The Birthers: Wannabe Encyclopedia Browns

Remember when you were a kid and you read detective books like the Encyclopedia Brown series. You always tried to crack the code but you couldn't figure out how. You could never figure out how the crime of the blue bike being stolen was solved. Well that's what the Birthers have become - wannabe low-rent "Encyclopedia Browns".

Now they think they have the smoking gun - "A Kenyan Birth Certificate". Probably got that in conjunction with one of those Kenyan email scams.
Birther Attorney Orly Taitz should be disbarred in all of our 49 states because an argument that Hawaii is not a real state would make more sense.

Old Redneck at Daily Kos debunks this latest production.

It's a fake.  Because:

  1.  Says "Republic of Kenya" but is dated February 1964.  Kenya did not become a republic until 12 December 1964.  Ooops.

  2.  The document is dated 5 August 1964 -- a Saturday.  From what I can find, Kenyan guvmint offices close early on Friday and are closed on Saturdays.  Oooops.

  3.  And did you notice the document file number at the top of the page?  47,044.  Obama is 47 years old and is the 44th president.

  4.  Check out the name on the certificate, Signature of Registrar:  E. F. Lavender.  E. F. Lavender is a common soap in Kenya.  Heh, heh.

  5.  This piece of paper certainly looks nice and new to be 45 years old -- unless the Kenyans were using acid-free paper back in 1964.  Heh, heh.

  6.  Finally, Officials of Coast Province General Hospital reported:  "We do not have computerized records going back to the 1960's and can only sort through our archives by hand," Dr. Christopher Mwanga, an administrator at the Mombasa hospital tells GLOBE. "We have searched for all the names of babies born on Aug. 4, 1961, and have not found the name of Barack Hussein Obama. That is all I can tell you."

So neither Hillary Clinton or any of other Dem Presidential Candidates or their staffers were smart enough to uncover this? John McCain's camp couldn't crack the code. But some Dentist turned hack lawyer that obtained their law degree through correspondence classes was able to prove that Barack Obama was born in Kenya and not in Hawaii. I've heard many comments that we should just ignore the birthers. However, I believe that if we do not shut them down and prove their claims are false that enough people will buy into this junk.
