Charles Johnson, who helped FreeRepublic expose the Mapes fraud, has lined up on the fake side.
... and he was on the "genuine" side with the Hawaii one.
It's all political, to the favor of Obama with Charles Johnson, in other words.
Me, I honestly believe the one posted, purportedly from Hawaii, is neither here nor there, because it couldn't prove anything anyone wants to know, even if it were genuine.
This one, purportedly from Kenya, could prove a great deal, but it's what so many people want to believe, so badly, and therefore it is highly suspicious.
But, the entire birth certificate thing is a giant red herring anyway, because Obama's ineligibility under the Constution is already established, with no birth certificate(s) necessary.
So, we have another big distraction, along about the time several of us FReepers were really beginning to put together the Constitutional case, for original intent.
That's going to be lost in the uproar, again, and Obama gets another reprieve, another year.
Charles and Polarik are on the fake side, but I’m on the side that is willing to let this play out. Orly Taitz has asked for authentication, and the court has this document in its possession now. It is entitled to some benefit of the doubt, I think, because despite the objections about Lavender, Republic, numbers, etc., it sure does look like something that was typed on a third-world manual typewriter and has been folded most of the time for 45 years. The paper has permanent curvature. Until someone can show evidence of fakery that is based on more than just argumentation, I do not want us to rush to judgment. Let’s gather evidence pro or con, but leave the verdict to the judge.
