bitchers gasping
FREE! FREE AT LAST
of Obama?
It's
5AM here, and I've gone straight to the Kenyan BC cafe to see how the
anti-birther bitchers are reacting - as though I couldn't write the
script ad hoc.
With this list of breast beaters, using the John Stewart debate technique of ad hominem attack and ridicule, we have Daily Kos.
The Kossers came to Obama's rescue in the first instance, by
finding the meaningless green "certification of live birth," and
here attempt to pull the rabbit out of a hat once more.
Loopy wack-a-doodle Birther Queen Orly Taitz has the smoking gun! (Minus the smoke and the gun.)
Well, they're smoking something, anyway:
Included in the WorldNut Daily morongasm is a "photo" of the
document, which purports to have been issued by the "Office of the
Principal Registrar, Coast Province, Republic of Kenya" on February 17,
1964
Question: Was there a Republic of Kenya on February 17, 1964?
Wikipedia says no. Kenya became independent on December 12, 1963, and declared itself a Republic exactly one year later.
She'd better be a fucking great dentist, or the Taitzes aren't gonna eat this year.
Update: A more thorough debunking, for shits and giggles.
”
David Brock quickly issues the Media Matters imprimatur:
“
DailyKos' David Waldman has identified
what appears to be an even more glaring problem with WND's latest
smoking gun. The document posted by WND purports to have been produced
by the "Republic of Kenya" on February 17, 1964. But Kenya didn't even
become a republic until December 12, 1964. An article from that day's Washington Post, for example, reported that "Kenya became the newest republic within the British Commonwealth at midnight."
”
FAIL
Were I not a gentleman, I might accuse KOS of editing Wikipedia for their own evil purposes. Because Googling "Dec. 12, 1963 kenya" returns about 1,510,000 hits like this" (and isn't it amazing how Obammers can find dated and obscure newspaper articles to make their case?) :
12 December 1963 – Kenya Achieves Independence. Wednesday December 12, 2007. Map showing position of Kenya in Africa Home to indigenous Bantu and ... africanhistory.about.com/.../12/12/12-december-1963-kenya-achieves-independence.htm - Cached - Similar -
”
So
far then, we have lawyer Taitz filing a motion in U.S. District
Court for its authentication, and a scholarly examination of the facts
as are known here [Kenyan Birth Certificate - 1964 Divorce Timeline] which concludes"
“
I can’t personally vouch for the veracity of the Kenyan birth
certificate itself, not knowing how or from whom Orly obtained the
birth certificate (the chain of evidence). It may have been obtained
quite surreptitiously from the only filed Kenyan birth certificate
record copy requested -- likely generated from the 1964 divorce.
It's QUITE possible that all other copies of this Kenyan birth
certificate may have been scrubbed from Kenyan archives, but this one
may have survived in a lone Vital Statistics office somewhere in Kenya
not known about until now.
HOWEVER -- the dates DO "line up" for the Kenyan Birth Certificate to be REAL.
”
As style goes, compare Taitz's conduct with the "shits and giggles" approach taken by the KOS "bitchers." Still to be resolved is Who is “E. F. Lavender?" A soap, a Kenyan registrar, or both? Stay tuned.

If I were going to create a hoax BC, I wouldn't include in-jokes like a name that's actually a hand soap and a number that's Obama's age and presidency (47044).
These are mentioned by all those who're claiming it's fake. They're clearly reading from the same page-- HuffPo or KOS, probably. Then they fan out and repeat it everywhere. They're so industrious.
I Googled "E. F. Lavender" and can't find any mention of a hand soap. I found lots and lots of links to this subject, but no hand soap.
At this point, we don't really have enough facts. However, this isn't like the TANG memo hoax, which went straight from the hoaxer to 60 Minutes. Orly Taitz isn't trying to get this on TV, she's trying to get corroborating data. Big difference.
well said clem -- I do get the soap citations though, and its the Lavendar thing that keeps me from accepting the thing out of hand. But Taitz has placed it before the courts, something Obama has spent a million dollars to avoid doing.
I don't think it's at all improbable that Obamanists would engineer fakes as a method of discrediting the entire premise of an ineligible creature in the oval office. What I don't understand are conservatives who've joined the chorus. Not when it's manifestly clear we're dealing with a man created from whole cloth, a man who is not what he claims to be, a man supported by a political apparatus who would, and have, betray their country for political advantage, a man who, with his own tongue, has publicly claimed two different birth hospitals.
There is the possibility I've gone daft in my dotage, I suppose, but then I'm too daft to let go of this poseur in the woodpile.

Here's the deal with Taitz. She can make a fool out of herself all she wants. This is not a popularity contest. Is she comes up with the goods, she wins. EOS.
Dec 12, 1963 - Jamhuri Day is celebrated in Kenya to mark the date of Kenya's indepedence from the United Kingdom, on 12 December 1963. Jamhuri is the Swahili word for "republic" as reflected in the nations official name Jamhuri ya Kenya (Republic of Kenya).
