HYMAN: Obama's Kenya ghosts

Mark Hyman
Sunday, October 12, 2008

COMMENTARY:

About 50 parishioners were locked into the Assemblies of God church before it was set ablaze. They were mostly women and children. Those who tried to flee were hacked to death by machete-wielding members of a mob numbering 2,000.

The 2008 New Year Day atrocity in the Kenyan village Eldoret, about 185 miles northwest of Nairobi, had all the markings of the Rwanda genocide of a decade earlier.

By mid-February 2008, more than 1,500 Kenyans were killed. Many were slain by machete-armed attackers. More than 500,000 were displaced by the religious strife. Villages lay in ruin. Many of the atrocities were perpetrated by Muslims against Christians.

The violence was led by supporters of Raila Odinga, the opposition leader who lost the Dec. 27, 2007, presidential election by more than 230,000 votes. Odinga supporters began the genocide hours after the final election results were announced Dec. 30. Mr. Odinga was a member of Parliament representing an area in western Kenya, heavily populated by the Luo tribe, and the birthplace of Barack Obama's father.

Mr. Odinga had the backing of Kenya's Muslim community heading into the election. For months he denied any ties to Muslim leaders, but fell silent when Sheik Abdullahi Abdi, chairman of the National Muslim Leaders Forum, appeared on Kenya television displaying a memorandum of understanding signed on Aug. 29, 2007, by Mr. Odinga and the Muslim leader. Mr. Odinga then denied his denials.

If left up to Hussein, he would turn America into the same Christian-killing fields that Kenya has become. Of that I have NO doubt. He has way too many radical and criminal associations to NOT see that as clear as crystal.

But of course, the StuckOnStupid Obamazombies will be unable to see ANYthing but the shiny sheen on Obama's butt before they kneel to kiss it.

of course hussein will deliver his brotha's
by dadawg

into a field of unarmed victims, esp his so beloved Hopeheads. Hell, Hussein has a documented list of Hopeheads to give to his brotha's, recorded in the book of donors, they want even have to recon them, their names are already in the book.

They shall be as the lil' boy who cried WOLF and I will ignore their cries, they deserve what they Hope for and the Change will be for the better................Hopefull­y.

If he is the true Hopehead messiah, why does a democrat have to sue Hussein for proof of citizenship? Why would the DNC help Hussein hide those facts (the truth) from it's loyal base of Hopeheads?

It will be the 'kiss of death' for Hopeheads!

I have no problem with the lefties/Hopeheads getting exactly what they deserve. That's called justice in my book. But unfortunately, for them to get what they deserve they will have to take down our country (or die) and the rest of us.....

the other half of the country that opposes Hussein and socialism, radicalism, terrorists, Muslime rule, and communism...

will be forced to go down with the ship, along with the duh-uh lefties. And that is anything BUT justice.

This is full of lies.

Corsi rises from the ashes? Since he was deported from Kenya, he's been attempting to revitalize his book here. Hannity, and now the Washington Times, welcomed him with open arms.

Regarding the massacre, the story appears to come from Corsi himself. I can find no independent story to correlate the Washington Times story.

<link>

In the first paragraph of his opening dispatch from Nairobi on Thursday for the conservative WorldNetDaily website, Corsi made clear his agenda, alleging that Odinga, who he claims has close ties to Obama, "was appointed to the [prime minister] position to stop a wave of violence by Muslim supporters" protesting against the flawed presidential election. On Friday he claimed Muslims had killed "50 Christians [who had] sought refuge in a Christian church" in Eldoret in January.

Both claims are false. Kenya's post-election violence was ethnic-based rather than religious. If anything, the Kalenjin perpetrators of the church massacre were Christian.

Regarding Corsi's assertions concerning Obama and his Kenyan ties, from Politifact: <link>

Corsi's description of Obama's role in Kenyan politics is filled with errors and innuendo. Corsi focuses on a 2006 trip Obama made to Africa as a U.S. senator. The visit included stops in South Africa, Kenya and Chad.

Obama's trip came about a year before elections were scheduled in Kenya. On one side was incumbent President Mwai Kibaki; one of his main challengers was Raila Odinga.

Corsi alleges in his book that Obama openly supported Odinga, because Obama wanted to avenge his father's tribe, the Luo, against rival tribes. Corsi also suggests that Odinga is a socialist and was part of an alliance with Muslims to expel Christians in Kenya.

There are a number of problems here. First, we reported previously that Odinga is not a socialist. The alliance Corsi describes between Muslims and socialists seems conjecture at best. Corsi himself says his case hinges on a secret memo that he admits may or may not exist. Corsi then states that Odinga "professes to be an Anglican Christian" but adds that "concerns even today continue to circulate among Kenya's Christian leaders ... that Odinga intends to pursue an undeclared radical Islamic political agenda." His argument here is highly speculative.

Odinga is not Barrack Obama's Cousin. From Snopes:

More from Politifact: <link>

• “Who just happened to be his cousin, Raila Odinga, who is a socialist trained in East Germany.”

This part of the claim stems from an interview Odinga did with BBC News in January 2008. ( Listen to it here. ) In a discussion about the political situation in Kenya amid fallout from a disputed election — where Odinga’s party rejected official results and vowed to install Odinga as the “people’s president” — the following exchange occurs:

Odinga: “Barack Obama’s father is my maternal uncle.”

BBC: “You’re related to him?”

Odinga: “Yes, I am.”

No, you’re not, says the Obama campaign.

We spoke to three Kenya experts who dismiss this part of the claim as well, suggesting Odinga made the connection to give himself more legitimacy during the political crisis.

“It’s stretched to the point of ridiculousness,” said Joel D. Barkan, political science professor emeritus at the University of Iowa and senior associate at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C. “To my knowledge, they are not first cousins in the normal sense. To my knowledge, there’s absolutely no relationship at all.”

If Hussein has nothing to hide, why not simply deliver the documents to the courts?
