It must be RUN AWAY day - first Ricketts and now Breibart.com on "Obama born in Kenya"

Note from Senior Management:

Andrew Breitbart was never a "Birther," and Breitbart News is a site that has never advocated the narrative of "Birtherism." In fact, Andrew believed, as we do, that President Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on August 4, 1961.


I will provide the link if you want it.



oh but they originally posted the story have this:

Obama 'Kenya' Lit Booklet Raises Question MSM Will Refuse to Ask
by John Nolte



now ABC News has the (we all knew this) explanation

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/OTUS/born-kenya-obamas-literary-agent-misidentified-birthplace-1991/story?id=16372566

"This was nothing more than a fact checking error by me--an agency assistant at the time," Goderich wrote in an emailed statement to Yahoo News. "There was never any information given to us by Obama in any of his correspondence or other communications suggesting in any way that he was born in Kenya and not Hawaii. I hope you can communicate to your readers that this was a simple mistake and nothing more."

Naturally, they are not bothering with any follow up with facts. From reading the comments section, I think I know where freepers go for a "vacation".
