Barack Obama "has a false, fake birth certificate posted on their website." WorldNetDaily reported that a "WND investigation into Obama's birth certificate utilizing forgery experts ... found the document to be authentic."

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Good point. My wife and I decided to drop the landline at our place in the Berkshires. The only reason we keep LL in NY is that we have a "triple play," with phone, cable and internet bundled.
The next question might be, do techno-savvy older voters lean toward Obama?

WND: "The investigation also revealed methods used by some of the bloggers to determine the document was fake involved forgeries, in that a few bloggers added text and images to the certificate scan that weren't originally there."
That's a fabulous way to say that these bloggers falsified evidence to support the claims that they made up. This is the first time I've ever heard 'lying' described as a "method...used to determine" anything.

I hope Obama's supporters will make a BIG DEAL about this. Look how low the wingnuts will stoop to smear him. This should be embarassing to them. They should be called on it. Smearing should be shamefull.
Mccain should make a public statement distancing him from these attacks!
A real media should focus on what kind of country we are going to create to tackle the challenges of our future. Instead we get this vapid circus!

Jerome Corsi has always been a liar, and always will be.
This way he panders to his fan club, you know, the ones who just figured out they have opposable thumbs.
