It promised to be a blockbuster birther event: Joe Arpaio, Terry Lakin, Mike Zullo and even Pat Boone were supposed to gather Sept. 22 at a theater in Phoenix to call for Congress to investigate whether President Obama’s birth certificate is real. Tickets were reasonable, too: $10 for the general public, $25 for the front rows that also included admission to a post-event reception. Birtherpalooza, one might call it.
Alas, it was not meant to be. TPM reports:
Not even the promise of crooner Pat Boone singing oldies from a spinning stage could save what was intended to be the premier birther event of the year later this month in Arizona.
Organizers of the gala, which would have featured Boone alongside Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio and some of the nation’s other prominent conspiracy theorists, broke the news online Friday that it was canceled “due to inadequate ticket sales.”
You know who didn’t report the failure of this birther event? The birthers at WorldNetDaily.
WND also didn’t report the failure of the Birther Summit, planned for earlier this year, even though it reported on claims summit organizers made.
And thus, WND’s blackout on anything that make birthers look bad — like facts — continues.
