i'll say it again. no evidence will ever convince a birther. none.

in the meantime, i'm sure the white house finds it useful to have seriously deluded people on the outskirts of tea party events. nothing beats a picture of the guy in a tin foil hat throwing his arms around your opponent.

I think that's pretty silly to say that nothing will convince any of the "birthers". I agree with you that are a few die-hard birthers that will never be convinced. But I think the majority of birthers only became birthers because Obama has gone to such great lengths to make sure his certificate is not released.

I'm not a big conspiracy guy but the whole thing has even made me suspicious. When this whole story first started, I figured Obama would release the certificate and prove that the allegations of him being born in Kenya were nonsense. But even after people started suing, he still refused to release it. That would even make a rational person a little suspicious.
