My very first post on this thread said out loud and in front of God’s creation that this is not a smoking gun, and birthers do themselves a disservice by pretending it is.
Who is saying that it is the smoking gun?
The only one I even see implying such a thing is you.


It seems to me you can't recognize when a glass is "topped".

Here ya go...

“Who is saying that it is the smoking gun?”

Finally, at long last, we get to what I originally bothered posting about. No more concerning my ineligibility to post based on being a crypto-anti-birther troll.

Well, to begin with, editor-surveyor, who on this very thread said, “When it comes to Obama’s birth fraud, every thing is a smoking gun Troll.” But nevermind. I realize you don’t actually think it is the smoking gun, just that birthers tend to act that way. It’s an exaggeration on my part, but not by far. Merely referring to it as a “breaktrhrough,” though I realize is aimed at getting hits, is overdoing it. In a couple of days the new revelation gets added on the pile, to be of no greater significance than stonewalling in the courts, the 57 states thing, Bill Richardson speaking out of turn, etc.

But in the meantime it’s all hosannas and glory of glories, now no one can deny us and we will carry the day! I heard someone say that about some random quote they dredged up from Tom Paine about how English common law doesn’t necessarily apply in America. Seriously, they literally said now no one will be able to ignore us, or somesuch thing.

Ask any outsider to a conspiracy club, and they’ll tell you this is one of the most annoying things about them. Heck, it doesn’t have to about conspiracy nuts; this applies to all insulated groups. They inevitably have a much higher opinion of things that may or may not confirm what they’re looking to be confirmed. What would you say to a Truther who said, upon hearing jet fuel may not burn hot enough on its own to turn steel into liquid, “Aha! That’s it! now no one can deny the Truth.”

It may be to their advantage, in that non-truthers have to explain it away. But it’s no smoking gun, and it no doubt could be explained away. Birthers likewise habitually overplay their hand, in my opinion. That was my point.

“The only one I even see implying such a thing is you.”

You’re not looking closely enough. Birthers veritably exploded when this “breakthrough” hit.

“It seems to me you can’t recognize when a glass is ‘topped’”

What topped it, this “breakthrough”? Ah, then it is the “smoking gun,” and you owe me a correction. If the cup already was overflowing, why would this be worth mentioning? Who cares, case closed, let’s go home. If the case isn’t closed, and the cup hasn’t been topped, why are you posting a picture of it? that sounds like premature declaration of victory, which is exactly what I originally posted to counteract.
