NPR archive describes Obama as 'Kenyan-born'

Those crazy "birthers" are citing National Public Radio.

Really? NPR?

Archives for the tax-supported organization reveal that a 2008 report described then-Sen. Barack Obama as "Kenyan-born" and a "son of Africa."

NPR's promotion for the story included a brief description of West African correspondent Ofeibea Quist-Arcton, who "describes the stories that have been exciting, including the U.S. presidential race of Kenyan-born Sen. Barack Obama."

After discussing various issues developing in Africa at the time – such as Kenya's violent elections, the attacks in Zimbabwe and the presidency of South Africa – the conversation on the program "Tell Me More" turned to Obama.

Your photograph of the sign is not what it actually is. It is actually a photo-shopped of the actual sign:

I am actually pissed that I had to go out into the web and find the above image to correct your deceptive image. It does not do us patriots for the truth any service for you to post this crap.

Your only saving grace is that yes, Barack Obama Sr was born in Kenya. As for Barack Jr. too many people are sitting on their rears and will not go out and dig up the truth. They could start with Stanley Ann's Mercer Island friends.

Or this:

At one point in the second debate, Keyes, accused Obama saying, “You are not even a natural born citizen!”

To which Obama immediately replied, “So what? I am running for Illinois Senator, not the presidency.”

At the end of the airing of the second debate, the C-Span host noted, as he read from a single sheet of paper, placed before him, that the Obama Campaign had contacted them and requested them to point out to their viewers that Obama’s response here should not be understood as a denial that he is a natural born citizen, only that Keyes’ accusation had nothing to do with the qualifications of office of a U.S. Senator.

Where did you hear this? You have quotes and yet you offer no source for this? I’d love to believe you, really, but I’ve never seen a source for any of this. No transcript, no video, no audio. If you have a source to back this up then please let us know.

[dalebert]

is there some way to give this legs?

[TigerBait]

I do not have the video or you would have seen it by now.

Sign has been proven false. Agree it is not a good idea to keep posting something that’s been shown to be b.s. Enough other info there and yet to be uncovered.

kudos to WND

[Judges Gone Wild]

I listened to the interview as well. Obama is called a “son of Africa”, but not Kenyan-born. If you say, “The facts are wrong, but the story is true”, then you are just like Dan Rather.

[Tex-Con-Man]

Wooaahh...No kidding.

That one on the right is some piss-poor photoshopping.

You can see some of the clone stamping.

I think the photo in the center is off of an old Yes album cover.

If you say, “The facts are wrong, but the story is true”, then you are just like Dan Rather.

I just find it funny that Wing Nut Daily screams from the rafters, "NPR says Obama is Kenyan-born!!!" and then links their story to a NPR radio broadcast where not once does anyone claim that he is Kenyan-born.

There's 12 minutes and 22 seconds of my life I'm never getting back.

[jay099]

Did you guys not even read the NPR page that the WND article links to? On that NPR page you’ll see that NPR explains the audio clip that is posted there and in that explanation, third sentence, it says, “She also describes the stories that have been exciting, including the U.S. presidential race of Kenyan-born Sen. Barack Obama.” So yes, NPR said in Oct 2008 that Barack Obama Jr. was “Kenyan-born”.

Let’s hope this pretender keeeps up the attack on Israel. The Mossad has a way of leveling the playing field. If they start digging, the truth will come out.

That link it ROTFL funny! Migration of Michelle Obama's favorite animal, the wildebeast. Short, 2 hour prologue (for each segment) by Barack.

Will be a slowwwww boil.

Here’s something. The U.S. House of Representatives passed a law celebrating Hawaii being admitted the Union. Yay!

Well... included in the unanimously passed bill is a statement Obama was born there. This provide any legal cover?

Judge,

The NPR article says “Kenyan-born” here:

[Drew68]

Did you guys not even read the NPR page that the WND article links to?

Did you not even listen to the 12:22 broadcast it links to?

[Drew68]

Judge,

I did. I listened to the whole thing. Nowhere did the reporter say Obama was born in Kenya.

[Fred Nerks]

some tea party that was, hundreds dead and a quarter of a million people displaced.

[TheThinker]

The screenshot of the NPR webpage does say Kenyon-born Sen. Barack Obama.

[jay099]

Yes, I listened to it. Does that change the fact that NPR said that Obama was “Kenyan-born” on the page that’s linked, just as the WND title says? Of course not. Are you going to deny that NPR said that Obama was “Kenyan-born”? We’re not talking about the audio link, we’re talking about the page that was linked.
