Quote from hughb:
I had been totally ignoring threads about Obama's citizenship. I had thought that once it was proven that Obama was born in Hawaii the discussion would stop. It hasn't. These conspiracy wackos refuse to beleive the birth certificate is real. I haven't heard what wacky conspiracy theory these idiots have come up with to debunk Obama's birth announcement in the local newspaper, and I reallly don't care to hear it.
I really don't know what it is that drives these wackos. When you get right down to it, they must somehow believe they are appearing "smart".
Conspiracy theorists believe that any evidence debunking the conspiracy is part of the plot and is therefore proof of the conspiracy.
There is no reasoning with such people.
Reason is a foreign language they simply cannot understand. It is best to ignore them; without the attention, they'll go away.
