I know it's easy to make fun of this point of view, but they attract people because they do present what appear to be documents, and arguments etc.--hopefully the pending court case will settle the issue and make it much harder for them to get a foothold.
They allege both parents had to be US citizens for her child to qualify as a US citizen, for example--in any case, these are factual type assertions that anyone familiar with the law should be able to refute. Just calling them "crazy" doesn't really make it go away.

In other words, both parents do NOT have to be US born citizens.

That said, there is a difference between spouting and believing. I know some rabid paranormals who claim to be in on the secret ancient Indian divine light chakra chinese medicine healing accupuncture aura martinizing who jump to ER every time they have symptoms the least troubling.

Below is a little list of previous presidents with one or more furren parent. (And John McCain was born in the Panama Canal zone!) And yet no qualms about any of THOSE white guys.
(from voa.gov):
Andrew Jackson (1829-1837) is the only president born of two immigrants, both Irish. Presidents with one immigrant parent are Thomas Jefferson (1801-1809), whose mother was born in England, James Buchanan (1857-1861) and Chester Arthur (1881-1885), both of whom had Irish fathers, and Woodrow Wilson (1913-1921) and Herbert Hoover (1929-1933), whose mothers were born respectively in England and Canada.
... If Barry's parents hailed from England and Canada, this would be a NON-ISSUE.

He shot them all down decisively and definitely. That's why you don't hear much about Waco from wackos no more.
