    I think it's important to distinguish between factual observations and ideology.

    If I present a one hundred dollar bill to a cashier and the iodine indicater pen leaves a harsh black line on the bill, that is a factual observation.

    It doesn't matter if the cashier agrees with me politically or not. It doesn't matter if the cashier hates my ethnic group or not. It doesn't matter if the cashier likes me or not. It doesn't matter if the cashier is a neo-nazi wack-job or not.

    Saying, "You just don't like me because I'm a Jew" won't make that black line go away. A fact is a fact is a fact and needs to be answered as such.

    Here (again...) is a live link to the document released to the press:

    http://abcnews.go.com/images/Politics/ap_obama_certificate_dm_110427.pdf

    Anybody can download it, save it, zoom in; pan around and see whether this guy has made a real factual observation or not.

    Weak Analogy, Yizuman.

    What you're effectively saying is:

    JW's regard Apostates as Nut Jobs that shouldn't be listened to, but I know them to be truthful.

    Some people regard Birthers as Nut jobs that shouldn't be listened to, but since people believed Apostates to be nut jobs,when I know them to be truthful, Birthers must also be truthful.

    Going to have to do better.

    It's this constant resetting of the goal posts,

    Seriously, you act like researchers found everything about Obama in one fell swoop? The Obama SS# issue has surfaced only recently- Don't discount the power of circumstantial evidence-

    We have had deniers of the Apollo moon landings holding out for absolute proof of a human moon landing- and finally it has happened, 40 years later, in 2009, an orbiting lunar satellite photographed the Apollo 11 LRO on the Moon -

    What did the moon landing deniers say- Oh that picture has been photoshopped- it's fake.

    Assuming for the moment that the pictures of the typefaces is real - what do your own eyes tell you? Do the letters match? Yes or No? This is just an exercise in visual acuity, the next step is what you do with that observation.

    Again, not true.

    Here is an article from February 2010 showing the Social Security issue that the birthers "have just recently" started to use :

    It was largely ignored until obama released the long-form birth certificate. Looks like changing the goal posts to me....

    So as soon as one thing is debunked, another is dugged up from the dregs of the internet.

    When you left the lie, how do you know absolutely for certain you didn't leave one lie for another lie (liberalism)?

    Only you can answer that question...

    Replace the word, "an article" with "The Watchtower".

    Old habits die hard, wouldn't you say?

    Just because I don't believe every sentence spewing out of the WND site doesn't make me a bleeding heart liberal.

    I just value truth, common sense and logic over cheap partisan hackery.

    and Yizuman, you can continue to use a logically fallacious comparison between the Watchtower & WND all you want, but it doesnt change the fact that you're wrong.

    Thank you TD for the BC link.

    line 2, word-- Male, look at the 'e' and compare it to the others. Is it the same or is it different? Is this a factual observation? Case closed.

    I'm so glad you said that moshe.

    Here is what I meant by being disingenious, not on your part of course, but in the entire discourse of the birther movement.

    So you have one link from ABC in which the 'e' is skewed:

    http://abcnews.go.com/images/Politics/ap_obama_certificate_dm_110427.pdf

    I have another, directly from the white house page where it isn't:

    http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/rss_viewer/birth-certificate-long-form.pdf

    and yet another copy where it isn't:

    http://www.tmz.com/2011/04/27/white-house-barack-obama-birth-certificate-hawaii/

    Now, here is my problem. Instead of realizing that the ABC version of the PDF isn't even the same PDF ON THE WHITE HOUSE'S PAGE, a birther will willfully use the first PDF, spread it around and say that the 'e' means the document is a forgery and Obama is misleading us, even though:

    • We don't know what a skewed 'e' actually means in the first place.
    • There is a non-skewed 'e' PDF available on the white house page (again, i still don't know what the 'e' proves, but i'll run with it)
    • The Hawaii Health Department has released Two legal forms of the birth certificate
    • All credible evidence points to a Barack Obama being born in Hawaii.

    And that, in a nutshell, is why I don't believe anything coming out of the Birther Camp.

    Dune, forensic document experts want to examine the actual long form document- not a PDF- we shall see if the power of a supoena will yet prevail.

    The letter analysis is based on the Whitehouse pdf.

    added- the 'e' looks skewed to me, but it's easier to see in the ABC enlargement-
