FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:



Republican Presidential Candidate Andy Martin closed the Third National Conference on Barack Obama’s Missing Birth Certificate with an attack on the Miami Herald for publishing a race-baiting column by Leonard Pitts



Martin says that Leonard Pitts is nothing more than a racist storm trooper for Barack Obama



Martin says leftist media are increasingly in a frenzy since liberal “Birther” polls show over 100 million Americans are concerned about where and how Obama was born



(NEW YORK)(April 3, 2011) Corruption-fighting Republican Presidential Candidate Andy Martin told a Washington, DC news conference Saturday that the Miami Herald acted irresponsibly in allowing Leonard Pitts to publish a column goading loyal Americans into using racial epithets.



“Affirmative action has to have some limits,” Martin says. “Allowing Pitts to foment race war from his protected perch at the Herald goes too far. Allowing so-called ‘minority journalists’ to engage in conduct that would get a white columnist fired is disrespectful. It is shameful behavior.



“I think that the media have done a good job trying to extirpate the use of racial epithets. Certainly the so-called ‘N-word’ has vanished from responsible media and normal conversation. Today most of us only hear the N-word used by minorities in urban areas. Why is Leonard Pitts trying to get loyal Americans to use racial epithets? The man has lost his mind.



“No one is against Barack Obama because of his half-race. After all, he’s half white. I rarely encounter anyone who even mentions Obama’s race. Instead, they are focused on his incompetence and feckless leadership (of which I will have a column condemning Obama on Monday). And, yes, because of Obama’s own evasive behavior, people have sincere doubts about where he was born.



“Why can’t African-Americans stop playing the race card and start realizing Barack is a loser? Obama is an American loser. After all, it was overwhelmingly white American voters who put this guy in the White House. He didn’t get there by accident. People voted for him. And many people who voted for Obama now regret that vote. Big Time.



“Obama skillfully exploits race as a defense to his own incompetence. This Wednesday Obama is coming to New York to honor a race-baiter: Al Sharpton. Al Sharpton? Honored by the president of the United States? Race-baiting Al Sharpton? What does Leonard Pitts have to say about that? More demands for use of the ‘N-word?’ Who’s really playing the race card here? African-American pols or honest white voters that only want the facts about Obama’s origins?



“Is Chris Matthews of MSNBC a racist? I don’t think so. But he has demanded Obama release the birth certificate. There is a long list of people on both the left and right who want to move on from the issue of Obama's birth certificate. But the American people want answers, not excuses. Republican Party leadership is out of step with the rank-and-file on the Birther question.



“Over one hundred million Americans demand that Obama authorize release of the original, typewritten 1961 document, not the ersatz ‘certificate of live birth’ that he printed out by computer in 2008 (see poll link below in HuffPo). Is that too much to ask of the president of the United States?



“Donald Trump has now effectively joined the Birther movement. The Huffington Post calls me the ‘King of the Birthers’ (see link below) but I am ready to share my bogus royalty with Donald. Trump and I want to see the original document. We want the facts and we want the truth. And we are not going to drop the issue unless and until we get the facts and the truth. That's a fact. So Obama can run, but ultimately he can’t hide from who he is. Or who he isn't.



“The Obamas have been playing rope-a-dope with his family origins for several years. Michelle Obama has said Obama’s ‘home’ is in Kenya (see link below). They feed the frenzy over Obama’s uncertain provenance. And after adding fuel to the fire, they turn around and accuse confused Americans of being ‘racist.’



“I happen to be one of the Birthers who believes that Obama was born in Hawai’i. I still want to see the original, typewritten 1961 birth certificate. As an author and scholar I have that right. The missing document is a legitimate presidential archive.



“Other ‘Birthers’ believe Obama was born in Kenya. Some believe his birthplace is Seattle. But wherever Obama was born, he is a disgrace to the United States and to every American. Those who voted for him, and those who didn’t.



“Obama has been playing the ‘birth certificate game’ for several years. He thinks the issue is a joke. But it is not a joke when serious questions exist and gaps have not been answered. Obama’s persistent refusal to authorize release of the original, typewritten 1961 birth certificate is poisoning our politics. Ultimately, Obama could fall victim to his own too-clever-by-half tactics. Obama could defeat himself for reelection.



“Republicans don’t really have a competent opponent (except me) to challenge Obama. As the guy who literally ‘wrote the book’ on Obama I know his ‘game.’ I have spent 45t years fighting corruption in Chicago and Illinois. But if the current situation keeps up, and if Pitts keeps playing the race card and using the N-word, Obama will defeat himself irrespective of whom the Republicans nominate. Republicans could win in 2012 by default, the same way they won in 2010 by default.



“Racial profiteers such as Leonard Pitts are acting as Obama ‘fronts’ in seeking to trigger a race war over Obama’s potential ineligibility to serve as president. Their tactics could trigger a backlash.



“Obama quietly encourages his racist storm troopers such as Leonard Pitts. Has there ever been a more persistent racist agitator than Al Sharpton? But there is Obama, coming this Wednesday to be at Sharpton's side. And Leonard Pitts thinks Birthers should be using the ‘N-word?’” For shame.



“The Herald should have some limits, even in its opinion columns. Encouraging racism the way Pitts does goes too far. Especially when racism is being used as a defense (or is it offense?) for Obama’s missing birth certificate.”

WASH, DC NEWS CONF Obama "Birther" conference closes: Trump analysis, Pitts slam

Republican Presidential Candidate Andy Martin holds a Washington, DC news conference today, Saturday, to assess the impact of Donald Trump’s “Birther” comments on the upcoming presidential campaign. Martin also attacks Miami Herald columnist Leonard Pitts for maligning Barack Obama’s critics as racists.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:



ATTENTION WASHINGTON, DC DAYBOOK/ASSIGNMENT EDITORS



Republican Presidential Candidate Andy Martin closes the Third National Conference on Barack Obama’s missing personal records with a news conference analyzing the impact Donald Trump is having on the 2012 Republican presidential race



Martin also accuses Obama supporter and Miami Herald columnist Leonard Pitts of being a “despicable racist”



Martin plans a Sunday news conference in New York to provide details of his expanded “Birther” TV campaign ads across the United States



(WASHINGTON, DC)(April 2, 2011) Corruption-fighting Republican Presidential Candidate Andy Martin holds a Washington, DC news conference today, Saturday, April 2nd at 12:30 P.M. to discuss the impact of Donald Trump’s comments on Barack Obama’s “birth certificate problem.” Martin is planning a Sunday news conference in New York to release details of his expanded “Birther” TV campaign advertisements in key presidential primary states.



“I can’t ignore the ‘despicable racism’ of Miami Herald columnist Leonard Pitts’ comments which greeted our arrival at the Washington conference,” Martin says. “Barack Obama’s lack of birth credentials is not a racial issue. Pitts may be the product of affirmative action, but he has obviously not grown beyond blatant appeals to racism in his dwindling Miami base. With his malignant claims about Obama’s critics Pitts shows that he is as much of an America-hater as Barack Obama. With friends like Pitts, Obama doesn’t need enemies.



“Pitts’ demand that Obama’s critics start screaming the ‘N-word’ show that Pitts himself has not grown beyond that type of racist appeal. See link below.



“I have to say our in-person attendance this weekend was devastated by the negative weather reports,” Martin notes. “Nevertheless, our strength is in our online community. That’s why the co-sponsor www.ContrarianCommentary.com is called ‘The Internet Powerhouse.’ We have taped extensive comments and analysis and they will be on our web sites, etc. in the near future. TV weathermen can't stop us in the long run. Predictions for Washington weather were abysmal. Although those forecasts turned out to be overly negative they killed our attendance.



“But once we post my lecture ‘The Politics of the Birth Certificate Controversy’ on the Internet, people will be able to assess our analysis and use it is a guide to future activity in 2012 presidential politics.



“Saturday we close the second session of the conference with an analysis of the impact of Donald Trump’s ‘Birther’ comments and his impact on the 2012 Republican presidential race, as well as a condemnation of the racist remarks of Leonard Pitts. Needless to say, we’ll have some piquant remarks on Trump’s impact on the other candidates.



“For myself, I am delighted that Mr. Trump has ‘endorsed’ the campaign I have been waging for years, namely to make questions about Barack Obama’s family origins a topic of legitimate discussion in the Republican Party. Thank you Donald.



“The fact remains that I am the only fully and formally announced Republican presidential candidate in the Republican Party primaries. And the only one willing to present the ‘Birther’ case as a legitimate campaign issue. I don’t expect that unique status to change anytime soon, if at all,” Martin says.



Leftist media call Andy Martin the “King of the Birthers.” Andy began his original research on Barack Obama in 2004; Andy’s www.ContrarianCommentary.com columns and bestselling book “Obama: The Man Behind The Mask,” created the “Birther” movement that continues to fuel doubts about Obama’s origins.



In February, Martin began running a TV campaign ad on WMUR-TV in New Hampshire demanding to see Obama’s birth certificate (see links below). Andy has now made arrangements to start airing an expanded schedule of Martin’s TV commercial which have been customized for Iowa and South Carolina (details at Sunday news conference). You can see the New Hampshire ad at:
