G. Gordon Liddy Says Obama Was Not Born In The US

The essential problem of the "birthers" is how they go about substantiating their claims.  First they start with the root of the problem - they do not want Obama as president.  Then they try to obfuscate that fact by creating a scenario in which it is not possible for him to be president.  They will then go about searching out information that will support that claim.  When any evidence emerges to the contrary, that's where they kind of come off the rails.  Anyone who disputes the claim is a liar, and any information that debunks their claims are lies.  Some go much further and create conspiracy theories and massive cover-up schemes.  But it all comes from the idea that they have created a "fact" and then look for ways to try and make it true.
