Chicago Tribune covers birth certificate issue - with a front page image of the COLB!

"Cases challenging Barack Obama's citizenship have been tossed out in several states, and Hawaiian officials have vouched for his birth certificate. That didn't stop an activist from spending "tens of thousands" on Tribune ads."

[rjp2005]

Notice how it doesn't mention that other court cases are STILL awaiting rulings in other states. Amazing that their reporting is so shallow they failed to produce any information for the reading public about the Donofrio case before SCOTUS, or Keyes attempt in CA, etc. Amazing level of bias, but it is Chicago after all....

Hawaiian officials have vouched for his birth certificate

That is not true either.

[Red Badger]

Nov 6, 2007 on the rear? This is the same crap-cert as before.......

[Fresh Wind]

What do you expect from the Ministry of Truth?

[Slapshot68]

And this is only to say that a Birth Certificate supposedly exists, right? This isn’t the ACTUAL birth certificate?

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

Isn't this the same doc that was posted on the web site that was deemed to be a forgery?

MSM is shameless.

[Young Werther]

Isn’t that the “forgery” that was posted on his website?

Cases challenging Barack Obama's citizenship have been tossed out in several states, and Hawaiian officials have vouched for his birth certificate Way to bring only half the facts there so called journalists. Hawaiian officials have NOT vouched for his birth certificate, but why should the Chicago Suckup not get facts confused? Especially when it promotes lies about The Liar.

...Hawaiian officials have vouched for his birth certificate...

Sure... by placing it under seal! I had to stop reading here.

No mention of how much Obama spent on legal fees.

This is not reporting - it’s pure propaganda.

I suppose they feel they need to address, and “spin,” the story, since it’s not going away.

[ClearCase_guy]

I may be wrong, but didn’t the author of the COLB forgery come forward and admit that it was a forgery? How can the newspaper print it as something real? This isn’t just bias, this is aiding and abetting.

[Red Badger]

No, it’s not. It’s just a computer generated doc issued by the State of Hawaii to cover the basic facts, not the “official” original document, nor a photocopy of it......

[Obadiah]

MSM is shameless

Not that it's entirely necessary, but it bears repeating.

[autumnraine]

All they did was save the picture from fightthesmears.com.

I hope you weren’t under the impression that they would actually do some invetigative reporting?

Where is Fletch when you need him?

[Red Badger]

Yes, one and the same..........

[InterceptPoint]

"That didn't stop an activist from spending "tens of thousands" on Tribune ads."

And it didn't stop Obama from hiring 3 law firms and spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to hide his birth certificate from the American public. Amazing lack of curiosity on the part of a MSM. Actually it is not lack of curiosity - it is fear that drives them.

[ICE-FLYER]

I may not know the details fully but why is the revision in the lower left corner have a revision date of Nov, 2001? And why the word LASER?

Can someone tell me how in 1961 this would be on the ORIGINAL document?

My birth certificate from Boston is 5 years younger, more advanced than Hawaii was in record keeping yet looks like its from the 1800’s.

Somthing stinks here.

[autumnraine]

I don’t even believe it was generated by the Hawaii Dept of Human Resources.

The local radio talking head in Columbus, OH, Joel Riley, is talking about this now. He’s apparently buying into the garbage spewed by the Tribune. Here’s his e-mail: JoelRiley@610wtvn.com Any freepers feel like educating him? I have, but one e-mail is likely to get lost in the shuffle.

Don’t be too hard on him. He’s really pretty good, usually pretty clear thinking and usually on our side of the issues. He’s just been duped, as have many other good people. Educate, don’t berate...

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

That is what I thought, thanks for the confirmation.

All the news we can make up and print...way to go MSM!
