Last week, we noted how WorldNetDaily columnist Erik Rush had latched onto the conspiracy theory that Malcolm X is Barack Obama’s father (as well as the discredited claim that Obama ordered a bust of Winston Churchill to be removed from the Oval Office because England once planned to ban Malcolm X from the country). Rush is back, this time at the birther-centric website the Post and Email with an expansion of the Malcolm X lunacy, co-written with Martha Trowbridge.
Rush declares that a photo of a young Stanley Ann Dunham picture with a toddler Obama “was falsified to deceive us” by making her hair longer and by “futzing with the corner of her mouth, in order to widen it.” His proof that this is happened? There’s another picture of “his mother, Stanley Ann, in February 1965, at the wake / funeral of militant black leader, Malcolm X.” No, really:
Why not? Because though he claims his mother was thousands of miles away in Hawaii, the fact is, there Stanley Ann was in New York City, February 1965, there, right there, at Malcolm X’s wake and funeral.
So it just may be that Barack Obama’s father isn’t Barack Obama “Sr”, after all.
The Truth lies in the long and short of it. Of Stanley Ann’s Hair, that is.
[…]America is starved for answers, ravenous for Truth. America, where the media is more afraid of printing Truth than they are of printing lies.
Why?
And why would Obama hide his origins?
Because having a biological father like Malcolm X – a radical black nationalist – would have impeded Obama’s chance for election.[emphasis in original]
The big question is, why isn’t Rush publishing these astonishing revelations at WND? You’d think they, of all people, would be receptive to such an Obama-denigrating conspiracy theory.
