people who fear debate and open and reasonable discussion use pathetic demonising terms such as "birther"
Birther is a label for people who question Obama's birth place.
It has no negative connotations unless you apply them yourself.
Why is it that you see "birthers" as demons?

The definition of racist: Someone winning an argument with a liberal and don't let them give you any crap bout Breitbart the left didn't have any problems when he was working with the Huffington Post.
1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
"Very rarely have I met a more impressive person than Tammy Duckworth," said Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., in an article the day before she announced her candidacy Dec. 18. "She just has the poise and exudes the type of character that I think would make her an astounding public servant."
Duckworth is happy to point out that she and Hawai'i-raised Punahou graduate Obama have "a kama'aina connection."
Both were born outside the country — Obama in Indonesia, Duckworth in Thailand — and graduated from high school in Honolulu — Punahou and McKinley, respectively.

Damn the Internet's "never goes away" record system is a BITCH!
Well, thank God for the internet providing a record so we don't have to rely on our memories to relay the past and get called "liar" for it.

As WND reported last July, the Kapi’olani Medical Center trumpeted – then later concealed – a letter allegedly written by President Obama in which he ostensibly declares his birth at the facility.
But the authenticity of that letter remains in doubt. Since WND raised
questions about the veracity of the letter itself and its content, the
White House has refused to say if the message is real and if its text originated with the president.
When WND correspondent Les Kinsolving asked Press Secretary Robert Gibbs about the letter at the July 13 news briefing, Gibbs dodged the question, refusing to confirm its authenticity while belittling Kinsolving for even posing the question.
Since the medical center used the letter for a high-profile fundraising campaign in the Spring 2009 edition of its Inspire Magazine, the FBI and United States Secret Service said the
matter could potentially lead to criminal prosecution were the letter determined
to be fraudulent.
It would be a charity-fraud scheme,” said FBI
spokesman Steve Kodak. “It would be investigated by us or the Secret
Service. We both have jurisdiction over that.”
Precisely why Kapiolani Medical Center pulled the letter down off of their website, never to be seen or discussed again by Kapiolani or the White House.
met·a·phor [met-uh-fawr, -fer] Show IPA noun 1. a figure of speech in which a term or phrase is applied to something to which it is not literally applicable in order to suggest a resemblance, as in “A mighty fortress is our God.” Compare mixed metaphor, simile ( def. 1 ) . 2. something used, or regarded as being used, to represent something else; emblem; symbol.
I also keep reading that Obama himself vetted this which only makes sense.
I can just hear the liberals screaming about how breitbart is a racist and he has a racist agenda, blah blah blah. If this is 100% true and not an error or photoshop than this is truly historic. Any bill/action Obama has enacted should be halted immediately, he should be thrown in jail and a new president appointed.

Its threads like this that as much prove someone is keeping watch.
Here is a classic example of this documented on ATS
HI Paper Erases Obama Indonesia Birth Story
Honolulu Advertiser Caught Censoring The News

And here, Skeptic Overlord posts his link to the screen jab he took,
of the orignal page.

And, the wayback machine still has the archive of the old article.

Here are the links to the thread ...its classic. Someone was watching the thread,
they got to the paper, the paper edited it just that fast! Amazing dirty work.

Obama Birther Rumor Debunked As Literary Agent Clarifies Mistake
However, the woman who wrote Obama's biography in the pamphlet said Thursday that she had misidentified Obama's place of birth.
"This was nothing more than a fact-checking error by me -- an agency assistant at the time," Miriam Goderich, who worked for the literary agency Acton & Dystel, told Yahoo News. "There was never any information given to us by Obama in any of his correspondence or other communications suggesting in any way that he was born in Kenya and not Hawaii."
Or This...Briebart is turning over in his grave
The post on Breitbart.com included a disclaimer, stating that the site's founder Andrew Breitbart, who died earlier this year, never subscribed to birther theories.
"Andrew Breitbart was never a 'Birther,' and Breitbart News is a site that has never advocated the narrative of 'Birtherism,'" read the note. "In fact, Andrew believed, as we do, that President Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on August 4, 1961."
I'll let the 150+ folks who flagged this get back to crazy town now...
* Barbara Bush was NOT born in "Rye, New York" as most sources report.
Incredibly, most trustworthy publications get Barbara Bush's place of birth wrong.
All of the following publications, in some past editions, erroneously claim Mrs. Bush was born in "Rye, New York." (She was raised in Rye, New York, but was born in New York City.)

Really...can you show me in the Constitution that defines what exactly a "natural born citizen" is???
As with a lot of things in the Constitution...it is up for interpretation because they were not specific about it.
At it's base...the whole Birther movement is a lame attempt to invalidate a legitimate election by the American people. Birthers are more treasonous than they claim Obama is.

Forger is a label for people who do not question Obama's birth place.
It has no negative connotations unless you apply them yourself.
Why is it that you see "Forgers" as saints?

Really...where do you keep reading that Obama vetted that bio himself???
I would love to see some sources.
Submission guidelines at the Dystel & Goderich website (original emphasis): "[Y]ou should describe in two or three sentences—no more—what the book will be about. This is followed by another brief paragraph on why it is being written and then another on why you are qualified to write it....Finally, there should be a more formal narrative Bio of the author."
