Original article: Obama's winning argument

My dear JimAK1

He can do all that and more. Have you never watched a Hollywood fantasy of the "Magic Negro"?

Relax, the Illuminati has been planning this for a long time. "The Shining", "The Legend of Bagger Vance", "Evan Almight" and the "Green Mile" were made to pave the way for Barack Obama.

That's why white folks trust and love him so.

Ewige Blumenkraft!

Spike Lee needs to get with the program!

Pot calls Kettle Black

Obama supporters have no fears whatsoever of a McCain Palin administration.

Right?

Pot calls Kettle Black!

OMG it's Sarah Palin! What a world! What a World! What a world!

Obama!

The choice of sleazebag republicans!

FOUR!

MORE!

YEARS!

Yes we can sucker the american public!

We have done it before and we will do it again!

Except this time we won't use 9/11.

My dear gkrevvv,

"They are afraid of the boogey man.

Do you see the difference?"

Which boogey man are you talking about, McCain or Obama?

What is the difference?

My dear gkrevvv,

There is a subtle difference between a McDonald's Double Cheeseburger and a Burger King Double Cheeseburger.

But really, would you willingly choose to eat either one?

Same foreign policy.

Same bailout policy.

Same lies about taxation and the economy.

My dear Mr. Greenwald,

I wonder why you omitted Obama's birth certificate? No one has produced it as of yet. I had to produce mine to get a license, to get a security clearance and a passport. How come Obama hasn't just shown his birth certificate and ending this nonsense about him not being native born and not eligible for the office?

How come the Governor of Hawaii is making it off limits until after the election?

Why did you forget to include this? Is it because it didn't suit your agenda?

What is the big deal anyway?

Just show the birth certificate.

My dear Dean Booth,

Well excuse me but that is new news to me. Then it should be no problem to have the five lawsuits dismissed by simply producing the document or a copy of the document. I look forward to its release.

It seems that people want Palin's medical records released, which are deeply personal and private so the release of a civil document of birth should be no problem at all to you all.

Right?

/sound of crickets

How soon before the document is made public?

Then again, both Alaska and Hawaii are sort of "different" from the rest of the states, being noncontiguous and all.

My dear Joel_Grant,

My birth certificate was typed on a typewriter. Do you know what they are? That image does not look like it was typed. I downloaded the image and opened it up in Photoshop and zoomed in on the letters. the very distinctive green pattern on the paper is missing within the boundary space of the letters. If they were typed on this document the green pattern would be visible within the open spaces of the letters. It is not.

Why is Snopes lying about this?

Don't believe me - download it, open it up and zoom in on the "typed" letters.

Why would anyone post such a blatant forgery?

Not that you give a damn.

Saturday, November 1, 2008 06:23 PM

My dear Joel_Grant, the laugh is on you! Did they have laser printers in 1961?

Look at the bottom left of the document.

It says clearly

"OHSM 1.1 *Rev. (11/01) LASER"

Obama's "Birth Certificate" was printed in November 2001 on a LASER printer.

I didn't thin typewriters had helvetica in 1961 and now I see it was done on a modern computer on a LASER PRINTER.

PROOF POSITIVE that OBAMA was BORN in November 2001 or someone is a a liar because this was presented as THE birth certificate and it is clearly stated right on the document that it is a do over "Rev. 11/01". It said "This copy serves as priam facie evidence" - that they don't have the original.

It is no proof at all.

Why was it posted as proof?

Why did Snopes lie about it or not even look at it?

Why am I the first person to notice this? Is everyone asleep or in a trance?

Somebody lied about this and there are 5 lawsuits, the Governor of Hawaii, the courts and the MSM is hiding this.

My dear Kitt,

I WENT TO THE SITE AND DOWNLOADED IT AND LOOKED AT IT.

YOU CLEARLY DID NOT.

HELLO! ANYONE IN THERE?

READ THE BOTTOM OF THE DOCUMENT!!!

Saturday, November 1, 2008 06:31 PM

My Dear Joel_Grant,

Hertz Donut?

I bet you will not download it, open it up, zoom in and read the text on the bottom left of the document, will you?

SLEEPER AWAKE!

Saturday, November 1, 2008 06:35 PM

My dear Susan Wood,

Please post a link to an image of the "Birth Certificate" that was not printed out on a laser printer in November of 2001 using a modern computer.

Go ahead, it should be easy enough.

Wake up.

Saturday, November 1, 2008 06:41 PM

My dear Klyterus,

The proof came out of a laser printer in November 2001. I had nothing to do with it, or the posting of it on the web, of the debunking of it, or the debunking of the debunking of it.

I will take credit for debunking the debunking of the debunking of the validity of the proof.

Sure it is a legal document, but it was issued in November 2001.

You calling Obama's grandma a liar?

Saturday, November 1, 2008 06:48 PM

My dear Paul Daniel Ash,

I consider anyone who would believe either Obama or McCain to be extremely stupid and ignorant. The same people who sold us the war on terror have sold us Obama and that speaks volumes about the intelligence of the average citizen.

Did anyone else notice the date and the "rev."?

I never looked at it before since I am voting for Nader and wouldn't trust a democrat or a republican to do anything but sell out the country for some stock tips and some bribes.

Please post a link to someone else who found it and posted it. I could use the reassurance that I am not alone.
