Ever deeper into the rabbit hole

I attempted to make a deal with you, LondonLad. You rejected the deal. I admit that I was never serious about it, as anybody with basic reading skills could tell. The fact is that your childish demands for irrelevant information are both pugnacious and puerile (break out the dictionary, if you have to). In America, we sometimes refer to this sort of thing as "sarcasm." I don't know if they have sarcasm in your country, I haven't been there yet, so I'll explain it for you, just in case.

Sarcasm isn't equivalent to lying. Here is a definition of sarcasm from Princeton:

witty language used to convey insults or scorn -- "he used sarcasm to upset his opponent"; "irony is wasted on the stupid"; "Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody's face but their own"--Jonathan Swift

Let's see if the definition fits.

Scorn: check!

Upset Opponent: check!

Irony wasted on the stupid: check!

Confused beholder: check!

On second thought, looks like it worked out just fine. That should put your knickers in a bit of a twist, old chap!

What lively little squirmer you are?

That “snarkycrap” post

YOU ARE NOT MEANT TO BE INTERESTED IN THE FUCKING SITE ARE YOU??

Its the Long Form posted there that is of interest not the fucking site. Now have you got anything to say about that and how suspicious it is that we haven't seen Obamas?

Nooo, you have nothing to say do you? Thats why you squirm on about the site itself in a vain attempt to not address the subject in hand whilst at the same time hoping no ones noticing your squirming.But you didn't count on London Lad sussing you well out did you?

Bullshit and lies, like a dentist with tooth decay - I've got a nose for it see?

"Oh I've known all along that none of you clowns had the information and a copy of the long form."

LondonLad, the "short form" reads ""This copy serves as prima facie evidence of the fact of birth in any court proceeding."

What don't you understand about this?

Oooh, oooh, me me!

Its the Long Form posted there that is of interest not the fucking site. Now have you got anything to say about that and how suspicious it is that we haven't seen Obamas?

Analogies are fun.

It's as suspicious as a nun in a convent.

It's as suspicious as water in a lake.

It's as suspicious as every other long-form birth certificate we haven't seen from every president in history

It's as suspicious as flies on cow turds

It's as suspicious curse words on a Public Enemy album

It's as suspicious as an incoherent and illiterate rant from Something Stinks

It's as suspicious as a British national's obsession with an irrelevant document belonging to the President (oh wait, I guess that is kinda suspicious. Doh!)

"Its the Long Form posted there that is of interest...Now have you got anything to say about that and how suspicious it is that we haven't seen Obamas?

Only birthers find it "suspicious" that Obama won't obey their command to produce a document that is of zero consequence in the real world.

LondonLad, haven't you noticed that people tend to ignore the demands of paranoid folks, because those demands are based on fantasy, not reality, and are a waste of time?

LondonLad, the "short form" reads ""This copy serves as prima facie evidence of the fact of birth in any court proceeding."

What don't you understand about this?

It lacked these:

6c Name of hospital or Institution (if not in hospital or institution give street address.)

7d Street Address

7f Mother’s Mailing Address.

I couldn't give a flying fuck. He's not my president. I'm mocking you clowns who can so easily be lead upthe garden path and back down agsin. YOU SHOULD be asking these questions. Its a fucking simple public document and the first black man who also happens to be half African has become your president but WILL NOT produce this simple cert. YOU ought to be asking why not.

I now hope he shits on you lot daily from a dizzy height. Blind trust MUST ALWAYS be punished.

There's another lack I've noticed

It lacked these:

6c Name of hospital or Institution (if not in hospital or institution give street address.)

7d Street Address

7f Mother’s Mailing Address.

Those also aren't on my birth certificate, or millions of other Americans' certificates, the ones we use to prove citizenship all the time, according to the State Department regulations, which you've seen 3 times now, and which Obama's public birth certificate meets, to the exact letter of the law.

What's lacking here is your brain. You're stuck in some kind of groove where you have to keep repeating the same shite over and over again, even though you know it's irrelevant shite. Why do you do that? Is it to prove that you're an immature imbecile? If so, job well done! No need for more proof, thanks!

"It lacked these: 6c Name of hospital or Institution (if not in hospital or institution give street address.) 7d Street Address"

So what?

The only people who think that information is relevent are birthers.

The birth certificate that Obama published online is prima fascie proof of his birth and citizenship in any court proceeding.

If a judge doesn't need to know the name of the hospital or his mother's mailing address in 1961, why do you?

Trust isn't blind

I now hope he shits on you lot daily from a dizzy height. Blind trust MUST ALWAYS be punished.

When it's backed by a mountain of evidence. Just because you clap your hands on your eyes and ears and yell LA LA LA LA LA LA LA like a little baby doesn't mean that the evidence doesn't exist. It only means that you're an idiot.

Wednesday, July 1, 2009 03:31 PM

"I couldn't give a flying fuck."

Jeez, what a liar you are.

You care very much, otherwise you wouldn't be commenting here.

Obvuiously you hate our president, so irrationally, in fact, that you've made yourself a fool for the birther movement.

“LondonLad, haven't you noticed that people tend to ignore the demands of paranoid folks, because those demands are based on fantasy, not reality, and are a waste of time?”

The paranoid also attempt to define for others what is, and must be, “of interest”. That’s why they’re diagnosed as paranoid.

Nothing worse than a paranoid, self-delusional wannabe cyber-thread tyrant.

Kinda comical to watch though, especially when they start growling and snarling over their chew toys.
