Excerpt:
"Over at the Women’s Media Center this morning we’re reminded that 37 percent of all Republicans polled by Fox News in 2011, continued to believe President Obama was born outside the United States even after he’d released his Hawaiian “long form” birth certificate.
That was old news. What I’d never before heard was the story of a Honolulu mom who gave birth to twins at the Kapiolani Maternity and Gynecological Hospital at the same time and in the same place the President was born.
As Eleanor Nordyke told WMC,
"I entered the Kapiolani Maternity and Gynecological Hospital on early Friday afternoon, August 4, 1961. I was registered and my expected twins were given Hawaii State birth certificate numbers 10637 and 10638. My labor was slow with poor contractions from a distended uterus."
"Apparently, Stanley Ann Dunham Obama came in shortly after I arrived, because her baby was registered as number 10641. Her labor was strong, and she delivered Barack Hussein Obama early that evening. The next morning my contractions strengthened. The twins finally emerged at 2:05 and 2:12 p.m. Saturday, August 5th. By the way, I don’t want to do that again!”
(LOL bold emphasis added ---- "apparently"? ie. they never met! Mrs. Nordyke is just assuming Ann Dunham was there because of the nearly adjacent, substituted 'Virginia Sunahara' registration number criminally given to BHO-II!)
Though I’ve never seen mention of Nordyke in the mainstream press, the blogosphere seems to be aware of her story, considering it and then suggesting that she’s not telling the truth.
Though some see racism in the “birther” movement, I see confirmation bias, a cognitive distortion that allows us to accept the factual information that confirms our existing beliefs and reject as untrue, unconfirmed or sinister anything that contradicts them."
(It appears that the author is experiencing a bad case of 'cognitive distortion' herself, as judged by her drawing such an uncritical conclusion from Mrs. Nordyke's above quoted, evasive statement. To my knowledge, Mrs. Nordyke has NEVER claimed that she actually met Ann Dunham or saw BHO-II during the entire period of probably 4 or 5 days while both mothers were supposedly present at Kapiolani hospital!)
