“I do, however, know enough to, unlike you, take a firm position.”
So? That goes nowhere toward establishing I don’t know anything. Which is why I said “Two can play at that game”: to point out that I, unlike you, apparently realize asking things like “Do you know anything?” is childish.
“My advice, stop playing checkers when everybody else is playing chess.”
Like I said, your “Do you know anything?” game is childish. If I’m generally playing checkers, that is tiddlywinks.
Ah, yes, “Placenta Man.” A retort worthy of Kasparov or Fischer.
“I do, however, know enough to, unlike you, take a firm position.”
This would be useful, nay, necessary on my part were I interested in entering that debate. But the reason I posted was to bring up how the debate is not what birthers seem to think it is, and that their wild overstatements only hurt their credibility. Therefore, me stradling the fence on “book flap gate” is neither here nor there.
“Like you’re doing on this thread?”
You mean I’m making flase alarms about false alarms. Clever, sir. But in future might I suggest you take a short cut through “I know you are but what am I?”
“Once again...Talk about burying the lead!”
That doesn’t follow. My opposition to birtherism was upfront. That’s why you’ve all piled on me, as expected. There’s been no lead-burying. I’m not sure you know what the phrase means.
It's easy for me...he's a pathological liar on any number of things...for his own political and financial expediency.
“’You can make false alarms without realizing you’re doing so.’
‘Like you’re doing on this thread?’
‘I think you realize exactly what you’re doing.’”
By the way, there’s a pretty clear contradiction above. At least you’ve fulfilled your birther pledge by uping the ante and outright calling people with whom you disagree liars, rather than pussy-footing around like me.
This would be useful, nay, necessary on my part were I interested in entering that debate.
Well thank you for that. You're all but admitting that you're little more than a disrupting troll on this issue.
“But you won’t even say definitively what you believe, much less know”
Yeah, that’s because, like I said, I’m not interested in debating what I believe or know about the significance of Obama’s bio lies, except to say they aren’t a smoking gun. it is a limited point I started out to make. Others do not have to enter the arguments you want to have just because you say so.
Disrupting, after-birther troll.
Yep! Same spots, different year.
“Well thank you for that. You’re all but admitting that you’re little more than a disrupting troll on this issue.”
If what I originally posted constitutes being a troll, then yes, that’s all I set out to do. And I was nice enough to send up a flare indicating my anti-birtherism; you’re welcome.
From my point of view, anti-birthers who enter birther threads in order to denounce birtherism are not trolls. You do not own these threads, contrary to how you act. The articles are for any and everyone to comment upon, including the majority of conservatives who aren’t birthers.
“OMG! You mean there hasn’t been an ongoing effort to hide anything and everything associated with this man for years now?
Who knew! Obviously not you! /sarcasm”
This wasn’t hidden, though, was it? I mean, whoever happened upon it didn’t need to get a court order like for the long form, did they? Did I somehow miss the story on how a secret agent lost his life to deliver the information?
“What then, in your opinion, is the ‘more appropriate way to go about it’?”
Like I said, not to pretend everything’s a smoking gun, as you know birthers tend to do.
“And who claimed that this was a slam dunk?”
That my own verbiage. Okay, maybe they haven’t said “smoking gun” or “slam dunk” in every instance, but they are far too giddy and basically overplay every single hand. I may nto be able to prove it to you, but more than having been cowed by leftists that’s why most people write birthers off as conspiracy nuts.
“A full glass eventually spills over the rim, doesn’t it?”
Yes. But you have to be adding a liquid, not hot air.
I agree.
Right you are. It has caused me great frustration to see people who consider themselves Conservatives, who say they believe in the Constitution, be critical of a voice in the woods who relentlessly has been trying to expose the truth. I guess being a birther wasn’t/isn’t politically correct. Gag me
“Disrupting, after-birther troll.
Yep! Same spots, different year”
Why shouldn’t you be disrupted? What if a bunch of DUers started posting on FR (as if they don’t already)? Wouldn’t you want the conservative faithful to jump on their threads and tell them they’re wrong?
He lies. That’s all there is to it. There is no Truth in him.
