Blogger admits Hawaii birth certificate forgery, subverting Obama claims (Uh-oh)

Israel Insider ^ | 3 July 2008 | Reuven Koret

Jay McKinnon, a self-described Department of Homeland Security-trained document specialist, has implicated himself in the production of fraudulent Hawaii birth certificate images similar to the one endorsed as genuine by the Barack Obama campaign, and appearing on the same blog entry where the supposedly authentic document appears.

The evidence of forgery and manipulation of images of official documents, triggered by Israel Insider's revelation of the collection of Hawaii birth certificate images on the Photobucket site and the detective work of independent investigative journalists and imaging professionals in the three weeks since the publication of the images, implicate the Daily Kos, an extreme left blog site, and the Obama campaign, in misleading the public with official-looking but manipulated document images of doubtful provenance.

The perceived unreliability of the image has provoked petitions and widespread demands for Obama to submit for objective inspection the paper versions of the "birth certificate" he claimed in his book Dreams from My Father was in his possession, as well as the paper version of the Certificate of Live Birth for which the image on the Daily Kos and the Obama "Fight the Smears" website was supposedly generated.

Without a valid birth certificate, Obama cannot prove he fulfills the "natural born citizen" requirement of the Constitution, throwing into doubt his eligibility to run for President.

McKinnon, who says he is 25-30 years old, operates a website called OpenDNA.com and uses the OpenDNA screen name on various web sites and blogs, including his comments and diary on The Daily Kos. In recent years he has divided his time between Long Beach, California and Vancouver, British Columbia. He is a Democratic political activist, frequent contributor to the left wing Daily Kos blog, and a fervent Barack Obama supporter.

Will the FEC or anyone ask to see the shipping receipts for $29,000 of tee shirts sent to Gaza from Obama? There has got to be a written trail.

Additionally, several of the donations from the Edwans were recategorized utilizing "reattribution" and "redesignation", now that would have to be a manual process identifying the particular receipt. SO, the campaign knew about this money and made the decision to hold on to it.

Rush just hinted at Clinton’s remarks re: Qualifications for President.

However, it does mean that this is becoming an large pachyderm in the breezeway.

Great minds... ;)

Dang! I was on the ‘phone and missed it.

Miss Didi.... ;-)

Nully, do you have 24/7?

I meant to add that with Slick Willie, anything’s possible. I don’t think your interpretation has NO merit: I’d give it perhaps 20% odds of being true. But I also freely concede that my interpretation of the clip was based predominantly on the clip itself and without consideration of the “tagteam” aspects of what has been said by HRC and WJC. It certainly will be interesting to see how everything plays out.

No ma’am.

You don’t have to be a 24/7er to read the show transcripts...they are up around 6 p.m. daily. ;)

It doesn't matter where Obama was born. If his mother was a US citizen, then he is.

You are correct, but I do have some questions.

If the KOS published birth certificate is fake (as appears to be virtually certain at this point), why would the Obama campaign push it as a valid document? Why take the chance? Why not either keep quiet or publish a scan of the real document?

I believe exposing this as fake is largely being driven by the Clinton camp, hoping that Hillary can snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. We should be keeping our ammo dry until after the rat convention when it should be too late for the rats to abandon Obama's sinking ship.

You both (calpernia and bvw) correctly wrote that we don't know how obama got his US passport.

I ask simply because knowing that he used a BC as most Americans do would put an end to this line of idle speculation just as knowing that he had to use some other proof (such as naturalization docs) would strengthen the case.

It would seem that just asking the most obvious question makes some freepers nervous (not calpernia and bvw).

Grampa dave thinks I have an ulterior motive in asking, even though he says that he has asked the same question. What was your motive dave?

Null says that my posting history proves I'm a liberal. I ask him to prove it with my own words....he can start right after he kisses my Royal Irish Ass.

You can read it after 6pm.

Thanks Miss Didi.

You can also try on the Rush Live Thread...lots of members there.

Oh, Sorry.

I have 24/7, and I didn’t know they put the transcript up on the free side every day.

If Rush makes it available to everyone, the Drive-bys have no excuse for misquoting him like they do.

Dog Gone ~ It doesn't matter where Obama was born. If his mother was a US citizen, then he is.

6ppc ~ You are correct, but I do have some questions.

Actually no. He is not a US citizen if his mother was married to a Kenyan, and he was born in his Kenya.

That would make him a Kenyan, by birth.

Do you really think the US has infinite rights to all your decedents?

[null and void]

Right. You seriously expect me to devote the next few weeks re-reading all your posts since day one to find the one that so astonished me because it was in such conflict with who I thought your screen name would indicate that you are?

That is why it stuck so firmly in my mind.

Frankly, I have far better thing to do with my time than proving who you are to you. I figure you already know, anyway.
