“If Dr Fukino violated state law twice to disclose birth information, did she not just damage any credibility she might have had concerning this issue?”
Hardly. Birthers have loudly demanded ANSWERS to their questions. She has answered them the best she could.
Holding it against her is hypocritical. It’s not clear she broke the law in asserting this public fact about a public figure anyway. She didnt release private records in her statement.
Dismissing this official validation of Obama’s birth record is an irrational attempt to hold on to a false belief by rejecting any data or facts that refute it. You can believe the earth is flat with that mindset.
As NR put it:
“The hallmark of a conspiracy theory is that a lack of evidence for the theory is taken as yet more evidence for the theory. Indeed, the maddening thing about dealing with conspiracy hobbyists of this or any sort is the ever-shifting nature of their argument and their alleged evidence: Never mind the birth certificate, his step-grandmother said he was born in Kenya! (No, she didn’t.)”
