I asked curiosity yesterday why Obama’s granny would lie about what happened, and curiosity said it never happened... It will be interesting to see curiosity’s source documentation.

Huh? You are the one asserting that an event happened, and you are asking me for documentation that it didn't happen?

Your logic is backwards. If you want to assert that something happened, the burden is on you to prove that it happened, not on the skeptic who doubts you.

So what's my "documentation" that Obama's grandma never said he was born in Kenya? Simple. The fact that birthers have never provided documentation that she did in fact say it.

So there is no evidence that Barry’s granny said she was there at his birth, and he passed through her hands, but Meredith is clueless about it? She’s too uninformed to say, ‘Sorry, Trump; you’re just repeating a ‘birfer’ myth’?

Or, if it’s known her quotes are completely manufactured/unsubstantiated, why don’t reporters know this? Why haven’t headlines been filled with snark, such as, ‘Trump repeats discredited Birfer myth’???

Let me put it another way. It has been reported all over the web, thousands of times, that Barry’s granny claimed to have been present at his birth in Kenya. Why are you the ***only*** person denying it??? If it’s a known falsehood, can you produce not even *one* other reputable source debunking the ‘myth’?

Not true. The interview in which Sarah Obama claimed to have witnessed Barack's birth in Kenya was linked to, and extensively discussed on FR in late 2008 - early 2009.

The only valid question that has arisen out of that interview, is, which Barack was she referring to? Senior, or Junior?

Try this one. It’s been reported all over the net and elsewhere that Barry’s granny said she was present at his birth in Kenya. How do you (alone, it appears) know, with the certitude you expressed yesterday, and beyond the shadow of a doubt, that ALL these reports are false??? Surely you have at least one rock solid source discrediting this ‘myth’...right???

When and how did you first learn that widespread reports of Barry’s granny claiming to be present at his birth (in Kenya) were false? Who told you it was a lie?

Or did you just ‘know in your bones’ the granny never said this? Did you need no source to debunk the ‘myth’ because you have innate knowledge/telepathy/sixth sense awareness of what is true and what is false?

I’m not asking anything unreasonable. If the widely spread (to make an understatement) reports of Barry’s granny’s claims are false, ***somebody*** other than curiosity ought to be reporting and/or refuting it.

[Case in point. I personally have seen hundreds of refutations of the claim that Americans were not allowed to travel to Pockistan during the time Barry visited the country. Why no similar deluge of refutations of granny’s quotes???]

Okay; I’m convinced. It’s so obvious, now that I’ve thought about it. Of course Barry’s granny would have denied the quotes. As soon as it began to be widely reported that she said he was born in Kenya, if she hadn’t said it, she’d have disavowed the quotes.

It’s so obvious.

Oh, wait. She *didn’t* disavow saying that? She never corrected the record?

Hmm. She must have really said it, then.

Okay.

Unless, of course, you’re willing to share with me how you can be so certain she never claimed (as has been *widely* reported) to be present at Barry’s birth. I really am curious as to the source of your insider knowledge.

Oh my, curiosity. I discovered why you can’t cite sources. They’re all far left liberal!

That’s right. The only people claiming granny didn’t say Barry was born in Kenya are moonbat lefties. Hmmm.

Yet even the moonbats admit she said it. Then they pathetically try to blame a bad translation, or frantically add that her younger relatives corrected her—as if she was too senile to know where her grandson was born.

Of course you can’t cite moonbats, so you retreat into silence. I’m not saying you’re a liberal...but you certainly get your info from loonie leftist sources.
