Adelaide (Australia) man caught up in bid to oust Obama (forgers used his birth certificate)

[sabra]

Source: ABC AU

MARK COLVIN: An unsuspecting Adelaide public servant has found himself swept up in a conspiracy to oust the 44th President of the United States from office.

A movement known as the Birthers, which originated in California, is attempting to prove that Barack Obama was born in Kenya, not Hawaii, therefore making him ineligible to be President.

...

Sceptics soon traced the bogus birth certificate and found it to be a forgery. The document turns out to have been based on the birth certificate of an Adelaide man called David Jeffrey Bomford.

...

DINA ROSENDORFF: It's believed computer hackers found Mr Bomford's birth certificate on his family's genealogy website.

...

DAVID JEFFREY BOMFORD: It's little old me and my mum and everything else up there. Oh I definitely confirm that the birth certificate was mine. That was quite easy to see - my address, even the style of the birth certificate was an old South Australian one.

So it's quite easy to identify that it's mine.

Amazing how many people delude themselves into believing any myth that fits their twisted world view.

6. irony

people delude themselves into believing any myth that fits their twisted world view, says a guy with a Lennin avatar LOL. I see you got rid of marx. Who's next Pol Pot?

Well youll work harder
With a gun in your back
For a bowl of rice a day
Slave for soldiers
Till you starve
Then your head is skewered on a stake

Now you can go where people are one
Now you can go where they get things done
What you need, my son.

Is a holiday in cambodia
Where people dress in black
A holiday in cambodia
Where youll kiss ass or crack

2. Fascinating story......now that Bamford confirms its authenticity, the

real story is who fabricated the Kenyan document? I suspect that it was probably one of Orly's supporters who wants to keep the controversy going....lots of money to be mined with the rubes in the birfer movement. I suppose an Obama supporter could have done it, but, in any case, it exposes how gullible and shallow this dentist/lawyer and her followers are.

3. And I still believe the document that got Dan Rather fired

was a hoax as well. Thats the kind of thing karl rove was put on this earth to do. Conservatives can not win with the truth so they pay people very good money to fuck other people.

4. Identity theft.

Prison time.

5. What a joy to see Bomford is alive and thinks well of Obama.

How do you answer this Poorly Orly?

DAVID JEFFREY BOMFORD: I'm very surprised at how anyone would even find it on the net unless they were looking for something like that because it's buried on a little known research site that's particularly for my family.

7. Bizarre: Birthers claim the Australian BC is the fraud and the "Kenyan" one is real!

The birthers are so committed to their fantasy that
they are all buzzing about evidenct that the Aussie
Birth Certificate is a fraud. They even think that
Oily Taters site was "hacked" and the original low-res
image was replaced with a faked high-res image!

[sudopod]

20. I heard it was 4chan that made the fake

then propagated it. This was posted on a geek forum I frequent:

21. I looked ... now they wanna see Bomford's original BC.

Talk @ degrees of separation - they keep this up, pretty soon we're ALL gonna have to produce our originals - & I don't have one. Guess I can't be prez, either!

If Mr. Bomford would show his actual birth certificate, perhaps the posted one could be easily discredited.

8. So now Obama was born in Australia?

And he's still living there under the assumed name of Bomford?

Ooh, sneaky!

;-)

[jpak]

13. Crikey!

:wow:

[denverbill]

9. That proves it! Bomford isn't an Australian citizen and can't be President of Australia!!!!

I hope he forces an investigation into who first posted this and where, so he can go after that person for theft and fraud.

11. Australia doesn't have a President anyway.

But they do have a Queen

[POAS]

14. He can't be Queen either!

[IndianaGreen]

17. Sweetie, anyone can be a queen!

:P

[POAS]

18. True but not everyone can be THE queen.

It's an inbreeding thing!

:evilgrin:

[anakie]

16. But they do have a Queen

unfortunately


Peace

15. 'computer hackers'...

Some hacker downloaded a publicly available document? You think the 'reporter' would know better than to throw 'hacker' into the story.

19. DUH! The birthers are constantly doing their imitation of Alfred E. Neuman
