From Beckwith's homepage...

Obama told a Selma audience how he had been conceived by his parents because they had been inspired by the fervor following the "Bloody Sunday" voting rights demonstration in Selma, Alabama. "There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama," he said. "Because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born. So don't tell me I don't have a claim on Selma, Alabama. Don't tell me I'm not coming home to Selma, Alabama."

Small detail -- Obama was born in 1961 -- the Selma march occurred in 1965 -- four years later -- oops!

These gaffes don’t matter, because Obama is liberal. Liberals are not held to the same standards as conservatives are.

On the other hand, if you are conservative, and misspell “potato”, or don’t know offhand who the prime minister of Nepal is, such gaffes are remembered and magnified by the liberals and the MSM.

So they got excited and made whoopee because of some white cops beating black marchers.....FOUR YEARS LATER! It’s amazing how much “ammo” he and his worshippers put out. I don’t know if he’s that stupid or he’s rubbing our noses in it.
