Wingnut Hawai'i Blog Site On Obama's Birth Certificate

Barack Obama: Born in Hawai`i
By Andrew Walden @ 11:34 PM :: 131 Views
By Andrew Walden

A fairly impressive internet industry has sprung up claiming that Obama was born in either Kenya or Indonesia. This is nonsense which distracts from the broadly unexplored story of Obama’s upbringing. This kind of nonsense has emerged because the McCain campaign chose not to raise the many questions about Barack Obama’s numerous hard-left alliances. Barack Obama was born in Hawai`i, August 4, 1961 at Kapiolani Medical Center in Honolulu.

Obama’s birth certificate posted online is exactly the same birth certificate everybody in Hawai`i gets from the State Department of Health. It is not forged. There is nothing unusual about the design or the texture. In addition to the birth certificate, the August 13, 1961 Honolulu Advertiser also carries an announcement of Obama’s birth. The Honolulu Star-Bulletin also carries the same announcement. Both papers require submission of a copy of the birth certificate to print a birth announcement.

By refusing media requests for a look at the actual paper birth certificate, Obama’s campaign gave sly backhanded assistance to the forgery hype. The internet release of the birth certificate via hyper-partisan website Daily Kos on June 12 before posting it on a campaign website was likely calculated to fuel the frenzy. This is Obama’s Gramscian strategy designed to redirect the opposition down a blind alley. It was so successful that Hawai`i government offices found themselves inundated with telephone calls from mainland voters in the days before the November 4 election.

Since Hawai`i law forbids the release of birth certificates to anybody not authorized by Barack Obama or his family, Obama further feeds the paranoia by choosing not to grant such permissions. A World Net Daily story claiming Hawai`i’s Republican Governor Linda Lingle ‘sealed’ the birth certificate is totally false. The governor’s office has asked for a retraction. The forgery story was also boosted by video claims that Obama’s Kenyan grandmother, stated that Obama “is a son of this village”—a phrase which can have many different meanings.

2. Well, they HALF get it
I don't buy for a second that this was some elaborate scheme by Obama to trick people into wasting time chasing the phony birth certificate story. Just stupid people grasping at straws.

Obama saw a bunch of wingnuts spinning their wheels. They released the certificate in a way to insure teh same wingnuts would spin their wheels, but would also outrage the rational people.

so, here we are, three days after the election, and we have the following responses on Free Republic over this article:

Obama could end this real fast. Show the BC. The one shown on the internet couldn’t be his because no one has access to it other than Obama. It also doesn’t show who his father was.

Great news! So Obama won’t have any trouble producing it for the Electoral college, will he?

Yeah, I don’t understand why he doesn’t release his BC if he wants this controversy to go away. I’m sure it will be released later after a new one is created.

This person is deaf, dumb and blind. They have already proved the bc shown online is a forgery.

No, it wasn't.

It is not forged.
Yes, it was.

There is nothing unusual about the design or the texture.
There was plenty wrong with the design, layout, and texture (of the border).

The typeset on the birth certificate pictured on the internet is in the arial font. That font didn’t exist in 1963.

4. Pretty funny when wingnuts can't stomach the nuttiness of even nuttier wingnuts.
And I love it the way this author trys to lay some of the blame for the nuttiness on the Obama campaign itself. So Obama is supposed to protects these whackjobs from themselves, in other words.
What ever happened to "personal responsibility"?

5. It may have been smarter not to release it...

...to the endless and contradictory analyses by self-styled "experts." Of course, that feeds into conspiracy theories, but these are theories based on a lack of evidence rather than deliberate misinterpretation of a record.

It's all distraction, though, to make us forget that only one candidate had a birth certificate.

6. Something I've noticed....
Having blogged about the "Cult of the COLB" since July, I can say this:

There is NOT level of evidence they will aceept to prove the birth certificate is legit. None. The minute any evidence shows up to prove it, "Polarik", "TechDude", and the like are busy spinning a new and even more out there reason to disbelieve it. Just like Berg ignores any aspect of US law that disagrees with his and "Judah Benjamin's" theory that Obama lost his US citizenship when "adopted" by Lolo Soetoro.

*REAL* document experts have reviewed their work and blown holes in it you could sail a Nimitz-class carrier battle group though. They just wave their hands and say those experts are "covering for Obama". And right now they're claiming the Hawaiian state governor (a Republican who campaigned for McCain) is helping Obama in this coverup.

They're not interested in the truth, they're interested in trying to throw something and see if it sticks.
