An interesting bit about Barry's citizenship
« on: June 25, 2008, 07:24:04 PM »
I wonder how credible this Israeli website is?  They are questioning Barry's US citizenship.  Does anybody think there is something to this?  True or not, it will gain little traction in the US.

Full story is here:  http://web.israelinsider.com/Articles/Politics/12939.htm

First part of story follows:

Faked certificate suggests that Obama may not be "natural born" US citizen
By Reuven Koret  June 24, 2008
 
It is now a certainty that the "birth certificate" claimed by the Barack Obama campaign as authentic is a photoshopped fake.

The image, purporting to come from the Hawaii Department of Health, has been the subject of intense skepticism in the blogosphere in the past two weeks. But now the senior spokesman of that Department has confirmed to Israel Insider what are the required features of a certified birth document -- features that Obama's purported "birth certificate" clearly lack.

The image became increasingly suspect with Israel Insider's revelation that variations of the certificate image were posted on the Photobucket image aggregation website -- including one listing the location of Obama's birth as Antarctica, one with the certificate supposedly issued by the government of North Korea, and another including a purported photo of baby Barack -- one of which has a "photo taken" time-stamp just two minutes before the article and accompanying image was posted on the left-wing Daily Kos blog.

That strongly suggests that Daily Kos obtained the image from Photobucket, not the State of Hawaii, the Obama family, or the Obama campaign. Photobucket is not generally known as a credible supplier of official vital records for any of the fifty states, and the liberties that other Photoshoppers took with the certificates confirms this.

Some of these oddities surfaced in Israel Insider's previous article on the subject, but new comparative documentary evidence presented below, and official verification obtained by Israel Insider from a senior Hawaiian official, provides the strongest confirmation yet.

This is the same website that fraudulently claimed Obama's half-brother identified Barack as Muslim.  It is apparently a rumor mill site.

It's definitely a rumour mill site, shootingstudent.

And the idea it's somehow Israel's prime news-source is absolutely deranged.

I'm seriously hoping this was posted just for comedic value. Nobody is silly enough to really believe that male bovine animal feces, are they?

Well, after all the ruckus about McCain being born on a US military base in Panama, it's only fair to run Obama through the same wringer.

Wait, why is that fair???

Because one candidate has been accused of something, the very same accusation should be completely manufactured against the other?

I guess since Obama has been accused of being Muslim, it's only fair to accuse McCain of being converted to dogmatic communism by his North Vietnamese captors.  After all, we should run him through the same wringer-maybe we can even accuse McCain of being a closet scientologist, closet disciple of Warren Jeffs (he spent some time in Arizona, didn't he?), or something similar.

I would rather efforts be focused on the fact that Obama is a Marxist.

This sort of rumor stuff just feeds the Left.

There is enough stuff out there that is legit to pick on Obama about.  There is no need to manufacture crap.
There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

I have seen that one before.  "Manchurian Candidate" & all.

Hogwash, just like the OP's subject.

Sometimes, even rumor-mill websites hit paydirt . . . sort of like a broken clock being right twice a day.

If there's no basis to this and it's all just a bunch of made-up nonsense, then the B. Hussein Obama camp ought to have exactly zero problem shooting this down.

If they don't do so  promptly . . . either 1) they know it's total BS and are waiting for McCain to bring it up so they can discredit him; or 2) maybe there's some basis to it.

Okay. WHY EVER BOTHER. Rumors are what the left loves to point at.

Just focus on the facts. He's a Marxist. Make sure everyone knows how much.

Go ahead and kill it, Mike.  Everyone answered my question in posting it.  The concensus is that it is a bogus source.
