Newspaper Publishers in the Black Community Think Barack Obama is Foreign Born
Red State dot com ^ | 4-17-11 | Erick Erickson

Posted on 04/18/2011 9:50:02 AM PDT by bigbob

The National Newspaper Publishers Association is affiliated with the hundreds of newspapers across the country that cater to the black community or, in the words of the NNPA, “The Black Press of America”. The Northeast Publishers Association is a smaller association that best characterized as the trade association for black newspapers in the Northeast.

The NPA has prepared the advertisement below to go in black newspapers across the country. Walter Smith, a director of the NEPA, blasted out the advertisement to many on their email list with a note saying, in part, “We can educate our readership by either running this ad or making a similar statement in our newspapers.”

The advertisement embraces the idea that Barack Obama was not born in the United States — a position rejected by most Americans. It’s bad for Barack Obama when even the black newspaper publishers of America think he is foreign born.

The NPA evidently doesn't choose to argue that Obama is foreign-born, they're saying it doesn't matter.

Adds to the popcorn. Although where did they get the idea that only ONE parent had to be a citizen? From what I’ve read it must be both parents as citizens. And so Obama is still not a natural born citizen, regardless of where he was born.

I think it’s great. Let them go way out on that incorrect limb and rally around a mistaken interpretation. The more people saying he was born off shore, the better.
Just my opinion.

Wonderful! Read the ad in the pdf link in the article... Laughable!

What they are pushing is that you don't need to be born here in the US, that being born in Kenya and your mom was an American makes him eligible for POTUS.

Yeah, we’re a big global happy family...soon Communist America can interview other countries’ ex-presidents and hire us a president.

English mother tongue is no problem; he/she/it can go to night school in the BathHouse basement to supplement with 3 English credits. No exams are required to avoid self-esteem problems.

We don’t need no steeeenkin’ Americans to fill the POTUS vacancies.

Papa Alinsky, Wowing over the idea that even I didn’t come up with. (Ending a sentence with a preposition (shoot, tough word) ain’t no problem, English will be offensive to use, soon.

Tentacles, is more like it.

Those tentacles will grab the whole Communist cabal, the media enablers and the big wigs in both parties down to the bottom of the ocean.

I know I’m redundant when listing who will be grabbed.

Rejected? They are blatantly dismissing the relevance of Donald Trump's call out about Obama. Donald Trump has stirred up millions of Americans who believe if Obama is a citizen (big question mark), why he won't make his BC public and are certain he is hiding SOMETHING earthshakingly important.

Why, that's exactly how I taught Dear Leader to be transparent. 0b0z0's so transparent you couldn't even see him.

“The advertisement embraces the idea that Barack Obama was not born in the United States — a position rejected by most Americans.”

Erick Erickson is part of the GOP “elite” cabal that has been demeaning and smearing “birthers” for the past year.

Erickson previously banned pro-”birther” articles and comments from his Red State blog (early last year?) so I regard this veiled pro-”birther” piece as the signal from Erickson throwing in the towel in the face of the Trump Tsunami of interest in just why Obama is still withholding his 1961 vital record images.

Reading the comments on Red State, Erickson is allowing losts of pro-"birther" speculation that he would have previously zotted!

This is going to be a long, hot summer especially with Trump turning up the heat about the BC on the big-eared one.

I’ve often wondered about that lady who was soooo happy that because of B0 she wouldn’t have to worry about paying her mortgage or putting gas in her car.

How knows? Maybe he took care of her with a $5,000 a month for life of our money to shut her up.
