Where did the rumors about Barack Obama being born in Kenya first appear?

In your article http://www.mahalo.com/Obama_Birth_Certificate, you say rumors started in 2007, but where?
Tip for best answer: M$0.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

It's always hard to tell the origin of a rumor, which is the reason they are called rumors in the first place. It was being spoken about in 2006 in various forums, then in 2008 the attorney Philip Berg brought it to the attention of the world when he filed a lawsuit claiming the birth certificate Obama had published was false.

Based on the context of those 2006 articles, they are misdated in Google.

A comment like "Would you be beating the drum as hard if McCain had won? " couldn't have really from from 2006.

McCain, by the way, was born in Panama (albeit on a US military base). Let's face it; much of the opposition to Obama was fear of change and he represents change at a lot of levels.
source(s):
On McCain's birth, my source is McCain's book and numerous news stories on him.

Philip Berg filed the claim on August 21, 2008, but I don't have a date for the origin of the rumor. However it seems that the rumor was pre-dated by another (incorrect) rumor that Hawaii was not a state when Obama was born there.
