Left-wing Firebrand Lynn Samuels Questions Obama's True Place Of Birth radioequalizer.blogspot.com 'HE'S LYING' Libtalker Sirius About Challenging Obama's Claims youtube.com It's radio's equivalent of a man-bites-dog story: a left-wing talker jumping into an Obama controversy that even some conservative hosts and bloggers find difficult to discuss. The flap over Barack Obama's birth certificate and whether he was truly born inside the United States, or in Kenya as some have alleged, seemed to die down a bit after the election. Several recent developments, however, have the Internet once again buzzing: A US Army Major has successfully (?) argued that he shouldn't be deployed to Afghanistan because the Commander-in-Chief isn't legitimately serving as US president. The Army has now determined that he will not be required to report for duty. A federal judge in California has agreed to hear a case that would attempt to settle the issue. Lingering confusion over which Hawaiian hospital is claimed to be Obama's birthplace has raised new questions. Enter Lynn Samuels, longtime liberal firebrand formerly of WABC radio in New York City and now featured on the "Sirius Left" channel at the satellite radio network. During Monday's program, Samuels made this surprising case for a cover-up in the Obama birth certificate matter: Samuels is far better known for over-the-top rhetoric against Dan Quayle and other conservatives. Here's an interview she did with a left-wing Internet site after her removal from WABC in 2002. Given these recent developments, it appears the issue could re-emerge on the political frontburner at an unexpected time. If Obama has definitive evidence to support the claim of a Hawaiian birth, will he bring it forward, or allow this matter to fester for years to come?
