Obama birth poll shows striking regional divide

“Do you believe that Barack Obama was born in the United States of America
or not?”

A poll conducted for the Daily KOS (and this is a real poll,  not one of those unscientific citizen grand jury polls) asked the simple question: “Do you believe that Barack Obama was born in the United States of America or not?” The results were incredible:

In most of the country, denialists are in the fringe, but in the South, the view is almost mainstream. (more…)

LIBERI et al v. TAITZ et al

Hollister v. Soetoro

Liberi v. Taitz

In a move long anticipated, Philadelphia lawyer Phil Berg, anti-Obama activist and judicial candidate has filed suit against Orly Taitz on behalf of individuals who have come under attack recently by  California lawyer and anti-Obama conspiracy theories promoter Orly Taitz.

Orly Taitz frequently makes published assertions that two people who share the same name are the same person (like Barry Soetoro and Soetoro Moestabjab), and in this case Lisa Liberi, Phil Berg’s, associate may be the victim of just such a false association with a New Mexico felon having a similar name.

Also, former webmaster of Orly Taitz’s blog, Lisa Ostella, the recipient of all sorts of accusations related to the handling of former Orly blogs and the funneling of PayPal donations, is suing. We’ve reported here on the Ostella accusations before.

A complaint was filed and it looks like a request for a temporary restraining order. The full list of plaintiffs are: LISA LIBERI, PHILIP J. BERG, THE LAW OFFICES OF PHILIP J. BERG, EVELYN ADAMS ["MommaE"], LISA M. OSTELLA and GO EXCEL GLOBAL with defendants: ORLY TAITZ, DEFEND OUR FREEDOMS FOUNDATIONS, INC., YOSEF TAITZ, THE SANKEY FIRM, SANKEY INVESTIGATIONS, INC., NEIL SANKEY, JAMES SUNDQUIST, ROCK SALT PUBLISHING, LINDA SUE BELCHER, EDGAR HALE, CAREN HALE, PLAINS RADIO NETWORK, BAR H FARMS, KPRN AM 1610 [Plains Radio].

Kokopelli

Kokopelli

Kokopelli

On a recent trip to New Mexico I was introduced to an indigenous American deity named Kokopelli. His image appears on T-shirts, hats and wall decorations.

While the flute-playing character is primarily related to fertility, Kokopelli is also considered a trickster, part of a long line of mythological characters who operate outside conventional morality.

I deal with facts, evidence and logical argument on this web site. But beyond that, I also read a lot on the Internet that is written by various characters. Some folks are extremely sincere sounding in their opposition to Barack Obama and their belief in some of the conspiracy theories discussed on this blog. On the other hand, the is almost certainly intentional deception and that is the imprint of the trickster. (more…)
