The anti-birther movement is more concerned about attacking birthers than ending the whole the issue. Legitimate questions should get answers. Are you into censorship too?
I've had a policy for some time, where any time I see "common sense" in an argument, I discount the entire thing.
It looks like I'm going to have to institute the same policy for the phrase "legitimate question". The same thing keeps coming up in "truther" arguments as well, and this will help me filter those as well.
ADDED:
Are you into censorship too?
You need to get a handle on what that word actually means. Deciding that something's silly, and that we'd all prefer to ignore it, has absolutely nothing to do with censorship.
...should get answers
You are functioning as the heckler in a "Heckler's Veto"[1]. By constantly insisting that your "legitimate questions" must be answered you interfere with the conduct of any other discourse.
If you want to attack or discredit Obama, thats fine. Just do it in a way that doesn't sound like a bunch of third graders arguing over someone having coodies. This inability to think critically is destroying America. We've become a nation of people that emulate the talking heads on t.v. that do nothing more than argue over each other until one gives up.
Of course that doesn't mean there's an illegitimate president. Never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity.
And there's certainly no shortage of stupidity on both sides.
