News withdraws endorsement of Tracey Mann for 'birther' views

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.

Just another example that the lamestream media aren’t interested in the truth. To paraphrase: “They can’t handle the truth!”.

Actually that part is true. Both announcements named Comrade Obama's dad as Barack Obama, (a British Citizen from Kenya.)

1) If the Kenyan, Barack Obama, Sr., is the biological father

2) If the un-named son that was mentioned in the announcements was in fact The Won.

Bottom line, the announcements are worthless.

It’s a Birth Certificate post......

You on the clock, now?

The announcements do show that his father of record was Barack Obama, not unknown as some have speculated. But the announcements don’t prove a thing about where the birth took place. Even if the address is the real thing (and I don’t doubt it), it’s just the couple’s address as given to the newspaper by the person who placed the announcement, whoever that might have been.

If you are Mexican, then yes.

After-birthers push the fake COLB which says his dad was the non-citizen, Barack Obama Sr, and they use the newspaper announcements as support.

Let's just agree with them that Barack Obama Sr was the father of Barack Obama the Resident.

No, the announcements only show that supposedly Barack Obama (Sr.) had a son. The announcements do not name this son. BTW, I agree with the rest of your post.

[Genoa]

I don’t follow. Who else would the son have been?

[PA-RIVER]

I think Non-Seq used his birth announcement to get a passport, pilots license, and visa for a mail order hotty he has living in his attic.

I drive an 18 wheeler and use my Birth announcement for ID. It also gets me into the YMCA and Hooters.

Because after all there are millions of Obamas running around Hawaii, right?

There must be because there's dozens of Social Security Numbers for all those Barack Hussein Obamas.

Yeh, but how many of them are in HI's block of issue? Seems he's more fond of being a long dead resident of CT.

[PA-RIVER]

Maybe Barak Abdallah Sotoroe Obama Husisein Muhammed has multiple personalities?

And each one applied for a social security number? In several countries? In several states?

Its probably normal. No?

[PA-RIVER]

Maybe living on the “Down Low” he needed to have multiple SS numbers. Who are we to judge?

"evidence that is irrefutable"

Really? No, seriously....really?

these are the original two that "vouched" for it:

Jess Henig has an M.A. in English Literature.
Joe Miller has a Ph. D. in Political Philosophy.

In part, they state back in August of 2008: "FactCheck.org staffers have now seen, touched, examined and photographed the original birth certificate." http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/born_in_the_usa.html

The Obama birth certificate, held by FactCheck writer Joe Miller.

That is a bald faced lie. They didn't "touch, examine or photograph his "original birth certificate" as THEY claim. What they are holding there is NOT a copy of an ORIGINAL b.c. Their entire analysis BEGINS with a lie.

"“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!

---------------------------------------------------------------

Not to mention, they don't prove the usurper is a "natural born citizen" for AII,S1,C5 purposes.

[faucetman]

Just mention birth certificate and up pops Non-Sequitur

How much does that job pay? Defending the illegal alien, marxist, socialist, fly attracting fraud, that is.

[bgill]

I don’t follow. Who else would the son have been?

Flat out, the announcements are probably as fake as the Factcheck COLB. Don't you find it strange that no one has been able to provide an original issue of either newspaper?

[bgill]

LOL!

[SvenMagnussen]

Stop or Bob Gibbs will eat his thumb!

It's more of a hobby. I find Birthers endlessly amusing.
