It would be better, imho, if we would just point to _our_ posts which aged badly. Bringing up a SA gem from 2012 is easy, possibly _too_ low-hanging, but my October 2008 mocking dismissal of birtherism is something I can own without dragging someone else into the fray: > [@How would Obama, if elected President, tear this country apart?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-would-obama-if-elected-president-tear-this-country-apart/467802/28): > > According to my stepmother, Obama is part of a “sleeper cell” of moslem agents who were inserted in the US during the 60’s with the intent of overthrowing the American Way of Life. No shiite. However, it’s going to be OK because more and more people are coming to realize that, get this, Obama isn’t even a US citizen. Apparently his birth certificate was faked and Obama is actually a citizen of the fine country of Kenya. smiley --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/posts-that-aged-poorly/1029503)._
