I thought that Farah was going to interview him and then cover it soon (???????).
Re: “Whatever happened to that guy on Ebay who was supposed to turn over to WND the evidence that would prove Obama was born in Kenya?”
little hint... put the other comments (your quote of another FReeper) first, and then yours. And somehow distinguish between the two. It becomes awfully confusing as to what is going on when one reads your replies... as I said, just a hint ... :-)
You were saying — I thought that Farah was going to interview him and then cover it soon (???????).

Ummm..., well, it didn’t exactly turn out that way. Right off the bat, I could see that this eBay seller of “Obama’s birth certificate” for an online auction was something that was *extremely prone* to *fraud*. And they guy (actually a girl, I believe) wouldn’t give enough information about it, wouldn’t present even a low resolution scan of it and wouldn’t let anyone examine it *prior* to bidding on it, only saying that the winning bidder could view it, outdoors, in a public place, on some steps of a government building (and have an “expert” with the buyer, if they wanted) — and decide *on the spot* whether to “pay off” or not.
Well..., the whole thing *screamed* of *fraud* right off the bat, and even the bids themselves seemed to be fraud.
To make a long story, short, the eBay seller was found to be somewhat “insane” (by what was reported by some FReepers in what they discovered, somewhat dangerous (criminal record) and by association with those fact, must be perpetrating a fraud.
BUT..., the clincher (at least for me) was when the hoaxster said that they were giving up on auctioning it off, and they were going to send it to WorldNetDaily for them to examine.
WELL..., that was *excellent news* to me, because that meant we would find out, in short order, whether this was a fraud or not — simply (at the first step of the process) as to whether the eBay seller *actually* did send it.
He never sent it... and so his hoax was exposed.

This was almost like chief editor Korir, over at API (African Press International) who said, before the election that he had Michelle Obama on tape (on the phone) admitting that her husband was born in Kenya. And he was going to send this to Fox News to expose Obama to the world before the election.
Well, he never sent it either — but — Korir dragged this thing on and on and on, for so long, with all his “stories” that he managed to keep the fraud going until Obama’s inauguration... LOL... just because people *continued to be gullible* and continued believing his lies and fraudulent statements.
And we still see this in operation today, as many here on Free Republic were believing that this eBay scammer “must be for real” (being gullible...) and so, those people are apparently *wide-open* for more of these frauds and scams on this issue. They *want it* so badly that they will accept virtually anything.
In fact, I remember reading one poster saying that it probably took an *insane person* to be able to get this Obama birth certificate, since others had failed. They figured that being insane helped this person in getting it... :-)
And so it goes on...
