After Birtherism: More Silliness (And Worse)
They say that when the bottom falls out of a conspiracy theory, true believers don’t just slap their foreheads, roll their eyes, and embrace sweet reason; they up the crazy. Having seen the way Obama’s birth certificate rollout went down at the teeming, fevered wingnut community that is Freerepublic.com, I can confirm this. Clearly, even if this birther thing fades, the paranoid, spiteful, self-righteous impulse driving it won’t. It’ll find some other idiotic fantasy to latch onto soon enough. Judge for yourself from the sampling below. (Note: the headers are ours; everything else is as posted.)
What’s He Hiding?
Only yesterday the Bamster said there was no point in releasing the LFBC because it wouldn’t change anybodies mind. A day later he does a 180. Either this guy is over medicated or White House polls show he is so far on the losing side of this issue he has to release something.

There’s no way this doesn’t have a political motive. Maybe his polling really is that bad and he wants to take it off the table for 2012.

Th[e] big question Obama needs to answer is Why? Did people have to sit in jai[l], millions spent on defending against having to show this, problems with Hawaii certifying him as eligible to be on their ballot, Why Why Why???”

“Wake up people. This is all a distraction by Obama. He’s doing something bad now/soon and is using this so people will be distracted by this and not the real news, whatever that is….”

There are many reasons to oppose his tyrannical collectivist reign of terror. The birth certificate issue seemed to be rabbit trail from focusing on real issues.

It’s a Fake (Because … Why Would Obama Release the Real One, Proving the Birthers Right? Hello?!)
He’s not going to show this if it isn’t showing what he wants to show…inotherwords…my gut feeling tells me this is a fantastic fake. DO you think he’s going to unveil that he was born in Kenya or that his daddy is Sotero? Not going to happen. It’s another fake.

According to FOX News, it’s not a Birth Certificate, it is the Certificate of Live Birth. They said, that’s what the State of HI gives to everyone who requests a Birth Certificate.

Fake. Block 20 uses different font size for the month and day than for the year.

Why is the O in Oahu floating like a balloon above the line, but not in OBAMA?

the font of the “A” on line 13 appears different from the “A” in the date on line 20. ?

Why does this look like it’s a copy from a book? The left side is a curved page….and why the out of context border? The border has been added on purpose for some reason…

It looks like a piece of paper with a square cut out, and the BC was put in the middle, then photocopied.

I’m around Barry’s age, and was born in NYS. And even accounting for the difference in states, size of the municipalities, and hospitals, my BC doesn’t look anything like that COLB. FWIW.

Now, does the serial number of the certificate fit in with the known serial numbers?……….

It’s a Fake (Because … He Looked Shifty At the Press Conference)
I am listening to Obama at the news conference. Based on his demeanor, his voice — this is a all a con.

Zero was wearing a US flag pin at the press briefing he just held. Has he EVER worn a flag pin before ???????????

Time to Move On … to the College Transcripts
Goody.
Then we just “move the goal posts” hee hee hee
Where is your original passport? Where are your college records and financial aid info? etc.

Now for the college transcripts…………………

Trump wonders now how 0 got into Columbia and Harvard while not being a good student prior to that. Why not release his transcripts?

This Changes Nothing: He’s Still Funny Lookin’
So his mother is an American citizen, his father was an African studying in Hawaii…Obama is not a natural born citizen, correct?
– Vision (“Did I not say to you that if you would believe, you would see the glory of God?” John 11:40)
If his father was a British subject he’s still unqualified. The SCOTUS, CIA, NSA, etc. should do their job or stand in front of a firing squad.
– Waco (From Seward to Sara)
What this does, essentially, is re-define the definition of natural born citizen…now, it is perfectly fine to only have ONE parent as an American citizen, not two.
– magritte (“There are moments, Jeeves, when one asks oneself “Do trousers matter?”)
Game is not over, his father wasn’t a citizen. Its only over for those who can’t think for themselves.
If your way were true any enemy of the United States could impregnate an American woman, raise the child with anti-American philosophies, then run that child for POTUS when the time is right for destruction from within.
Now braindead Obama worshippers may think this is the intent of ‘natural born’ but people with brains know this is not what the founders intended.
Natural born = TWO citizen parents and has always meant that. Our founders weren’t as stupid as Obama worshippers are.
– conservativegramma
His father was NOT an American citizen, so that makes him Native Born, not Natural born. He’s still not eligible to be president! Also, his mother could not confer citizenship on Obama at the age of 18.
She had to be a citizen for 5 years after the age of 14. She’s 1 year shy!
