Obama Sued By Clinton Supporter Over Eligibility To Be President

As I said yesterday, the kooks will continue to promote their conspiracy theories and claims that Obama’s birth certificate is a forgery despite all the evidence to the contrary. It also provides an example of how both many on the far right and many Clintonistas think alike. Via America’s Right we have this example of how far the Obama conspiracy theorists are willing to take their fantasies:

A prominent Philadelphia attorney and Hillary Clinton supporter filed suit this afternoon in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic National Committee and the Federal Election Commission. The action seeks an injunction preventing the senator from continuing his candidacy and a court order enjoining the DNC from nominating him next week, all on grounds that Sen. Obama is constitutionally ineligible to run for and hold the office of President of the United States…

Berg cited a number of unanswered questions regarding the Illinois senator’s background, and in today’s lawsuit maintained that Sen. Obama is not a natural born U.S. citizen or that, if he ever was, he lost his citizenship when he was adopted in Indonesia. Berg also cites what he calls “dual loyalties” due to his citizenship and ties with Kenya and Indonesia.

Even if Sen. Obama can prove his U.S. citizenship, Berg stated, citing the senator’s use of a birth certificate from the state of Hawaii verified as a forgery by three independent document forensic experts, the issue of “multi-citizenship with responsibilities owed to and allegiance to other countries” remains on the table.

Update: Ace of Spades, one of many conservative sites which don’t agree with this nonsense, also points out that Berg is a 9/11 conspiracy theorist. Figures. Anyone know of his views on the Council on Foreign Relations?
