Anybody remember this dude? Raila Odinga, the prime minister of Kenya and friend of Obama who happens to support Sharia law.
I wonder what Obama's gay supporters would think if they knew that he campaigned for a man who has ordered the arrest of homosexuals. No need to worry though because with our corrupt American Pravda, how would they find out?
Read from Weasel Zippers:
Kenyan Prime Minister Obama Campaigned For Orders Police to Arrest All Homosexuals…
"Nice job, Barack…
NAIROBI, Kenya, Nov 28 – 'Prime Minister Raila Odinga has ordered a nationwide crackdown on homosexuals in Kenya.
Mr Odinga on Sunday said that police should arrest anyone found engaging in such behaviours and take appropriate legal action against them.
“We will not tolerate such behaviours in the country. The constitution is very clear on this issue and men or women found engaging in homosexuality will not be spared,” Mr Odinga said.
“Any man found engaging in sexual activities with another man should be arrested. Even women found engaging in sexual activities will be arrested,” the premier warned.
Speaking at a public rally at the Kamukunji grounds in his Nairobi’s Kibera constituency on Sunday afternoon, the Prime Minister cited the recent population census results which put the ratio of men to women equal and wondered why people should engage in homosexuality.
“This [homosexual] kind of behaviours will not be tolerated in this country. Men or women found engaging in those acts deserve to be arrested and will be arrested,” he told a hilarious crowd.'
Via I Hate The Media who adds:
'We’d be willing to bet that most Americans don’t know that Raila Odinga, Barack Obama’s cousin, is the new Prime Minister of Kenya. Nor that he’s an avowed socialist. Nor that Obama went to Kenya to campaign for him. Nor that he’s virulently anti-gay.'"
UPDATE: Admittedly, the Obama-Odinga family tie is questionable, but Obama did indeed appear with Odinga in August 2006. Why?
UPDATE: How innocent was the relationship between Obama and Odinga? Was it really as simple as Diogenes lets on? You be the judge.

Great post, MoreLies!
Well, except for the part that says that Raila Odinga is Barack Obama's cousin. THAT, of course, is a lie... a lie that was debunked years ago.
Oh, and the part that says that Barack Obama campaigned for Raila Odinga. THAT, also, is a lie... a lie that was debunked years ago.
But other than those two lies, you've really tied the acts of a Kenyan politician to the President of the United States. Nice work!

UPDATE: MoreLies lies more!
Why not try to FIND OUT YOURSELF what the 2006 trip was about? Because you don't really care what the trip was about... the insinuation that something was amiss is all you need.
So here's the explanation of what Obama's 2006 trip was about:
"A new book — The Obama Nation by Jerome R. Corsi — attacks Barack Obama as a political extremist. Taken as a whole, the book's primary argument is that Obama is a likely communist sympathizer with ties to Islam who has skillfully hidden his true agenda as he ruthlessly pursues elected office.
We found factual problems with Corsi's book and question its overall tone; read our extended story here.
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... There are a number of problems here...
What we can confirm is that Obama has remained neutral in Kenyan politics, and did not support Odinga during his trip. Odinga attended some of Obama's events while Obama was in Kenya, and clearly wanted to associate himself with Obama, but there is no evidence to indicate that Obama "openly supported" Odinga....
For this statement, we decided to scour the public record for evidence that Obama supported Odinga. We looked to contemporary accounts of the 2006 trip and found a transcript from an interview Obama gave to a Kenyan newspaper that directly contradicts Corsi's allegation.
Question: "As you prepared to travel to Kenya you were obviously conscious of two things. One was about being drawn into local politics. The other was the high expectations of what you could do for Kenya now that you are a senator. How did you handle both?"
Obama: "One of the things we try to do is meet with all parties. I met President Kibaki, I met Uhuru Kenyatta, I was with Raila Odinga. We met the government, met the opposition and met other groups such as human rights activists. What I try to do is give a consistent message on what I think U.S.-Kenya relations should be, but not to suggest somehow that I think one party is better than the other. That's for the Kenyan people to decide."
Also, Obama's gave a high-profile speech the need for the country to move beyond corruption and tribal rivalries. This undercuts Corsi's theory that Obama was motivated by his Luo tribal heritage.
"Finally, ethnic-based tribal politics has to stop," Obama said in his speech at the University of Nairobi on Aug. 28, 2006. "It is rooted in the bankrupt idea that the goal of politics or business is to funnel as much of the pie as possible to one's family, tribe, or circle with little regard for the public good. It stifles innovation and fractures the fabric of the society. Instead of opening businesses and engaging in commerce, people come to rely on patronage and payback as a means of advancing. Instead of unifying the country to move forward on solving problems, it divides neighbor from neighbor."
Corsi states that Obama "openly supported" Raila Odinga. We found public statements from Obama during the trip saying the exact opposite. We found no other evidence to support Corsi's statement, so we rate his statement False."

You just can't stop lying, can you, MoreLies?
First off, it wasn't MY opinion that I posted to show what went on between Obama and Odinga. I cited the Politifact fact-checking people at the St. Petersburg Sun-Times. THEY won a Pulitzer in 2009; what did your rightwingnut blog win?
So don't play it like this is just something I dreamed up. It's not. It's news/fact-checking from a more-than-reputable source. And all you can offer is lame footage from Pamela Geller?
And about that footage:
Notice how she makes sure that NOT ONE WORD of Obama's original appearance with Odinga is heard on the tape. Geller gets all "African" and splices loud African music over top Obama's statements.
And then she splices footage from a 2009 trip that PRESIDENT Obama made to several African countries onto footage from the 2006 trip he made as a U.S. Senator. But does she let her readers KNOW that she's splicing footage from two different trips three years apart? Of course not! All's fair in love and lying!
So please, tell us, O Enlightened MoreLies, what did YOU see in any of this that is something less than innocent, to use your term? Obama didn't campaign FOR anybody, not Odinga OR his opponent.
Or is it just that scary for you to see all those black people gathered in one place, speaking a language you don't understand?
SCARY SCARY BLACK PEOPLE! NEWS AT 11.
Does your god allow you to break the Ninth Commandment with impunity, as long as you're lying about President Obama?
Please keep posting your "updates", MoreLies. Every time you do, it gives me the chance to show your adoring public (which seems to be, maybe on a good day, three rightwingnuts) how much of a liar you are! For honest Americans, you're just a gift that keeps on giving!
