Well, this ought to make some Freepers' heads explode
I'm sure at least some of them use Snopes.

http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/birthcertificate.asp

CLAIM: A Certification of Live Birth document provided by the Obama campaign is a forgery.

Status: FALSE


The one thing I learned from this is that his prep-school teacher recounts how (and why) she remembers Obama's birth specifically. It's a good article.

10. He's probably one of those Obamacons now.
It doesn't matter if they're conservative or not (though I know you know that) - it only matters that if they don't agree with them, they're left wing liberals.

14. You're right. They will attack anything that doesn't agree with them. I'm surprised
they haven't attacked Ann Coulter yet.

4. "Reality has a well known liberal bias." Conservative mouthpiece, Stephen Colbert.
That's the freeps' actuality.

7. How far off in the weeds is someone, when Snopes and even Ann Coulter
are telling them to stop drinking the crazy juice?

12. Obamacide---that's what the Freepers will claim about
Dr. Rodney West.

Nevermind that the man was 98.

16. Not in the slightest
They've been claiming Snopes is "far-left" and "liberal" for a while.
