No matter how hard they attack, deny, and divert, the truth keeps appearing all over the place. Here's just one more example:
James Asher pointed to Sidney Blumenthal as the source for the birther rumors. In a statement to McClatchy, Asher made a more detailed statement about the matter, and said that they sent a reporter to Kenya to dig up the story:
“During that meeting, Mr. Blumenthal and I met together in my office and he strongly urged me to investigate the exact place of President Obama’s birth, which he suggested was in Kenya. We assigned a reporter to go to Kenya, and that reporter determined that the allegation was false.
“At the time of Mr. Blumenthal’s conversation with me, there had been a few news articles published in various outlets reporting on rumors about Obama’s birthplace. While Mr. Blumenthal offered no concrete proof of Obama’s Kenyan birth, I felt that, as journalists, we had a responsibility to determine whether or not those rumors were true. They were not.”
Of course, Blumenthal denies it.
