Obama 'Kenya' Lit Booklet Raises Question MSM Will Refuse to Ask
Breitbart ^ | MAY 17, 2012 | John Nolte

Posted on 05/18/2012 4:16:16 AM PDT by RobinMasters

Never once have I doubted that President Obama was born in Hawaii. There's no way in the world that little constitutional issue would ever have got past the Clintons during the 2008 Democratic primary. Now that we're clear on that...

The exclusive story published by Breitbart News today about a 1991 booklet released by Obama's literary agent that falsely claims the President was born in Kenya, is about many things NOT having to do with where our President was born. And one of those things is the abject failure of the mainstream media to vet properly the man they so desperately wanted to be president.

Breitbart News is a scrappy, upstart organization less than four years old, and the fact that this is our exclusive is great for us. However, more importantly, it is a condemnation of a media that most certainly had the resources to find this story...had they wanted to. And who knows, maybe someone in the media did come across it but chose to cover it up.

The booklet in question that falsely states the President of the United States was born in Kenya is only 21 years old. It's less than half as young as the now-discredited story that ran in The Washington Post last week about Mitt Romney's supposed bullying as a teenager in high school.

Boy they sure don’t seem to have the real Breitbart spirit.

Probably afraid of Chicago thugs.


Makes you wonder if they know or suspect something about Mr. Breitbart’s final moments.

Repetition of “not born in Kenya” is becoming the brier-patch meme. ;~)
Hopefully as information continues to be released it will become the punch line of a bad joke! (If it's not already)

There are probably a dozen articles out there stating the same thing. (All before 2007) If you run across any, please send them to Breitbart's tip tab on the right hand side of their front page. They needs to be able to show this is not an isolated editorial error.

Did Harvard accept him into school as a foreign student? If so, then he lied on his application, and what does that do to his degree?
This may very well be why he won’t release his school records, becasue they would reveal that he lied about being a foreign student.

“And who knows,maybe someone in the media did come across it but chose to cover it up.”

Well,duh!
That’s the whole point of this!
The left has forced us to live in their fantasy world!

How many times does Breitbart have to say “falsely states Obama born in Kenya?”

Exactly. Why bother to run with the story at all?

Wait a minute, all the other candidates have released their college transcripts, why hasn't he? Why hasn't the media harranged him on this as they would a conservative?

But just as I'm willing to bet that not a single member of the elite media is currently staking out the University of Chicago Medical Center where Eric Whitaker works (the man Rev. Jeremiah Wright claims tried to bribe him to be quiet on behalf of the Obama campaign), I'm just as sure the corrupt media will do everything in its power to wish this story away, as well.

Wish away, shills. New Media is here and we've only just begun to do your job for you. Your failure and your corruption is our mother's milk.

It feeds, sustains, encourages, and drives us--and we are just getting started.

The above is true and is reason for rejoicing: the evil propaganda machine that the mainstream media has become has been exposed.

See twenty three. There are at least a dozen articles (maybe more...They are not ALL editorial errors that BO neglected to correct.)
If each time Breitbart releases one he states “falsely states...” it will become a joke. If you run across any (I found one in Africa and one in Indonesia) send them to the Breitbart tip tab.....The more the merrier.

Remember the “old” rules?

1. First time is happenstance.

2. Second time is coincidence.

3. Third time is enemy action.

Haven’t seen any mention of this, but in 2004 the AP reported the following concerning the Illinois Senate race:

Kenyan-born US Senate hopeful, Barrack Obama, appeared set to take over the Illinois Senate seat after his main rival, Jack Ryan, dropped out of the race on Friday night amid a furor over lurid sex club allegations.

I just don’t buy that the opening sentence of a bio put out for publishing gets his home country wrong. His bio was published in the booklet along with other prominent people. None of their bios open with what country they were born in. It’s all about their resume and accomplishments. This was no error - IMHO.

Of course it is no error (on the part of the publicist). They print the information they are given. Someone posted direct quotes from the site of the creator of the pamphlet stating to include biographical information with your submission....

Contact all “R” legislators and give them the head ups: There are MANY more articles dated pre 2007 stating the same thing.

As I’ve been saying “He either lied then or he is lying now.” Let’s see his school/college records.

According to a small amount of research I just did, the only candidate in this election cycle who released their college transcript is Rick Perry. It didn't help his candidacy.

Why hasn't the media harranged him on this as they would a conservative?

Conservative media has been haranguing Obama about his transcript, but I haven't heard anything about demands for the transcripts of Romney, Gingrich, Bachmann, Herman Cain, Ron Paul, etc. If Romney did release his college transcripts, perhaps that would put pressure on Obama to do the same.

WHERE Obama was born is a distraction to the FACT that since both parents SHALL be US citizens at the time of Obamas birth fails, if this “born in Kenya” is also TRUE that is count number two against eligibility to be president. Obamas father was a British citizen in the British colony (at that time), which later became Kenya.

Only those who made up their minds without facts could embrace this viewpoint.

When an author writes “The booklet in question that falsely states the President of the United States was born in Kenya”, he loses my trust. He has no idea if it’s false or not.

It’s like when the mainstream press reported that people in an OPPINION poll answered “incorrectly”. How the hell can an oppinion be incorrect?
