Just when you thought it was safe to get out of bed, yet another fake birth certificate pops up. I don’t know how old this puppy is, but I just found it.
This is what I would call a “birther fantasy” certificate. It encapsulates the mythology of Barack Obama born in Africa, and registered by the statement of his grandmother. This is the kind of certificate that was claimed to be possible in some of the birther lawsuits, such as Keyes v Bowen and birther attorneys like Paul Jensen.
There are a number of obvious problems with the certificate, the most notable of which is the citation of HRS 338 17.8 at the bottom, a law that wasn’t passed until 21 years later. Also the certificate number is missing. The Roman numeral II is next to the first name and not next to the last name where it should be. The Roman numeral II is out of line with the rest of the text. The registration dates of real certificates are rubber stamped, not typed. Obviously the check boxes for Parent and MD have been “whited out” from the original certificate. The race of the father is wrong. Various lines on the form are missing where they have been erased, for example under the Race of Mother. The letters “pm” are the same size, but on real forms the “m” is pre-printed and much smaller. There is an attendant signature, which there wouldn’t be with an out of state birth. But the main thing is that Hawaii didn’t register out of state births in 1961.
After the subject of the previous post, I felt we needed to lighten the air. So, here are some home remedies:
AMAZINGLY SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES (That Really Work!)
1. AVOID CUTTING YOURSELF WHEN SLICING VEGETABLES BY GETTING SOMEONE ELSE TO HOLD THE VEGETABLES WHILE YOU SLICE.
2. AVOID ARGUMENTS WITH THE FEMALES ABOUT LIFTING THE TOILET SEAT BY USING THE SINK.
3. FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE SUFFERERS ~ SIMPLY CUT YOURSELF AND BLEED FOR A FEW MINUTES, THUS REDUCING THE PRESSURE ON YOUR VEINS. REMEMBER TO USE A TIMER.
4. A MOUSE TRAP PLACED ON TOP OF YOUR ALARM CLOCK WILL PREVENT YOU FROM ROLLING OVER AND GOING BACK TO SLEEP AFTER YOU HIT THE SNOOZE BUTTON.
5. IF YOU HAVE A BAD COUGH, TAKE A LARGE DOSE OF LAXATIVES. THEN YOU'LL BE AFRAID TO COUGH.
6. YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE ~ WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.
7. IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.
DAILY THOUGHT:
SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES - NOT REALLY GOOD FOR ANYTHING, BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS.
Not to be outdone by the threats to the life of the President by Larry Sinclair, Birther Wingnut "attorney", Orly Taitz, has issued her own call to arms. This, from her website:
What is the real intention of this Kenyan, Indonesian communist usurper? Is it to provide security for us or to destroy our security? Judge for yourself.Seeing targeted destruction of our economy, our security, dissipation of American jobs, massive corruption in the Government, Congress Department of Justice and Judiciary, it might be time to start rallies and protests using our second amendment right to bare arms and organise in militias.
Assuming her threat does not mean that she is asking people to take off their shirts or roll up their sleeves, by openly advocating armed revolt, accusing virtually the entire federal government of treason, and using this toxic language against President Obama, she is making it significantly more likely that someone actually will attempt to assassinate him, which is her obvious intention.
I recognize that many of her actions are probably protected by the First Amendment, however, in her capacity as a California attorney, she has violated numerous Rules of Professional Conduct and should, at the very least, be disbarred.
I am hoping that Ms. Taitz and Mr. Sinclair may soon have common visitors -- the FBI.
Just as expected, Judge David Carter has dismissed the case of Barnett, Keyes, et al v. Obama. Here are just a few of his comments:
"Plaintiffs’ arguments through Taitz have generally failed to aid the Court. Instead, Plaintiffs’ counsel has favored rhetoric seeking to arouse the emotions and prejudices of her followers rather than the language of a lawyer seeking to present arguments through cogent legal reasoning...
"This Court exercised extreme patience when Taitz endangered this case being heard at all...
"Taitz also continually refused to comply with court rules and procedure.
"Taitz encouraged her supporters to contact this Court, both via letters and phone calls. It was improper and unethical for her as an attorney to encourage her supporters to attempt to influence this Court's decision.
"Additionally, the Court has received several sworn affidavits that Taitz asked potential witnesses that she planned to call before this Court to perjure themselves. This Court is deeply concerned that Taitz may have suborned perjury through witnesses she intended to bring before this Court."
"Plaintiffs have encouraged the Court to ignore these mandates of the Constitution; to disregard the limits on its power put in place by the Constitution ... Plaintiffs have attacked the judiciary, including every prior court that has dismissed their claim, as unpatriotic and even treasonous for refusing to grant their requests and for adhering to the terms of the Constitution which set forth its jurisdiction. Respecting the constitutional role and jurisdiction of this Court is not unpatriotic. Quite the contrary, this Court considers commitment to that constitutional role to be the ultimate reflection of patriotism."

After the negativity surrounding Orly Taitz and the birthers, I thought it appropriate to lighten the mood with this post. Enjoy:

Now that Orly Taitz has ignored Judge Clay Land's Order for a $20,000 sanction, Orly Taitz is taking her appeal to the 11th Circuit in Atlanta. Taitz represents soldiers who are fighting deployment on the basis of their belief that the Commander-in-chief is not eligible to serve.
Judge Clay Land has called her filings frivolous and sanctioned her twice. The most recent sanction was $20,000.
In her court filing, Taitz accused Judge Land of “completely ignoring ninety percent of the argument and facts, making extremely rude and demeaning remarks, showing bias; taken together, appear to be designed to silence her and, intimidate her.“
Now, the case gets even more intriguing. Ms. Taitz was planning to call a man named Lucas Smith to testify on behalf of her client in a case she filed in Orange County this is awaiting a decision by Judge David Carter on the motion of the Defendants to Dismiss the Case. Mr. Smith, however, paints a picture of Ms. Taitz not paying attention to details, sleeping with her disbarred attorney legal assistant, Charles Lincoln III, and attempting to get both Mr. Smith and another witness to make up stories and lie to the court under oath. Here is the complete Declaration of Lucas Daniel Smith. You can click to download it. It was just filed with the Court.
Among the charges her witness levels at Ms. Taitz is that she and her husband are independently wealthy, but that she will not pay her staff or help, yet buys expensive meals with donations from her supporters. Ms. Taitz also reportedly asked Mr. Lucas to lie to the court and say that Mr. Obama had tried to have him killed upon exiting a recent meeting at the Court.
Another interesting tidbit is that Mr. Smith says that Ms. Taitz told him that she had obtained the earlier phony Kenyan Birth Certificate on Obama from the Mossad. Mr. Smith also reports that Ms. Taitz is unable to comprehend details and that her attention span is like that of a small child...perhaps 15 minutes.
It gets curiouser and curiouser...

Birther wingnut Attorney/Dentist/Realtor Orly Taitz has attacked Judge Clay Land's $20,000 sanction as "political lynching" and filed an appeal. She says she will not pay the fine and Judge Land has indicated she has 30 days in which to comply or the Attorney General will begin collection proceedings against her. In her appeal, she accuses the very patient Judge Land of "pervasively extreme and outrageous prejudice and bias" against her. She just doesn't seem to get it.
Her complete filing is available at Talking Points Memo: ORLY TAITZ APPEAL.
A formal complaint has already been filed with the California State Bar Association and Ms. Taitz' continued disrespect of the Court and her lack of integrity in dealing with the Court will surely result in her disbarment. It can't happen too soon as her fifteen minutes of fame have lasted a bit too long.

Judge Clay land pulled no punches in his Order for Sactions in the amount of $20,000 vs. Birther Wingnut Orly Taitz. Here is a small portion of his Order:
The Court finds that counsel’s conduct was willful and not merely negligent. It demonstrates bad faith on her part. As an attorney, she is deemed to have known better. She owed a duty to follow the rules and to respect the Court. Counsel’s pattern of conduct conclusively establishes that she did not mistakenly violate a provision of law. She knowingly violated Rule 11. Her response to the Court’s show cause order is breathtaking in its arrogance and borders on delusional. She expresses no contrition or regret regarding her misconduct. To the contrary, she continues her baseless attacks on the Court. Defiantly defending the “position of the patriots,” she scoffs at the notion that a federal court would
consider sanctioning her when she is on the side of such freedom fighters as the late Justice Thurgood Marshall, a comparison that, if accepted, would disgrace Justice Marshall’s singular achievements. Counsel’s bad faith warrants a substantial sanction. Counsel’s misconduct was not an isolated event; it was part of a pattern that advanced frivolous arguments and disrespectful personal attacks on the parties and the Court. This pattern infected theentire proceeding, not just an isolated pleading. Her initial
Complaint was legally frivolous. Upon being so informed, counsel followed it with a frivolous motion for reconsideration. In response to the Court’s show cause order, she filed a frivolous motion to recuse. In all of counsel’s frivolous filings, she hurled personal insults at the parties and the Court. Rather than assert legitimate legal arguments, counsel chose to accuse the Court of treason and of being controlled by the “Obama Machine.” She had no facts to support her claims–but her diatribe would play well to her choir. This pattern of conduct reveals that it will be difficult to get counsel’s attention. A significant sanction is necessary to deter such conduct. Whether Ms. Taitz had the subjective purpose to cause injury through her conduct cannot be easily ascertained. It is clear to the Court, however, that objectively her actions demonstrate an attempt by her to smear the Court and the judiciary because she did not prevail. She accused the Court of treason based upon its dismissal of her case. She maintained that the district courts in the Eleventh Circuit must be controlled by the vast “Obama conspiracy” because
otherwise she would have prevailed on her claim. She suggested that the Court violated the Code of Judicial Conduct by engaging in ex parte communications when she had no evidence to support the suggestion and when the credible evidence undisputably refuted the suggestion. She frivolously asserted that the Court had a financial interest in the litigation, posting the web site for the undersigned’s financial disclosure reports in her briefing, for no reason other than to advance a false assertion. Counsel’s smear attempts were not limited to the Court; she appears to relish calling the President names that added nothing to her legal arguments. The Court concludes from this conduct that counsel did have an intent to injure anyone associated with the litigation who did not agree with her.
Judge Land finished his order with: " While the Court derives no pleasure from its imposition of sanctions upon counsel Orly Taitz, it likewise has no reservations about the necessity of doing so. A clearer case could not exist; a weaker message would not suffice."

Judge Clay Land didn't take too kindly to the outrageous accusations leveled at him by Birther Attorney Orly Taitz and has responded with a $20,000 sanction against the dentist/realtor/attorney. The “Birther queen” has been slapped with a five-figure fine for “wasting the judicial resources” of the Middle District of Georgia, where she’d filed one of her numerous lawsuits demanding that President Obama prove his citizenship before deploying soldiers to Iraq and Afghanistan.
The judgment, which calls Taitz’s case and tactics “delusional”:

Now that the Zsa Zsa Gabor of the Birther movement, Orly Taitz, has been exposed as an incompetent "attorney" who has suborned perjury by encouraging her "witnesses" to make up stories about murder and more to influence a Federal judge, the birther movement is split.
It is our pleasure to debunk another wingnut, Paul Hollrah, a contributing editor for FAMILY SECURITY MATTERS, and a Senior Fellow at the Lincoln Heritage Institute.
Mr. Hollrah has authored an article entitled, ONE SIMPLE QUESTION ABOUT OBAMA, on the despicable website run by Obama hater Jeff Rense at rense.com. Hollrah is convinced that Obama is not a "natural born citizen" and here is his hilarious argument:
The American people not only deserve to have answers to these questions, they must have answers. It makes the debate over Obama's citizenship a rather short and simple one.
Q: Did he travel to Pakistan in 1981, at age 20? A : Yes, by his own admission.
Q: What passport did he travel under? A: There are only three possibilities: 1) He traveled with a U.S. Passport, 2) He traveled with a British passport, or 3) He traveled with an Indonesia passport.
Q: Is it possible that Obama traveled with a U.S. Passport in 1981? A: No. It is not possible. Pakistan was on the U.S. State Department's "no travel" list in 1981.
Conclusion:
When Obama went to Pakistan in 1981 he was traveling either with a British passport or an Indonesian passport.
If he were traveling with a British=2 0passport that would provide proof he was born in Kenya on August 4, 1961, not in Hawaii as he claims. And if he were traveling with an Indonesian passport that would tend to prove he relinquished whatever previous citizenship he held, British or American, prior to being adopted by his Indonesian step-father in 1967.
Whatever the truth of the matter, the American people need to know how he managed to become a "natural born" American citizen between 1981 and 2008.
These birthers are truly amazing. The one thing they will never consider is FACTS. One right wing nut made up the lie about Americans being banned from travel to Pakistan in 1981 and the rest have run with it to their hearts' content. NEVER MIND THAT AMERICANS WERE FULLY ABLE TO TRAVEL TO PAKISTAN IN 1981. They take a piece of misinformation that fits their argument and make it their own. Who cares about facts?
What is the Lincoln Heritage Institute? You can figure that out by simply reading one paragraph of their "open letter" to the Democratic Party. Here it is:
"Whereas the Democratic party has used racist demagoguery to deceive African Americans about the history of the Republican Party that:
(a) started as the anti-slavery party in 1854,
(b) fought to free African Americans from slavery,
(c) designed Reconstruction, a ten-year period of unprecedented political power for African Americans,
(d) passed the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments to the U. S. Constitution granting African Americans freedom, citizenship, and the right to vote,
(e) passed the Civil Rights Acts of 1866 and 1875 granting African Americans protection from the Black Codes and prohibiting racial discrimination in public accommodations,
(f) passed the Civil Rights Act of 1957 and the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1965 granting African Americans protection from the Jim Crow laws,
(g) established Affirmative Action programs to help African Americans proper with Republican President Richard Nixon's 1969 Philadelphia Plan that set the first goals and timetables and his 1972 Equal Employment Opportunity Act that made Affirmative Action Programs the law of our nation, and
(h) never sponsored or launched a program, passed laws, or engaged in practices that resulted in the death of millions of African Americans,"
This is an organization that quite frankly HATES the Democratic Party and will do anything to uproot it. So, you now know the motives behind a new article written by Mr. Hollrah as a representative of this organization in which he says Mr. Obama must resign. His reason? In his own words: "it is only necessary to establish the facts surrounding Obama’s travel to Indonesia and Pakistan in the summer of 1981."
It's obvious that established facts mean nothing when your goal is to destroy someone. Let's take the possibilities Hollah describes. The "Indonesian passport". Obama could not have traveled under an Indonesian passport because he was NEVER adopted by his stepfather and nobody has ever shown a shred of evidence that he was. Obama's stepfather had no authority over Obama as a child at the time because he was not the biological father and there has been no evidence as to prove that Obama was adopted by his indonesian father -- period.
Furthermore in Indonesia during that time children of foreign indonesian marriages, especially mixed marriages had to reside in Indonesia for 5 years or had to be 5 years of age to be able to gain citizenship and to be legally adopted by his indonesian step father. Because he only came to indonesia at 6 years and left at 10 years none of this applied.
In addition Obama would have had to give up his US natural born citizenship to become an Indonesian and then to officially, in the eyes of the law, attend school. He could not give up his citizenship as he was too young. What was written on the school documents were not legal in the eyes of indonesia or US law. Soetoro had no legal right to proclaim Obama anything and probably broke the law to get Obama into school. END OF THAT POSSIBLE SCENARIO.
Next scenario: Obama traveled under a British passport due to his birth in Kenya.
IMPOSSIBLE. His mother was never in Kenya. There is no proof that she was ever there. Even the Kenya government was unable to find any evidence that she was, and to try to say she was given the circumstances at the time is downright ridiculous. Once again, his mother was living in Hawaii in 1961 with her parents. Her "husband" (actually her marriage to Obama Sr. was probably illegal since he was already married with a couple of children) was in Kenya in 1960, but not again until 1965. So in order for us to believe Obama was born in Kenya, we would have to believe that a pregnant 18-year-old white girl from Kansas, left the comfort of her parents' home when she was 8 months pregnant to travel to war-torn Kenya which was still suffering from the ravages of the Mau Mau uprising WITHOUT HER HUSBAND, just to give birth and then travel back to Hawaii to quickly report his birth to the Honolulu Advertiser to meet the definition of Natural Born Citizen so that some day he could be eligible to run for President. Even the most dedicated stoner wouldn't believe this one. Obama-haters on the other hand orgasmically swoon at the "possibility".
HOLLAH'S CONCLUSION IN HIS OWN WORDS: "Conclusion: When Obama went to Pakistan in 1981 he was traveling either with a British passport or an Indonesian passport. If he was traveling with a British passport that would provide proof that he was born in Kenya on August 4, 1961, not in Hawaii as he claims." (DISPROVEN)
And if he was traveling with an Indonesian passport that would tend to prove that he relinquished whatever previous citizenship he held, British or American, prior to being adopted by his Indonesian step-father in 1967.(DISPROVEN)
"Whatever the truth of the matter, the American people need to know how he managed to become a “natural born” American citizen between 1981 and 2008. Given the destructive nature of his plans for America, as illustrated by his speech before Congress and the disastrous spending plan he has presented to Congress, the sooner we learn the truth of all this, the better. Is he a “natural born” citizen, or isn’t he? It seems pretty clear from the available evidence that he is not. If that proves to be the case he should minimize the damage to the country and follow the Nixon example; he should simply resign from office so that we can begin to clean up the mess he leaves behind."
HOLLAH MISREPRESENTS THE FACTS AND IS PROVEN WRONG!
Hollah continues: "So it is well established that Obama did travel to Indonesia and Pakistan in 1981. What is not established, and what is critically important, is what passport he used during that trip. There are only three possibilities: Obama could have traveled under a U.S. passport… a passport first issued when he and his mother moved from Hawaii to Indonesia in 1967; he could have traveled under an Indonesian passport, issued following his adoption by his Indonesian stepfather; and it is conceivable that, if he was, in fact, born in Kenya in 1961, he could still have been a British subject, traveling with a British passport. So which is it?" WE HAVE DISPROVEN THE INDONESIAN OR BRITISH (KENYAN) PASSPORT THEORY. LET'S MOVE ON:
"Unfortunately for Obama, in the present circumstance, Pakistan was under martial law in 1981 and certain undesirables… Christians, Jews, and Americans… were prohibited from entering the country. Pakistan was on the U.S. State Department’s “no travel” list..."
This is where Hollah's whole theory goes where it belongs . . . right down the toilet. This clown apparently read on some right-wing blog about this so-called fact that Americans were banned from travel to Pakistan in 1981. AMERICANS WERE NOT BANNED FROM TRAVEL TO PAKISTAN IN 1981. Instead of joining the ranks of the egotistical jerks who repeatedly bring this false claim against Obama he could have easily researched this subject as THE CANDID BLOGGER has done. Here are the facts:
I found this article in a 1981 edition of the New York Times. Read it an weap, Mr. Hollah, and take this information with you back to the other Obama-haters who should be sanctioned at the very least. For your enjoyment:
The U.S. State Department Travel Advisory to Pakistan in 1981 confirms the newspaper account:

Almost a week ago, leading birther QueenOrly Taitz,filed a Kenyan birth certificate in federal court, which she claimed was President Obama’s. A judge on Thursday ordered Taitz’s motion stricken from the court record so there was no hearing on the motion and the Kenyan document was thrown out on procedural grounds.
The judge’s order stated that Taitz’s motion was improperly filed because it was in the wrong format, it lacked proper notice, she failed to identify her Calif. State Bar No., and the description of the motion conflicts or is different from that which counsel entered on the Court’s e-docket.
Furthermore, the judge ordered that the documents be stricken from the record and NOT RETURNED to Ms. Taitz.

Embarrassed because the Kenyan Birth Certificate she filed with a California Court has been exposed as a very poor fake, Birther Queen Orly Taitz (Zsa Zsa Gabor?) revealed herself in an interesting interview on MSNBC with David Schuster and Tamron Hall. Judge for yourself:
If that video is too slow or has too much traffic, try this one:
What was wrong with the birth certificate?
The most obvious problems:
- It records Barack Obama Sr's age as "26." Obama Sr was born in 1936; his son was born in 1961.
- Its publication date is February 17, 1964, but it purports be a document of the "Republic of Kenya." Kenya did not become a Republic until December 12, 1964, a year after it won independence from Great Britain.
- It's signed by "registrar E.F. Lavender." Earth Friendly Lavender is a kind of detergent, and government officials who use vanity initials on official documents are, to put it mildly, rare.
- The kicker? The image is part of the extremely ill-informed conspiracy theory that Obama was born in Mombasa--conveniently, one of the more Muslim parts of the country.
This has always been a red flag for conspiracy theorists, so it deserves some explanation. Barack Obama Sr. was born and educated in Nyanza Province, in southwestern Kenya, on Lake Victoria. This is the area where Obama's family lived and continues to live; Sarah Obama, the step-grandmother of the president, lives in Nyang'oma Kogelo, a small town in the province. But Mombasa is a city on the Indian Ocean, a thousand miles to the east. It didn't even have an international airport until 1979. And the city wasn't even part of Kenya when the future president was born. Mombasa was a part of Zanzibar until December 12, 1963, when it became part of the newly independent Kenya.
The new forgery? Why, it claims that the president was born in Coast General Hospital in Mombasa.
- As some FreeRepublic posters have pointed out, the document contains a number that's either a humorous coincidence or a wink by the forger. It's number 47,044. Barack Obama, 47 years old, is the 44th president of the United States.
It's not quite as obvious as the forgery that Philip Berg fell for when he submitted a birth certificate in his first lawsuit that was signed by Dudley Do-Right, but it's still amusing.

Thanks to your amazing response, we have already gathered more than 15,000 signatures calling on CNN to credibly address Lou Dobbs' frequent promotion of fringe conspiracies about President Obama's birth certificate. Unfortunately, CNN president Jon Klein has resorted to not telling the truth in order to defend Dobbs. Yesterday, Klein told TV reporters that Dobbs' coverage of the issue has been "all about the phenomenon of doubters" -- with Klein suggesting that Dobbs has done nothing more than host discussions of why "some people doubt" that Obama is a U.S.-born citizen.
Dobbs has done far more than simply ask why there are still people who doubt Obama's citizenship. He has legitimized their conspiracy theories by demanding that Obama produce documentation -- to prove something that Klein himself acknowledges is beyond doubt. Rather than misleading the public, he should credibly address CNN's still growing Dobbs problem by simply telling the truth.
Please sign our petition today and demand that CNN address its Lou Dobbs problem in a credible manner.
It is no secret that the birther movement is tinged with racism. [1] By legitimizing birther conspiracy theorists, CNN is doing more than simply pushing a baseless story and harming its journalistic credibility. It is also empowering bigotry, xenophobia, and hate. Is this what "the most trusted name in news" has come to represent?
Dobbs' promotion of the birther movement is hardly the first time he has tarnished CNN's reputation by giving voice to outlandish, racially charged conspiracy theories on the network. He promoted the idea that the Bush administration was attempting to form a "North American Union" between the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and fear-mongered over the supposed "reconquista movement" by which Mexicans were planning to take over the American Southwest. In 2005, he suggested that immigrants were responsible for a spike in leprosy cases in the U.S. -- even though the purported spike was based on false reports and had never actually occurred. Despite being debunked repeatedly, Dobbs defended his leprosy report publicly before being forced to offer a correction.
It's the same story all over again. It needs to stop. So please sign our petition today and demand that CNN address its Lou Dobbs problem in a credible manner.
Dobbs' promotion of the birthers puts him at odds with many of his CNN colleagues, as well as far-right media figures like Fox News' Bill O'Reilly, who called the story "absurd," and conservative pundit Ann Coulter, who dismissed Dobbs as "wrong." But it does align Dobbs, Klein, and the entire network with deeply controversial figures within the birther community. Such people include Andy Martin, who has made anti-Semitic and racially charged comments; convicted felon G. Gordon Liddy, who plotted but never followed through on murders and bombings; 9-11 "Truther" Philip Berg; perennial candidate for public office Alan Keyes, who has reportedly accused Obama of taking the "slaveholder's position" on abortion; a pastor who has prayed for Obama's death; and the discredited right-wing website WorldNetDaily, who examined Obama's birth certificate published on factcheck.org and reported it was legitimate, then later recanted so they could lead the movement against him.

As the birther wingnuts continue their desperate attempts to remove the first African-American President in United States history from office, state officials in Hawaii again are confirming that President Barack Obama was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961, just as published in the newspapers at that time.
Health Director Dr. Chiyome Fukino said Monday she has seen the original birth records that verify Obama was born in Hawaii, and is a "natural-born American citizen."
Fukino made the announcement in hopes of ending any lingering rumors about Obama's citizenship. She issued a similar press release Oct. 31.
Of course the wingnuts like Orly Taitz, Phil Berg and Andy Martin will continue their relentless and sadistic assault on Obama, his good name, his reputation, ANYTHING they can do to discredit or insult him, supposedly based upon constitutional reasons. Let's face it, many of these attacks are racially inspired.
Andy Martin has a history of making anti-Semitic and racially charged comments, such as claiming that "African-American judges ... circle the wagons and try to protect Barry [Obama]" and that "African-Americans are willing to corrupt and abuse their-public offices to defend their own sleazy candidate for office." The Chicago Tribune and several federal courts have stated that Martin has called a judge a "crooked, slimy Jew, who has a history of lying and thieving common to members of his race." In October 2008, Martin appeared on Fox News' Hannity's America and smeared Obama by claiming he was "training for a radical overthrow of the government" as a community organizer.
Martin is running for the U.S. Senate in 2010, wrote a derogatory book on Obama and is now releasing a documentary entitled, "Obama, the Hawaii Years". Obviously, Mr. Obama's name is money in the bank for the undisciplined Martin.
In 2005, Philip Berg was fined and sanctioned $10,000 for having committed a "laundry list of unethical actions."
"Other attorneys should look to Mr. Berg's actions as a blueprint for what not to do when attempting to effectively and honorably perform the duties of the legal profession," Joyner wrote.
"This court has grown weary of Mr. Berg's continuous and brazen disrespect toward this court and his own clients. Mr. Berg's actions ... are an enormous waste of judicial time and resources that this court cannot, in good conscience, allow to go unpunished," Joyner wrote."
The Queen Wingnut, however, is Orly Taitz. She has accused the following federal officials of treason and called for their indictments:
a) All the justices of the Supreme Court, b) All the members of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate, c) Attorney General Eric Holder, Solicitor General Elena Kagan, and other federal officers, d) and, of course, President Obama himself.
By openly advocating armed revolt, accusing virtually the entire federal government of treason, and using poisonous invective against President Obama, she is doing her level best to make it significantly more likely that someone will attempt to assassinate the President of the United States.This lady belongs in prison.
There you have it, birthers. Your Birther Hall of Fame: Berg, Taitz and Martin. The Three Stooges. It's time to put this issue to bed. However, the base of the Republican party is so radically right wing, that Republican elected officials have no choice but to not outrage the wingnut following of these three losers.
Here is an example with Chris Matthews educating California congressman John Campbell:
For those birthers who are geographically challenged, here is a lesson for you:
Mike Stark of Firedoglake and Huffington Post thinks he has stumbled onto the reason George W. Bush was elected to the presidency twice: The GOP's base, as exemplified by this ubiquitous "birther" nonsense, must be Insane. In the video below, he puts the birther fictions before a series of Republican congressmen on the hill, and their reactions are priceless.
