Some say you can never really be certain about anything! If they are right, how can they be so sure of that?

I thought of that as I was listening to a couple of Birthers being interviewed today. Jerome Corsi of “Swift Boat Veterans” fame and the Arizona Senator that wrote the Arizona Birther Bill were hemming and hawing about the authenticity of the long form birth certificate that Hawaii sent today on a special exemption to state law, which requires that the Certificate of Live Birth be the document of record they release for identification purposes.

When asked if they accept this doccument of proof, they both tried to tap-dance and dog whistle around the question. But the interviewer wouldn’t let them, and so they finally fell back on the old saw, “You can never be sure of anything”

What puzzled me is that they both seemed absolutely sure you can’t be sure of anything. Isn’t that a self contradiction? It seems about as absurd as the statement, “I always lie.” or the piece of paper with the words “The statement on the other side of this paper is true.” on one side and “The statement on the other side of this paper is false.” on the other.

What do you think. Legitimate questions, or are they just continuing to blow that old white-supremacist dog whistle for their admiring fans?
