Yahoo/Daily Caller - Singer Pat Boone insists Obama born in Kenya
Read the whole article at: http://news.yahoo.com/singer-pat-boone-insists-obama-born-kenya-141751702.html

President Barack Obama may have released his birth certificate this spring to debunk rumors that he was born outside the United States, but old school crooner Pat Boone maintains that our nation’s leader originated in Africa and has shown the world “a photo-shopped fraud.”

Speaking to the San Francisco Chronicle, the Beverly Hills tea party member said he interacted with Kenyans a while back who claim Obama was born in Kenya.

“I was in Kenya a year and a half ago and everybody said, ‘You know, he was born here,”’ Boone told the northern California-based publication at a California GOP event last week.

The singer argued that the president is putting millions towards “hiding all of his records” and that esteemed “experts” have dubbed the certificate a fake.

****

Does anyone remember ten years ago, when the GOP wanted to remove the natural born citizenship for the Presidency from the Constitution so Arnold could run?

1. Boone has just further proven that he's a delusional bonehead.
As if any DUers needed any further evidence.

3. or

5. Put up or SHUT UP ... display YOUR proof
that he was born in Kenya, that should be simple enough if true.

10. Another lunatic. I think Kenyans may have said that only because
they are misinformed or would like to think so.

21. What I was thinking
Kenyans just being proud of him and not realizing that saying that is not going to help him much!

34. No, they are as well informed on the subject as we are

I was trying to see if I could find someone to sell me an old birth certificate, to make another fake Kenyan birth certificate to punk the birthers, and the uniform response I got to the question was laughter.

33. No, it's bullshit

I was in Nairobi last year and the notion of President Obama being born in Kenya will get you funny looks.

One guy said to me,'"People don't really believe that, do they?"

The most interesting question I got from some Kenyan businessmen was, "How did he beat Hillary Clinton?"

Pat Boone, of course, is a nut and someone in Kenya was blowing smoke up his ass.

I was curious to know if Kenyans were aware of the birther thing, and it draws laughs there as much as it does here.

25. It's just like I feel about Ted Nugent
http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/ted-nugent-threatens-to-kill-barack-obama-and-hillary-clinton-during-vicious-onstage-rant-20070824

By Elizabeth Goodman
August 24, 2007 1:20 PM ET

Renegade right-winger Ted Nugent recently went on a vicious onstage rant in which he threatened the lives of Democratic presidential candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Decked out in full-on camouflage hunting gear, Nugent wielded two machine guns while raging, "Obama, he's a piece of shit. I told him to suck on my machine gun. Hey Hillary," he continued. "You might want to ride one of these into the sunset, you worthless bitch." Nugent summed up his eloquent speech by screaming "freedom!"

13. Hey Pat,
when you beat a dead horse, you get tired arms.

He must have a new record coming out. "Pat Boone Sings the Hit of Lee Greenwood." With special guest Toby Keith.

15. For a guy who made a fortune singing dumbed-down and sissified versions of Black artists work,
he should pipe down.

He owes everything he has to the black musicians he ripped off.

What an old, out of touch fool he is.

You know what pisses me off about this...?
Jon Stewart & TDS wins Emmy after Emmy for comedy writing.

Shit like Boone saying Obama was born in Kenya just fucking writes itself! It writes it's own comedy.

All Jon and his writers have to do is read the news item, Jon mugs the camera and says "Whaaaaaa???" and it's comedy gold.

I tell ya.. it's money for nuthin' and yer chicks fer free....

Oh... Boone is a moron!

27. I insist as many others do that Pat Boone owes his career to stealing the music
that wasn't his. That's how he made his money, and it is the only reason that
anyone listens to anything he has to say, although I don't.

Ha ha ha ha! Pat Boone is getting so close to being in fashion, he's almost caught it. Run faster, Pat, run faster!!
