A July 27 WorldNetDaily article rehashes birther-related claims made in Aaron Klein’s Obama hate book, “The Manchurian President.” There are a couple things missing.
WND repeats Klein’s contention that “Obama may not fit the constitutional eligibility requirement that stipulates only ‘natural born’ citizens can serve as U.S. president.” But as we’ve detailed, Klein is merely repeating arguments made by birther lawyers promoted by WND, and he makes no mention whatsoever in his book of legal arguments that contradict his claim that Obama is not a “natural born citizen.”
WND makes an omission of its own: As we’ve also detailed, Klein wrote in his book that he found “no convincing evidence that Obama was born in Kenya, nor that his birthplace was any place other than Hawaii, his declared state of birth.” That statement is nowhere to be found in the WND article — perhaps because it contradicts WND’s own reporting.
