White House releases Obama Birth Certificate

[LuciferSam]

If there is anything sadder than the birthers it is all the liberals raising cain about the birthers. I guess ya'll don't want to talk about bailouts, deficits, 14 trillion in debt, bombing Libya and the fact that ole Barry lied to you about Guantanamo, getting out of Bush's wars, etc.

You're right. We want to keep on topic.

i know the constitution, this entire thread is an exercise in deflecting racism in this country. tell me you are entitled to racism. that you are entitled to life of stupidity. i will call you an enemy of the state.

Dang, you're right. This is the best conspiracy I've ever heard of. How in the hell did they get George W. Bush to administer possibly the worst presidency of all time, to secure that the imposter would win the 2008 election? Brilliant!

Soros paid Bush off! It was all a setup.

No one seemed to question other black people's birth places who ran for President, like
Jessie Jackson 1984
Alan Keys 2004
Al Sharpton 2004
Shirley Chilsholm 1972

and if Herman Cain runs, I doubt people will question his birth also. It isn't a race thing.

Geo, you say that Obama proved his birthplace often many years ago, but to whom did he prove it? It wasn't in the news. It isn't my job to determine the legitimacy of the President, so I don't really care, but it sure doesn't seem that it was so widely known that he did prove it, at least in the news.

So who is responsible for checking out the President's creditials? Is it Congress? Is it a judge or court?

Hahahahahahahahahahaha.

That's funny.

I'm not going to dignify pathetic posts requesting further proof (or implying past or present absence of proof) of our President's birth on US soil.

The thing about conspiracy theories is that they are impervious to facts, evidence, reality--even proof.

 

[Lake View Too]

What proof do you have of that?

 

[bluecat]

I would just like to see The Donald release his hair and let it fly where it may. The origin of his hair is more bothersome than Obama's birth place.

What proof do you have of that?

Read the article at: How conspiracy theorists think - War Room - Salon.com
by Justin Elliot, who has studied these things.

Here's a quote from an interview of Elliot:


Did you ever have success disabusing anyone of their conspiracy theory?

Not once. The reason is that when you debate a conspiracy theorist it's like challenging an NFL football team to a game. Because conspiracy theorists have spent their lives memorizing every single detail necessary to win an argument. Even if you have the facts on your side in an abstract way, you're not going to win an argument if you have to go look at Google or go to the library to rebut every single point. They have hundreds of little confusing bits of information that they can throw at you. Even if you bat away 99 of them, the 100th, if you don't repute it immediately, they'll say, "Ah ha! There's an anomaly that you can't explain." The way they define the terms of the debate is that they just have to get you on one point, and then they have destroyed the validity of the conventional narrative.

The second thing is, it's a cult. And you can't disabuse a cult member of their beliefs, because it's central to their identity. Hardcore conspiracy theorists are attached to their conspiracy theories with the same force of conviction that religious adherents are attached to their religions. You can't rationally convince someone not to be a Christian or a Scientologist. That's their identity, that's who they are.
