LOU DOBBS' SHODDY FACT CHECKING TO COST SILVER SMUGGLER $100,000!

A presumptuous little nothing named "Jason Hommel" has offered $100,000 for proof that President Obama is a citizen of the United States, and I'm going to make him pay up. Isn't it funny that he begins his grandstanding with a disclaimer? That speaks volumes, and almost says enough by itself, but the essence of his offer should be cited here for readers who don't want to get their computers dirty visiting his silver smuggling website.

Copies or links to the previously released, Hawaiian "Certification of Live Birth", which is NOT a valid Birth Certificate, does not constitute valid proof to claim the reward.

I, Jason Hommel, promise that I will give $100,000 to the first person who can prove to my satisfaction that Barack Obama, acting as president of the United States, is a "natural born" citizen of the USA, which is a qualification to hold the office as indicated in the U.S. Constitution.

$100,000 mistake, Jason! As a matter of fact, that is a valid Birth Certificate, as anybody can see from the text printed along the bottom of it.

"This copy serves as prima facie evidence of the fact of birth in any court proceeding."

The key word there, Jason, is "any."

Jason Hommel,
You have made a public offer, the terms of which I have publicly satisfied, and the birth certificate shown here is "prima facie evidence" in any court proceeding -- including suit for fraud if that becomes necessary -- of the fact which you claimed was in question, and which you offered $100,000 to prove. I have shown that it is already proven, your "satisfaction" be damned! And I hereby serve you notice that your offer of $100,000 is due. Pay up $100,000 now, or pay me $100,000 plus attorney fees a little later.


Finally, Jason, about calling you a silver smuggler, I originally found this prize advertised on the fascist hate site world net daily. And the reason I assumed you must be a "silver smuggler" is that world net daily awkwardly described you as someone "who runs a silver business and offers stock investment advice" and I figured a reporter would only phrase statements of facts so vaguely to protect a source whose activities are illegal. But I admit I have no proof of that. I did not consider, when I reached that conclusion, the very real possibilities that world net daily just has lousy writers, nor that perhaps even they are ashamed to be linked to a person whose business is those cheesy commemorative "coins" which cannot be spent because they are not legal tender, and therefore not really coins at all, but just disk-shaped trash in the shape of coins.

But under the circumstances, I would be remiss if I did not also mention that I have not seen any document positively establishing that you are not a silver smuggler. Do you have a "long form" to that effect?
