No, Buckeye, I didn’t find him funny..... ever. Anyone that makes fun of people that see the BC as a significant issue isn’t funny. If they want to make fun of Orly, etc, that’s fine but to call other FReepers idiots for thinking there are problems with the BC, that’s trollish. If I believed that O was on the up and up with the BC, I would simply avoid these threads. I would never come here and tell them they were idiots.
I guess you and I don’t find the same things funny. Toward the end, parsifal got very ugly. In fact, didn’t JR call him a troll and that’s why he left?
Oh and by the way, I think you have some serious doubts as to the authenticity of that online BC. :P
It’s not birthers’ questions about the BC that concern us. (I guess I should speak for myself here and not the entire Sanity Squad.) It’s the “conspiracy group think” that won’t listen to reason. It’s the promotion of con-artists like Orly Taitz and Lucas Smith as patriots. It’s the perpetuation of demonstrably false Internet rumors. It’s the delusional misinterpretations of the law. It’s the insistance that anyone and everyone who disagrees is a paid, Obot troll involved in one giant conspiracy.
To be fair, there are only a few persistent birthers who are guilty of the above. Some of you can have reasonable, polite (if somewhat heated) discussions and walk away in disagreement. There are several birthers with whom I would enjoy a beer and a few laughs. (Although I doubt the feeling is mutual where I am concerned.)
The tin foil EMP thing was poking fun at Orly’s promoters and followers not at birthers who have legitimate questions about the BC.
JimRob warned parsy to stop posting “like a troll.” For a while, we (anti-birthers) believed that JimRob didn’t want any debate on eligibility threads, but that isn’t the case. He allows the debate so freepers can do what they do best - work out the details through a common-sense discussion of the facts. Parsy imposed a “self-zot” in protest of birthers on FR.
Yep, at one point I was an avowed Polarik birther but no more. (The sketchy-looking COLB first released gave me cause to doubt it based on my personal expertise with printed forms.) Do I think Obama’s hiding something regarding his BC? Absolutely. Would I like to see the long-form. Sure. In the scheme of things though, the BC is irrelevant to me and y’all know why.
G’night, joe.
