I used hyperbole for exaggerated effect. Not quite the same thing. And I have no idea who Alinsky is, and I don't really care. I suspect that is an attempt to discredit what I say as not even being my opinion, but rather a copy-cat version of some liberal talking head. > > In this particular case, there are relatively few facts behind the > > "Birther's" claims, all of which have been refuted by multiple sources, > both > > in the media and by the Government of Hawaii.

If there were any real evidence that Obama had not been born in Hawaii, the Republican party would have been all over it, and the Supreme Court--the slightly right-leaning Supreme Court--would have heard one of the many, many cases brought before it. That neither of those happened is enough evidence that there is no actual evidence to support the position of the "Birthers." > Those that continue to believe in the whole "Birther" conspiracy are made > to > > look the fool now because they are fools.

Oh yeah, I'm an extreme lefty. Sure. This extreme lefty supports conceal and/or open carry laws and is against gun control. But I'm still an extreme lefty.

I guess if your > going to be proud of something be proud of whatever you got ;) It was my overly-simplified view of what politics is these days.
