Be wary of the being set up by professional pro-Obama bloggers who uses sophistry, asks you to prove everything they ask for, use multiple log-in names, and other techniques. They did the same thing to Hillary's campaign in 2007-8. See the movie "Blog Wars" for more insight on this from the 2004 campaign.

If they were simple casual posters, they wouldn't be here trying to discredit these issues through logic circles and misdirection. Life's too short to try to convert people they think are “nut cases” - instead they are trying to dissuade new people who are just picking up on or are casually watching the Eligibility suits. I've caught on to other ones who pretend to be Conservative plants, trying to persuade readers to support Romney and other RINOs in 2010 and 2012.

They're almost always PAID schills on a mission - in this case, trying to drive people away from Eligibility suit questions.

17 Techniques for Truth Suppression

3. Characterize the charges as “rumors” or, better yet, “wild rumors.” If, in spite of the news blackout, the public is still able to learn about the suspicious facts, it can only be through “rumors.” (If they tend to believe the “rumors” it must be because they are simply “paranoid” or “hysterical.”)

4. Knock down straw men. Deal only with the weakest aspects of the weakest charges. Even better, create your own straw men. Make up wild rumors (or plant false stories) and give them lead play when you appear to debunk all the charges, real and fanciful alike.

12. Require the skeptics to solve the crime completely. E.g. If Foster was murdered, who did it and why?

17. Flood the Internet with agents. This is the answer to the question, “What could possibly motivate a person to spend hour upon hour on Internet news groups defending the government and/or the press and harassing genuine critics?” Don't the authorities have defenders enough in all the newspapers, magazines, radio, and television? One would think refusing to print critical letters and screening out serious callers or dumping them from radio talk shows would be control enough, but, obviously, it is not.

LOL. You can't refute Loren's point that there was no COLB posted without a seal, so you post a long list of ad hominems.

Typical crackpot behavior.

That’s why I haven’t been posting on the BC threads much. Obviously someone isn’t doing their job to rid these threads of the obvious organized teams of Obots. May be time to find another forum. Enough stress without dealing with hoards of trolls allowed to run rampant.
I don’t care how long they have been here, if they donate or whatever, if they don’t believe in the BC issue, they have no right to disrupt, name call, etc. Why spend hours arguing with other Freepers? WHY? Because they aren’t are Obots on the BC threads and they are here to take control of the conversation. It’s total BS!! I wonder if we all went over to a thread and all began to start arguments, call people idiots, etc. what would happen?
