Read Tom Maguire. He lays it out better than I do.

The left couldn't make the wingnuts on the right look this bad if they spent ten million dollars buying TV time! And it's easy, all we have to do is sit back, roll our eyes and smile. So… to answer your question yes, it does seem perfectly logical and reasonable to me hell, it's a bargain.

Thanks. I live for the points.

I realize that, as a liberals, you believe certain things and see the world in a certain way. That’s OK. But there will be times in your life when a bit of skepticism and common sense will keep you from appearing hopelessly naïve.

When Michael J. Fox told you and your friends that if John Kerry was elected crippled people would walk again, did you believe him?

Aren’t you curious in the least why someone would not only refuse to release a document that purportedly supports their position, but would spend a million dollars to block people from seeing it? Does that seem perfectly logical and reasonable to you?

As your mothers probably said, “If everyone is jumping off a bridge, would you do it too?” Just because the edict has come down from your leftist betters that this question is to be met with derision, it doesn’t mean that you can’t break away, show some intellectual curiosity and ask some relevant questions.

Try being smart. You might like it.

Oh please jwest don't change a thing about yourself, I think you're perfect just the way you are.

Take your link to the “The Western Center for Journalism” (WCJ) article… I have to admit when I first saw “The Western Center for Journalism” logo and layout I thought jwest was sending us to a link with legitimate information BUT it didn't take long to realize that their “story” was based on quotes and links to: Newsmax; debbieschlussel.com; bogusbirthcertificate.blogspot.com AND started with:

Editors Note: In December ‘08 a retired CIA officer commissioned an investigator to look into the Barack Obama birth certificate and eligibility issue.

Notice that no where in their article is the name of the retired CIA officer that commissioned the “report” (sic) or who the supposed “investigator” was… It gets BETTER, guess who is on the front page of WCJ today? Floyd Brown, 1/4 of the infamous “Floyd and Mary Beth Brown Duo”. And guess what he's writting about?… CNN’s gross negligence on birth certificate

Thank you, thank you, thank you jwest and keep up those posts… they always so darn thought provoking and informative.

Sometimes, I wish I could be more like you. Life would be much easier if I could simply accept what I’m told as fact and not question things that don’t make sense.

It must be nice to be Obama also, with an extra million to fight the release of a document that supports his claims. (He must be doing it for the principle…….Ya, that’s the ticket)

*sigh*

The GOP is facing down the kooks in their midst, just as the Democrats spent a good part of 2007 and 2008 facing down the 9-11 Truthers. I congratulate both parties for being truly moderate and excluding these issues as crazy.
