Original article: Racists for Obama

i am not reading the article, but the headline,

when I saw it and when I see it I can only think of "The Weekly World News".

I wonder how Batboy is doing.

My dear StefanMuc,

The document that is online has been photoshopped with a one pixel error in alignment which suggests that it is a forgery. Factcheck.org and Snopes.com couldn't even mention that it was from a template generated in November of 2001 which is plainly printed on the bottom left of the template.

Factcheck.org and Snopes have no credibility in this matter.

All you have to do is download the image and look at it in Photoshop and you can see the misalignment which is not what a word or document processor would generate but what would happen if you photoshopped a document.

Your candidate provided a manufactured piece of evidence to counter a legitimate question.

Regardless of his actual birthplace, that is a foul and grounds for disqualification.

The facts do not matter to trolls and true believers.

McCain won't touch this because the election is phony.

You new president is deceitful.

Original article: This Modern World

He really didn't want it.

All he would have had to do is show Obama's "birth certificate" and point out that it matched the online template and that the word OAHU is one pixel higher than the word HONOLULU which is on the same line which indicates Photoshopping rather than word or document processing.

A manufactured document was presented as proof against a legitimate question and the source of that document is Obama according to Hawaiian officials after Obama's emergency trip to Hawaii.

Hawaii has about as much cred as Snopes.com or Fatcheck.org which is zilch.

It is only one pixel off - that is all it takes to indicate a forgery.

Original article: Obama's grandmother dies

To the trolls,

You have no explanation for the one pixel error in the forgery.

Ad hominem attacks mean that you got nothing and you know it.

Hold onto the lie. Enjoy a Presidency that starts with deceit before the man is sworn in.

Nice poster.

I bet that all the text on the lines are lined up properly, unlike the Obama Birth Certificate which has the word OAHU one pixel higher than the word HONOLULU on the same line.

It was Photoshopped from a 2001 template.

The template:

The Obama document.

http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn227/Polarik/BO_Birth_Certificate.jpg

Notice the same time for birth, 7:24 PM.

Notice the same Island of birth.

Open it up in Photoshop and you can see the one pixel error in alignment for the line which contains HONOLULU OAHU HONOLULU.

That is a forgery. You know where it came from. Obama.

Enjoy the next four years of Bush administration policies.

To the trolls,

Ad Hominem attacks mean you got nothing. You cant explain the 1 pixel misalignment without the document having been Photoshopped.

So you start calling names and hurling petards because you know that facts and logic are not tools you can use.

It doesn't matter because he is going to be President anyway.

He used a manufactured document to answer a legitimate question and that is deceitful and disingenuous.

Without a doubt.

You betcha!

Go ahead and call me names like you are in high school. I am duly unimpressed.

Another goof.

The date of birth is misaligned with the time of birth and the sex.

Original article: Barack Obama's epic win

Yeah, but his Birth Certificate was Photoshopped.

See for yourself, download it, open it in Photoshop and look at the line with HONOLULU OAHU AND HONOLULU. OAHU is one pixel higher than the first instance of HONOLULU and the second instance of HONOLULU is one pixel lower than the first one.

This is not word processing, it is Photoshopping.

He provided a Photoshopped document to answer a legitimate question and had it posted on the web.

The template used to make the forgery with the same time of birth as Obama:

http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m35/opendna/HI_birthcert.jpg?t=1213561049

The Obama document with the misaligned text and the same time of birth as the template:

What else does he say that you believe?

Original article: Barack Obama's epic win

My dear LABC63,

Adults know that all those promises he made would require raising taxes through the roof.

Adults know that the deficits from the past 8 years will also require raising taxes.

Adults know better to swallow hope, believe, and change from a good pitch man.

Adults know the new boss is the same as the old boss.
