Trump CRUCIFIES media for investigating Scott Walker's college record after giving Obama a pass

[Faun]

Why do you think that any of us would know where that statement came from?

Hmm...who said Obama was born in Kenya ?

I am not a Birther- so I don't rely upon lies, speculation or innuendo.

What we know is that the editor of the article said it was her mistake- anything beyond that is speculation or a lie or an innuendo.


The editor of the biographical text about Barack Obama which was included in the booklet maintained that the mention of Kenya was an error on her part and was not based on any information provided to her by Obama himself:
Miriam Goderich edited the text of the bio; she is now a partner at the Dystel & Goderich agency, which lists Obama as one of its current clients.

"You're undoubtedly aware of the brouhaha stirred up by Breitbart about the erroneous statement in a client list Acton & Dystel published in 1991 (for circulation within the publishing industry only) that Barack Obama was born in Kenya. This was nothing more than a fact checking error by me — an agency assistant at the time," Goderich wrote. "There was never any information given to us by Obama in any of his correspondence or other communications suggesting in any way that he was born in Kenya and not Hawaii. I hope you can communicate to your readers that this was a simple mistake and nothing more."

Who made the mistake? Who took a blank piece of paper and with no information wrote down the author ... was born in Kenya?

Who wrote that he was born in Kenya?

How do you forget to check a fact like that in a ... wait for it ... blurb?

You can't rule out Obama telling those publications he was born in Hawaii at the time when he was actually born in Kenya.

I think we can rule out any possibility of you having a brain.

 

[Liminal]

Actually, as an eyewitness, her statement is 'proof'.

While all you have to support your claim is well- you- who have no first hand knowledge about anything.

Show me the legal standard that says testimony of an "eyewitness" is "proof."

And not only is she by her own account a completely incompetent fact checker, which her employer apparently didn't care about, her testimony leaves a huge gaping hole in her story. Who is the original birther? Who wrote that Obama was born in Kenya and handed it to the inept professional fact checker who couldn't successfully fact check a blurb? Was it Meriam? Was it aliens? Was there one birther? Or was there a second birther? What say you?

What I have said consistantly

I am not a Birther- so I don't rely upon speculation, innuendo or lies.

What are the facts as we know them?

a) In publications starting in 1990 and going through the present day, President Obama's place of birth is referred to as Hawaii.
b) In 1991 a brochure was printed out, and Barack Obama was one of 20 or so authors or aspiring authors described in the brochure, and the brochure said he was born in Kenya.
c) In 2011 Breitbart found the pamphlet and published it.
d) The editor of the brochure said that the reference was her error- and that Obama never said he was born in Kenya.

Her statement would be admissable evidence in a court.

Your speculation would be just what it is- speculation pulled out of your ass.

Speculation? Someone wrote that Obama was born in Kenya. You can believe:

1) Someone made it up AND Meriam turned out to be a completely incompetent fact checker who couldn't fact check a ... blurb.

or

2) Obama said he was born in Kenya and no one questioned it.

The second is far more likely

Here, on planet reality, you have no clue of what you speak. Need I remind you, you were earlier [erroneously] claiming that it had something to with his autobiography? Then you flat out falsely claimed he was the source of that misinformation despite your tacit confession since that you lied when you said it. That pretty much renders you among the least qualified person here to determine the most likely source for that mistake.

No one actually believes he was born in Kenya, some people just like the way it sounds.

 

[Liminal]

Not to belabor the point, but until you can prove Obama said that, you are still lying by claiming he did. And whether you're capable of comprehending this or not .... not getting an answer to a question that no one here can answer (including you) does not in any way constitute proof.

LOL, the flaming hypocrisy, you have no shame. National Guard, Yellow Cake, Halliburton, the ridiculous allegations and assumption of guilt and suddenly this is a standard to you. And Democrats were the original birthers with McCain, Obama was AFTER that. And the McCain one was across your party. Only a few radical nuts say Obama's not legitimately President. I think he was born in Hawaii, I just think he's a pretentious ass who liked the sound of being born in Kenya. And even if he were born in Kenya, his mother was American, he was born and American. I am not questioning the legitimacy of his Presidency, but yeah, Obama is responsible for the fiasco. Meriam gave no explanation other than she was too incompetent to fact check a blurb. And she did not say she made up the Kenya or who did. And no one explained why they used it for 16 years. Yeah, it's on Obama to explain that.

All the deflection in the world will not alter that fact that you are lying when you claim Obama said he was born in Kenya.

This is why liberals hate Christians so much, there can be only one God. Yours is government. Conservative Christians say we all know Jesus is true, if you deny it, you are lying. Liberals are the same with government. We all know that Government is right, if we deny it, we are liars. The inherent truth of liberalism. You are so like Christians it's funny.

Fortunately we have conservative Christians to tell us who the real liberals are while defining faith for everyone as well. When you're right you're right, and you're always right.

For the ten thousandth time - If obama didn't tell her he was born in kenya, where did miriam get the idea he was.?

Why won't you answer that ? Because you know obozo must have told her he was born in kenya.

 

[ShootSpeeders]

Maybe she was told he was born in Kenya. So what? According to her, that still didn't come from Obama.

Hey einsten. Literary agencies don't just print something because anonymous source told them. That can lead embarrassment and even charges of fraud. The agency must have checked out this story and decided O was in fact born in kenya. They prolly contacted harvard.

Lots of people believe it as the evidence is very strong if not ironclad. What is 100% true is that obama has claimed in the past that he was born in kenya. That's how he got into harvard and got a scholarship. That and affirmative action.

[Faun]

Going back to the beginning:

KAZ: Wow you're stupid. None of us said Obama was born in Kenya, we said Obama was the first to say he was. Again, literacy,

Me: You said Obama was the first to say he was born in Kenya, but Obama never said he was born in Kenya.

KAZ: It was his autobiography, Buckwheat, no one makes up where someone is born.

Me: His autobiography. which was not published until 1995- said he was born in Hawaii.


Like I said- Obama never said he was born in Kenya in any autobiography.

Here let me break this down even further for you

KAZ:
None of us said Obama was born in Kenya, we said Obama was the first to say he was...It was his autobiography, Buckwheat, no one makes up where someone is born.

Exactly, Obama was the original Birther. And he lied when he said it. He was born in Hawaii. He's a pretentious liar and a moron and if a Republican did that you people would never shut up about it.

No- that would be you lying again.

Obama never said that he was born in Kenya

You just lied about it.

No-that would be you lying again.

You don't know Obama never said he was born in Kenya

You just lied about it

You must be rightarded to invent that twisted logic. The person who wrote it said Obama never conveyed to her that he was born in Kenya. So it is not a lie to state Obama didn't tell her.

And you blindly believe her every word as fact based on what? If she said Obama told her that you'd be shrieking what a liar she is. You only believe her because she said what you wanted to hear.

I can't help you're such an idiot. There is no reason not to believe her. There is no reason Obama, who was born in Hawaii, would have told her he was born in Kenya. There is no evidence she is lying. There is no evidence you are honest. Put that all together and what emerges is that you're nothing but a disgruntled rightard who is frustrated that you looked like an imbecile yesterday in your failed attempt to connect that pamphlet to his autobiography and can't produce anything to back up your failed claim that Obama was the source for that mistake.

 

[Faun]

All the deflection in the world will not alter that fact that you are lying when you claim Obama said he was born in Kenya.

For the ten thousandth time - If obama didn't tell her he was born in kenya, where did miriam get the idea he was.?

Why won't you answer that ? Because you know obozo must have told her he was born in kenya.

You are thoroughly confused. It's not that I won't answer it, as you falsely portray ... it's that I can't answer it since I wasn't present with her when she discovered that and she hasn't revealed her source. I why would I "know" someone who was born in Hawaii would tell her he was born in Kenya?

 

[Faun]

Who wrote that he was born in Kenya?

How do you forget to check a fact like that in a ... wait for it ... blurb?

Meriam Goderich.

She did? When did she say that?

When she put it in print in this pamphlet ...

 

[kaz]

There is no reason not to believe her.

Sure there is. Her employer paid her to fact check blurbs and she couldn't accurately fact check a paragraph. Also, if she said Obama said he was born in Kenya, the left would have ravaged her. Look at what you people did to to Kathleen Wiley, Jennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, ...

There is no reason Obama, who was born in Hawaii, would have told her he was born in Kenya.

Sure there is, he's a pretentious American hating snob.

There is no evidence she is lying

There is no evidence she told the truth. How he was born in "Kenya" was written down is still completely unexplained.

She certainly could be telling the truth and Obama could be lying. Maybe she's not the one he told and wrote it down. She didn't say she wrote it. She just said he didn't tell her.

As usual, you are seriously misguided. You have no idea where she garnered if from. But it's cute watching you pretend that you do.

But the truly funniest part of your post is your idiotic claim that Obama lied to her about being born in Kenya because he's pretentious ....

pretentious

having or showing the unpleasant quality of people who want to be regarded as more impressive, successful, or important than they really are​

... what's pretentious about Kenya?

And there remains no evidence she's lying. Your overactive imagination is still not evidence.
