Truer words were never spoken.

What is true is that

the Kenyan Obama BC that appeared to originate from Europe that said in small watermarks as a fake was easily found.

The Kenyan/Australian Obama BC that was "Punked" certainly is a fake.

However, The Smith's Obama Kenyan BC has stood up to scrutiny so far where the critics have come up lacking.

Red,

You're entirely missing Polarik's point about the provenance of Smith's Kenyan BC.

provenance (noun)
1: origin, source
2: the history of ownership of a valued object or work of art or literature

Polarik: "But, Birthers kept looking at images of Kenyan birth certificates and thinking they must be real, without ever questioning their provenance. As long as they continue do that, they will be easily fooled."
Until Smith provides indisputable proof of his physical trip to Kenya, the provenance of his Kenyan BC cannot begin to be established. Listen to Polarik on this point. "Don't believe everything you see." Examining/Verifying the data on Smith's Kenyan BC doesn't establish the provenance of the document itself.

I guess that is only if you ignore WND's investigation of the Smith BC and reported that the Hospital in Kenya denied it was real and the form of the Birth Certificate didn't match any official document within Kenya including birth certificates. There also were some minor clues like date formats, who the doctors were at the time, etc, that while not conclusive, sure do add to the big items to show it was a fake. Someone also pointed out it looked suspiciously like a modified Dominican Republic certificate.

WND isn't exactly a source hostile to the BC movement either. There have been so many fake ones dumped to embarass the movement (such as the 'red background one' or the one with the Dutch watermark that, if translated, mocked 'birthers) that it does well to demand as much, if not more proof of those than we demand the President provide.
Instead, too many are so hoping for change, they latch onto the first thing that they think will bring the promised change (sound familiar).
