The “Birthers” are a group of misguided individuals that believe Barack Obama is not the President of the United States because he is not a citizen of this country. Internet rumors swirled during the presidential campaign about the president’s citizenship, mainly through the promulgation of falsehoods by radically extreme organizations and fringe groups. Among them was Jerome Corsi, the man who wrote Obama Nation– a book in which he claims President Obama was actually born in Kenya– and the birth certificate submitted is a forgery. This helped give rise to the movement.
The Birthers received more ammunition with the support of the conservative website WorldNetDaily, who started an on-line petition to have Obama’s birth certificate from Hawaii released to the public. Corsi, a writer for WorldNetDaily and former presidential candidate Alan Keyes, championed this cause with rabid fervor. WorldNetDaily even started collecting money to build billboards with the headline Where’s The Birth Certificate?
W.W.J.D.? Probably laugh himself silly.
Now this idea has been debunked repeatedly by media outlets, and also by the very fact that the aforementioned document has been produced and verified to be authentic. Non -partisan fact-checking site PolitiFact.com has indeed verified this. Is this enough to dispel the rumors and stop the Birthers movement in their tracks? Highly doubtful, considering they have no other purpose. They would just be another collection of empty vassals, waiting to be filled with another batch of witches brew no one cares anything about.
Ignorance is not bliss
How sad and pathetic. And the terrible spelling is even worse.
