NEW YORK, Aug. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Out2.com's independent contrarian columnist, Andy Martin, will publish a column and hold simultaneous news conferences in New York and London on Wednesday, August 11th to disclose he believes Barack Obama is a political fraud who "lied to the American people." Martin has asked Crown Books to stop sales of Obama's book because of its fraudulent content. Martin says Obama may be a threat to the Jewish community.
NEWS CONFERENCE DETAILS:"I feel sad having to expose Barack Obama," says Martin, "but the man is a complete fraud. The truth is going to surprise, and disappoint, and outrage many people who were drawn to him. He has lied to the American people, and he has sought to misrepresent his own heritage.
New York:
Time/date: Wednesday, August 11, 2004 11:00 A.M.

"Obama's life story is vastly different from the one he portrays. My point: if he will lie about his mother and father, what else is he lying about? Can we expect 'bimbo eruptions?'
"Fiction: Obama stated in his Convention speech: 'My father ... grew up herding goats.' The 'goat herder' claim has been repeated endlessly. It is a lie. Fact: Obama's grandfather, Hussein Onyango Obama was a prominent and wealthy farmer. His son, Obama's father, was a child of privilege, not privation. He was an outstanding student, not a herdsman.
"Fiction: Obama was given an 'African' name. Fact: Obama is a Muslim who has concealed his religion. I am a strong supporter of the Muslim community, and I believe Muslims have been scapegoated. Obama has a great opportunity to be forthright. Instead, he has treated his Muslim heritage as a dark secret. His grandfather was named 'Hussein.' That is an Arabic-Muslim, not African, name. Hussein was a devout Muslim and named his son, Barack Senior, 'Baraka.' Baraka is an Arabic word meaning 'blessed.' Baraka comes out of the Koran and Arabic, not Africa.
"Barack Senior was also a devoted Muslim, and also chose a Muslim name for his son, our own Barack Obama, Junior. Again, his name was an Arabic and Koranic.
Obama has spent a lifetime running from his family heritage and religious heritage. Would his father have given his son a Koranic name if the father was not a devout Muslim? Obama's stepfather was also a Muslim. Obama will be the first Muslim-heritage senator; he should be proud of that fact. There is nothing to be ashamed of in any of the three great Abrahamic religions.
"Fiction: Obama Senior was a harmless student 'immigrant' who came to the United States only to study. Fact: Obama was part of one of the most corrupt and violent organizations in Africa: the Kenyatta regime. Obama's father ran back to Kenya soon after the British left. It is likely Obama's father had Mau Mau sympathies or connections, or he would not have been welcomed into the murderous inner circle of rapists, murderers, and arsonists. I believe Obama's secret shame at his family history of rape, murder and arson is what actualizes him. Our research is not yet complete. We are seeking to examine British colonial records. Our investigation to date has drawn on information on three continents.
"And what about Obama's beloved Kenyan brothers and sisters? None of his family was invited to Boston to share his prominence. Are his relatives being kept in the closet? Where are they? More secrecy, more prevarication.
"It is time for Barack Obama to stop presenting a fantasy to the American people. We are forgiving and many would still support him. It may well be that his concealment is meant to endanger Israel. His Muslim religion would obviously raise serious questions in many Jewish circles where Obama now enjoys support," Martin states.
"Our investigation is continuing. In he meantime, Crown Books should stop selling Obama's novelization of his life. We have asked Crown to do that. Obama is living a lie."

Oh, I'm sure you can!
Drudge has been notified.
My point is that a Press Release has an ulterior motive, usually financially motivated.
I wouldn't get too excited about these charges until they are published by a third party that has done some homework.
bump
IMO, this is completely beside the point. Obama is a socialist. He thinks it is okay to kill babies even when they are out of the womb. How bad off are we if we need more than that?
Most true. That is more important to me than his background.
Interesting, but IMHO it won't make any difference in Illinois. Obama sounds too good, almost Clintonian, and most of the voters will ignore this.
CUIDADO!
But if I were (a) a member of Keyes' campaign or (b) Jewish, I would be looking into this with all available resources.
If his grandfather's name was really Hussein Obama, then there is no question he was Muslim.
If his mother married two Muslim men and Obama is hiding his Muslim background, that is legitimate news.
That's just wierd.
I believe the Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands is wrong.
Well, this press release is more sensationalistic than credible.That being said, isn't it interesting what wasn't said...
No one has pointed out that two candidates running for national office on the Democratic ticket this year both hail from African colonialist heritages (Heinz-Kerry, Obama).

Excuse me while I go barf up my lunch.
I thought this guy was too smooth of a talker
Maybe Ray Kroc was a humble hamburger salesman who flipped a burger now and then.
I would be surprised if this story were true and Democrats never bothered to check any of it out...but we'll see.
PING PING PING *LOL* The feeling of vindication is real good.
I agree. It's like Schwartzenegger's Father being a Nazi. So what?
