No one will find, any kind of reference, in any post I have ever made, that even hints at racism.
Now...why do you bring it up...again?
That wasn't the question. Here, read it again:

Well, TG - what is it? Why are the conspiracy theorists focused so intently on this President's birth certificate when that's never been an issue for any other President? Why didn't they demand to see Bush's BC?
Just what is different about this President?
Face it, Mike's interpretation seems pretty damn logical in the face of this idiocy.
The question was - if your reason is not racism - what is it?
Austin, are you accusing me of cheating like James did?
I'm saying that I think a lot of people from another place have followed you here. They are such extremists that they got rid of every single moderate/liberal/independent thinker who was posting there, and then apparently got very bored posting to each other. You know you have a strong contingent of supporters there. And it seems they have followed the liberals/moderates/independents over to this board now, for whatever reason. My guess would be that they got very, very bored just talking to themselves! You have to admit that the extremist, confrontational "style" of their posts is almost like a trademark, Tg.
I don't understand how James cheated?? Seriously. I need you to explain that to me more clearly. As for you cheating, I think the "good ole boys" and the rosebuds have been lurking here on their own.......and popped in just in the nick of time. It's not you cheating. It's some of your "associates."

To my knowledge, no one from the other board even knows about this thread. You were the only one I mentioned it to.
As to the "extremist, confrontational "style" of their posts" I invite you to go to any thread of mine and look at my posts and then look at the posts of the believers and then come back and talk to me about "extremist, confrontational "style" of their posts". James is Acusing me of cheating and calling me kooter, these are examples of the kinds of post that you say are "extremist, confrontational style" . You won't find these kinds of posts from me.
I have 5 people on ignore right now because they are not interested in debating our views they just want to argue and use vitriol, racism, name calling, and anything else they think will aid in their attempts to denigrate, bemoan, slander, hate, etc.
I don't mind when someone attempts to show me where I have made a mistake in my thought process, Cali did a good job of that with Orly, but Cali also had to resort to saying some very disparaging things that were not necessary. Again, "extremist, confrontational style".
You and I were like that with each other a long time ago and finally realized the futility in it and I thought we were past it. I hope we are but I get the feeling that one of us is drifting. If I am wrong, forgive me.
As to James cheating, he posted to everyone that I would quit posting on the subject if the percentage did not rise above a certain level and then where to find that percentage. It brings in unnecessary variables that can cause the poll to be skewed. I made it a simple question with simple answers and that is all anyone needed to know. I did state that the poll was to find out what the interest level in Obama's eligibility was but, that was it. Surely you can see the problem with what James did. I never said anything about it though until, he accused me of cheating based on a new member voting my way. He also insinuated that I was AKA Kooter with no evidence whatsoever, again, "extremist, confrontational style" don't you think? He also did these things after starting a thread about how we should start respecting each other, I don't think he meant it.
I didn't say YOU were confrontational in your posts. I said that an extremist, confrontational style of posting was common at that "other place." You must admit that the far right which dominates that place are enormously confrontational, rude, constantly name-calling, and actually beyond extreme in their stated "beliefs".........
Someone else over there posted the address of this site, and it certainly seems to me that many have followed. That other place seems totally dead now. I would guess it would not be much fun for bullies and those prone to "temper fits" of verbal abuse and name calling to just have each other to repeat talking points to all the time. Those who "love roses" and some amazingly "extremist surfers" must be looking to find a fight somewhere else. However, I think on this board there are many very bright people who can easily point out the lack of credibility of their positions.
You are correct, Tg. You do not make those rude, name-calling, confrontational posts so common at that other place. And you continue to be polite on this board.
TRUEGRITT - I see you are still avoiding answering the question.

If your reason is not racism, what is it? And why did nobody ask for Bush's birth certificate?
