Hawaii paper turns down ad regarding Obama birth

WASHINGTON – In the latest effort to obtain information that could settled the controversy over Barack Obama's eligibility for office as a "natural born citizen," WND Editor and Chief Executive Officer Joseph Farah attempted to buy a full-page ad in a Honolulu daily newspaper soliciting assistance in finding documentary evidence of his birth in the city Aug. 4, 1961, as he claims in his autobiography.

Despite offering the full rate of $7,168.50 plus taxes for a full-page, color ad on page 2 of the news section of the Honolulu Star-Bulletin next Monday, the copy was rejected – the latest turndown by a growing list of media companies that won't touch the birth certificate issue even for money.

"I spoke to my publisher and unfortunately we cannot accept the ad because it is political," explained Cyd Kamakea, classified advertising manager.

...a growing list of media companies that won't touch the birth certificate issue...

This is a growing list of so-called media companies that are obviously more in the propaganda and manipulation industries. They dare not attempt to call themselves "news" media or try to make any claim of impartiality.

something tells me it's easier to get the formula for Kentucky Fried Chicken original recipe than to get this clown's birth certificate

[SERKIT]

Several people have stepped forward to affirm the Kenyan burf, but who has stepped up to affirm the Hawaii burf?

>the latest turndown by a growing list of media companies that won’t touch the birth certificate issue even for money.

so weird...

[struggle]

Put the same ad in the Mombasa Daily News!

You’ll have 10 copies of his birth certificate in a week!

[Mount Athos]

There are two major Hawaiian newspapers did they try the other one?

[missnry]

Looks like the Honolulu Star Bulletin is trying to increase its parrots and puppy dog readership!

"I spoke to my publisher and unfortunately we cannot accept the ad because it is political,

I find it hard to believe that the Star Bulletin has never published a political ad before.

[US Navy Vet]

Hawaii is a pathetic JOKE of a state. We should have kept it as a territory.

[VicVega]

who has stepped up to affirm the Hawaii burf?

Waiting on his broth'a from a noth'a moth'a.

Hey guys, notice that the media was in such serious financial trouble last fall? Then the stories absolutely stopped at the same time this assclown was innagruated? Hmmm. I wouldn’t be a bit surprised that the major media has been subsidized by the obama tribe in exchange for covering up his past and glowing media stories. The media is just a bunch of whores who will go with the highest bidder and now ozero has looted the national treasury for his own purposes, it would make sense. Connect the dots. Follow the money.

Now there you went and denigrated clowns everywhere?????????

[Electric Graffiti]

We can’t have political speech...yet they probably have 4 full page ads for boner pills.

All these leftist bed-wetting journalists are 100% in the tank for Ogabe. It’s really scary.

[Venturer]

Very Strange. What is it that frightens them.?

Obviously-—the truth.

That little bias is showing again, MSM.

Oh well, pat yourself on the back at your after hours drinking binges where you b1tch about cut salaries and possible looming unemployment, you’ve done well for The One.

[isom35]

Steve McGarrett and Danno would have got to the bottom of this!

[quantim]

That is very scary in that they have *two* senators.

I agree. If we need a 50th state, it should be Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

Unfortunately they’ve been replaced by Dawg the Bounty Hunter. He’s too busy hassling mentally defective meth-heads.

Awhile ago there was a movement in Canada for all of the W/ Province to secede and become part of the US.

Well, not for a republican, anyway...

Welcome to the USS of A. We now have USSR Pravda style media. It’s up to us now.

[mojitojoe]

Linda Lingle is certainly no fan of odumbo, that is for sure. He made some scathing remarks about how nobody in Hawaii even knew who he was and that he was only there for a few years school.

[lilylangtree]

obozo & his multi-million dollar lawyers have been the fear of Allah into the media.

[mojitojoe]

Corrections, SHE made scathing remarks..................

[Polarik]

Of course they were going to turn it down.

They’re part of BO’s Hawaiian Hitmen when it comes to writing cover stories for him.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Funny, I've yet to meet anyone who is a fan of zer0 (maybe I'm Lucky) and I can't see how his popularity can be so high.

Hopefully soon he'll piss off the wrong, or right person and all hell will break loose

[wbones8765]

There is no MSM it is state run media. They are in the bag for the left. They like socialism and communism. They talk about state run media in other countries, well they should look in the mirror.

[3D-JOY]

Every time I see these stories I wonder why the trip to a country that Americans were not allowed to visit...on a foreign passport...after the age of majority...did not disqualify him, regardless of birth location.

Allegiance and total regard for this country should trump anything else.

Time for free speech on our bumpers: "YObama, got BC?"

[hedgetrimmer]

they have to be certified by the hospital, I am sure the person that released it is in deep doo-doo now with the Kenyan government, and it won’t be happening again.

[mrsixpack36]

like a paper in Obama's backyard is really going to help out this cause. Republicans need to focus on 2010 and not this issue. Even if somehow Obama left office, we have biden, then PELOSI??? (correct me if i am wrong). I am more worried about 2010 at this point than this lost cause issue.

[mcshot]

Yea for the U.P.. But we may want to be alone or with Wisconsin if they can get their gun laws straightened out.

"The once-great watchdog American press has indeed become the pathetic lapdog American press - subservient to the whims and wishes of those in power." - Joseph Farah

Any collection of famous American quotations shout have this one included.

"I spoke to my publisher and unfortunately we cannot accept the ad because it is political,"...hmmm - I thought the First Amendment to the Constitution was all about guaranteeing freedom of speech, especially political - maybe this is getting close to a court case for violation of Mr. Farah's constitutional rights.....

This is a growing list of so-called media companies that are obviously more in the propaganda and manipulation industries. They dare not attempt to call themselves "news" media or try to make any claim of impartiality.

There might be some useful collateral injury WND could inflict. It might try to publish a full page ad in some other paper of the names of the papers that refused to accept the offer re the birth certificate. This would get the message out that there still is an unresolved issue regarding the BC, as well as publicize the idea that certain news outlets are complicit in keeping the issue unresolved.

[Cobra64]

"Hey Hussein, where's your birth certificate?"

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

[BIGLOOK]

What did you expect from a Gannett newspaper?

Obama's short stay in the Islands gave him roots.....and the claim of being born here put Hawaii on the political map.

Hardly anyone remembers him and those that do are divided 50-50, good or bad.

[1035rep]

Thanks for the ping!

[Kansas58]

Actually, this issue has “legs” and it does not hurt us at all to go after it, and keep the questions in front of the public.

Obama is DISHONEST, is the point.

Obama is NOT “open” that is the point.

When we discredit Obama, it helps in 2010.

[mrsixpack36]

I agree to a point, but republicans also need to step up and show some leadership with current policy. That is my frustration. Its like they enjoy chasing their tails instead of stopping the socialist policies of the Dems.
