What facts? You haven't said. Say so and be done with it.

I have said nothing about believing it or not - just that I have seen no credible source that says it is false. You think Donald Trump couldn't find a credible expert to demolish this - but you could?

I have been consistent throughout that birthers need to EAT CROW. I haven't falsely attributed any statements to you. You are full of lies.

I am defending our party from the idiocy that threw Ann Coulter under the bus. I couldn't read an Ann Coulter thread on ANY subject without hearing about how nobody should ever listen to her ever again because she wasn't a birther.

I am gloating that what I long predicted : THAT THIS ISSUE WAS A LOSER AND WOULD BLOW UP IN FACES - came true. I am especially happy because it happened so early in the game - and kudos to Trump for that!

Yeah, the guy who warned the Roman army to not march into Hannibal's ambush was fighting to defend Hannibal and thought him more valuable than the Roman Republic!!!!

I think you are confused.

Those who said this was going to be a disaster have been shown to be correct.

Those who thought this was the path to getting 0bama out of office (and Biden in) were shown to be wrong.

EAT CROW AND LIKE IT!

So your crush on Ann Coulter means more to you than the Constitution? You have no opinion whether the birth certificate is fake or not. You can argue from either side, because it doesn’t matter to you. You can take the position that it’s fake (without actually believing that yourself) or take the position that it’s genuine (without actually believing that either) because you don’t care. All you care about is telling anyone who holds an opinion contrary to Ann Coulter’s to eat crow. Because you think somebody who disagreed with her was as immature as you, and threw her under the bus. You have no opinion whether the person occupying the Oval Office is Constitutionally eligible to do so, because you don’t care one way or the other. How sad.

Maybe to you “credible” means “NPR” or TV news, or perhaps talking heads on the radio, but if you actually want to learn something, try reading it, and if you find something inaccurate, you can post your comment. Saying that “the source isn’t credible” won’t do. Lots of useful and interesting comments on the thread.

(Video)Graphic Artist Questions Obama Birth Cert. Says The Doc Has Been ‘Edited In Its Entirety’
KJCT 8 ^ | UPDATED: 1:54 am MDT May 5, 2011 | Don Coleman

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. — Even after the White House offered up President Obama’s birth certificate, there are still those who are questioning it’s legitimacy.

One Grand Junction man who works as a graphic artist says he has discovered something strange about the certificate. “There’s no doubt that it has been edited and quite significantly,” James Colby said.

He’s been involved in graphic arts since 2004 and has never had a reason to doubt our president’s birthplace. In fact, he says he is politically independent. Yet, Colby says he can’t ignore the obvious.

After downloading the birth certificate straight off of the White House’s website, he started noticing the apparent flaws in a computer program called Adobe Illustrator.

“Legitimate digitized, scanned documents will always have [a] faded appearance... There are too many jagged features, here.” he said as the scoured the certificate. “So, it’s not a single document, it’s actually ‘compositive’ layers.”

Colby says scanned images should only have one digitized layer. He says President Obama’s birth certificate has almost 50 layers. “You can see the layers flash yourself just by rapidly zooming in and out in your web browser. That means that the browser is rendering different layers.”

Colby concedes that there are some instances where scanned images produce multiple layers. “It’s a program called OCR that converts text in the images into computer readable text,” he said. “But, it would never work on signatures. So, the fact that the signatures have been edited discounts the possibility of it being OCR.”

Colby continued pointing out the apparent problems. “You’ll notice the white background behind these letters, which is also super-imposed, actually covers up a little bit of the ‘D’ in this word,” he explained. “Even his name has been edited, all except for the ‘R’ in ‘Barack.’”

But, Colby can not figure out why the White House would release something so obvious. “The question is why is it so obvious,” he said. “Maybe the original certificate was damaged, maybe it was faded, maybe someone was just trying to clean it up. [But,] you’d think if that was the case, they would supply the original certificate just so there would be no suspicions.”

Colby says as strange as the edits are, they don’t prove a thing. But, he believes that they do point in one direction. “It’s definitely been edited in its entirety, so the indication would point to the probability of it being fake,” he said. “But, nobody can really make that claim.”

Colby isn’t alone in believing the birth certificate has been altered. Other graphic artists and various conservative groups from across the country are saying the same thing.

Anne Coulter was thrown under the bus because of her love for Cristy, at the expense of all the other prospects.
