Wingnuts In Hawaii.....

Anti-Semite Andy Martin has been spending the last few days in Hawaii doing press conferences, claiming the real reason Sen. Obama came back was to confront him, and generally acting like a jerk.

He tried to file suit in Hawaii to demand a copy of Sen. Obama's birth certificate. The Hawaiian Supreme Court basically said "no you can't have a writ of mandamus, expedited hearings, or telephonic hearings. Not yours."

So he released his latest bombshell. The claim that Sen. Obama's father was NOT Barack Obama Sr., but Frank Marshall Davis, Jr.!

On his site "contrariancommentary.com" he makes this inane claim:

"“Mendacious adults ‘switched’ Obama at birth. That is why he has refused to allow access to the original or ‘vault’ birth certificate,” Martin told a Honolulu news conference. “We believe the original certificate did not list a father. Barack Obama became the father as a result of an agreement between Ann Dunham, Frank Marshall Davis and Barack Obama, Sr.

“Davis was already married to a White Woman. He did not need a nonmarital child by a second one. Ann probably refused to have what was then called a ‘back alley’ abortion. Davis may have felt that ‘Obama’ would face less stigma with an ‘African’ background than a Negro one. The civil rights revolution, of course, turned that gambit upside down. In discovering and understanding what happened we cannot forget we are dealing with events in 1961, not 2008.

“The irony in all of this is that Obama once stated he did not want his daughters to be ‘victimized’ with a child. And he is alive because his mother took the contrary view.

“Barack Obama has known this since adulthood, and the shock of this discovery still reverberates in his psyche.

“Ironically, what I have to say today dilutes the ‘Muslim’ theory that has propagated. Davis was not a Muslim. If Obama had told the truth at some point in his life, instead of living endlessly with the lies that were imposed on him by the adults in his life, we would have avoided a great deal of confusion. I, for one, have deep compassion for Mr. Obama. He is not the first person in history to be caught up in this kind of family fraud.

“The disclosure by the two women in his life that he was not the ‘son’ of his ‘father’ also explains why he manifests such extreme ambivalence to both his mother and grandmother. He is angry because he was cheated of his real father.

“Obama was robbed of his birthright of being the son of civil rights royalty, and of a father with whom he was completely simpatico. He could have grown up the son of Frank Marshall Davis, civil rights pioneer and activist, cutting-edge journalist, poet and man of letters. Mr. Davis was an extraordinary man in a dark period of this nation’s history, the pre-dawn of the civil rights era.

“Obama has probably suspended his campaign and is flying to Honolulu because he is deathly afraid his grandmother may make a ‘dying declaration’ and blow the whistle on his family fraud. Dying people often blurt out the truth. The true facts of Obama’s parentage also reflect why there has been so much tension and alienation, as well as genuine love, in Obama’s relationship with his grandmother."

Wow, insanity much?

The ironic thing is that for Obama-haters, Martin just undercut Philip Berg's lawsuit with this claim. Obama would have derived US citizenship from both parents, one of which would have been old enough, (according to the laws at that time), to pass it on even if he *was* born in Kenya.

In addition, it negates the Indonesian claim, because even if Stanley Ann Durham renounced her US citizenship, (and by extension, Sen. Obama's), Davis never did. So he would have had still one parent with US citizenship and no lapses.

Mind you, I have no doubt that the Cult of the COLB will come up with some horribly tortured pretzel logic to claim that Davis was Sen. Obama's father AND yet he doesn't have US citizenship, etc., etc.....

But it could split the wingnuts into two factions. Something to look at with glee *grin*
