Not all opinions are created equal. Not every opinion should be respected as legitimate just because there is a group of people that believes it.

That's the problem. Not that you seem to think I don't know what an opinion is, or that you're entitled to one just like I am. The problem is that opinions are not necessarily equal just because someone says "well that's my opinion."

I say grass is green. If you tell me it's not, and that it's your opinion, that doesn't make your opinion legitimate. It is, obviously, still the opinion that you're certainly entitled to, but it's still ridiculous and laughable and absurd and should not be treated as anything less than such just because you're hiding behind the tired old "well that's your opinion, and this is mine, which I'm entitled to" routine.

And that's how we've ended up here. You're entitled to be a crazy birther, but you shouldn't expect to get treated like anything other than a crazy birther, as much as you seem to keep acting as though this is something along the lines of investigative journalism (certainly what WND is known for: objective investigative journalism!!1!!!!11!), rather than crackpot crazy conspiracy theory. If the shoe fits, wear it.

I agree with you 100% that not all opinions are equal.

You misunderstood what I said. When I said that plenty of people would disagree with you, I was not talking about birthers disagreeing with you about where Obama was born. I was disagreeing with your assumption that everyone thinks that anyone who questions Obama's birthplace is a "raving lunatic".
