Why Kenyan Birth Claim Was No 'Fact Checking Error'
American Thinker ^ | MAY 18, 2012 | Jack Cashill

Posted on 05/18/2012 11:33:25 PM PDT by RobinMasters

No sooner did the literary agency brochure in which Barack Obama was said to be Kenyan-born surface than the media went to work to deep-six it.

"This was nothing more than a fact checking error by me - an agency assistant at the time," Miriam Goderich, now a named partner in the literary agency, Dystel & Goderich, wrote in an emailed statement to Yahoo News, which was then picked up ABC News. "There was never any information given to us by Obama in any of his correspondence or other communications suggesting in any way that he was born in Kenya and not Hawaii. I hope you can communicate to your readers that this was a simple mistake and nothing more."

This confession rings false to the point of preposterous for any number of reasons. Let us start with the obvious. At the time, 1991, the Acton & Dystel agency listed 90 clients, Obama among its least significant. How likely is it that Goderich would have remembered enough about a 1991 "error" to know it was hers, especially since it went uncorrected through several revisions until changed in 2007? To make this claim credible, there would have to be an existing paper trail leading to an Obama submission in which he lists an Hawaiian birth. I am confident that there is no such submission.

YOU can have a "nice life" and play the ostrich like the rest of the 0bamunist Ministry of Information (aka the lamestream media) but REAL patriots are going to raise holy effin Hell about this, but don't worry: we'll let you know when it's safe to come out from under your bed.

Bravo!!

Every so-called “fact” about his parentage is a lie.

I think usconservative could very likely be a troll for Axelrod, or any one of 0bama’s sockpuppets, outrageous you say?


Not in the least! I was thinking the same.

If you read between the lines it is pretty clear to me that his family was involved with the Spooks.

It makes for a convoluted trail of stories.

The only way anything is going to come of any of this is if the powers that be on the throne decide that it is time for Obama to go.

Even then, you won’t learn much.

My conjecture is that Obama was a foreign student due to the “story” of Ann..or maybe even possibly Obama’s “story”. Not sure if he was involved with the spooks but he is certainly a byproduct.

Btw, why didn’t this info come out sooner about the publisher??? Just how did Breitbart come across this info and when???

Some of us can walk and chew gum at the same time.

I don't think there is a significant downside to both revealing Obama's dangerously flawed character as well as discussing his abysmal performance and how his policies have seriously hurt Americans. On the contrary, if all we do is focus on the economy what do we have when the regime and the media torture the data enough to show the economy is "improving" and the voters who don't follow this closely believe it?

I think we can and we should attack Obama in all ways possible.

Bear in mind that usconservative holds the same position as Limbaugh and Levin (and Medved and Bennett).

Just pointing it out, not opining.

I hope you know my comments were meant to expose the perversion of those who refuse to see the obvious. For the record, (and this is not tongue-in-cheek), I believe Obama was born in Kenya, is Constitutionally ineligible to be President of the United States, and is the most dangerous person ever to inhabit the white house. He is a congenital liar, marxist, and redistributionist. My comments were meant to be seen as those, like Jonas Goldberg, who I saw this morning of Fox, who began is comments with, "I am not a birther, but.....". Why feel the need to put the predicate out there....if not to innoculate from the agreed-upon assumption that Obama cannot be from Kenya because of not other evidence but that Obamaites demand that this notion is off limits, and the conservatives toe the line. It is disgusting. Lets not stifle conversation, let us have more conversation on this subject.

But remember, because I want liberals to like me, I am not a birther.....

I wonder if all these early “supporters” of Obama did it because they knew he was Malcolm X’s son?

That's fine, it just means they're ALL wrong, some for one reason, some for another.

Not birther issue again. Yes, it really is that simple. Stop being tool's of Obama and Axelrod's campaign of distraction!

Always felt the so called birther issue was a red herring ... to deflect attention away from the real issue ... Barak Jr. was the son of Barak Hussein Obama Sr. a foreign national ... therefore doesn't qualify to hold the highest political office in the US.
That said the birthers in the past few days have gained much credibility because at one point in Obummers narrative he claimed to have been born in Kenya, then as circumstances changed (a result of his political ambition) now claims Hawaii his place of birth ... so birthers have a logical claim insisting the 'chosen one' prove irrefutably that he was born in Hawaii. That doesn't change the fact his father was a foreign national (see above) but does give credence to the birther crowd.

“I’ll tell you why. I think usconservative could very likely be a troll for Axelrod, or any one of 0bama’s sockpuppets.”

I think you have solved it. Usconservative must have also uncovered the white girlfriend and told Jeremiah Wright to reappear now. What a coincidence all this is happening just as the campaign is heating up.

Ping.................

Now what makes these people call themselves liars. Fear of reprisals? Threats? Money? Ideology? It is inexplicable to me.

Most of the above. This constitutes an offer you can't refuse. Do as you're told and the reward is that you, your family and making a living are secure. In addition, here's a good amount of tax-free money, say, tens or hundreds of thousands.

How many people would turn down the above offer AND prefer to go against 0b0z0/H0lder/thugs crooked government power?

People who doubt the power of "persuasion" of that kind of "offer" should try to put themselves in the threatened shoes and assess their own reaction. They will be scared to death and decide to go along rather than dangerous alternative.

First, I am Not a birther.

No conservative should call another a "birther," period. Calling conservative FReepers "birthers," is to use the Alinskyite communists’ tactic of "Ridicule" against their own. Well, the name-callers deserve the label "0b0ts" because they are doing the communists' bidding, pure and simple.

I always believed that the education records, i.e., applications, transcripts, etc., are the Achilles Heel of 0fag0t. The MSM's tailor-made story of the most brilliant ONE to occupy the BathHouse is being peeled like an onion and what's left is the ugly truth.

0b0z0 will be shown as the dumb, negative-IQ, Communist, uneducated fagg0t that he is! That will put him in a padded room the rest of his miserable life.

Yesterday on FNC's "Hannity," I heard the best concise explanation/description of what 0b0z0 wants to do America. "He wants to give America a lesson!" I know that destroying America is that lesson.

We will give 0h0m0 and his communist thugs the lesson of NOT DARE give us a lesson! Their dream of destroying the Republic, which they will never forgive for destroying their beloved world Communism, will be stopped dead by patriots who will always "cling" to their Republic and its Constitution.

Oh I understood exactly what you were saying from the beginning, and it's my view that when anyone, be they talking head on the tube, or someone at the office water cooler begins their conversation with "I am not a birther" they not only play into the hands of the 0bamunists who have tried vainly to keep this issue minimized, indeed they validate those ass clowns and deceivers who are all ready to fall on their liddle wooden swords for that sad sack o' Kenyan shit in the White House.

Here's what I want liberals to do: I want them to effin DESPISE me, because liberals have no respect and no regard for our Constitution, nor for our endangered Republic, and I hold that sacred Document high, and only slightly lower than the Word of God Itself. If liberals or the money grubbing enablers don't like that, they can KMFA.

I AM A BIRTHER AND DAMN PROUD OF IT

On Hannity David Webb also made a very cogent point. There is a difference between someone who is a victim of circumstances and someone who makes choices.

The progs would have you believe that Obama was a victim of being abandoned by his parents to be raised by his white grandparents who didn’t understand his situation.

Webb states very clearly that Obama made choices in his life and sought out mentors (FMD, Bill Ayers, other radicals, J. Wright etc). This truly tells us who Obama is, someone comfortable associating with Marxists and black separatists!

Obama may have thought that he dodged a bullet in 2008, but in 2012 he will be confronted with the lies that he used to mollify independents and white voters leading them to believe this guy was a moderate, rational intellect.

Where did KENYA come from...why not Uganda or Ethiopa or Somalia or Congo? She didn’t make the country of origin up from thin air...

Limbaugh and Levin will have to admit that the evidence now is far, far more than circumstantial.

On a recent show, maybe Friday (but definitely after this claim of Kenyan birth was released), Rush stated in no uncertain terms that he believed that Obama was born in Hawaii.
