Australian man laughs off Obama birth conspiracy
Thu Aug 6, 4:46 am ET
SYDNEY (AFP) – An Australian man who unwittingly found himself embroiled in a conspiracy to oust US President Barack Obama has vowed to be more careful about what he posts on the Internet.
Adelaide public servant David Bomford was plucked from obscurity when US political campaigners released a copy of a birth certificate at the weekend that supposedly showed Obama was born in Kenya.
The campaigners, known as
"birthers," or "blowhards" point out that if Obama was born in Africa, rather than Hawaii as US records show, he would not be eligible to be president, since only natural-born US citizens can hold the top office.
However, the document they released turned out to be a fake based on a copy of Bomford's birth certificate that he had posted on a friend's genealogy website.
Bomford said it was hard to believe "a grey-haired old guy sitting in a corner in quiet old Adelaide" had been swept up in a push to unseat the most powerful man in the world.
"It is interesting someone from here being involved in a conspiracy -- that is so funny," he told public broadcaster ABC.
Bomford said he knew nothing about the
"birthers'" or "blowhards" claims.
He said the fake Kenyan birth certificate contained his personal details and was clearly based on his own South Australian document.
"It's definitely a copy of my certificate. It's so laughable it's ridiculous," he said.
Bomford said he only expected relatives researching their family tree would be interested in the document when it was posted on the Internet.
"I was very, very surprised that anyone would even find it on the net," he said. "I'll be certainly contacting my friend who runs that web and asking him to remove it."

The "birthers" are giving conservatism a bad name. Add one more chapter to the conspiracy theories that have wasted ink and time for generations. Nothing much has changed: the "grassy knoll" shooter, Vince Foster, Elvis's death, World Federalism, etc.

More on Berg v Obama
Berg Suit
Berg continues, “I furnished the Government and the Court with the information as to Barry Soetoro a/k/a Barack Hussein Obama’s legal name, which is Barry Soetoro and his citizenship status as Indonesian;
I furnished sworn Affidavits showing Barry Soetoro a/k/a Barack Hussein Obama was born in Mombosa, Kenya;
I presented evidence that the Certification of Live Birth [COLB] presented on the internet by Barry Soetoro a/k/a Barack Hussein Obama has been deemed a forged and altered document;
I presented evidence that the birth announcement filed in the Hawaiian newspapers regarding Barack H. Obama on or about August 13, 1961 could not be verified;
I presented evidence Barry Soetoro a/k/a Barack Hussein Obama never resided in the address on the birth announcement;
I raised the genuine issues pertaining to Barry Soetoro a/k/a Barack Hussein Obama’s college records wherein Berg is informed, believes and therefore alleges Barry Soetoro a/k/a Barack Hussein Obama attended Occidental College in California and Columbia University in New York and Harvard Law School as a foreign student.
None of which have been refuted by the Government”.

So, the Wingnut Birthers are giving credibility to the same guy who claims Cheney (& Neocon Republicans) are responsible for 9/11? Oh, the irony.....

AHOOOGA! AHOOGA! All hands rig for deep dive and running submerged!
OK here's the fallback: Obama rigged the charges in the towers in exchange for a legit birth certificate.

Yep. They are the right's version of "Truthers", another group of whackos who, almost ten years after the fact are still all over the Internet. But for some reason they have never caused as much pointless political outrage.

I think a lot of that has to do with what the reaction to them has been. No one has embraced the Truthers - no Democratic congressmen, Network, etc.
Unlike the Birthers, who have been embrased, initially, by a number of Republican Congressmen, and by Conservative news outlets like WorldNewsDaily, Rush Limbaugh and FoxNews.

BINGO
and a number of Republican Congresspeople who were stoking it as well (but when pressed to actually put it in to a vote, backed down)

OK....what are "truthers"? Does that have to do with the Bush/Cheney conspiracy regarding 9/11? Or the alleged "stealing" of the election in 2000?

"truthers" are the wankers who claim the Bush admin was "in on" 9-11... some of those who believe that bullshit are fringe lefties... most are just conspiracy nuts... either way, their bullshit is universally rejected by both the political establishment, and the legitimate media (and even most illegitimate media)

Thanks. I didn't realize we'd started assigning "names" to each of these wackjobs. So what are we calling the wackjobs shouting down the senators/congressmen at the health bill town hall meetings....?
.....wait for it.....

TT, you disappoint me. If I'm going to set them up for you like that, I have to KNOW you're going to knock them out of the park. Otherwise, what's the point?
The correct answer:
REPUBLICANS.
