Thanks to Stu for the link.
No way, Is this real or is it a "new" story with an old twist...If its an actual article by the AP - Where was the out rage when they printed he was Kenyan-Born ?
ReplyDeleteI sooooooo hope this is an actual article and not a fake !
Follow the link. It's from a net archive. Looks real to me, even the date.
ReplyDeleteHis name is misspelled. Hate to say, but I don't think it's real, folks.

Seems this is true. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Ryan_(politician)
ReplyDeleteThis was how he was elected in 04. Dirty tricks against the strongest Republican in the race. And it was a few months before his big coming out party at the 04 Demo convention.
ReplyDeleteSo, I could see the name being misspelled, especially by the East African Standard.
There's a few articles I found last night referring to him as Kenyan born or born overseas. This article is debunked at Snopes, for whatever that's worth. I personally think Snopes can be full of shit as evidenced by one of their articles I challenged as I have personal knowledge that what they claim is true isn't. They pretty much blew me off after an e-mail exchange so I wouldn't think they're the arbiters of all that is true all the time.
