The origin of modern myths and legends is a side interest of mine, the birther myths among them.
Now I understand why Obama being born in Kenya made it into your belief system, despite it being physically impluasible (requiring around 5 days and five flights, most on propeller planes) and financially impossible (it would have cost about a year of her parents' combined salaries) for Stanley Ann & Obama Sr. to travel there for her to give birth. After all, Obama's Father was from Kenya, so if you are going to make up a myth about Obama being born abroad, what better place than Kenya?
Implausibilty, and even impossiblilty doesn't deter the making of myths if there is a strong emotional reason to believe them, as in this case.
What I don't understand is, of all possible places in Kenya, why make Mombassa the birthplace in your myth? If you look at the map of Kenya, it's on the other end of the country from Obama Sr.'s village, 762 miles away, which would make it a minimum 2 day train ride. Probably longer, since Kenyan trains were very fast in 1961.
I suppose you could argue that there were no hospitals in Obama's village, so they had to travel to a major city. But Nairobi was closer, and more modern.
So why Mombassa? Not only is it completely implausible; I don't see the emotional appeal. Why Mombasssa rather than his father's village? Or why Mombassa rather than Nairobi?
Help me out here, birthers. Why do you reserve this special place for Mombassa in your belief system?
“Someone sent me a page from there.”
Oh, c’mon, be honest. Was it you who signed me up over there? What did you make me say? You can tell me. I won’t get mad at you. Can I borrow your name and password there? Or, should I sign on there as you? That would be fair wouldn’t it?
parsy, who can take a joke.
People have freepmailed others with a page from Politijab - there’s a way of doing it without having to be a member.
You seem to have joined up there pretty recently and they just Luv you - Milspec is ‘Has happy” there now, among his kindred spirits.
They were welcoming the great hero with open arms.
You’re outed. Get over it.
Be a sport. Humor me. When did you sign me up? What did I say?
parsy, who thinks it was a kewl trick!
Oh nonsense...total barf:
Take your lies elsewhere you pathetic treasonous little worm.
BTTT for truth!
“Assuming that she actually did have the baby in Nairobi, as witnessed and reported by the relatives, of course.”
I remain ever amazed at birthers’ willingness to simply make stuff up and pretend it’s evidence.
There have been ZERO relatives who have claimed to have witnessed any supposed Obama birth in Nairobi. None. Not even Sarah in the McRae tape.
Now you could admit that what you said isn’t true, but that’s not the typical birther way. More likely this lie will be glossed over, the subject will be changed, or the claim will be rephrased to mean something totally different. But who knows, maybe null will surprise me and admit that it’s false and unsubstantiated.
Hello, hello, calling Curio, don’t they pay you for posting on week-ends, or why the silence, over???
Are you referring to a normal 12-14 knots "steamer" or to a vessel "propelled" by canvas sails???
He is AKA as a closet racist!!!
I recall that from last year he would post here on F.R. opinions he would copy/paste from the “Politjab,” which I told him was a very lib oriented site. He knows how to spin you with deceit and talking points!!!
He tries but he lost the game.
He is now outed for all the world to see.
Actually according to your transcript the translator corrected Sarah...
OGOMBE: No, Obama was not born in Mombasa. He was born in America.
Why is it that the translator Ogombe saw fit to correct her or prevent her from answering that question truthfully?
Spin yes, but deceive no. I've been on to him for well over a year now. And I recognize lib talking points when I see them. To those of us who read and research they're not fooling anyone. They only fool those too lazy to do their own work and drink the lamestream media koolaid.
I'm just happy he's been outed - so much fun posting that pic! Thank you mojitojoe!! :) rofl
curiosity has been AWOL since Thursday, the stimulus money must have run out???
milspec took off when he was outed. LOL
Shine the light of truth on the darkness and watch the cockroaches run for cover.
Troll Alert!
Curiosity is not a conservative, and supports numerous tyrannical incursions.
Check posting history!
Why borrow someones...... Just use your own. Those dates are sure a coincidence. Funny you signed up there a couple of days after JR told you to stop trolling the BC threads here. If it wasn’t for the coincidence of the dates, I might have believed you were pranked.
