Hawaii paper turns down ad regarding Obama birth
WND ^ | June 28, 2009 | WorldNetDaily

Posted on 06/28/2009 7:38:49 PM PDT by RobinMasters

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.

"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.

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.

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.

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.

I wouldn’t worry too much about that. I just hope that Rush or someone with money will get a fax of the thing, plunk down money, and then distribute it.

I have always thought that if there is any legs to this issue, the Hildabeast would have uncovered it, giving how vicious and ruthless she is. I support the constitution 100%. This issue though is not going to discredit Obama that much because this issue was out even before the election and voters didn't give a hoot then, so why would they in 2012. I am just sick of losing and would like to see a republican step it up and start leading on policy.

.

Farah needs to offer $10,000 cash for the drug dealer’s name(s), date(s), evidence of Obama’s cocaine dealer(s) and purchases -

$20,000 for any in the last 10 years

That’s an idea. It wouldn’t have to be full page and could be very inexpensive. It might produce something.

If Obongo was born at a hospital in Hawaii they would be crowing about it. He wasn’t.

While the constitution sets out the qualifications for office, it does not specify what proof is required or what official is responsible for enforcement. Until those questions are resolved, the basic issue will continue to be ignored.

One way to force the issue would be for someone who obviously is not a citizen to file for election to a federal office (Senate or Congress) and refuse to provide proof of eligibility. When they are denied a place on the ballet, they could file suit challenging the authority of the person denying their right to seek the office as well as the type proof required.

By forcing the issue into the federal court system, the issue of who is responsible for enforcing the constitutional requirement for office and the level of proof required would be established. Once this is finally established through final appeal, it would apply to all constitutional requirements including for the presidency.
