More lies. Don't you know how to use Snopes, Steve?

Yes, and I also don't trust them as my only source.


Then why didn't you check them for the facts before posting that hoax?

That's where the "smoke" that Joe Agro was talking about comes from. Some
liars post something negative about Obama on the Internet; someone else
picks it up and starts spreading it around by e-mail (are you on Gunner's
re-mail lists? I am. They're full of crappy lies.). Then you post it here,
even though you know how to check it easily, and would have found out, if
you had checked, that it's a hoax.

So you perpetuate the crap. Get enough of this noise going, and it works
like Joseph Goebbels said it does: repeat a lie often enough, and people
start to believe it. Or, as in Joe's case, they start to believe that
"something must be there."

But nothing is really there, except a lot of people who mindlessly repeat
the lies, bouncing it back and forth in an echo chamber, until the truth
hardly has a chance.

The fact is that it would be very easy to stop all of this crap. Just
release his original birth certificate NOT a copy generated AFTER people
asked for it.

I would bet that very few people here (yourself included Ed) don't have
the original document. I have the original and a state generated copy.
They are ENTIRELY different documents.


This isn't Hawaii, Steve. Laws are different in different states. NOBODY
requires the original document for anything. That includes joining the CIA.
A certification with a certifying seal is considered standard today.

The whole birther thing is nuts.
