George Peabody is making a pest of himself again.
Publisher offers to pay black Hawaiians for copies of birth certificatesQuote:
"The publisher of a homespun conspiracy newspaper has several black activists in Hawaii alarmed after he offered to pay them each $50 for copies of their birth certificates so he can expose that President Barack Obama is secretly not American.
The scheme, hatched by “Molokai Advertiser-News” publisher George Peabody, came to the attention of reporter Anita Hofschneider with the Honolulu Civil Beat.
Hofschneider noted that Peabody contacted the Martin Luther King Jr. Coalition, the African American Heritage Foundation of Maui and the Hawaii NAACP on August 25, asking each groups’ leaders for copies of their birth certificates.
“If you or your Negro members were born in Hawaii between 1955 to 1965, I will pay $50 for a copy of your Hawaii long form certified birth certificate,” he reportedly wrote."
Somehow I suspect his calling them "Negros" isn't going to go over very well.
African-American Groups in Hawaii Angered by Latest Birther RequestQuote:
"Peabody said that the purpose of his request was to compare these birth certificates to Obama’s to "expose the fraud" at Hawaii Department of Health."
He's digging himself deeper.
Quote:
"Alphonso Braggs, president of the Hawaii NAACP, said that Peabody contacted him about this issue last month.
“I conveyed to him that I wasn’t going to give it any kind of acknowledgement because I don’t intend to validate any of the actions that he’s engaged in,” Braggs said."
Gee, I can't imagine why?
Quote:
"Peabody said that he has collected birth certificates from people of Japanese, Filipino, Hawaiian and Caucasian ancestry. He acknowledged that before sending the email, he had a "small concern" that some might find it offensive or racist."
Translation -
"Gee, those negroes are SO touchy! I can't understand why those uppity darkies would get upset just because I'm demanding copies of their papers. I mean, I'm even offering to give them some trinkets and beads in exchange. Why don't they want to help me prove that scary black man in the WHITE House is a fraud?? What's wrong with them??"
