Were you alive during Watergate?
The same claims could have been made at the time. That Nixon's enemies were wasting their time and making themselves foolish by pursuing a two-bit burglary conspiracy.
I recall reading articles for weeks which appeared practically on the last page of my local newspaper. High ranking officials by the dozens assured people that there was nothing there.
By the end, over sixty people were convicted of felonies, articles of impeachment were ready to pass against Nixon, and the President finally resigned in disgrace.
The key to Watergate was that the entire machinery of the federal government was put to work maintaining the conspiracy and most of the media were afraid to ask questions. Afraid, perhaps, of being added to Nixon's enemies list.
I would suggest that you first make your best determination as to what is the truth, and then dedicate yourself to exposing that truth; especially in a case like this where the information to debunk the conspiracy should be so readily available.
Most reasonable people would have thought it ridiculous to believe that Dan Rather would base his attack on George Bush on such blatantly forged documents. But it did happen.
If Obama has nothing to hide, then why is he hiding so much?
Excellent post.
And I remember Watergate very well. The truth came out slowly, over many months, and those digging into the scandal were soundly ridiculed.
