Adelaide man caught up in bid to oust Obama
Dina Rosendorff reported this story on Tuesday, August 4, 2009 18:36:00


The fake Kenyan birth document has been circulated by political opponents of Obama's, called the Birthers, who are out to unseat him.

A growing online community who are against the Birthers quickly picked apart the bogus birth certificate and traced it back to about as far from Kenya as you can get - Thebarton Community Hospital at Mile End in South Australia and David Jeffrey Bomford.

As for the unsuspecting man at the centre of the political storm, he says he's not a Birther - just a public service clerk from Adelaide.

DAVID JEFFREY BOMFORD: It's little old me and my mum and everything else up there. Oh I definitely confirm that the birth certificate was mine. That was quite easy to see - my address, even the style of the birth certificate was an old South Australian one.

So it's quite easy to identify that it's mine.

DINA ROSENDORFF: And looking at the fake Kenyan birth certificate what do you make of it?

DAVID JEFFREY BOMFORD: It's definitely a copy of my certificate. It's so laughable it's ridiculous.

-snip

DINA ROSENDORFF: Mr Bomford agrees with the experts and says he'll definitely be removing it from the website.

DAVID JEFFREY BOMFORD: I'm very surprised at how anyone would even find it on the net unless they were looking for something like that because it's buried on a little known research site that's particularly for my family.

So I was very, very surprised that anyone would even find it on the net. I'll be certainly contacting my friend who runs that web and asking him to remove it.

2. Clearly, the Obama brownshirts have gotten to this man, if he exists.

3. Hey Freep-holes, where's your thread on this story?

They unrec, but they don't remark.

4. Yeah, this OP started being unrecced almost immediately after I posted it nt

5. I'll add a K & R. I saw 2 of those crazy birthers on DU yesterday.

What a waste of time for them to post their idiocy here.

6. Happened to me the other day when I posted a list of names that wouldn't be "natural-born"

if Orly et al knew what they were talking about. Totally benign, anti-birther facts.

Either some here are Freeper trolls, or some feel we are only encouraging them. Not sure which. BTW, the Freeper reaction to this story now is that this old Aussie is in on the conspiracy. Astonishing, but that's how these things go I guess. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2307802/posts

9. It could be DUers who are just sick of the birther story

Me? I find the birthers fascinating, but I can understand that others just don't like the story.

Why does every thread have to including whining about rec and unrecs?

8. The Freepers still think the Australian BC is a fraud

Some of the old timers are calling bullshit more vocally on the Birthers, but the Birthers outnumber them.

Rim Jobinson is between a rock and a hard place.

On the one side he has allowed the Birther movement free reign on his site to the point where they have taken over and driven out those old timers who never bought into the BS.

On the other side are the people who generally donate to his site no longer donating.

The way I see it, for the long haul, Rim Jobinson has to ban the Birther movement from his site or it will die in the not so long term.

But then, Rim Jobinson actually beleives the Birther bullshit.

What's a nutburger to do?

10. Nothing He Can Do - Moderation By Purge Takes A Toll

There are non-birthers left at FR?

That's a pretty amazing story in itself.

I'm surprised they have not excommunicated the unbelievers.

11. What fools. Yesterday I was upset at all the media attention this is getting, but

perhaps airing the stupidity is ultimately a good thing.

12. Those pesky facts keep getting in the way of their reality

I just like thinking that somewhere, someone has cashed a large check from the Birthers and is laughing their ass off.

14. It won't stop the from falling..

hook, line and sinker for the next forgery or kooky charlatan.
