Name one thing that I’ve lied about. Just one. You can’t. The entire Birther movement, however, has been built by liars, fraudsters, scammers, hoaxsters, and loons.
All but the last category of the foregoing list requires intent to deceive. A lie is not the same as stating a sincerely held belief that happens to be wrong. If Ronald Reagan's rule is to be observed here, we need to cut each other some slack. These are all very interesting questions, and there are people who spend their careers detecting fraud who think they've found something here. That means, statistically, most people who doubt Obama's eligibility can have a reasonable doubt without sacrificing their integrity. That also means they don’t have to be loons to entertain those doubts. Question authority, remember? Even God allows that, as long as it is sincere and not truly dishonest. So, if you're really a fan of the Gipper, and I have no reason to doubt you are, why can you not follow his rule and speak no evil of your fellow conservatives? It really would be better for all of us. Half the energy behind this movement is the desire for vindication. No one likes to be marginalized, especially when they see their cause as just. It is furiously frustrating. That's why so many have swooned over Trump. He's giving them their vindication catharsis. It's a powerful emotion. And unfair marginalization only increases its power. Just sayin' ...
