I apologize if it appears that I posted this as absolute truth. I had someone waiting on me and posted it in a hurry. I posted it as a “this is what is being said” kinda thing and was hoping folks could shed some light on it. That’s why I said keep your fingers crossed. Sorry for not expressing myself better. I guess we will know tomorrow. It was reported on the thread at the link that the story was sent to WND and Canada Free Press and to look for it tomorrow.

oh, my goodness ... I wasn’t taking any exception to your posting and am sorry if you read it that way.

My frustation is with how some event will happen and get misinterpreted, totally blown out of proportion, then everyone gets excited, only to find out it was ultimately nothing. It’s happened several times now, and isn’t fair to those who are following these cases to be set up time after time. I don’t know if it’s because English isn’t Dr. Taitz’s first language, or if she’s not familiar with the exact language of the courts, or if she tells friends/supporters something that they don’t understand and they translate from legalese to English without its retaining its original meaning ... whatever it is, it really has to stop.

It’s like the game “telephone” we played as kids where one child is told something, and whispers it to the next and then to the next, till it’s gone full circle so that the final statement bears no resemblance to the initial statement. Except this isn’t a kid’s game. It’s very serious. It’s a David v. Goliath, and David has to be exceedingly careful with his limited ammunition. This kind of misinformation/disinformation/misinterpretation just adds fuel to the fire of those who are trying to marginalize ‘birthers’ as nuts.
