Fact-checking FactCheck.org: TheBirthers and Donofrio on Kenyan Citizenship
The Right Side of Life ^ | September 3, 2009 | Phil

Back on November 20, 2008, I had reported on a posting from attorney Leo Donofrio in which he brought up the concept that an individuals’ at-birth citizenship is what counts when it comes to determining an ambitious individual’s eligibility regarding Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5.

It has recently been shown — first via TheBirthers.org and then by Mr. Donofrio — and even reported in the Sonoran News that there appears to be a few problems in FactCheck.org’s reporting over whether or not Mr. Obama did, in fact, lose his Kenyan and/or British citizenship.

From TheBirthers’ main page:

Something FactCheck said made me start thinking. Personally, I think a pediatrician cuts out more tonsils of newborns than FactCheck checks facts, as I have realized thatFactCheck lies in the most insidious of ways, not with blatant lies but with partial truths and the omissions of facts.

One such lie is about the question Q: Does Barack Obama have Kenyan citizenship? A: No. He held both U.S. and Kenyan citizenship as a child, but lost his Kenyan citizenship automatically on his 21st birthday. The Rocky Mountain News sets up a story on the internet to be debunked. As proof that the article that appeared on the internet was false, FactCheck offered this explanation:

Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.

You know it's getting bad for Zero when even Factcheck.org can't tow the Hope and Change line 100% of the time.

Abortion: Which Side Is Fabricating?

Despite what Obama said, the House bill would allow abortions to be covered by a federal plan and by federally subsidized private plans.

Keep Your Insurance? Not Everyone.

President Obama has repeatedly said that under the health care overhaul efforts in Congress, “if you like your health care plan, you keep your health care plan.” But he can’t make that promise to everyone.

“This is the greatest test of our Constitution in our nation’s history!”

And it gets a failing grade. Sad.

I’m guessing that the BC is a moot point but that the ‘baby daddy’ is NOT Obama Senior.

I think the baby daddy listed is someone else and that the “Obama Fantasy” is just the story Ann Dunham made up in her mind for her son because she didn’t want him to know which already-married-man (or not listed man) was his real birth father.

What I want to know is: Was Barry O (under any name) a member of the SDS while at Occidental College? Columbia? Harvard? Was he a member of the Black Panthers? Was he a member of the Weather Underground?

Was Barry O ever a member (under any name) of a Socialist Party? Communist Party? Any Political Party other than Democrat?

Lots of LEFTIST questions need to be asked and answered by “Barry Zer0bama.
