Tulsa Today Bumped Offline After Obama Story

Tulsa Today, a major online source of news for the Oklahoma area, was knocked offline completely by their Internet Service Provider a mere 2 hours after posting a story questioning the authenticity of Barack Obama's birth certificate.

And why is this important?

So far those who have dared question 'The Chairman's' qualifications for the Presidency have been characterized as right-wing kooks, conspiracy theorists, and other such derogatory terms, all with the goal of trivializing the charge.

Websites and blogs that have dared to do the hard research on the subject and post it online have suffered retaliation from Google and other online services.

But now the story of the fake birth certificate is gradually seeping into 'mainstream' media sources as journalists who formerly were mesmerized by the Obama charisma are now waking up to the possibility that something terribly afoul has taken place.

Pamela Geller did the original research along with official certification by a forensics expert who says the copy of the certificate is fake. Geller also suffered retaliation at the hands of Google.

It is a big mistake, however, to think that this is an isolated incident that happens sometimes to controversial blogs.

Tulsa Today is into hard journalism, and when they do a piece of investigative journalism the facts are reported as they were discovered by the reporter in question.

In other words, they keep opinion and commentary separate from the hard news.

When Tulsa Today published the story on the Obama birth certificate, they were inundated with new readers. Their local service provider was unable to keep up with the demand, and thus, the online news service went dark.

Apparently Tulsa Today has found a new ISP, and all is well.

But the point is that the controversy surrounding Barack Obama's birth certificate is a legitimate issue and poses a major Constitutional question concerning his eligibility to serve.

A growing chorus of journalists and citizens want some answers.

It costs 10 bucks for Obama to provide the proof of the certificate's authenticity. This he has refused to do. Instead, he has spent nearly a million bucks and several months fighting the request to produce the certificate.

Why?

OBAMA BIRTH CERTIFICATE A FORGERY?

An expert in forensics computer analysis who is also a certified fraud examiner claims that the official birth certificate used by Barack Obama to prove his credentials for running for the Presidency is a forgery.

This explosive revelation was made after a thorough investigation involving weeks of scientific analysis, document examination, comparative studies, and forensics lab work were conducted, the results of which have been posted by Pamela Geller at Atlas Shrugs.

Geller posted the results of the study of the birth certificate this weekend after securing the services several weeks ago of the expert who has made Barack Obama the subject of a fraud investigation.

As you will see by clicking on the link, the investigator completed the analysis under the weight of personal threats by those who obviously did not wish for the report to be issued.

My friends, this is explosive stuff.
