BAD MOON RISING

'BIRTHER QUEEN' IMPLODES

"DR." ORLY TAITZ
Attorney & Purveyor of '70's Porn Queen Fashion

On Monday, MSNBC's David Shuster and Tamron Hall hosted celebrated "Birther Queen" Orly Taitz, attorney for the birther movement, and Czarina to the Wingnuts. The resulting discussion was, as you might imagine, pretty special! Taitz came on, speaking as if in a panic, presaging her answers with complaints about CNN, referring to David Shuster as a "brownshirt," and making oddball claims about how "85% of Americans think Barack Obama was not properly vetted ."

The birth certificate provided by Taitz as proof that President Barack Obama was born in Kenya has proven to be a forgerey. The fake certificate is actually based on a copy of a birth certificate issued for an Australian man, David Jeffrey Bomford.

They're waving around a supposed "Kenyan birth certificate" for President Barack Obama without regard to the fact that it would have to have come from an alternate reality where Kenya became Kenya before Kenya was Kenya, and on which Obama is said to have been born in a city that was actually part of Zanzibar at the time of his birth. It's all pretty awesome and fun and now everyone's getting in on the "let's all forge up some birth certificates" craze.
Taitz denies any responsibility for the fraud. Taitz is claiming the birth certificate she presented as proof of Obama's Kenyan birth is actually part of a plot to discredit her work and the movement. (Huh ?!)Yet the fact remains that Taitz and the birthers quickly and uncritically accepted the bogus Kenyan birth certificate as authentic.

This is in sharp contrast to birthers unwillingness to believe anything that debunks their theory. Birthers appear ready to accept anything, no matter how far fetched, as long as it de-humanizes and de-legitimizes President Obama. The quest is, in this reporter's opinion, not for truth, the quest is for a justification of hate.

The Birther's are yet another 'astroturf' movement that even Ann Coulter says is " a bunch of cranks". ....let me throw that out to you again....even Ann Coulter says is "a bunch of cranks". This is coming from another Lee Atwater disciple that crazily referred to the 9/11 widows as " self obsessed witches enjoying their husbands' deaths".

Jason Linkins of The Huffington Post calls the birthers "... crazies that come hand-delivered to the media in their month of need, like barrel-dwelling fish that shoot themselves."

The birthers are the product of that original fear, a fear magnified by the reality that Barack Obama is no longer a candidate, but President of the United States. A few, vocal Americans are simply unable to accept Barack Obama as President. This inability to accept reality results in delusion and fantasy.

Anyway, this is like Shuster and Hall attempting to interview an angry Fraggle.
