What are we to think of the video. First off, is it real. It looks like it could be a sophisticated chop-job. When he says the key phrase “I’m not an American citizen, I was born in Kenya”... he is facing away from the camera. So you don’t see him saying it.. You hear it. At the same time the phrase itself sounds choppy to me, like it may have been pieced together from other phrases.
If so, why would someone do such a thing. Most “birthers” are interested in the truth, in getting the facts. Perhaps a lefty created this as a false narrative, so that they could later discredit it, showing that the birther stuff is all nonsense. Or, perhaps some fanatic birther has just lost it, and gone rogue. Or, perhaps it *is* real.
Regardless, it is odd that it only surfaces here, mixed in with all the other old films. If it’s real, and it is just now coming to light it should be trimmed down to just the clip. And, ideally it would be good to hear something like 2 minutes leading up the remarks, and a minute afterwords: the remarks in context. Along with anntation or voice over explaining the date and location of the event.
Lacking all this I’m very sceptical and suspect that the tape is bullshit.
I have to agree. The first time I saw it, I completely dismissed it. I want to know where he was speaking and see the original tape.
