Corsi's claim that Obama posted "false, fake birth certificate" flatly rejected by Hawaii Health

[Joanne98]

Summary: On Fox News, Obama Nation author Jerome Corsi claimed that the campaign of Sen. Barack Obama "has a false, fake birth certificate posted on their website." In fact, the Hawaii Department of Health has confirmed that the birth certificate posted online by the Obama campaign is "a valid Hawaii state birth certificate" and has called speculation about Obama's citizenship "pretty ridiculous."

1. Corsi? I just saw something posted about him regarding pedophilia.

[Qutzupalotl]

10. Yep, he likes dead children.

[hlthe2b]

18. Necropedophilia, that would be...

:evilgrin:

[smoogatz]

19. Or is Corsi a pedonecrophiliac?

Either way, Corsi is unfit for human company.

2. I have no doubts but why...

doesn't the Obama campaign just post a copy of the back of the certificate to show the seal to end this nonsense?

[blondeatlast]

4. He doesn't need to. No need to parrot that dimwittedness here. nt

[DCBob]

8. I am a long time Obama supporter probably longer than you but..

why let this stupid story hang out there? Is there a good reason? They posted the front, why not the back? I have been having a email debate with the nitwit reporter "Rob B" down in Texas who is writing about this. I can't answer that question.

9. Authenticity has been proven beyond any REASONABLE doubt;

the State of Hawai'i has spoken.

Some radical zealots will never be convinced but they wouldn't support Obama anyway.

No need to bring that to DU. It's been proven to any rational-thinking person and the wackos will never be convinced. That's why they are wackos.

Why the mention of how long you've supported Obama? I don't care about that--since you are here at DU, it's a given in my book.

[DCBob]

12. because your original reply which you deleted...

seemed to indicate otherwise. This issue will hang and many will believe it until there is irrefutable hard evidence. Unfortunately this is the America we live in today.

[Jazzgirl]

11. Show 'em a seal, they'll want something else.

It's a never ending game of bullshit. If Hawaii says its legit then let it go.....

[DCBob]

13. yes, I agree with that and that is what I have been using in my debates..

on this issue. I still think it would help to post the back. Enough said. I am done with this topic. Sorry if I came off as a downer. Obama is going to win this thing no matter what. McCain is hopeless.

[WeDidIt]

6. Concern noted. n/t

[LeftyMom]

14. Because they'll claim it's the back of a different certificate,

or that the seal looks phony, or that a stamper went missing in 1972 so it could be a fake or something.

Going out of his way to respond to the crazies suggests that their demands have merit.

[blondeatlast]

15. Yup!

:thumbsup:

[DCBob]

17. yes, probably you are right ...

It would be an endless tail chasing exercise with these idiots. Probably best to ignore it.

[tsuki]

16. Why? The tin foil hatters will just find another reason to claim it

is false. You will not be able to convince them. They don't even know that Hawaii is a state.

[yardwork]

22. Have you heard the latest about Jerome Corsi? The wife beating is the least of it.

The dog....

This will go viral soon.

[Vinca]

3. Hey . . . it's only the state government of the state the candidate

claims to have been born in . . . why should we believe that? :sarcasm:

[WeDidIt]

7. Yeah, tehre are photoshop artifcats in the file on the internet

and everybody KNOWS that if there are photoshop artifacts that measn it was created out of whole cloth. Those sorts of things never get into picture files that have things like certificate numbers redacted.

:sarcasm:

[WeDidIt]

5. NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!

Now the PUMA assholes might actually start looking for something REAL!


And I SOOOOO wanted tehm to keep spinning thier wheels on the birth certificate.

[glitch]

20. As soon as EVERYBODY realizes THEY JUST MAKE SHIT UP, the sooner we'll be rid of them.

Looking forward to it.

[Populista]

21. Take that, Swiftie

Corsi vs. The truth.

[Prophet 451]

23. Not that it matters

The people who would have believed that the certificate was fake will continue to believe it because they believe what they want to believe, simple as that.
