyone thinking he was born in a manger. Maybe we need to look for farm animal documents.
Thank you for your comments.
