WND is not a reliable news site.

So in other words, this thread will probably be locked.

Is there a list somewhere? I looked and didn't see anything about what you are saying.

It is also from Breitbart.com too, and a few others.

I like WND I find it very reliable.

I think there was a rule like that at one time. The forum rules change a lot. It's hard to keep up with them. I also think Prison Planet was on the list.

But as far as that book goes, I heard it discussed today on Glenn Beck.

Well, when you consider the "reliability" of the MSM handling of the Zimmerman case, well, it sort of puts the definition of "Reliable" out the window eh?

Yes but you're not a mod. What's reliable and so forth has a degree of subjectivity to it.

There's a temporary ban on that for sure. It's the third sticky down the page.

This concerns a promotional brochure published by a PR firm 20 years ago. Even PR companies are known to make mistakes in what they write. It is pretty much a non-story, except for trivia buffs.

Man, are people still flogging this dead horse?

Look, the dude has been in the White House for 3 1/2 years now. Nothing will turn the clock back or undo most of what he has done thus far.

What on earth is the point?

Default Re: 1991 Obama was stamped 'Born in Kenya'

quote from http://www.wnd.com/2012/05/breakthro...ibility-story/ :
Congratulations to Breitbart.com for reporting a story the site clearly didn’t care to publish.

It seems that in 1991, Barack Obama was indeed representing himself to his literary agency as “born in Kenya, raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.”

This documented revelation is one more of many smoking guns that expose Obama’s tendency to revise his personal narrative as a matter of convenience and for personal advantage.

The question is: Was he lying then or now?

But this development illustrates something else – why such a huge story of constitutional import could be neglected so badly by practically everyone in the media for four years.

from http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Governm...donesia-Hawaii :
The Vetting - Exclusive - Obama's Literary Agent in 1991 Booklet: 'Born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii'

<snip>

Breitbart News has obtained a promotional booklet produced in 1991 by Barack Obama's then-literary agency, Acton & Dystel, which touts Obama as "born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii."

The booklet, which was distributed to "business colleagues" in the publishing industry, includes a brief biography of Obama among the biographies of eighty-nine other authors represented by Acton & Dystel.

It also promotes Obama's anticipated first book, Journeys in Black and White--which Obama abandoned, later publishing Dreams from My Father instead.

Obama’s biography in the booklet is as follows (image and text below):

Really? You believe this PR manual is true but not the official birth certificate they released?

from http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Governm...et-in-use-2007 :
Obama’s Lit Agency Used 'Born in Kenya' Bio Until 2007

According to archive.org, a website that caches websites on a regular basis, the Dystel.com website – the official website for Dystel & Goderich, Obama’s literary agents – was using the Barack Obama “born in Kenya” language until April 2007, just two months after then-Senator Obama declared his campaign for the presidency.

Archive.org shows that the Dystel website used the following biography for Obama as of April 3, 2007:
BARACK OBAMA is the junior Democratic senator from Illinois and was the dynamic keynote speaker at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. He was also the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. He was born in Kenya to an American anthropologist and a Kenyan finance minister and was raised in Indonesia, Hawaii, and Chicago. His first book, DREAMS FROM MY FATHER: A STORY OF RACE AND INHERITANCE, has been a long time New York Times bestseller.
Obama launched his presidential campaign in February 2007.

By April 21, 2007, the Obama bio had been changed to state that Obama was born in Hawaii:
