Obama faces new court appeal over claims birth certificate is 'doctored or fake'
Leaders of the so-called 'birther' movement have claimed that the birth certificate produced by Barack Obama is a fake.

Despite the president providing the the full long-form document last week, the 'birthers' - fronted by Donald Trump - have taken their case to a federal appeals court in Southern California.

They claim the birth certificate had been doctored; that the document's serial number was out of sequence, the typing wasn't aligned, and it was printed on green paper instead of white paper like other Hawaiian birth records of that era.

1. They loose everytime they take something to court
But it would be nice if we started taking them to task for filing frivolous lawsuits and unnecessarily spending taxpayer money on their nonsense.

21. It's 'lose'. Not 'loose'.
Sorry, pet peeve. And I held back the first time I saw it in one of your other posts today. Don't mean to pick on you. I wonder why so many people have trouble with that word? I have trouble with 'remember'. Comes out 'remeber'.

2. I'm still too unfamiliar with British newspapers to remember which ones are the Tabloids
I'm guessing The Daily Mail is one? I won't even go into how that second sentence is completely misleading.

4. What is the basis for their "case" as it was released voluntarily?
It is not part of a court proceeding so I don't see what their beef is.

If Obama had released a picture of himself could they sue because they thought it was photoshopped?

I don't think so.

7. This is the Oily Taitz appeal...
There are other threads that have been posted on this the past few days, but no, I do not believe Donald Trump is involved with her suit... I think this loosely describes his association with the Birther "theories."

11. I am sure their next claim will be...
The certificate was not on parchment, Sheepskin, or etched on stone tablets. What do they expect to see happen? Obama run out of town on a rail? These people are just another form of haters..

16. Virtually every birth and death record I have obtained from various states
over the years doing genealogy research has been printed on PINK TAMPER-EVIDENT paper just like or similar to Obama's on GREEN TAMPER-EVIDENT paper. That is why those short fat lines of color are there. So you can't easily erase and fake them.

Morans.

legal fees!

24. The leaders are racists and blazing morons.
I've seen the signs, heard the cries, seen the tweets and facebook pages when they thought no one was watching.

They never screamed to see McCain's Birth certificate, he weren't born in USA neither. ;)
