Huckabee goes birther, claims (wrongly) that Obama was raised in Kenya



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Cuz, you know, all African-American men were raised in Kenya.

Huckabee truly has to be a bit thick to say this kind of thing. Obama grew up in Indonesia, among other places. Not Kenya. How could he not know that, after all the discussion of Obama's heritage the past several years?  Then again, going on Malzberg's show - man, is there any outlet crazy enough for Republicans NOT to go on it?

More from AMERICAblog Elections: The Right's Field:

Mike Huckabee goes for the Birther vote, with an anti-colonialist bankshot. Media Matters:
Speaking on WOR's The Steve Malzberg Show, Huckabee -- a Fox News host and potential presidential candidate -- said that "one thing that I do know is his having grown up in Kenya, his view of the Brits, for example, very different than the average American ... his perspective as growing up in Kenya with a Kenyan father and grandfather, their view of the Mau Mau Revolution in Kenya is very different than ours because he probably grew up hearing that the British are a bunch of imperialists who persecuted his grandfather."
Obviously Obama did not grow up in Kenya. Huckabee goes on to dodge actually demanding for President Obama's birth certificate because the Clinton machine would have found it if there was something amiss.
