A Congressional Bid and a Birther Monologue

NASHVILLE — The author and Fox News analyst Angela McGlowan — one of very few African-Americans present at the National Tea Party Convention — used a short dinner speech to basically announce a bid against Rep. Travis Childers (D-Miss.). “I can’t announce it now,” she said, but on Monday, she’d announce something — and by the way, Childers “is about to lose his job!”

Joseph Farah, the editor in chief of WorldNetDaily, took the stage after McGlowan and ran with the ball. “I get to be the first person to formally endorse your quest!” Farah went on to give a speech that focused, for around 10 minutes, on his questions about Barack Obama’s birth certificate — about which I’ll write more shortly.

McGlowan’s speech was notable, too, for a really amazing bit of product placement. “Now why did I join the Tea Party movement?” she asked. “It was the same reason I wrote my book, ‘Bamboozled: How Americans Are Being Exploited by the Lies of the Liberal Agenda.’” She said the whole subtitle.

THIS is the issue we cannot allow to be swept under the carpet.
'I don't know whether Obama's a U.S. citizen'
Tennessee state Senate speaker and gubernatorial candidate Ron Ramsey has joined the growing ranks of officials and prominent commentators who say they are unsure of whether President Barack Obama is a U.S. citizen. Still wondering which citizenship Obama/Soetoro/Saetoro carried into adulthood & that would be on his Occidental College records which he refuses to release. Just on the face of it that his father was a foreigner Obama cannot qualify to run for president. Plus he lived as an Indonesian, travelled to Pakistan as something other than a US citizen, his Grandma Obama said he was born in Kenya, an official Kenyan Birth Certificate is in the possession of the courts, newspapers have reported he is “Kenyan-born”, Obama had it on his own website at one time and former-ambassador/presidential candidate Alan Keyes heard Obama admit it. How much doubt needs to be cast on this usurper before he gets removed from office?

Red, I believe you misunderstand what 'doubt' means.

A question was raised about the gentleman's citizenship.
This is doubt.
The gentleman in question produced a proper birth certificate, acceptable as evidence in federal court.
This allays doubt

A question was raised concerning the legitimacy of the produced birth certificate.
This is doubt.
A state official confirms the released birth certificate as true and correct.
This allays doubt.

You are entitled to your own opinion, not your own facts.

I declare that the Tea Party Movement is illegitimate. My proof is that they are secretly funded by corporations opposed to Obama's policies. I demand that they show proof of authenticity that they are truly grass roots.

Why did people show up at town hall meetings in August all act the same way? Why did their shouting down behavior exactly match the scripts provided to them through the coordinated efforts of several organizations lead by Dick Armey? Why were hard core non-native activists being shipped around on buses to town halls? Why is this a for-profit venture? Why is Fox News giving it inordinate coverage? Why are Fox News commentators promoting it's protests, encouraging crowds to cheer, showing fake pictures to make the size of the crowds at the Washington protest seem much larger than it was? Why are Fox News contributors speaking at its conventions? What is Sarah Palin–a commentator or an activist? Who is Angela McGlowan?
Give us all these answers–and we'll ask even more questions!

[...] MS-01: Guilt by association? Apparently, Angela McGlowan was followed at the National Tea Party Convention by Joseph Farah, the editor of WorldNetDaily, who went on to question Barack Obama’s birth certificate. The Washington Independent (although I am not sure how independent they are) thinks that fact is an issue in their story, “A Congressional Bid and a Birther Monologue.” [...]

McGlowan believes in gun registration. Her candidacy will be the shortest-lived teabagger candidacy in history.

This past weekend in Nashville, at the first National Tea Party Convention, the Beltway press ignored Sarah Palin's keynote address, followed a prime-time speech by “birther” Joseph Farah, who over the years has carved out a unique corner of the right-wing blogosphere. Because, yes, at the Tea Party convention, Farah, a proud Muslim-hater and gay-hater, received a standing ovation from the conservative crowd after he presented his birther evidence/theory that Obama is not a naturl-born citizen. Farah bragged in the weeks leading up to the event about his chance to share the stage with Sarah Palin, to associate with her. “Sold out! Palin-Farah ticket rocks tea-party convention,” read the headline at WorldNetDaily.
Worst of all, though, the mainstream press played dumb about the whole thing.
Fact: Virtually nobody in the corporate media said boo about Palin helping to legitimize the birther-movement by sharing the same stage with Farah. She was given a total free ride. Perhaps if the mainstream media continue to ignore likely future President Palin and the birthers they will fade away.
Geez, at the local Tea Party meeting I saw plenty of folks of “color!” High taxes, out of control spending, debt, and lack of accountability by Washington is what the Tea Party is about. The “powers that be” in the Obama administration and their flunkies at NBC, ABC, CNN and SeeBS are just doing as they are told. Look what they are doing to Toyota as well.

The Indonesian citizenship law was designed to prevent apatride (stateless) or bipatride (dual) citizenship. Indonesian regulations recognized neither apatride nor bipatride (stateless or dual) citizenship. Since Indonesia did not allow dual citizenship; neither did the United States (since the United States only permitted dual citizenship when 'both' countries agree); and since Obama/Soetoro was a “natural” citizen of Indonesia, the United States would not step in or interfere with the laws of Indonesia. Hague Convention of 1930. As a result of Soetoro/Obama’s Indonesian “natural” citizenship status, Soetoro/Obama could never regain U.S. “natural born” status, if he in fact he ever held such, which we doubt. Soetoro/Obama could have only become “naturalized” if the proper paperwork were filed with the U.S. State Department, after going through U.S. Immigration upon his return to the United States; in which case, Soetoro/Obama would have received a Certification of Citizenship indicating “naturalized.”
We are informed, believe and thereon allege Obama/Soetoro was never naturalized in the United States after his return. Soetoro/Obama was ten (10) years old when he returned to Hawaii to live with his grandparents. Soetoro/Obama’s mother did not return with him. Therefore, it appears that she did not apply for citizenship for Soetoro/Obama in the United States. If citizenship for Soetoro/Obama had been applied for in 1971, Soetoro/Obama would have a Certification of Citizenship. If Soetoro/Obama returned in 1971 to Hawaii without going through U.S. Immigration, today he would be an “illegal alien” — and obviously not able to serve as president, but also his term as a United States Senator from Illinois for nearly four (4) years was illegal.
