You asked for something published, having stated there was no mention of it anywhere before Nov 2008. You are BUSTED.
ZOT
Okay. Let me narrow that down for you. Something published before Nov. 2008 and after the Kim Wong Ark decision. That should give you about 100 years to work with. Good luck!
No, I made it quite explicit that that was NOT what I was claiming.
The web, and even FreeRepublic, is a large sprawling place, and I'm not adamantly concluding that no single person EVER posited this argument before November 2008. (I mean, I could probably find one person who claimed online that Obama was ineligible because he's black, or because he's an alien reptoid. Lone individuals can have wrong ideas that don't take off.)George Collins is a prime example of someone whose arguments were rebutted, as the Supreme Court itself rebutted them. In matters of law, it doesn't get more final than that.I'm claiming that if it was made, that it wasn't taken seriously even by the birther community. It was ignored as wrongheaded, or actively rebutted as incorrect.
Moreover, since you have repeatedly expressed interest in my being banned, I must ask: why?
I was originally pinged into this thread by two different posters, who were discussing a previous theory of mine. I joined in, responded to questions posed to me, and attempted to clarify exactly what my theory was. I've sourced and linked my information where applicable, both in defense of my claims and to rebut others'. I have endeavored to be generally neutral in my approach to the evidence presented. And I don't believe I've been rude or unduly confrontational to anyone in the thread.
So what do you say I've done that would merit my banning?
