"The Radio Patriot" Conservative Andrea Shea King Busted for Editing Call to Lakin's Brother
Andrea Shea King is a writer for World Nut Daily, Birther, and host an internet radio show on Blog Talk Radio. On Thursday her guest was Dr. Greg Lakin brother of the Birther LTC Lakin who is spending six months in Fort Leavenworth for refusing to deploy to Afghanistan because he "had doubts about the eligibility of his commander in chief". On the live show a caller asked why LTC Lakin who demanded Obama produce his "long for birth certificate" did not obtain one for his daughter who was born in Hawaii while Lakin was stationed at Schofield Barracks. Greg Lakin admitted that neither he nor his brother were successful in obtaining the same type of birth certificate as that Lakin was demanding Obama produce. Apparently, show host King decided the call was too embarrassing for the Lakin's and edited out most of the call in the archived version of the show. Unfortunately for King, some alert members of The Fogbow anti-birther forum had already downloaded an unedited version of the show.

Bill Bowman who writes the "Birther Movement Examiner" details the sneaky editing and has a transcript of the call.

"The Radio Patriot" is a flat-out liar

There's a program on Blog Talk Radio called, "The Andrea Shea King Show." Its host, who goes by the nickname of "Radio Patriot," has on her web page a kicky little picture showing her playing "dress-up like a real-life journalist:" she's wearing a hat with a "Radiopatriot PRESS" card stuck in the hat band. Very old school; we don't wear those kinds of things anymore. (Although it would be pretty cool. But I digress.)

Anyway, as you can imagine, "The Radio Patriot" is a Birther site. And on Jan. 21, 2011, Ms. King had on as guests Greg Lakin, the brother of (soon to be ex) Army LTC. Terry Lakin, and Marco Ciavolino, trustee of a fund raising effort for Terry Lakin. Terry Lakin is the (soon to be former) Army doctor who 's serving three months in a military prison after he was convicted of a charge of missing a movement, and plead guilty to a charge of failing to report to his superior officer. Lakin, also a Birther, claimed that he couldn't deploy to Afghanistan until he knew for sure that President Obama was Constitutionally qualified to serve as Commander in Chief. Of course, he did that after he took his taxpayer-funded leave prior to his deployment.

As it was learned during his court martial, another soldier had to deploy in his place, on short training, and wreaking havoc with his personal life. But stuff like that doesn't matter to Birthers, so long as they get what they want.

One of the "proofs" Lakin wanted was a copy of Obama's original long-form birth certificate from Hawaii, even though Hawaiian officials have said they are not issued anymore, and created the Certification of Live Birth in their place. Obama's non-compliance with their demand is their evidence that he does not have one from Hawaii, and was really born somewhere outside the U.S. (Of course, even if he did show it, that wouldn't satisfy Birthers, but that's another entry.)

2. I hope folks will read how dishonest this woman is
The following night she alluded to it and then claimed to play the part she had removed. She played a clip of Rush talking about Obama's birth certificate. She was basically acknowledging she had been caught but saying "neener, neener, I can get away with it because my listeners are Birther morons who don't care about truth".
