Pick Your Nuts

So which is it, Obama conspiracy theorists?

Is Barack Obama not a natural born citizen, but of Kenyan birth, as Philip Berg alleges in a lawsuit that the Obama campaign is ignoring?

Or is Obama not even really Obama, but instead the lovechild of his "Uncle Frank," admitted child rapist Frank Marshall Davis, as Andy Martin alleges?

Decisions, decisions...

Why not both?

Did Frank Marshall Davis ever visit Kenya, perhaps in the same SR-71 that took the elder Bush to Iran to negotiate the release of the hostages so that Reagan could win?

(Wonder how many conspiracy kooks will take that possibility seriously.)

fwiw - I saw this on a Pennsylvania political website this morning :
Going Viral...former Montgomery County Democratic Chairman Phil Berg is in Federal Court trying to prove that Barack Obama is not a "natural born citizen" of the United States and therefore Constitutionally barred from the Presidency...the former Deputy Attorney General and Democratic State Committee Member has been at it for some time but a new interview with Berg is getting plenty of "hits" on YouTube...

This Berg guy may or may not be a nut but I think its more likely that he's a democratic nut/not nut.

just google philip berg obama. there's an interview on americasrighy.com - or something like that.

If I remember correctly Ed Morrasy debunked this on hotair a long time ago with a shot of the birth anouncement in a Hawaii paper from 1960.

Unless the KOS people and Soros were plotting this for 48 years I'd say its bunk.

Between the Ayers associations, the opposition to the war, the inability to be truthful and the revalations of the "interesting" method of validating credit cards mentioned on Powerline, Hotair and National Review we have plenty of legit reasons to oppose Sen Obama.

This isnn't one of them.

Rules of discovery are for little people ... not The One.

He's....the "Kenyan Batman!"

As another poster noted, don't you guys have marginally legitimate windmills to tilt at besides bunk like this?

Actually, Lemonheads, if you had the brains of a lemon you'd realize that CY (and commenters like myself) are making fun of those who tilt at these windmills.

Back to Kos for you, Lemonheads.

Hmm. McCain releases thousands of pages of his medical records, making no attempt to conceal his several, successful bouts with cancer. Obama releases a one page letter from a doctor. McCain releases complete donor records and returns any donation that even smells a little funny. Obama hides more than 200 million in donations and and gladly accepts illegal/fraudulent credit card and other donations. The media runs with a suggestion that because McCain was born in the Canal Zone to a military father, he's not eligible for the presidency even though anyone who understands such things knows the mere suggestion is false and utterly silly. It's suggested that Obama might not be eligible for the presidency because he may well have been born in Kenya to a mother whose residency in the US didn't meet the statuatory requirements in effect at the time for citizenship for Obama, and the media not only ignores it but buries it, as they have so much else about The One.

Do I know that this is true? No. However, if it is, and the case for this proposition seems at least plausible, then we need to know the facts, now rather than later. Obama can clear this up by doing what he has, thus far, refused to do: Produce a Hawaiian birth certificate, or an official document from the hospital where he was born, current to the time of his birth, certifying his birth. In a case where anyone running for president might very well not be eligible, and as I've said, from what I've seen, this is at least plausible, it is hardly too much to ask that candidate to produce a document available to every citizen born in the US. It's not as though we're searching for an original from 1732 that was burned in an Indian raid, and there are any number of situations that require Joe average (The Plumber?) to produce a birth certificate.

It might be interesting to see what Obama brings back from Hawaii in a day or two. If he was actually born in the US, OK. A genuine birth certificate clears everything up immediately and that's the end of it (unlike Dems, conservatives are unlikely to run around for years screaming about stealing elections, etc.). If not...what would happen several years down the line if it was proved that Obama--or anyone elected president--was not, in fact, eligible for the office, and knowing that, ran anyway? It's not hard to imagine an all Democrat congress, with the aid of the Obama PR unit (the mainstream media) violating the Constitution to keep Obama in power. We really don't need that kind of Constitutional crisis, now do we? How about it Obama?

Obama posted a Registration of Birth from Hawaii, but this is not a Birth Certificate. The rules just don't apply to the Annointed One.

I heard two people talking today, Obama supporters, and one said, "He's only 47. He could be President for 20 years." Yep, like Castro, now up to 50 years.

Have you seen the video with children singing the new hymn, "Obama is going to change the World?" No, well then look it up. They're literally beautific and you'll see them at the Inauguration, if he wins. He'll change the National Anthem as well. Then what next? The flag, to his own design? You can bet on it.

And for Bill Ayers Red Book for communists, on this site, to see what is planned for us.

He has Davis's eyes, Frank M. Davis is definitely his dad!
