Australian man laughs off Obama birth conspiracy

[RandomGuy]

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," 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'" 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 Australian man explained it. It was to punk his relatives. It wasn't political. He could be conservative or liberal. It was not a partisan lie.
Bomford said he only expected relatives researching their family tree would be interested in the document when it was posted on the Internet.Riddle me this. Would a conservative want to be tied to Obama? I say he's liberal!

[ChumpDumper]

So who took it off the web and tried to use it against Obama?

Would you call someone who knowingly did that a partisan liar?

No, I would think they thought it was real, but should have verified it first.

Yeah - like Dan Rather did with the Bush National Guard memo... oh wait...

I agree, that should have been verified.

Oh wait... It was already dismissed and told to Rather it was fake, yet he proceeded anyway!

Thanks for sharing.

[clambake]

what is it with you guys and cock?

does it have something to do with you being a birther?

[ChumpDumper]

Aw, Darrin is getting pissy and starting in with the homo smack.

[jman3000]

I don't think there are any serious birthers on this site. If there are, they should know they're some stupid mother fuckers.

I think anybody with half a brain can understand they're full of shit... so having constant reminders of how stupid they are is not necessary.

I was tired of the issue back in September when I first learned of their suspicions.
