Good find SM.
I’d love to see some more background on this article.
Was there a newsprint version?
Good one, Sven! It’s only a matter of time before FreeRepublic has this fraud’s scalp on its lodge pole. The problem to date has been, his hair is only about 3/8 of an inch long so there isn’t much purchase ...
As the first conservative said, `You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time. (Or those Freepers any time. Except for a handful of their resident horses-a$$e$. That reminds me, fire McClellan and hire Grant. Then bring me a Danish.)”
If you go to the Sunday Standard/East African Standard/The Standard web site and search the archives, and then click on read more under -News Headlines- there are ads sponsered by Google that say, “Where was Obama Born?
The President was Born in Hawaii. Don’t Believe the Lies. Learn More! That takes you to a page showing his COLB. What the hell is going on. Every archive page has this link, sometimes twice.
I remember how on DailyKos in 2004 what a big deal was being made of BO then. They did make a big deal of his Kenyan heritage but I don’t recall with precision whether they mentioned a Kenyan birth, but they might have mentioned it in passing. I wish I’d been paying closer attention.
What I did remember from reading the Kos articles, though, is how they were attempting to fervently whip up this nobody, who’d accomplished nothing, into a big important person.

The black senator who could challenge Hillary

A BLACK senator with only two years in office has emerged as the star of the Democrats' campaign for next month's mid-term elections.
Kenyan-born Barack Obama, 45, is already being touted as a challenger to Hillary Clinton for the party's presidential nomination.
Another scenario sees him as Mrs Clinton's running mate, raising the possibility of a first female president and first black vice-president in 2008.
Mr Obama is disproving the adage that Washington is "Hollywood for ugly people''.
He is the Denzil Washington of Capitol Hill, bringing glamour to the staid hallways of the Senate. This week, he was given the ultimate glamour accolade: the front cover of Men's Vogue.
Accompanied by pictures taken by Annie Liebowitz, photographer to the great and glamorous, the magazine's article is headlined Barack Obama: The Path to Power.
Mr Obama has been careful not to rule himself out of the presidential race and has been tagged for greatness since he delivered the best speech at the Democratic convention in Boston two years ago.
"What gives people a jolt in their gut about the idea of President Obama is that it would be a ringing symbol that racism no longer rules our land,'' argues John McWhorter, a leading black intellectual.
Mr Obama, a civil rights lawyer, was the first black editor of the Harvard Law Review. Some observers say he possesses charisma on a par with Mrs Clinton's husband Bill, the last Democrat president.
He was elected as a senator for Illinois in 2004 by a landslide.
He grew up in Indonesia and Hawaii, the son of a white woman from Kansas and a black man from Kenya, and promises the prospect of national reconciliation on racial issues.
The prospect of an Obama candidacy is especially appealing to those Democrats desperately searching for an alternative to Mrs Clinton, the front-runner to win her party's presidential nomination.

March 23, 2006 Thursday Kenyan-born US senator "exploring ways" of helping home province
LENGTH: 137 words
Text of report by Kenyan newspaper The Standard website on 23 March
Illinois Senator Barrack Obama is exploring ways of using his influence in the US to increase funding for various projects he sponsors in Nyanza Province.
Obama's foreign policy adviser, Mark Lippert, who toured some of the projects sponsored through Care International, said the senator was particularly keen on the welfare of people in Siaya, where his father hailed from.
Lippert disclosed that he had been sent by Obama on a fact finding mission on the success and impact of US sponsored HIV/AIDS programmes and other development projects in the area.
"I will let him know how funds from the American government are being spent on a range of projects that he has been having interest in," he added.

It’s a Kenya paper but it’s hosted in the United States http://www.eastandard.net/ Ip number 74.63.45.7
Question to all.....Is it a possibility that when a Kenyan paper says “Kenyan born” its actually meaning is more like “of Kenyan heritage?”
I hope not, but I thought I should mention that.

Many need to do a PDF on this—it could very well be scrubbed from internet....
Excellent.
