Reasoning with Birthers — Mission: impossible

Befluffed Republican
     This morning, a friend noted that President Obama had just then released his long-form birth certificate.
     “Do you suppose that’ll put an end to it?” he asked.
     “Nope,” I said.
     Earlier this afternoon, Matt Coker reported that Birthers are already screaming “fraud.”
     That’s what OC’s Orly Taitz is saying. Why? Cuz the birth certificate identifies Obama’s father’s race as “African.”
     Oh.
     In Taitz World, "African" is not a race. "Negro" is a race. How come the certificate doesn't say "negro," hmmmm?
     Evidently, the thesis that Prez Obama wasn't born in the U.S. is unfalsifiable. Nothing that is produced can be allowed to count against it.
     Among intelligent people, that means that it's bullshit.
