Blue Mass Group is all but rubbing their hands with glee thinking the answer to the pesky Republican who could win Uncle Teddy's seat is contained in this video:
A few sites are opting just to run with a shortened version highlighting the damning moment when Brown questions whether Obama was born out of wedlock.
This is the highlight according to the left:
Brown: Barack's mom had him when she was, what, 18 years old?MSNBC covered Michelle Obama speaking on July 10,2008 at an event in Kansas City MO. This is MSNBC's coverage mind you, who wrote:
Guest: And married!
Brown: Well, I don't know about that.
His own mother, she said at the beginning of her remarks, was "very young and very single when she had him." And, Obama added, he has observed his wife's attempts to reconcile motherhood with her career aspirations.Perhaps Michelle Obama is misinformed or otherwise unclear about the marital status of her husbands parents when Stanley Anne "had him," I don't know. Let's look at what Barack wrote in Dreams from my Father
The lefty blogs know better than Barack, however, and are busy making some wacky connections to paint Brown as a "Birther:"
Complicating matters for Brown is the fact that, around the time the video was taped, the fringier elements of the conservative movement were advancing this theory--that Obama's mother wasn't married when he was born--as a related matter to the more important "Obama was born in Kenya" theory.The New Republic runs with it:
Within a few minutes of witnessing the left wing bloggers working themselves up into a smeargasm, there were links with statements from the Obama's dug from the archives to counter the attack. If this is what the left has had hidden up its sleeve for the last minute surprise, Coakley is in big trouble.
I read a book about Barack Obama- The American Journey of Barack Obama. I know that his father had more than one wife. I thought his dad was "married" to his first wife and wanted Stanley Ann to be his second wife and did in fact marry her. In this book, it says that they got divorced. But I do have to wonder, since bigamy can't happen in the US, what was the status of that marriage.
ReplyDeleteGreat point, I also think there were enough confusing statements like Michelle's "single when she had him" that would excuse someone from not knowing whether his parents were married when he was born.
