PM, a series on the Australian Broadcast Channel, tracked down David Bomford, the man whose Australian birth certificate was used as the basis for the forged “Obama Kenyan birth certificate” that Orly Taitz posted online Sunday.
The key bit of the interview:
DINA ROSENDORFF: Looking over the documents in question Mr Bomford still can’t quite believe his [...]

The editor-in-chief of WorldNetDaily left a comment at TWI’s sister site, The Minnesota Independent, taking issue with the statement that the site “has been accused” of publishing hoaxes in the past, such as “poorly written and unauthenticated emails” allegedly between Barack Obama and Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga.
Who was it that challenged those emails? Nobody. [...]

Lawyers who filed early lawsuits questioning President Obama’s citizenship fear the bogus document will do irreconcilable damage to their movement.

[Update: Credit where it's due—my source tipped me off to this in the Politijab web forums, which have become a good site for "birther" debunking.]
One of my friends in the small community of Obama “birther”-debunkers passes on quite the discovery: a 1964 “certified copy of registration of birth” from Australia, easily available on Bomford.net, a [...]

WorldNetDaily has put out a news release on its, uh, “scoop” about the forged “Kenyan birth certificate” that Orly Taitz has filed in court as proof of the president’s foreign ties. WND, says editor-in-chief Joseph Farah, is “working with document experts in the U.S. and with sources in Kenya” to verify the document. Which experts? [...]

The FreeRepublic.com forums have been roiled by conservative activists debating whether or not the Kenyan “certified copy of registration of birth” released by Orly Taitz is genuine. Jim Robinson, the Fresno, Calif.-based founder and owner of the site, has chimed in with his own view that the document is forged.

President George W. Bush’s political strategist put up a tweet this morning that’s a reflection of both how much play the forged “Kenyan birth certificate” is getting, and how embarrassing it is for opponents of President Obama.

On Sunday night, the online community of “birthers” erupted after Orly Taitz released a photo of a “Kenyan birth certificate” for Barack Obama. The “birther” movement quickly divided between the credulous — people who believed that the new certificate was genuine — and skeptics who believed that their movement was being taken for a ride.

Conservative blogger Tom Maguire takes issue with my story today, specifically the part about Sen. John McCain’s (R-Ariz.) presidential campaign checking the record on Barack Obama’s citizenship and coming away satisfied.
Barack’s mom and maternal grandparents had a strong incentive to create a paper trail documenting Obama as a US citizen back in 1961 and it [...]

I’ve addressed the rumor that one of President Obama’s African relatives “was there” when Obama was born before, most recently in my story today, but Alex Koppelman has a good take-out in Salon. G. Gordon Liddy has repeatedly said Obama was “born in the Kenyan slums” because of a doctored audio tape.
What Liddy was referring [...]
