Clear Channel joins CBS, Lamar in dissing constitutional question
June 11, 2009Officials with Clear Channel Outdoor, which calls itself the world’s largest outdoor advertising company, have joined two other large billboard providers in rejecting four simple words asking the question, “Where’s The Birth Certificate?”
Media buyers for WND have confirmed the company refused to accept a request to purchase billboard space for a campaign that is the brainchild of Joseph Farah, editor and chief executive officer of WND, who believes it is essential to force Obama to produce hard evidence that he is, indeed, a “natural born citizen” as the Constitution requires. He has called upon Americans to donate money to the campaign, which has, thus far, raised about $75,000 for the cause.
Farah maintains Obama has not proved he is constitutionally eligible to serve as president as a “natural born citizen,” and suggests only the release of his long-form birth certificate showing the hospital of his birth, attending physician and other details can conclusively meet that test. Obama’s presidential campaign released to select news organizations only what is known as a “certification of live birth,” a document obtainable in Hawaii in 1961 by Americans actually born outside the country.
Farah confirmed the decisions by three companies not to post the billboard question, however, has not yet even dented the billboards available across America for the campaign, and the number erected will be limited only by the donations to the campaign.
The WND founder said he stepped up because no one else has.
“WND’s reporters have investigated this issue more extensively than the rest of the media combined – sending senior staff writer Jerome Corsi to Hawaii and Kenya in search of evidence,” said Farah. “We have commissioned private investigators in Honolulu. There is simply no persuasive evidence to affirm Obama’s claim to a Hawaiian birth. There is no hospital on the island that will confirm the first black president of the United States was born there. It’s all conjecture. And no controlling legal authority in this country has ever asked Obama to provide the proof.”
The newest billboard up in the campaign is located near the Santa Ana Freeway in Los Angeles.
“I want Americans to understand that this billboard campaign will be successful with or without CBS and Lamar,” said Farah. “There are still millions of billboards available through other companies eager to take this business. The only barrier to success is money. And I am as determined as ever to keep purchasing billboard space as our budget allows.”
Another billboard is in Buena Park, Calif., on Interstate 5 between Los Angeles and Anaheim, a heavily trafficked corridor reaching hundreds of thousands of commuters every week. An earlier billboard went up in Louisiana.

Many have asked why Obama’s name is not included in the billboard. Farah said the matter was carefully considered.
“There are several reasons we chose the message: ‘Where’s the birth certificate?’” he explained. “There is only one birth certificate controversy in this country today – despite the near-total absence of this issue from coverage in the non-WND media. This is a grass-roots issue that resonates around the country, as our own online petition with nearly 400,000 signers suggests. In addition, I like the simplicity of the message. I like the fact that the message will cause some people to ask themselves or others about the meaning of the message. It will stir curiosity. It will create a buzz. I’m assuming when these billboards are springing up all over the country, it might even make some in the news media curious. And there’s one more factor that persuaded me this was the way to go.
“Come 2012, campaign laws will pose restrictions on political advertising mentioning the names of presidential candidates. This one clearly doesn’t. I would like to see the federal government make the case that this is somehow a political ad,” he said.
Further, Farah said, the reaction to the campaign by billboard companies makes the point about how squeamish major media outlets are about questioning powerful political leaders – especially those with whom they agree.
“Imagine the problems we’d have finding billboard space if Obama’s image or name was part of the message,” he said. “CBS and Lamar are afraid of four innocent words!”

About the author
Boycott these companies. They are on the ropes to begin with. It won’t take much to push them over the edge. David Letterman should be fired. CBS will be out of business soon enough.
LIBERALISM US A MENTAL DISORDER>
ABC and CBS will get bail outs if they start falling too far into the red. MSNBC, thanks to the Immelt-Obama alliance will never go bankrupt, at least not financually. All 3 are bankrupt already in viewer numbers.
As I’ve said, this birth certificate thing is a manufactured conspiracy by the Obama thugocracy. If the Clinton or McCain campaigns found nothing, then nothing is there. TheOne and his thugs WANT people to believe there’s something there in order to make those conspiracy theorists look like nutballs. And even if he did come out with something real to end this thing, there are still many who won’t believe it.
We all have the same goal:; Get this man out of office at the end of this term. But going about it by chasing some made up conspiracy, will not do the job.
