Joe Arpaio says Obama's birth certificate forged

Your logic is a bit off. I'm not a birther and think Obama was born at the time, date, place state on his birth certificate, but by your reasoning, if the State of Hawaii states it's the real birth certificate, it has to be the real birth certificate. The State of Hawaii could state my kids' drawings are the birth certificate, but it wouldn't mean it's true.

A document can be authentic because it is authentic, and not because what some official says.

 

If they produced it, how could it not be authentic? If you gave me a $20 bill and I had my doubts about whether or not it was counterfeit. I might call the U.S. Treasury, go to its offices and show them the bill. If they said it's real, it's real.
The issuing agency cannot forge its own documents.

 

This is a great point, M-Gee.

I've visited Arizona many times and roll my eyes to hear people who moved there in, say, 1998 talk like they're natives. I'm sure the folks living on the reservation land love to hear their commentary.

 

No, but they love to hear the sound of their money hitting the slot machines.

 

Well, it's not quite the Onion, but...

 

Вы думаете, мы что, шутишь? Мы не шутим.

 

That line alone is comedy gold.

 

I think it would have been better if was some propaganda piece written by a Russian. Instead, it looks like they just gave some American loon a platform to get her crazy ides out.

And, A Russian might actually think Sheriff Joe is a serious law man. An American should know better.

 

Since Obama was elected president, the line, "An American should know better" no longer applies to anything.

 

Jesus, I clicked for this?

 

One day you'll learn to recognize greatness.

 

This kind of reporting infuriates me. No explanation of who the lead investigator is and what credentials he has to declare the birth certificate false. No balance. And how in the world do you report this without mentioning that Arpaio has been under federal investigation? If this is what passes for credible television journalism today, we're sunk.
