Since I can’t find you on the new and improved JournalStar, thought I’d mosey on over here.
Keep up the good work.

It’s more of a Good Cop, Bad Cop thing.
Bill O’Reilly is the master of it.
On one hand, he says he doesn’t believe in the Birther nonsense, yet he keeps inviting Birthers on the show to spout their nonsense unchallenged. He even helps their cause by playing fake Devil’s advocate when he states things like, “So what if he was born in Kenya? He was still elected President. What’s the big deal?”

There’s a good quote by Michael Shermer on this very thing in a Salon article,

“There’s no amount of evidence or data that will change somebody’s mind,” says Michael Shermer, who is the publisher of Skeptic magazine and a columnist for Scientific American, and who holds an undergraduate and a master’s degree in psychology. “The more data you present a person, the more they doubt it … Once you’re committed, especially behaviorally committed or financially committed, the more impossible it becomes to change your mind.”

WHAT THE F$#@ are you doing writing a “State Paper” with this in your article, “We have not checked sources, but there are reports that some witnessed his birth in Kenya.” We have NOT CHECKED SOURCES?????? I haven’t checked my sources either, but you evidently are a CRACKHEAD…

This is the second. Newsflash – Obama is president of the country. He has nothing to prove to these delusional people and the accusations are beneath the dignity of the office. If he bows to every assault on his legitimacy, he will quickly watch his ability to lead errode, and the last thing this country needs is another poor leader.

Instead of saying “Obama needs to do this or that” regarding his birth certificate, how about good old journalistic fact checking before printing baseless claims.
