Almost two years after Barack Obama released a copy of his birth certificate -- proving that he was brought into this world on Aug. 4, 1961, in Honolulu -- "Birther" conspiracy theorists continue to claim that America's 44th president was born in Kenya (or Indonesia, or who knows where), and so is constitutionally ineligible to assume the role of U.S. president. A few weeks ago, the Arizona House actually passed a Birther-inspired provision requiring U.S. presidential candidates to prove they meet constitutional requirements. That proposal was withdrawn, but similar laws are being promoted by Republican lawmakers in other jurisdictions.
Since the Birther movement refuses to die, it's worth examining the roots of the phenomenon -- beginning with the website that has done more than any other to advance their conspiracy theory.
A concise way to describe WorldNetDaily is that it defines the exact inflection point on the spectrum of right-wing punditry where legitimate journalism ends and out-and-out conspiracism begins. On one hand, the popular website employs a staff of professional reporters who cover real stories. But it also pushes discredited conspiracy theories about Barack Obama and has become a clearing house for litigious wingnuts.
The brain behind WorldNetDaily is Joseph Farah, a middle-aged Arab-American Christian Evangelical who originally made a name for himself two decades ago as editor of The Sacramento Union. He began WorldNetDaily on a shoestring in 1997, and has since grown it into a profitable agglomeration of right-wing columns, original investigative articles, oddball product pitches, gold-buggery and an affiliated book-selling business. The ideology on display roughly coincides with the nativist, socially conservative right-wing fringe of the Republican Party, but with an even heavier dose of paranoia and freaked-out America-gone-to-Gomorrah sensationalism.(continued)

It’s hard to tell Sven since he applied for and recieved something like 17 SS numbers. What a complete farce huh? CO
He won’t show his college records likely because he would have had to be listed as a “foreign” student or whatever they call it. Foreign exchange or here on a Student visa. In any event, it shows he’s not American. CO
I agree with you 100% but it still annoys me that people/liberal researchers fail to recognize that not only has the birth certificate/place of birth been discussed over and over again, they simply will not accept the fact that no one, and I mean no one, recognizes the fact that they can’t prove he was ever born in any facility in Hawaii. It seems to me that since there has been so much discussion of the birth certificate with no results, it would be easier to get to the crux of the matter if a monetary challenge was offered to anyone who can find the place that has a certified record (one that can be proven through forensics) of his birth, they will be compensated. I would definitely contribute to a fund such as that!!!
Yeah cuz, you know, Obama's the real one.
Then why don’t they do it?
gnip
“So, nice. Good for you.”
Is that you David Frum?
True, but if he was born in the US, his mother's age doesn't matter, it only applies if he was born outside the US, and his father was an alien. And it's matter of statute law. If he was born outside the US, his mother did not have the required residency time after her 14th birthday. If born outside the US, he's not only not natural born, he's not a citizen at all. Unless of course he was later naturalized. But either way, he's not eligible.
But since his father was not a citizen, he can't be natural born even if he popped out in the Lincoln bedroom.
A very succinct explanation that makes sense to me.
I repeat: BO was not born in ANY hospital in Hawai'i.
Hey Dudes!
Good to see you’re still in there fighting!
parsy, who’s busy on some other stuff
There is another fact that the liberals overlook.....every hospital, clinic and anywhere a baby would have been delivered on that day and there is no record in all of Hawaii!
Please explain ...
That’s because this birth was outside of the country and his grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, knew what to do when she found out her daughter, Stanley Anne gave birth. Madelyn ran down to the Honolulu auditor’s office and filled out a statement of birth. This automatically sent the notice to the newspapers and everything was made authentic. This was done, I believe, when Stanley Anne and Baby Barry were already in Seattle, Washington.
A very succinct explanation that makes sense to me.
I repeat: BO was not born in ANY hospital in Hawai’i.
I agree
Are you listening MSM ?
Thought not.
i firmly believe that the bamster WAS NOT BORN in any hospital in Hawaii and the ones there have yet to confirm
are these hospitals citing HIPPA law now or what i don’t know
i think it’s safe to say the bamster didn’t declare himself as American but foreign to get the financial aid he needed to go to Occidental.
After Stanley Ann sent him back to HI i believe there was some sort of agreement w/her parents that they pay the Punahou tuition and Grammy & Gramps wrote the checks to pay for it and that after the bamster graduated it was his responbility (along with his mother’s help for documentation as to what his student status was)to put the wheels in motion for financial aid to attend Occidental-no more school and basic housing needs/shelter from Toot or Gramps.
It’s very much in the realm of possibility that his grade school records from the Fransikus Academy show him a minority or muslim and this was also used to catapult him into Punahou.Upon graduation those records were forwarded to Occidental and that’s how he attended.
there’s tons of assumptions as well as mine
the one thing i know and i know it for true-the bamster won’t leave office of POTUS thru Blago & Rezko,BP monies,etc...or even lawsuits to release his records or even thru SCOTUS.
imho whatever the blunder is the bamster will make it himself because he’s a liar and a narcissist and he’s the kind of invidual as i have observed that he’s all but TOLD EVERYONE he’s a closet commie muzzie and he will come to point when he will want to show off his esoteric side.
He’s like an emotional 6yo who just can’t wait to spill the beans because he believes he’s the only that has them.
I’ve seen people like him and he just can’t hold back because he believes that he was the only one in whole wide frikkin’ world that has this particular set of experiences or facts.
Remember in the race he bragged about “knowing” foreign politics and Pakistan and India and Iran simply on the thin fact he accompanied his gay lover to Pakistan?
Ever notice he takes seconds out of his speech when pronouncing arabic words like-’Al qaida’ and swallowing his QAI’dah on pronunciation like a pro. He thinks he’s always been hotshite and knows EVERTHING just because of his pronunciation.
Ever notice how and when he says ‘latino? and he thinks that people will pick up on that and that makes him cool with the mexican ILLEGAL ALIEN population ad nauseum
he ingratiates himself by mere pronunciation
This is a sidebar statement from what i’ve posted below but have you EVER HEARD in his pronunciations in regards to other minorities who may be illegal aliens like a substantial portion of Western Europe.Can he pull out an Irish,English,French,Czech,Pole,Russian pronunciation? I don’t think so.
awwww shite, he can’t speak French.
this a$$clown needs to be removed from office.
at one point the bammers is going to make a HUGE MISTAKE and his house of cards will come tumblin’ down
i firmly believe that the bamster WAS NOT BORN in any hospital in Hawaii and the ones there have yet to confirm
are these hospitals citing HIPPA law now or what i don’t know
Which is exactly what the anti-birthers don’t understand. A fraudulently placed president cannot govern honestly and competently. His whole presidency is based on a fraudulent claim, the equivalent of selling your soul to get what you want. Nothing good can come of it, and nothing good has.
Also he may have surrendered his US citizenship for Indonesian citizenship when his mother remarried...
A number of details that no one seemed to care about in 2008 because "he has such a 'great' story". I don't want stories. I want a constitutional presidency run by an American who LOVES America. Obama wants to represent America on behalf of the world's opinion.
When I saw how much Barry looks like his grandfather - it looks more like a resemblance between a father and son than a grandson and grandfather.
I’m starting to think the O is the son of Stanley Dunham and some unknown black woman, and they palmed him off as Stanley Anne’s child for some reason. This happened to a lot of people, their parent wasn’t who they thought it was, like
Jack Nicholson, Bobby Darin and Ted Bundy.
This is being discussed today on another thread, however, that CT SS# has previously been given to a diseased person!!!
What is your take on that???
