Radio host takes tour of Obama conspiracy theories

[snopes]

Conspiracy theories were the order of the day for conservative radio host Jan Mickelson as he dedicated his show on Iowa’s largest radio station to the discussion of urban legends with a writer from World Net Daily.

Multiple groups, FactCheck.org and Snopes.com among them, investigated the claims that Obama could not be president because he was born in Kenya and had citizenship in other countries, determining that he did in fact have a valid birth certificate from Hawaii.

The end of the afternoon program was a one man tour de force of Mickelson proclaiming the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was never legally ratified, and thus, children of foreign born parents are not citizens of this country even if they are born here.

Well, if anyone knows about spreading urban legends, it is Wing Nut Daily.

I really give up on this Obama birth certificate stuff, it looks like it is going to be slung about forever, much like the 2000 presidential election and the Supreme Court decision, except with fewer facts.

Well then, I guess it's a good thing his mom was born in Kansas.

BTW, it takes a special bit of cruelty to name your daughter Stanley. I'm glad they didn't insist on her using it.

Both of your parents have to be born in the U.S. for you to be a citizen. Didn't you know? If even one grandparent wasn't born on U.S. soil, you're not a citizen.

At least that's what the ULRP mailbox tells me.

I'm sure if you wait long enough the inbox will tell you that if one of your grandparents once sneezed in the direction of another country you're not really a citizen.

Communists sneeze.

Are you a communist?

Apparently. I'm probably an athiest, socialist baby killer too. I also cough and hiccup when the occasion calls for it.

Hell, I think people are still trying to do the Clinton Body Count, much less still harping on Vince Foster...

“President Obama refuses to release his original birth certificate,” Corsi said, adding: “Hawaii claims to have a birth certificate that says Obama was born in Hawaii. I was in Hawaii, I hired a private investigator who went to all the hospitals … who were operating when Obama was born. None of them claim to have any record of Obama’s birth.”

I am soooooo tempted to hire a private investigator and have him go to all the Los Angeles-area hospitals that were operating when I was born to see if he could independently uncover a record of my birth. Unfortunately it would certainly be a cost-prohibitive effort, but I bet a PI couldn't find a record of my birth (outside of my actual birth certificate) even if I told him exactly when and where I was born.
