Did he release his high school transcripts? He did release his birth certificate in 2008 though. People with eyes know he was telling the truth. ---

That could make for a good story, if you can put a new spin on it to get past the fact that [it’s been done at least once](http://www.fictiondb.com/author/ben-bova~the-multiple-man~56032~b.htm) already. ---

> [@Meyer6](#): > > What a bizarre claim. What possible use could Obama have had for 23 SSNs? I mean, I get why the birthers wish that they could find some technicality that would oust him from the white house. It’s crazy and stupid and completely without merit, but at least I can see the outcome they’re going for. What could they possibly be getting at with this SSN stuff? The more shit they can throw, the more hope that some of it will stick somehow. In particular, trying to obscure Obama’s documented record in general enforces the crackpot meme that “nobody knows where this guy _really_ came from”. ---

> [@Champion-of-Truth](#): > > most Scientologists are liberals Um, no. Scientologists are totally apolitical. Liberal or conservative doesn’t matter to them, because Scientology is the only thing that makes any difference. They are out to “clear the planet”, meaning we are all to either join their happy fun cult, or be “put down quietly, without sorrow”. Once we are all Scientologists, the world will run on Hubbard’s methods and procedures, and the crazy old blowhard had a procedure for everything. Partisan politics will be, simply, obsolete. ---

Any more on Beck killing that woman? Faux News is ignoring it, but I don’t think it’s going to go away. Also, has Glen released his DNA records yet to show that he is not reptilian? I’m not saying he is, I’m just asking questions. ---

Beck also refuses to comment on having a cell phone removed from his rectum in 2003. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/would-producing-a-birth-certificate-do-any-good/571117.md?page=19)
