Newsmax’s Barry Farber jumps on the Obama birth certificate conspiracy bandwagon:
Watergate was Nixon’s 800-pound gorilla everybody talked about, who sat there until he broke the sofa. The location of Obama’s birth is an 800-pound gorilla that gets fatter every day and nobody — at least nobody in major media — likes to admit its existence. There’s never been a coming-together of factors resembling this one in America’s entire political history.
Farber rehashes all the talking points — the grandmother, the “masquerade” of a birth certificate the Obama campaign issued — and demands “simple — even superficial — journalism” without having apparently done his own, which would have uncovered the fact that such talking points have been debunked.
Aside from some desperate pre-election fear-mongering by Ken Timmerman, Newsmax had largely stayed away from the birth certificate conspiracy until now. Apparently, it’s now apparently decided to fully embrace its heritage of Clinton conspiracy-mongering and try to work the same magic against Obama.
