Say What? 64 Percent Of Republicans Admit To Being Birthers
News One for Black America ^ | January 18, 2013 | Michael Arceneaux

This just in: The majority of Republicans still don’t believe that President Barack Obama is from ’round these parts.

a new nationwide survey of registered voters that examines Americans’ belief in political conspiracy theories, Fairleigh Dickinson University’s PublicMind project found that 64 percent of Republicans think it’s “probably true” that President Obama is hiding important information about his background and early life.

Yes, even though the President has a memoir he released long before he became a national political figure and released his birth certificate and had his kinfolk attest to his story — ditto for the teachers, neighbors, and old classmates along the way — nope, none of that matters.

To be fair, 63 percent of Americans believe in at least one political conspiracy theory, though the others are far more common.

Other factors that have contributed to the lingering believe that Obama is secretly from Kenya? The fact that the President is constantly IMing Allah.

The researchers noted:

Generally, the more people know about current events, the less likely they are to believe in conspiracy theories — but not among Republicans, where more knowledge leads to greater belief in political conspiracies.”

Fairleigh Dickinson political scientist Dan Cassino, added:

There are several possible explanations for this. It could be that more conspiracy-minded Republicans seek out more information, or that the information some Republicans seek out just tends to reinforce these myths.

Now, where on Earth would they find such information?

And then there’s this:

SARAH PALIN: Well, I appreciate that the Donald [Trump, pictured] wants to spend his resources in getting to the bottom of something that so interests him and many Americans. You know, more power to him. He’s not just throwing stones and – from the sidelines...

Who his real father is? College records? His REAL record in high school? Why he turned on his grandparents?

Proud birther since before the ‘08 election. My conviction on that has only grown stronger. No one plays the silly games 0bamugabe has if he isn’t hiding something extremely damaging. The only thing that could seriously damage him on this issue is if he’s not eligible to be POTUS. Occam’s Razor.

The publicly available evidence is clear. Barack Hussein Obama II was adopted by Lolo Soetoro in Hawaii, 1967, with a legal name change to Barry Soetoro. Soetoro’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham-Soetoro, established a preponderance of the evidence standard of intent to forfeit U.S. Citizenship for Soetoro by notifiying the U.S. State Department of intent to stay in Indonesia indefinitely. And Barack Hussein Obama Soebarkah should be removed from her U.S. passport because he has naturalized in a foreign state.

To be fair, believing that Obama is hiding information about his background isn't the same as being a birther.

Sorry, Scooter, that makes you a birther.

Wrong. I believe Obama was a.) born in Hawaii and b.) is perfectly eligible to serve as President. This most certainly makes me *not* a birther.

What do you think he is hiding then?

forget about being a ‘birther’, as we have no idea where or when 0bama was born

why? because 0bama has NEVER OFFICIALLY submitted ANY identification documentation to ANY state

just get him to OFFICIALLY submit the paperwork... then we can proceed

of course, until he does, he could be from Korea... and without any documentation OFFICIALLY SUBMITTED saying otherwise, you can’t say he isn’t without perpetuating the fraud yourself

Since I believe Obama is eligible to run for the Presidency, I’m not a birther. However, I have a lot of questions about his early life, on up thru when he left college. And no, his fantasies recorded in his books are NOT something I’d rely on...

Why do you have questions about his early life?

I suspect that this guy Michael Arceneaux is a "sharker."
Believes that sharks today still swim the Atlantic slave trade routes waiting for slaves to be thrown overboard from Republican slave ships.

And as long as Obama’s background remains a closely guarded secret, the number of birthers will only increase with time.

Any swinging d*ck can become POTUS these days.

Those who think conspiracies are not possible are stupid beyond belief. They live in a pretty rose colored world with fluffy pink and blue ribbons and bows decorating it. Conspiracies have ruled history, and still do.
