This says it all for me:
“In conclusion, not a single argument put forth by the eligibility challengers holds up. Each is either a misinterpretation at best or an outright falsehood at worst. Arguing over this issue has become a waste of time much better spent on other things. Unfortunately, there are a few folks who continue to cling to this view, and equally unfortunate is the often venomous attitude they display toward anyone who disagrees with them. Most of the arguments you may encounter will consist of one or more of the claims we have covered above. And most of the time, they will count on you not bothering to actually try to research or verify what they claim a particular court case says. Consider this your “Cliff Notes” on all their arguments—a concise, documented reference to all that is wrong about their claims.”
Again.
Your quote:
‘I prefer to look at facts: what has happened and what is happening now.
Based on what has happened with Obama and the theory that he was not born in the U.S., the challenges to his eligibility helped him with undecided voters more than it hurt him. That’s why he wanted to keep the issue alive rather than resolving it.’
Here are the problems. First, you state something as fact that you have zero evidence to support.
Second, the thing you state as fact is a mainstay fairytale direct from the moonbatiest of obot enclaves. It is NOT a fact. It is part and parcel of the ideology that drives the blindest Obama supporters to worshipful obeisance of their idol.
Here’s how it works. Obots—you included—begin with the following premise: Obama is liked and respected in general. More specifically, he is looked up to as a man of honesty, integrity and decency. *Therefore* when his truthfulness re his birth narrative is challenged, it helps him with voters.
Iow, voters hold Obama and his integrity in such high esteem that when someone challenges his truthfulness, it redounds to Obama’s benefit.
This is no more than moonbats projecting their own exalted and adulatory attitude toward Obama onto others who share not a scintilla of it. Rather, what you have is an electorate that was willing to give Obama the benefit of the doubt, but which was only too receptive to revelations of Obama’s lies and fraud.
The facts bear this out. The only effective tactic McCain ever tried on Obama was to expose his arrogance. That ad hurt Obama measurably and helped McCain by the same token. (Which is why McCain immediately dropped that attack and never used it again. Throughout the campaign he eschewed success and embraced failure—with foregone results.)
When Trump first launched the BC attack on Obama in 2011, he (Trump) shot to the lead in every poll. This is not bc attacks on Obama’s veracity re his birth helped O; it is bc they hurt Obama and helped Trump. That is a fact. It is also the reason Obama rushed out an amateurish forgery: Trump was eating him alive, and he had to do major damage control ASAP.
None of this, of course, registers with obots. They live in their own, separate reality. In that world, Obama is set high on a pedestal, and challenges to his integrity only make him greater and stronger.
Fine. You and your fellow obots can go on believing that as long as you like. Just stop spreading that garbage here. It stinks.
