We Are All Birthers Now (Part One)
Weekend Libertarian ^ | 14 April, 2011 | B.P. Terpstra

For the record, I don’t believe Obama was born in Kenya. And if WND is trying to convince me that middleclass white atheists like giving birth in foreign mud huts, good luck. Some are too posh to push in first-world hospitals!

That said it’s rich of the media to rail against conspiracy theories now (especially when they were creating and/or disseminating conspiracy theories throughout the Bush years with a psychotic vengeance). Journalists have no moral authority – no authority to sniff, no authority to preach, no authority to rewrite history.

Yes, puzzlingly, playing birth certificate politics is acceptable when the player is trying to defeat a member of the Bush family.

Take the 1978 Republican primary in Texas’s 19th congressional district. Or as George W. Bush writes in Decision Points (page 39): “Four days before the election, Reese produced a copy of my birth certificate to prove I had been born back east. How was I supposed to counter that? I responded with a line Dad had once used: ‘No, I wasn’t born in Texas, because I wanted to be close to my mother that day.’”

Alas, the media couldn’t fake tears for Bush.

John McCain

Also flushed down the media’s memory drain is case 2: The Case of John McCain.

Under the mischief-making headline, “McCain’s Canal Zone Birth Prompts Queries About Whether That Rules Him Out” ace investigator Carl Hulse, raised the natural born-citizen question.

For the New York Times scribe, the issue couldn’t be swept under the carpet. Indeed, the “question has nagged at the parents of Americans born outside the continental United States for generations” claimed Hulse, without poll evidence.

But in the era of feminism/romanticism they do. ...story of an English girl.

“middleclass white atheists like giving birth in foreign mud huts”

obama was born in a modern British built hospital in Mombasa kenya.

The hospital had a plaque on the outside wall proclaiming obama was born there , but it was taken down by government officials when the Natural born citizen issue arosed.

That's the first I've heard of that one! I've seen some of the supposed signs in Kenya, and what the parliament has gone on record with.

For the record, I don’t believe Obama was born in America, and, until the actual birth certificate is produced, I’m right.

Wouldn't you at least want to see a photo before buying into that?

It might be true, but it might just as likely be just another untrue Internet rumor.

McCain 'birthers': ABC, CBS, NBC, FactCheck, N.Y. Times
Eligibility issue was huge in 2008 when Obama opponent was focus of attention

In addition to media scrutiny, McCain testified before a U.S. Senate committee and produced his long-form birth certificate for inspection.

The media was ready to go full "Joe the Plumber" on McCain in 2008.

Behold their hypocrisy!

Follow the links. You have every right to believe Obama was born in Kenya. The main issue relates to media double standards. I wouldn’t give the New York Times a pass.

Obama was born in Mombasa hey? Okay and you have the birth certificate? Also, name the government officials who took down the alleged plaque. I’d also be interested in the times and dates (with primary sources to back you up).

When reporters went to the hospital to ask questions about obama’s possible birth there, they were informed that all his records were sealed.

How do you seal records if they didn’t exist?

Great point: This all gets back to media hypocrisy. I don’t care if people think Obama was born on Mars, but the double standards here are just shocking.
