August 4, 2012, 6:00 a.m. WASHINGTON -- Still convinced President Obama wasn’t born in the United States?

A brand-new political committee will be happy to accept your donations to keep the theory alive.

The Conservative Majority Fund, set up a month ago by a political consultant, is sponsoring television ads that recycle some discredited conspiracy theories regarding Obama’s identity -- including suggestions that he’s using a phony Social Security number and a fake birth certificate.

“We know less about this man than any president in American history,” the ad says. “No one, I mean no one, has seen an actual physical copy of Barack Obama’s birth certificate.” It calls for a petition drive -- “we need 10,000 signatures from every congressional district” -- to boot Obama from the ballot.

The group’s website, which “demands Congress investigate Barack Obama’s forged birth certificate,” suggests donations from $25 to $2,500. This week, the group reported spending more than $500,000 to oppose “Barak [sic] Hussein Obama,” according to the organization’s Federal Election Commission filings, with most of the money going to a nationwide phone-call campaign.

“Theory”? Thanks for the laugh, Joey! This ignorant tripe from the same corrupt media that “demands” Romney prove he paid his taxes. Pathetic.

I have seen these ads locally and just love them.

I guess I am a bit jaded tho. It is the first time I have seen any TV advertising really go after Obama.

There is just no way the L.A. Slimes can honestly say these charges are unproven. Most of the ads talk about everything in his past which Obama has sealed.

They are either sealed or they are not. If the jackasses in L.A. have any evidence they are not sealed they should just say what it is.

He doesn’t want to do that because it would show that the record is legally non-valid.

As I just posted over at LA Times:

“Discredited”? A law enforcement body has found probable cause for those things (forgery and SSN fraud) and is conducting a criminal investigation to find out exactly who committed those crimes.

I wouldn’t call that “discredited”. I’d call it “confirmed”.

And the HI State Registrar refused to verify for AZ SOS Ken Bennett Obama’s birth date, gender, city of birth, island of birth, mother’s name, and father’s name. The only reason allowable by law for him to refuse to verify those facts is if the facts submitted for verification aren’t legally true.

IOW, Hawaii itself has legally verified that there are big, big problems with Obama’s record in Hawaii.

I don’t think this is a very good strategy - as far as running ads. This is not going to turn the election and can only generate a lot of negative publicity and a bunch of questions for our candidates “Do you distance yourself from these ads?”, etc. An unneeded distraction. I would rather they run ads highlighting individual devastating aspects of Obamacare - such as an ad about the medical device tax - how that has already caused lost jobs, will cause their to be less equipment available to treat people with and more expensive, etc. Pocketbook issues - $$$ - get people’s attention and they can understand it more easily. Something like this is too complicated for ads. I’ve never bought into the birther issue...although with overseas newspapers congratulating “Kenyan Born” Obama those who had reason to question it aren’t crazy, and remember this started with the Dem side of the isle, not the GOP side - facts the MSM leaves out to make it look like people on the right just made this up because they don’t like Obama. I think something is being covered up - but not where he was born...not sure what it could be. In any event, regardless...too complicated of an issue for ads and not a good issue that could turn the election and the press will try to make it the main news story to distract from the economy, debt, etc. This type of thing is just what the Obama campaign and the DNC ordered...let’s please not fall into a trap.

The jerks removed my comment. I’ve got photos of the screen with my comment there, and now you can look and see that it isn’t.

Here’s C&P from the page while it still had my comment (you can see the time and context, which shows it was deleted by somebody at LA Times:

How about releasing the videotape of the toast me made at the Islamic dinner years ago that The L.A. Times bought the rights to and has hiddeen from the American public for four years now. Let’s also see why Obama’s social security nuber is registered to The State of Conniticut. His College records, his birth certificate

OK, the FAQ says they moderate the comments so they might not show up for a while. I didn’t see that anywhere on the page where you post. Hopefully it’ll show up soon.

‘I don’t think this is a very good strategy’

What is so complicated about proving the document provided by the administration is a forgery?

Well... as it stands right now, Hawaii has indirectly confirmed through a legal document (verification to AZ SOS Ken Bennett) that the discloseable HI birth record for Obama is legally non-valid (see my earlier post in this thread), which according to HI law would be because it is late and/or altered.

That creates a legal problem, because that BC has no legal/probative value and never will unless and until it is submitted as evidence to a judicial or administrative person or body and determined to be probative. According to Hawaii law, which is binding according to the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the US Constitution.

IOW, there are no legally-determined birth facts for Obama. Not one person can LEGALLY say that Obama is even old enough to be President, much less a natural born citizen.

Anybody who swears on an Official Certification of Nomination that Obama is the “duly chosen candidate of the DNC” will commit both perjury and election fraud, and any SOS who accepts it will be committing misprision of those felonies. Provided they have all been informed of these facts - which they will.

I don’t know if advertisements are the right way to address this issue. Depends on whether we have anybody in law enforcement who would prosecute the crimes that are soon to be committed in full sight of everyone. If the DNC and state SOS’s know there is no accountability they may just ignore this. Unless there is public awareness and pressure on them to obey the laws, which is what ads could help provide.

Those who want Baraq will vote for Baraq and those who don’t, won’t.

I don’t think there is anything that Baraq could do, or info that could be proven about him, that would significantly affect his vote total in this election.

Proving it isn’t complicated at all - since HI State Registrar Alvin Onaka indirectly confirmed it himself, by refusing to verify that the BC Obama posted is a “true and accurate representation of the original record on file”.

And he actually did even worse than that. He also indirectly confirmed that the record they DO have for Obama is legally non-valid (see my earlier post in this thread).

What’s challenging is getting it to matter in a legal sense, in a situation where the entire system has been taken over by Soros’ thugs and all the legally-accountable people are too afraid of the LA Times (and the rest of the lying media) to actually obey the laws.

I disagree. We hear everyday from people who voted for him in '08 and are not going to vote for him in '12. It is people like that who we need to reach to change their minds.

Well, they might, IF, he's on their ballot.
