: If you don't have a computer or access to the internet, then you are out of luck if you want to read what is on FactCheck's website. And even if you had a computer and access to the internet, Factcheck is a site that many people don't trust at all.

The same people who distrust Factcheck, namely birthers, also distrust the MSM, even Fox, so I don't see how distributing copies of it to ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox and the rest would satisfy any of them. Likewise, the birther controversy has been largely confined to the internet, so I really don't see the imperative of reaching people without online access, who most likely hadn't even heard of the controversy.

Finally, it's not like the COLB is the only piece of evidence. It's corroborated by the birth announcements as well as by official statements from Hawaii's Health department.

That's going to be enough to convince everyone except staunch Obama opponents who would never vote for him, anyway.

I therefore don't see any reason for him to provide any more evidence that he has already one.

Can you come up with one?

*******

Curiosity, you are getting funnier and funnier by the day. I think you are starting to lose your sense of reason, that is, you don't seem to be thinking topics through very carefully before you write about them at this website. It looks more and more to me that you are more worried about winning an argument than you are about in looking at the Obama birth certificate controversy in an honest way.

For example:

1. CBS 60 MINUTES show: Can you really equate a copy of Obama's birth certificate being displayed on internet site FactCheck with a copy being discussed and dissected on the CBS show 60 Minutes, where they will probably have document experts who discuss how they put the Obama birth certificate through all kinds of tests.

2. NBC DATELINE show: I can't wait for investigative show DATELINE, like CBS 60 MINUTES, putting Obama's birth certificate, probably Obama's short form, through all kinds of tests and questioning some of the best document people in the country about Obama's birth certificate as they hold up the copy in front of the tv camera.

3. ABC 20/20 show: 20/20, like 60 MINUTES and DATELINE, will surely do a detailed discussion about every item on the Obama short form birth certificate that they too hold up in front of the camera for all the world to do. Again, they will also discuss Obama's birth certificate issue between now and election day Nov. 2012.

4. FoxNews: And do you realize what kind of exciting shows people like Hannity, Beck, and O'Reilly, Chris Wallace and Geraldo would have if they had a copy of Obama's birth certificate in hand and up close? They would probably have a panel of experts on their shows to discuss Obama's birth certificate on just about every one their shows from now until election day Nov. 2012.

5. Trump: Have you been hiding in a cave the last few weeks? Because if you had not, you would have seen and heard Trump suddenly put the Obama birth certificate into the mainstream media news world-wide as a serious topic.

6. That is, if the Obama birth certificate controversy was at one time only an internet controversy as you say above, then Trump has changed all that because he has now made sure that it is also a full-blown mainstream news controversy. It also looks like the Trump Obama birth certificate controversy is not going away any time soon from being a hot topic in the world-wide mainstream media news.

7. So, again, your idea that Obama's birth certificate being displayed on FactCheck is just as good as being displayed on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and FoxNews is funny to the point of being, as former President Clinton recently said, "ludicrous."

If my poll numbers were as far in the tank as his I'd release every bit of information I had proving every claim I'd ever made.

You and the far left have the same answers to every question any Birther asks...and most of these are really non-answers. You are running with people who want to make fools of conservatives...and

You think Michelle Bachmann is an idiot.

Who are some other stalwart conservative politicians you believe to be idiots? Thanks in advance.
