How am I putting words in your mouth? You implied Obama never provided his birth certificate. Your exact words, which I even quoted in my post:

The whole hub-bub could have been avoided by simply providing the birth certificate.
He implied that Obama never provided his birth certificate until 2011 (or whenever it was), not as part of a conspiracy theory, but saying that it could've been handled better by releasing it earlier. It was pointed out that it was released earlier, and Ravyne admitted that he wasn't aware of that. Or, at least that's how I interpret this sentence:
Quote
I couldn't have told you whether it was ever actually provided or not, but...
Meaning, he didn't know whether it was actually provided (earlier than 2011 or whenever) or not, but that specific conspiracy theory wasn't the point he was trying to make, nor did he believe Obama was not a citizen, and that it was just an example.
Yes. Thank you.

They're also big on the "vaccines cause mental retardation" thing.
So is FOX 
They belong in the same category as InfoWars. Seriously, everyone I know in treats FOX as comedy.
But as long as they continue to fit the legal definition of 'journalists', then they should be treated as such.

So let me get this straight. He tried to argue a case that he was completely unqualified to comment on due to deliberate attempts to remain ignorant on the topic, thus repeating an accusation that is utterly disconnected with reality, all in an attempt to show that we should treat all members of the media equally despite previous evidence regarding lack of professionalism? And despite this deliberate, self inflicted ignorance on the topic, he still finds it insulting that someone regards it as thoroughly irrational that he would say that the president should show his birth certificate despite having done so multiple times, with multiple independent sources verifying the release?Meaning, he didn't know whether it was actually provided (earlier than 2011 or whenever) or not, but that specific conspiracy theory wasn't the point he was trying to make, nor did he believe Obama was not a citizen, and that it was just an example.
Sorry, but if you repeat lunatic accusations out of ignorance rather than belief, you still have no legitimate complaint about people telling you that you sound like a lunatic. And trying to treat a question that even the lunatics have given up on as legitimate is not an effective argument for treating unprofessional members of the press as equal to the professional members. If anything, it's a potent demonstration of why we should hold the media to professional standards.

As fun as this argument is I think a more important point here is that the Czech Republic embassy had to issue a statement explaining they aren't Chechnya.
O really? Can they provide a birth certificate to prove it?

My first three results from fox news on vaccines all state there is no risk. I'd like some proof of your claim that Fox endorses this position. Thanks in advance :)

The show of force was a bit excessive, yes.
You got local, state, and federal departments all in one spot, all armed for war.
Just to capture a 19 year-old nutcase with a shotgun.
Just how many trucks of tatical army men do you need to get this weeny guy?
Unless you're a dictator of a country, I don't see how one person can start a war with an entire country, but apparently, this guy has done just that. Pretty crazy or pretty sad, depending on how you look at it.
