Thank you. That was very constructive unlike Adevoc Satanae and his clueless drivel.
Personal attacks are wonderful. I guess you are angry because you made a baseless claim, I asked you to prove it, and you could not. Sorry that happened to you and has upset you so.

Actually, I have posted my source. Its a tiny source among many other sources out there that are on the interwebz. I also already stated why I believe in it.
You are trying to prove me wrong.
Im trying to ask you to show me your sources (not someone helping you) but sources that you believe in that contradict that I am saying.
(aka prove me wrong instead of coming off sounding like an internet Troll)

You are the one who tossed the first stone by calling me ignorant.
Maybe you should check your glass house. I think it has a few cracks in it.

We can only show you things that actually exist, facts, documents, testimony, all of these things can only be produced when they in fact are real. At this point the birthers are pretty much asking for unicorns and that is not something that is at all possible. ...

We're simply asking for the same sort of documentation any of us could probably produce. Obama hasn't. You mean to say that if Obama was born in Hawaii, they never created a Birth Certificate at all for him? That would be very strange.
The only Birth Certificate we've seen is one from Kenya. Is it fake? I don't know for sure but I would be more prepared to doubt it if, say, there were a Hawaii birth certificate. There's only one out there and it's from Kenya.
You're from the media and you can't even understand that? I'm sure you really do understand it.
Finally, the President isn't supposed to be assumed to meet qualifications unless proved beyond a reasonable doubt that he doesn't.
The burden should have been on him to show he meets qualifications.
But that's so obvious it's even hard to think of saying it.
The Founding Fathers put the natural born citizen requirement in the Constitution because they knew one day a foreigner would try to destroy the U.S. from the inside. That foreigner is Barack Hussein Obama.

Evidence is manipulated, distorted, and deleted all the time. Just look at Global Warming.
Obama's worse fear is that a couple of states actually do their jobs and verify that candidates on their ballots are qualified to be there. This is in the works in a few states. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

So World Net Daily had a birther article? How is this news?
You are talking about a website that is a pure and unashamed shill for the Republican Party's most Neo-Conservative members. They will support any conspiracy no matter how half-baked but only so long as it makes Democrats look bad.
This is the same website that still contends that President Clinton covered up a missile attack on TWA Flight 800 by Jihadis, and that has published a story questioning if leading Democrats were the incarnates of demons.
Half a dozen times they have published "internal sources" within the Israeli military saying an attack on Iran was assured within days.
Worst of all, WND is profiting off of the Tea Party Movement by having their "Tea Party At Sea" cruise and Taking America Back conference both of which are for-profit ventures.
This is not how a news organization should behave. They are hucksters at best and profit off of political division, hatred and fear. They are no different than the televangelist promising miracles for only a small donation and the Wild West snake oil salesman.
People believe such blatantly horrible journalism only because they want to. You, birthers hate President Obama and you are clinging to every single scrap of anything you can that backs up your feelings, no matter how dubious and morally filthy the source is.

We're really glad that you like our President. I'm sure that he'll be welcomed to ruin England next, being a self-described 'world citizen' and all....

The birthers aren't interested in finding the truth, if they were, this debate would have been over two years ago.
Birthers have never been interested in the truth, they never have, they never will. That's why they make up fake birth certificates and make up lies continuously.
