Native and Natural Born Citizenship Explored (Re-opened for limited business)

David Weigel at the Washington Post Independent discusses a hoax which fooled Rush. It all started when a blogger posted that Obama College Thesis: ‘Constitution is Inherently Flawed’ . Michael Ledeen jumped into the fray and had soon to apologize.

Obama’s ‘thesis’ included the following

“… the Constitution allows for many things, but what it does not allow is the most revealing. The so-called Founders did not allow for economic freedom. While political freedom is supposedly a cornerstone of the document, the distribution of wealth is not even mentioned. While many believed that the new Constitution gave them liberty, it instead fitted them with the shackles of hypocrisy.”

Rush Limbaugh, reported on this and although he found out about the hoax during the show, he was not very forthcoming with an apology. Instead, he ‘argued’ that

[H]e got me, and lots of others. It worked because it’s plausible.

Media Matters exposes Limbaugh’s ‘reasoning’: Whining that the media misquoted Limbaugh and that since the media responded that ‘this is how Limbaugh thinks it’, thus Limbaugh feels free to repeat the same logical fallacy in his own arguments. A wonderful denial of responsibility and accountability.

The gullibility of those who oppose Obama is to be expected, their unwillingness to admit to myths and hoaxes is worrisome.

Some are not taking well the news that Al Franken was ruled to be the winner of the 2008 Senate Elections, causing the Democrats to reach the magic ‘60 votes’ needed to overcome Senate filibusters.

Adding another homosexual to the roster, Al Franken now serves Obama in the Senate creating a “fullproof” voting panel for the passage of any new bills. Coleman initially won – 4 times, but after the last recount, Franken magically pulled the new numbers out of no where with support from the Minnesota Supreme Court. The shadow government strikes again, as it did with Jimmy Carter’s administration. The same game plan, but with more radical members and many of the previous members from the Carter and Clinton administrations.

Did Repubx really confuse Al Franken’s role on Saturday Night Live with his actual sexual preferences? Surely Al Franken’s wife would be surprised to hear this.

A posting on repubx.com alerted me to the following revelation that many of the pictures of Obama and even of his birth certificate contained the string “DUCKY”. Rather than doing a simple Google search, DefendUSX decided, in true Nobama fashion, to conclude some ‘conspiracy namely that “”Ducky” ties the images to the same single source. ” He is right for the wrong reasons. Ducky is the name of the Adobe tool used to create the file. There is even an Easter Egg

Thanks to Rhonda Parsons who has a BA in graphics and her finding some images across the Internet from Obama’s high school days in Hawaii.

I was looking for evidence of image forgery, and to my surprise saw the name ‘Ducky’ appeared in each image reviewed. I remember seeing ‘Ducky’ on Obama’s Certificate of Live Birth image from his Fight the Smears website way back in August.

This proves that ‘Ducky’ has forged or changed every one of these images, in one form or another, as an effort to present something likely false by using a Professional image editing software  (Photoshop) to make changes.

Reality is that the headers of JPEG files created by Adobe Photoshop contain three tags, JFIF, Adobe and Ducky meaning that the file was created by an Adobe program called Ducky

A few weeks ago we mentioned that the headers of JPEG images created by Adobe’s Photoshop image editor contain three tags – JFIF, Adobe and Ducky – indicating the file is in JPEG File Interchange Format and produced by an Adobe program called Ducky.

We asked if anyone knew why Ducky should be the program’s ID. Reader Bill Verzal suggested we go to a certain page on Adobe’s Web site for some details.

This page tells us the reason for this eccentricity is that developers have a rubber ducky obsession. If you have Photoshop, check out the page and try the Easter eggs – it is obvious that those coders were clinically obsessed.

What a bunch of ‘geniuses’ these Birthers… Birds of a feather do seem to flock together :-)
