Telegraph: Obama's literary agent says he was 'born in Kenya'. How did the mainstream

[ChumpDumper]

Too many to count with this connection.

[Yonivore]

Barack Obama's biographical brief edited repeatedly over 17 years, but Kenyan birthplace changed just weeks after his presidential run announced.

How did that error continue to slip by?

Who cares besides birthers like you?

I'm not a birther; I've evolved.

I now think it's more likely he used the "Born in Kenya" factoid to scam the admission's process at a school he wanted to attend.

So, you're not the least bit curious why such an egregious error would survive multiple edits to the same biography over the course of 17 years?

Another day, another yoni conspiracy.

Why should I be?

Why would it matter?

[ChumpDumper]

chumpdumper is an obama sucker to the fullest

Nah, there are plenty of legitimate criticisms of Obama.

Birtherism isn't one of them.

You still haven't made your case for his being born anywhere but the US, TC. I don't' blame you for avoiding it.

[ChumpDumper]

I got nothing so I'll just try to insult CD

[ChumpDumper]

I hope my new schtick works

[ChumpDumper]

Seriously my biggest problem with you is that you don't believe in ANYTHINGGG unless there is a link to an official government page or one of the big corporate controlled media outlets covers it. You put SO much unwavering faith in government whenever they are quickly becoming our biggest enemy.

You haven't given any evidence from any source supporting your contention Obama was born in Kenya.

So you're pretty easily dismissed. Sorry.

[Yonivore]

Because liberals and the mainstream media aren't curious enough to even entertain the question of why Barack Obama would lie about the country of his birth, here is a roundup of conservative and libertarian thought on the matter:

Faking fakers and the fakery they fake

When it comes to conspiracies, I’m an Occam’s Razor man. The more obvious explanation of the variable first line in the eternally shifting sands of Obama’s biography is that, rather than pretending to have been born in Hawaii, he’s spent much of his life pretending to have been born in Kenya.

After all, if your first book is an exploration of racial identity and has the working title “Journeys In Black And White,” being born in Hawaii doesn’t really help. It’s entirely irrelevant to the twin pillars of contemporary black grievance – American slavery and European imperialism. To 99.99 percent of people, Hawaii is a luxury vacation destination and nothing else.
Whereas Kenya puts you at the heart of what, in an otherwise notably orderly decolonization process by the British, was a bitter and violent struggle against the white man’s rule. Cool! The composite chicks dig it, and the literary agents.

And where’s the harm in it? Everybody does it – at least in the circles in which Obama hangs. At Harvard Law School, where young Barack was “the first African-American president of The Harvard Law Review,” there’s no end of famous firsts: As The Fordham Law Review reported, “Harvard Law School hired its first woman of color, Elizabeth Warren, in 1995.” There is no evidence that Mrs. Warren, now the Democrats’ Senate candidate, is anything other than 100 percent white. She walks like a white, quacks like a white, looks whiter than white. She’s the whitest white since Frosty the Snowman fell in a vat of Wite-Out. But she “self-identified” as Cherokee, so that makes her a “woman of color.”

It’s a cheap stunt.

It’s former City Councilor Chuck Turner, trying to divert attention from his bribery conviction by reminding his tiny band of disillusioned followers, “African-Americans were brought to this country as slaves; we were whipped and lashed and hung. …”

It’s Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. offering to donate to the Smithsonian Institution’s museum of black history the handcuffs used to shackle him, as if he had personally confronted Sheriff Jim Clark rather than mouthed off to a Cambridge cop who’d come to help him.

It’s unconscionable because it demeans the price that was paid by those who truly suffered for causes greater than themselves. To Warren, Turner and Gates, and ideologues like them, that shed blood of others is not revered, but unconscionably appropriated for their own selfish purposes.

In any case, Obama’s putative foreign birth fit in with the image his agents were trying to sell: that of a young man whose exotic background gave him a pertinent perspective on “social and racial issues.” Obama, like Warren, was a product of elite academia, which places a great premium on such “diversity.” When tales of exotic origins become a kind of currency, it shouldn’t surprise us to find that prominent people, when they were young and ambitious, turn out to have passed counterfeits.

Conservatives love conspiracy theories and will spend time and energy making them up.

And yoni will parrot them.

[ChumpDumper]

It's not just this thread dude. You're such a mega troll I just don't even feel like debating with you.

Eh, you just know you don't have shit in this case.

You'll be OK, but don't be a weasel. It's pretty sad.

Why would I entertain a question that has zero relevancy? Establish a logical chain of factual events that results in Obama having been born outside of consitutional bounds, and then I'm interested in questions.
Until then, lol @ questions concerning why nobody questions something.

Actually, no one is questioning his place of birth; they're questioning his motives for allowing the persistent myth -- supported by his uncorrected yet repeatedly edited biography -- he was born outside the United States.

The argument has evolved. Keep up.

So it's even less relevant than before.

Brilliant move, birthers.

Do you think the Fed is allowing the 911 Troofer movement? :facepalm

lol @ allow.

Well, TeyshaBlue, that biography was edited multiple times over the 17 year period he was represented by the literary agent who published it. A lot of the content was changed over that time -- presumably with the knowledge and consent of the author who is the subject of the biography -- and, not once, was the Kenya Birth fact corrected or removed...until, of course, Obama announced his candidacy for President; at which time, he dropped the firm, corrected the biography, and moved on.

You're not interested in knowing why he lied for 17 years?

[ChumpDumper]

You're not interested in knowing why he lied for 17 years?

1) There is no evidence he lied. That is your conspiracy theory.

2) You didn't answer the question. Why does any of this matter?

[Yonivore]

1) There is no evidence he lied. That is your conspiracy theory.

The literary agent's rules required the authors to submit their own biographies. Are suggest that, even if Obama didn't write the original draft, that he never read the damn thing? Remember, this was before he was famous. Being the narcissist he is, I seriously doubt he was unaware of what the biography said -- particularly at a time when he was emerging in fame.

He lied. He allowed the lie to persist for 17 years...through multiple edits.

2) You didn't answer the question. Why does any of this matter?

Depends on why he lied.

[ChumpDumper]

That is a distinct possibility.

Remember, this was before he was famous. Being the narcissist he is, I seriously doubt he was unaware of what the biography said -- particularly at a time when he was emerging in fame.

Yeah, the narcissist schtick is another conservative conspiracy theory. You really buy into these hook, line and sinker.

He lied. He allowed the lie to persist for 17 years...through multiple edits.

No evidence.

Depends on why he lied.

What would make it relevant at all to today? You'll have to do better than innuendo here. I know that is difficult for you.

It appears to me, in the constellation of biographical works, that this pamplet was less than a minor work. I'm thinking that you are assigning value to it that doesn't exist, outside of a condition of a preconceived notion of conspiracy.

[Yonivore]

How should I know? Obama's school records are off limits.

I disagree.

The pamphlet (and other publications in which the same biography was reproduced, excerpted, and used) was the official publication of Barack Hussein Obama's literary agent from his first through his last book. These are the people that represented him, as an author of at least two memoirs/autobiographies.

It wasn't less than minor...it was how the agent represented its authors to the world.

lol offical

I know you're trying to make this a big deal because you are programmed to, yoni -- but you haven't made it relevant at all.
