I do not trust any group right now claiming to be the leaders of conservative views, better off to be a lone wolf that catches its own dinner than be a hungry pack.

And I do believe that there is to some extent an effort to organize people here in fruitless endeavors, not that birthers is going nowhere its hitting them from all angles.

Eventually its a war of attrition by one side or the other and of course technology and having the high ground is a tactical advantage, but here on the internet its about setting up a following and I fear some freepers may follow trolls posting suggestive ideas that lead down a blind path or in circles.

This is an interesting project that needs to be kept low keyed but used, Obama polls are falling faster than a souffle during an earthquake.

IMO, it's always better to to be the "lone wolf that catches its own dinner than be a hungry pack." And that's exactly what's happening here -- these are lone wolves doing this.

The beauty of this thing is that it isn't organized by some group "claiming to be the leaders of conservative views." It's a pretty big assumption on your part to think otherwise. Further, certain philosophies/types don't "herd" together well in groups and others do. Liberals do because they're like sheep who yearn to be led; conservatives don't because they're "lone wolves" who resent those who presume to lead them. Natures of the beasts.

So IF there's "to some extent an effort to organize peope [on FR] in fruitless endeavors," I wouldn't worry about it much. And though you indentify yourself as a "lone wolf," you sound a little too timid for that. It sounds to me like your too frightened to do much more than sit back and wring your hands at what you see other "wolves" doing.
