Crazy Birthers Hit the Jackpot! Obama Born in Connecticut!
Read Time:1 Minute, 55 Second
Just when you thought the Birther conspiracy theories had died out under the weight of actual news like the BP oil spill, and the Times Sq. Bomber, along comes a ‘report’ that the first three digits of President Obama’s social security number apparently suggests it was applied for in Connecticut. Before we go any further probably best to note that this news comes from World Net Daily (and inadvertently Google…more on that below), the website that derives much of its funding from selling birther paraphernalia.
The site is reporting that “Two private investigators working independently” have discovered “President Obama is using a Social Security number set aside for applicants in Connecticut while there is no record he ever had a mailing address in the state.” Also, “WND has copies of affidavits filed separately in a presidential eligibility lawsuit in the U.S. District Court of the District of Columbia by Ohio licensed private investigator Susan Daniels and Colorado private investigator John N. Sampson.”
Alas, (shockingly!) copies of the affidavits are not provided in the post. Also, this is not a new theory. But since it’s currently making its way up the Google trends hot list it might be just the sort of thing to bubble up on cable news between segments as a “you decide” filler once people get tired of the depressing BP oil video. Or, alternately, will cause Anderson Cooper’s head to actually explode on live television.
Meanwhile, the story itself has managed to birth a whole other conspiracy that Google was trying to suppress the results. Earlier this morning when you searched “obama social security” the top two results directed visitors to two non-related stories on Politico. Strangely, I think may have achieved the opposite of “suppression.” In fact, I suspect the weird results may have inadvertently given the report some legs as they made it appear, on first glance, that this was a serious news story — you had to click through and read a two page article to discover there was no mention of it there. Google told Free Republic that some “bug in the snippets” caused the wacky results and has since been fixed…sort of. You still get Politico results if you click through to Google News.

Did you hear that Hawaii has passed a law allowing them to ignore requests for Obama’s birth certificate. They just have it posted now, along with the daily newspaper’s announcement of his birth. They were receiving 20 some requests for his certificate per week since before he took office.
He thought, and therefore, he was.
Orly Taitz is obviously an illegal alien from Neptune.
If people had been paying attention, he clearly said last year he was the son of Jor-El so they can just stop now.
This has Oily Taint** written all over it. I follow her insanity, and she has been using multiple soc soec numbers as a reason to impeach him since she started.
The employees that have to deal with this is Hawaii have been told, they do not have to honor any requests for the birth certificate. Yesterday I think it was the governor signed one of those little exec orders to tell them that. They are fed up with the same idiots asking all the time I suppose.
**Orly Taitz, woman who looks like an owl and crazy birther with funny accent. For those who don’t know.
Oh, those crazy birthers. Their lives are driven by layers and layers of conspiracies, running their brains to maximum capacity. One day the bubble will burst and they will crumple in a corner lamenting the wasted years, wishing they had never been born themselves.
Funny, I wish that already.
Latest reports are that he was never actually born anywhere. His dad peed on a wall and the sun brought him out….
Who’s Anderson Cooper? Sounds like a law firm or a bank
