Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's humiliating "Birther" investigation apparently has hit a snag in the funding department.
According to Arpaio, the "investigation" is being funded by donations to his "Birther" posse, and not with taxpayer money (which is a huge relief). However, the money, it seems, has dried up -- with, by Arpaio's estimate, only a few more weeks of work to do.
"Sheriff Joe Arpaio's 'Cold Case Posse' could easily be derailed for
lack of financial support coupled with attacks being launched against
his office by Obama's Justice Department," Birther conspiracy theorist Joseph Farah wrote on the conspiracy website World Net Daily yesterday.
According to Farah, "time is truly running out" for the Birthers to prove once and for all that Obama is a Kenyan version of the Manchurian Candidate.
We spoke with the sheriff about the investigation earlier this year. See that post here.
In a nut-(job)-shell, Arpaio seems to think the key to solving the "Birther" mystery is Hawaiian twins and microfiche.
"No one has talked about microfiche. The controversy has been over the
birth certificate -- maybe the numbers are not in sequence, or it's been
forged; I can go on and on," Arpaio (umm) explains. "To help the president of the United
States, let's go to the microfiche."
According to the sheriff, two twins -- the Nordyke twins -- were born on
August 5, 1961 at the same hospital as the president. August 5, 1961,
is one day after President Obama was (allegedly -- if you ask a
"birther") born in Hawaii. The twins' birth certificates can be found on
microfiche documents that the sheriff says are on file with the Hawaii
Department of Health, or some Hawaiian government agency.
If Obama was born in the same hospital the day before the twins,
according to the sheriff, the posse should be able to locate
the president's birth certificate on similar microfiche files.
The sheriff says his "posse" will finish the "investigation" in early
2012, and that a detailed report about its findings will follow.
But that might not happen without your support -- Farah suggests
that anyone who wants to the "truth" about Obama's citizenship should
donate $5 to Arpaio's posse.
