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:
New York: Time/date: Wednesday, August 11, 2004 11:00 A.M. Location: Northeast Corner of Fifth Avenue and 65th Street (Temple Emanu-El)
London: Time/date: Wednesday, August 11, 2004 4:00 P.M. Location: 2 Dryden Mansions, Queens Club Gardens London W14
"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.
"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."

Ping.
Obama and Kerry perfect together. Lies about their heritage and their true intentions.
SIGN & FORWARD PETITION to GOP Leaders: Fund & Support Alan Keyes Senate Campaign!
Get up to date with Alan Keyes, his schedule and campaign.
Be an Obama fan! 8-o Encourage our Socialist Rock Star Barack to do those 6 Lincoln/Douglas style debates with that 'right-winger' Alan Keyes!: info@obamaforillinois.com & bobama@aol.com
That's a fair cop if the news conference comes off as you suggest; but the charges, at this time, are unsupported and the story's publicity value is now.
btw, In case you don't know the Chicago Slum-Times, oops, the Sun-Times caters to the 'black community'. All it's editorial columnists are black, including the REV, Jesse Jacka$$.
In short, this rag is the Daily Defender with better equipment and more money. The only saving grace of the Sun-Times is the diagram-less crossword puzzle.
Also, he wouldn't be the first Muslim to serve in the Senate. Spence Abraham(R-MI) was.
I also find it rather unbelievable that you did not find this previously published on FR, since it has the exact same title as the piece that was posted just a few days ago. It is obvious from reading the replies that there are some Freepers naive enough to fall for this crapola. Thankfully there are others who recognize that this campaign can only be one by pointing out the differences in the policies the two candidates promote and why the policies promoted by Obama are not those that the people of Illinois should approve.
Penny for your thoughts. This popped up when I checked my Yahoo mail and I didn't recall seeing it on FR. I *did* do a search, but it did not come up. Perhaps I misspelled a word? At any rate, it is a valid questions, as I had not heard about his Muslim background before. If the DNC is trying to keep it quiet, then it should be open for discussion. I am quite confident that Keyes will handle himself and the issues with or without this. As for Martin, I don't know a thing about him. Why not post some stories about him so we can make our own judgement on his sanity?
I wonder if any sharp FR researcher (and there are MANY, MANY of them here) could check up on any link between Louis Farrakhan and Obama???? Not that it would be easy to find, but it WOULD be an interesting find!!!!.................
He may sit in our senate one day and be privy to immensely deep intelligence. This matters.
Period.
Do I think this is important?
YOU BET I DO!
It is important for OBAMA to state his separation, and if you go to his church's website, you will find a church that, under the cover of God, promotes racism.
Read their pledges.
There is NOTHING about America there-but lots about Africa.
This isn't about roots, tho, it is about hating and fighting the rotten Americans, you know the ones, the ones that BEAT BACK SLAVERY while it CONTINUES in Sudan, Africa. (Oh-and you won't find anything on this church website about fighting out against the horrendous slavery in Sudan or the killing of Christains there)
Go for it nyc, and contemplate someone who MIGHT be MUSLIM in the worst sense, might not be-I know-but it would be NICE to hear it from OBAMA considering his grandfather and step-father's past, considering Obama's arabic name, and considering how our pasts influence EACH OF US, Obama is no exception.
Interested in your reply!
I cant say if he is a muslim or not but it sure sounds as if he does not have a good understanding of christianity. The Koran makes it clear it is ok with allah to lie to decieve the infidel.
The mohamchurian cantidate?
I thought Obama was a Christian.
Thanks for correcting the error. I'll print the correction on page F-34 in tomorrow's ABG Times. ;^)
