The Hutchinson News' editorial board struggled some to endorse a candidate in the crowded Republican primary for Kansas' 1st District U.S. House seat, in which all six candidates sound mostly the same. But in an endorsement published in Sunday's editions, we settled on Salinan Tracey Mann as the best pick, saying he "at least shows the ability to be reasonable and straightforward with voters."
We were wrong. And we withdraw that endorsement.
Quite simply, the reason is that it turns out Mann is what is known as a birther. He questions the citizenship of President Barack Obama despite evidence that is irrefutable to most objective, rational people - including a birth certificate released by the Hawaii secretary of state and birth announcements printed in Honolulu's two major newspapers.

Yeah, keep telling a lie enough, it will become the truth. /sarc
What evidence? An incomplete official document and 2 newspaper notices with addresses not associated with his mother that could have been published by anybody, anywhere?
Pretty lame editorial but at least a lot of their reader comments are calling them on their logic: Barack Obama is not to be questioned.
None of that is true...
So I guess healthy skepticism isn't a desirable trait to the left. That seems consistent with other leftist talking points (globull warming, etc.).
Show me the evidence
Put it right here in front of me on the table.
Can’t
can you?
Another lame-steam media attempt to dumb down the meaning of Natural Born Citizen to just place of birth.
“2 newspaper notices”
I’m so tired of this “evidence!” I was born in DC, when my Dad was winding down his work at the NACA. My Maternal Grandparents posted a birth announcement in The Akron Beacon Journal. My Paternal Grandparents placed an announcement in both The Cleveland Press, and The Plain Dealer. Birth announcements prove abdo-lutely NOTHIN’ pertaining to place of birth!
Hutchinson, Kansas newspaper will learn a tough lesson one of these days.
They are currently drinking the Kool-Aid.
Well more idiot JournOlistas doing what they do best spewing out BS.
Exactly.
Wow. HI’s SoS released a BC? How come I haven’t heard that before?
Can I use a copy of a birth announcement published in a newspaper when I apply for a drivers license renewal, or a job, or a passport? Or am I, in fact, required to present an official birth certificate with the state seal/embossment? Just askin’...
“Poll shows 3 atop race for 1st District House seat
7/14/2010
Salina Journal
A KWCH FactFinder poll conducted Saturday through Monday shows that Salinan Tracey Mann and state Sen. Jim Barnett in a tie at 25 percent each in the race for the 1st Congressional District House seat, while state Sen. Tim Huelskamp garnered 22 percent. The KWCH poll, conducted by SurveyUSA and released Wednesday, has a margin of error of 4.4 percent. The question “If the Republican primary for the U.S. House of Representatives were today, whom would you vote for?” was asked of 516 likely GOP primary voters.

We can see the Hutchinson News editorial board is made up of crack investigative reporters!!
Doesn’t really matter. Everyone else on the ballot is just as conservative as Mann is and for some reason people connect him with Moran so he could very well win anyway.
Actually that part is true. Both announcements named Comrade Obama's dad as Barack Obama, (a British Citizen from Kenya.)
Setting aside the fact that he wasn't going to be a NBC 9 months before he was birthed and ignoring all the controversy of the COLB, what exactly does the newspaper announcement prove? I've read both of the announcements and nowhere does either state his name. The announcement could be for Tom, Dick or Harry for all anyone can say. The announcements' value is that of birdcage liners.
Because after all there are millions of Obamas running around Hawaii, right?
