World Net Daily made, and paid for, ‘Obama affidavit’ story (Remember elections clerk, Tim Adams?)

A rather startling admission was made the other evening by Timothy Adams, the former clerk of the Honolulu elections board who made headlines last year when he claimed he and others in his office “knew” that President Obama didn’t have a valid birth certificate on file anywhere in Hawaii.

Adams made the admission during an appearance on “Reality Check Radio,” a Blogtalk Radio program which focuses on debunking lies perpetrated by the Birther Movement. It’s run by RC, one of the Fogbowers.

You’ll remember that earlier this year, the Right-wing nutjob publication World Net Daily ran a story by alleged journalist Jerome Corsi concerning an affidavit that Adams had reportedly sworn out, attesting to all the claims he’d made about the lack of a Barack Obama birth certificate. The report caused quite a stir in Birthestan, with Birthers — true to their nature — calling it the Holy Grail and ignoring the fact that, for a variety of reasons, the affidavit was of no legal import.

Not to mention that it was full of lies.

2. Shouldn't Adams be prosecuted for lying when he was a clerk?

3. Affidavit that Adams had reportedly sworn out

WND et al. left a bit of wiggle room
