That's a shift in your argument, extra chromosome guy.

Please. As riddled as this board is with leftarded ninnies, it's hardly competent to judge anything - other than maybe homoerotic art.

Actually, all we know is that he has released a document which purports to be a COLB. HI has not affirmed its authenticity.
Actually, several representatives of the state have affirmed that Obama was born in Hawaii.
The only one that matters is that of the registrar, and she has clearly not been forthright on this matter.

Again, how, exactly? Are you implying that Hawaii's newspapers ran fraudulent assertions?
No, I'm just noting that the provenance of information found in a 48 year old newspaper is patently questionable. If you don't believe me, try to renew your driver's license with newspaper clippings as proof of your birth in the US, and let us know how that works out for ya.

And if you bugger up the quote tags again in your response, don't expect an answer.

Argument by blockheaded assertion. Noted.

So 70% of the country is participating in "argument by blockheaded assertion"? Surely you would have some evidence to back up this extraordinary claim, no?

Another unsupported assertion. If you're going to question the credibility of government officials, you need to do so, you know, credibility.

Good thing Obama isn't using solely newspaper clippings as the crux of his argument then.

It's not an assertion, it's a fact. Thanks for admitting that your opponents on this issue are towering intellects. That must have been difficult for you.

I can't be arsed to look one up, since this is all a giant internet fap fest to me and I don't doubt the veracity of the document to begin with. However, it should be pointed out that since the document released had been public for some time before the official statement by the HI DoH regarding their own records, the fact that they said nothing to indicate it is not valid can easily be viewed as evidence that they consider it perfectly acceptable and in line with the information they vouched for in their own records.

It's the Rush Limbaugh school of argument: If you dislike a person or group's conclusions, disregard their credentials to make such an argument and launch a personal attack on said credentials. Add an attack on their patriotism or rationality for added bonus in order to mask your own lack of respect for your audience.

Anyone who isn't a birther is immediately assumed to be corrupted by commie socialist ideals, which means they won't believe anything that isn't from a birther. Of course the birthers have already made up their minds that Obama isn't a US citizen and all these questions are just a transparent attempt to act like they are searching for the answer.

So the only thing left to do is laugh at them and remind them how many homoerotic scandals the republicans have gotten themselves into.

I see you are still having problems with the concept of the burden of proof. The stamp on the back by the registrar authenticates the COLB. Do you have any proof that the COLB is fake?

You mean it would if there were any way of knowing by inspection alone that it wasn't C&P'd from a legitimate document. Since we're not living in that world, the minimum requirement for any claim of authenticity can only be satisfied by presenting the document to the registrar for appraisal...but of course no one in the establishment media seems ready to put forth the no doubt herculean effort it would take to accomplish this.

You do know that in US courts, the burden of proof lies on the prosecution? You know, the whole "guilty until proven innocent" thing? Same deal here.

There is even less evidence for that than there is for Obama being born outside the US.

The stamp by the registrar indicates that he has seen and appraised the COLB and deemed it authentic. If you don't think that's good enough, too bad.

Yes.

It is you that cannot prove anything.

You cannot prove that the Certificate of Live Birth from Hawaii is anything but authentic.

You cannot prove that the State of Hawaii is mistaken in saying Obama was born in Hawaii.

Most of all, you cannot prove that Obama was born anywhere but Hawaii.


You've got nothing except obfuscations, lies, forgeries, red herrings, shifting goalposts and bullshit. Barack Obama is your freely, fairly and most of all legitimately elected President and will be until at least January 20, 2013. Deal with it.

Hardly. Obama ceded any fourth amendment (even assuming that applies to birth records) rights WRT information that had bearing on his eligibility for office when he declared his candidacy, wherefore the feds had a responsibility to access it - the apparent failure of the Bush administration to do so notwithstanding.
