Museum guard slain by white supremacist birther

DHS warns of resurgence of rightwing extremism.

I offer my sympathy and condolences to the family, coworkers and friends of  the U. S. Holocaust Museum guard gunned down today by a white supremacist gunman who was also, it appears, a birther. He served 6 years in prison for trying to make a “citizens arrest” of Federal Reserve Board members in 1981 (something the government called “kidnapping”).

James W. von Brunn had strong ties to neo-nazi organizations, and posted links to Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke in some of his anti-Obama rants. As as “birther” , von Brunn was pretty mainstream, demanding a long list of irrelevant documents, and parroting standard birther claims. One such post is on FreeRepublic.com.

WHY DON’T WE SEE ONE WORD OF THIS IN ANY OF THE MEDIA?

…The same Media went to great lengths to scandalize & destroy Sarah Palin. She maintains a 91% approval rating among voters from all parties, thanks to the Internet and investigative journalists who don’t work for the mainstream media.

NOW ——- The Supreme Court has scheduled a Conference for Dec 5th about Obama’s U. S. Citizenship. STILL, not a word about any of this from the Media. If it were not for the Internet and talk radio, American citizens would become the servants of a dishonest & conspiratorial Media.

THINK ABOUT IT. IT DIDN’T USED TO BE THIS WAY! How much longer are we going to sit on our hands & say not a word? (more…)

Great line from CNN: “Sometimes when you’re thinking on your feet, you’re not thinking on your feet”.

This footage from CNN is worth watching and belies the claims that the mainstream media ignores these things.

Dr. Orly’s New High Profile Partner

Dr. Orly Taitz has had limited success in getting the Supreme Court’s attention up until this point. The appeal to the Court today asking Judge Roberts and the other justices to recuse themselves from swearing in Barack Obama due to a conflict of interest was a “Hail Mary” play if anything. Knowledgeable legal commentators give her case, Lighthouse  v. Bowen, a very slim chance.

It has been clear for some time that Dr. Orly needed a more experienced litigator, a “big gun” so speak, a figure with immediate national recognition, and particularly someone with a strong win record. (more…)

Associated Press: Obama “plainly” natural born citizen

ANN SANNER, Associated Press Writer wrote in an article titled Candidates meet ‘natural-born’ test despite rumors:

In an argument popular on the Internet and taken seriously practically nowhere else, critics of the candidates argue that each does not qualify to run for the White House because he’s not a “natural-born citizen” as the Constitution requires.

Obama plainly is, because he was born in the U.S.

…The Constitution requires that only “natural-born” citizens hold the presidency. But the Founding Fathers did not elaborate on the term, so bloggers and others have had a field day.

So much for that canard that the mainstream media is ignoring the issue!

CNN Declares: Obama natural born

By the way, who is making all these claims that the mainstream media isn’t covering the natural born citizenship issue? Baloney.

CNN Senior Legal Analyst, Jeff Toobin, stated during a broadcast of CNN’s Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer:

BLITZER: What do the founding fathers mean when they inserted “naturally born” as a qualification to be president?

TOOBIN: Well, what they — what they wanted was not someone who had been born in England. They wanted someone born within, at that point, the 13 colonies. And usually it’s a pretty straightforward issue of whether someone was born in this country or not. (more…)
