Where do you get your insight into why he posted a forged birth certificate? And why would you defend that?
Oh, that's easy. I'm an Obama plant. I was sent here from the White House to explain the plan.
See, Obama needs birthers right where he had them, in the 'lunatic fringe' category, in order to maintain the aura of victimhood, and to be able to paint ALL his enemies as fact-resistant loons. Birthers became a problem when Trump made the idea mainstream. The *real* certificate was issued to make fools of Obama's opponents, once it started becoming a problem, but certain defects were built into the file to ensure that the issue didn't die altogether.
And why would you defend that?
I'm not defending it. I'm explaining it. Obama told us to 'spike the football' in the endzone. At this point, most people will abandon the birther issue, but so long as we keep 5% or so on the hook, it's enough to tip the advantage towards Obama for 2012.
(While I'm kidding about being an Obama plant, this is the harsh truth. You guys are being manipulated by the left, because they NEED you.)
