Federal Judge Carter sets trial date for Obama's eligibility

I was sent a blog on this. Is this true or complete hogwash?

My first, second and third guesses were that this is bogus. A quick search will find several blogs repeating the story...but snopes.com: Judge Carter Orders Obama to Prove Eligibility SNOPES says it's false and bogus.

Calyc...cheap shot. Did you consider that the corrective post #2 might have been from a GOP voter?

With help from friends I found the following:

AARP Online Community: Politics - Current Events - Fed. Judge Carter sets Trial Date for Obama's Eligibility

and:

The dates say a lot. The AARP article was done in September. The dismissal happened 10/29/09.

well i,d say its complete hogwash; being as we have an official birth certificate; and also a newspaper article in the archives from hawaii anouncing his birth.:)

Bah. When were newspapers ever right?

Snopes was working with faulty information. It was Judge Crater, not Carter, that set the trial date.

Here is a link for those who cannot remember back as far as Pam. Joseph Force Crater - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It's hard to believe people are still pushing that theory! *sigh*

Meh. We can't tar all conservatives with the same brush. Orly Taitz doesn't represent all Conservates. In fact, given that she asked for support for her motion as per:

Orly Taitz Lawsuit Thrown Out By California Judge

and only 40-100 people contacted the Judge, I think it's safe to say that only the craziest of the crazy still believe this theory.

There are enough real reasons to disagree with Obama, now, for the average rabid conservative. They don't need made-up reasons any longer, so most are content to use those.
