i was torn about posting this

because to me (though OBVIOUSLY NOT true) it is still fuel for the fire. there are those that WILL believe any story by ANY whack job out there. didn't this dude's mama tell him to ALWAYS TELL THE TRUTH? if she did, he didn't listen

people crave attention. when that attention wanes, they do and say things to create MORE attention for themselves.

hey martin, you need not fear barack obama. the ONLY thing you have to fear is YOUR fear itself. may you find inner peace. yes, that is what i wish for you.

Author of Obama Muslim rumor replaces it with Communist rumor
David Edwards and Muriel Kane
The man who originated the rumor that Barack Obama was born a Muslim is now promoting an entirely different story, claiming that Obama is actually the son of a black activist who was suspected in the 1950s of Communist ties.

Andy Martin first launched the "Muslim" rumor in 2004, just two weeks after Obama gained national attention at that year's Democratic convention. His initial press release was picked up by the conservative website FreeRepublic, and from there the story snowballed on the Internet.

However, Martin now tells CNN that, as the result of a recent visit to Honolulu to investigate Obama's background, he concluded that "his father was Frank Marshall Davis." Martin offered no proof for this assertion and implied it was just a gut feeling.

Davis was a black poet and political activist in the 1920s and 30s who moved to Hawaii in 1948 and wrote for a newspaper which the House Un-American Activities Committee accused of being a Communist front. Right-wing websites have been claiming since last winter that Davis was not only a Communist Party member but also the mentor to Obama in his teen years who he refers to in his autobiography as "Frank."........

Martin himself is known for his history of frivolous lawsuits and anti-Semitic remarks.
