I see that even our own Tim Murphy has fallen for the White House’s “long form birth certificate” scam this morning. How disappointing to see one of MoJo’s own being so credulous. This “official” copy has obviously been doctored, as anyone can see clearly by looking at the bottom of the form. See line 23? “Evidence for Delayed Filing or Alteration”? If this were a true copy, it would carry an official stamp saying “None” to indicate that it hadn’t been altered. But obviously the form has been altered, to remove the official evidence of alteration. This story is far from over, my friends. Far from over.
UPDATE: A reader emails to point out that Fox News is taking an appropriately skeptical stance about all this. Kudos to them. I’m glad there’s at least one news organization left that doesn’t just accept White House agitprop at face value.
UPDATE 2: From commenter dennisS:
You call that a long form?! It’s not even 8.5 x 11 !! I want the reeeeeallllly loooong form!!
The rest of the comments are good too!
