Angels and demons

Dr. Conspiracy

The biblical legend says that father Abraham once showed hospitality to a couple of travelers, and it turned out that they were actually messengers from God (what are called “angels”).

While I am just a commenter on events, some of the visitors here are part of the story, for example, Mark Davis, son of Frank Marshall Davis (“Frank” in Obama’s autobiography) left a few comments, and the great niece of Dr. Rodney West, who delivered her at the Kapi’olani hospital in 1961, dropped by. (The late Dr. West is currently the leading candidate for the doctor who delivered Barack Obama.) We’ve benefited from the contributions of other bloggers, notably Lauren Collins and Phil Cave plus NBC, Reality Check, (and many others) as well as practicing and retired attorneys. From the other side we’ve seen the likes of Mario Apuzzo, Cort Wrotnowski, Joseph Farah and Ron Polland (both as Ron Polarik long ago and more recently as PetJake).

I commented to Magic Bullet recently:

It is a huge challenge to respond with any freshness or interest to the same old, same old –” or to even pay enough attention to see whether it is the same old, same old.

And it is hard, I know. It’s easy to take out the frustration of being muzzled on birther blogs on someone. Nevertheless, the birther we trash just might be someone who has skin in the game and with a little hospitality might be coaxed into revealing a little about what drives them. Imagine the profound lost opportunity if someone like Terry Lakin showed up here anonymously, and we ran him off without the chance to talk.

Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it.

    Excellent post Doc, I couldn’t agree more. In addition, why wouldn’t anyone want an argument with birthers to be as polite, rational and fact-based as possible? Civility and reason only strengthens our argument.

  2. SluggoJD says:

    Well I’m always gracious when I’m a visitor to my host…but I strongly disagree about being civil.

    Folks like Lucas Smith and Polarik intentionally lie and deceive. Go up and down the list of known birthers – Ed Hale, Pamela Geller, Farah, Corsi, Orly, et al, etc., and it’s the same thing over and over…people who have no honor or integrity, who lie and deceive on purpose.

    They deserve no respect.

    This is a war folks, a war that we did not ask for. And we who choose to engage because of truth and honor, better fight to win, or we will surely lose. Civility is not and has never been a useful strategy.

    Go over to Lucas’ little hole and politely tell him he’s a lying con artist, and see how far that gets you.

    Go over to WND and politely tell them that they have no honor, and see how long you’re welcome.

    This is a war, not a game.

    I think that civility is a useful tactic – the goal of sites like this, in my opinion, is to prevent anyone who is not already wearing a tinfoil hat from being taken in by the birther lies. In what way does ridiculing birthers help achieve this goal? Giving polite refutations of birther theories with references as to precedent and statutes is a much more effective way to inoculate people against the birthers.

    I’m afraid the analogy doesn’t really work — or rather, our “visitors” are not “angels”, but as the title implies, “demons”.

    Dr. C, would you be just as civil to “demons” visiting your home, or call for Father Merrin asap?

    No, IMHO I don’t think the analogy works very well.

    My interpretation is that;

    1. There maybe people who are just uniformed and confused on the issue of Obama’s citizenship.

    2. It is important to be informative and engaging in open dialogue.

    How should we engage those who don’t are uniformed or confused?

    Beyond the semantics, I think we can all agree that we ought to be civil (and indeed are) to all newcomers — at least until they open their virtual mouths and identify themselves.

    I’m afraid that if Terry Lakin actually showed up here and identified himself, I would likely become uncivil very quickly. I might even call Father Merrin myself.

  11. ASK Esq says:

    The problem I see is that the large majority of birthers who bother to post on the net are not people who are in the market for rational discourse. Rather, they are fanatics who are convinced that they are right, so when they come here, it is simply to tell us that we are wrong. They are not interested in even listening to facts or truth. Much like those who deny evolution or climate change, when presented with undeniable facts that show their arguments to be wrong, they simply act as though they didn’t hear what you said. That’s why it takes a miracle for a non-birther comment to get posted to a birther board. Basically my point is, why bother being civil to those who don’t listen to anything you say?

  12. Lupin says:

    If J Farrah agrees to post here using the nom-de-plume of Humpy Muffmuncher I promise to be civil to him. It will be worth it.

    Demands to amend the Constitution and U.S. laws with their crayons, assassinate people, overthrow the government by military coup, establish a Christian theocracy, and libel officials condemned for upholding the law also makes civil discourse difficult.

  15. The Fian warriors in ancient Ireland had the tradition of courtesy to one’s enemies. Which didn’t mean you didn’t fight them, but that a certain level of courtesy and civility was expected when handling them outside the field of combat.

    To a certain extent that’s the tactic I take with my personal interaction with the birthers. It doesn’t mean I won’t mock them and it doesn’t mean I won’t refute their lies.

    Basically I refuse to fall to their level. No personal attacks, and no censorship and deletion of posts. They want to respond, they’re welcome to.

    I agree, Sluggo. I’ve been going to a FAUX News forum (gretawire) for about three years and have only posted there on this issue and have tried the civility approach, and it is useless on these fools when they are in the majority. When you post rational answers to their questions, their only response is to insult and call names. I don’t waste time with civility there anymore because I know that it will not be appreciated, nor will it be returned. Sadly, after a couple of years of experience with these idiots, I have learned to disarm their name calling up front by beating them to the punch.

    As ASK Esq said, these people are not in the market for rational discourse. Rather, they seek to force their false beliefs on everyone they talk to and insult all those who reject their dogma and/or refute it with actual facts.

    As I stated, this only happens when they are in the majority, so civil discourse should be a priority where they are not. Here at obamaconspiracytheory.org, they are not in the majority, and it’s nice to have a place to go where this issue can be discussed civilly. In the venues where they are in the majority, I just tell them to futtheshuckup

    Sharansky, and Avigdor Lieberman the former bouncer, are the proverbial bull in a china shop. Was Orly a streetwalker in Moldova? She sounds like it. Her husband was a schmuck for marrying that shonde.

I checked in there last night, and she was posting that Pravda article about birthers from 2009 and trying to sell it as if it was something that was brand new. One of them actually told her a week or so ago to cool it with the Orly threads because no one was really interested in them

    Do you think the DoS reasonably completed its search and provided Strunk with the results?

    I think they did.

    I’m not sure we could learn anything more without seeing Barack’s passport applications. It’s obvious Barack was included on Stanley Ann’s 1965 passport application. I’m not sure any other information we could get from the 1965 would be useful in the eligibility question.

    You should go to Washington DC on Oct 30 and introduce yourself to Orly. I bet you to have more in common than you realize.

    At a very minimum, you could confront Orly and state, “Orly, you did not serve in the Israeli Army and I am angry about it.”

  26. SluggoJD: They deserve no respect.

    How much dialog can you have with someone who doesn’t have a clue what they’re talking about, but fancies they know the law better than virtually everyone in the actual legal community (see our recent visit by WND’s resident legal expert, the part-time paralegal)?

  28. Scientist says:

    Not really. She would run through her talking points, which everyone here knows and wouldn’t respond to anyone who questioned her. Mario was amusing for a brief while, but quickly became very tiresome, because he just said the same thing over and over again and would never address questions.

    I see nothing productive in such discussions. In all honesty, Doc, you’ve done a great job, but unless some dramatic new information surfaces, there really is nothing left to say on this subject.

    Nate Farmer: At a very minimum, you could confront Orly and state, “Orly, you did not serve in the Israeli Army and I am angry about it.”

    Hm, do we really know Orly did not serve in the Israeli Army? Of course, she could not have been at university in Israel and served in the Army at the same time, but it is only Orly’s word that she did study in Israel, rather than have her diploma declared equivalent with an Israeli DDS in Israel after presenting a dissertation or doing some practical test (well, she also unbelievably passed the California Bar examination). What did Orly do in Romania? She never explained. That was under Ceaucescu, by the way.

    When the Averbukhs left the Soviet Union, Orly already had studied two years at a higher education level. Since she spoke Romanian (all Soviet schools in Moldavia taught Moldavian as rodny yazyk and Moldavian is basically just Romanian written in the Cyrillic alphabet) a Romanian diploma mill (they still exist, many students from Western Europe, the USA and Israel are studying dentistry at Cluj) could have given her the years missing from the Soviet Union. She could not have gone back to the Soviet Union to “feeneesh” her education there, as refuseniks had promised to never come back (all their papers – including birth certificates!!! – were confiscated by the KGB at the airport where they flew away from the Soviet Union).

    I agree it’s conjecture, but remember how Orly immediately claimed the poor clerk employed by judge Carter did exactly that sort of thing?

    Orly has been making a big deal about Stewart’s rally.

    Yesterday Jon Stewart announced a rally against the fringe. An article on AOL lists me and James Carville as fringe on both sides.
    This got me thinking. Today is a special day of the year. In a Jewish calendar it’s called Yom Kipur. It is a day of atonement, it is a day when the Gates of Heaven are open for you to address god and for god to hear you.
    What is a fringe? In Hebrew it is called Tzizit. God told Moses to cut fringes on his garment, to add blue thread. God told Moses to tell the children of Israel to do the same generation after generation, and to use those fringes as a reminder of his commendments, to remember him as their god, who brought them out of bondage in Egypt.
    Think about it. When Moses told his people to leave their homes, to leave their belongings, to risk prison or possible death in the hands of an Egyptian pharaoh, to wonder in the desert, to expect the Red Sea to part in order for them to escape bondage, and reach the land of milk and honey, many considered Moses to be a fringe , a “Meshugeneh”, a crazy man. But today’s fringe is tomorrow’s leader, and Moses lead his people out of bondage.
    Susan B. Anthony was considered a fringe. In those years voting rights for women were considered to be ideas of the fringe.
    When Golda Meir left her home to build a new country, she was considered a fringe.
    Typicaly, the fringe in the society sticks out as a Tzizit on a garment. Why do people on the fringe stick their neck out, why are they ahead of the wave? There are a number of reasons, a number of explanations.
    Old testament has typically several layers of meaning, of understanding. For example, another meaning for Tzitziot, those fringes on the clothes, is, that those are a form of reception. It is easy to explain by using a radio as an example. What do you need for a radio? You need an antenna. For different radio waves, for different electro-magnetic waves, you need different antennas. It is believed that Tzitzit, this fringe on the garment, is a form of reception. Now, only men are supposed to wear clothe with those fringes, not women. Why? An explanation is, that women have a natural way of tuning in, absorbing this cosmic energy, called the word of god. Some call it women’s intuition, the sixth sense.
    It is interesting, that in this second American revolution you see women in the forefront. Sometimes consciously, sometimes intuitively they lead.
    Today we live in bondage. We are in intellectual bondage with corrupt regime propaganda media, which does not report the truth. We are sinking deeper and deeper in the mortar of intellectual, societal and financial bondage, but trust the people, who are your conscience, who are the fringe today. They will be your leaders tomorrow.
    Please, tune in to god’s word and god’s energy. Until 7:30 in the evening is Yom Kipur, it is the time, when it is said that the Gates of Heaven are open for you to have a dialog with god. You have it within you. You have an ability to brainstorm ideas, to figure how to get out of bondage. I firmly believe, that collective intelligence and collective conscience will help us brake the chains of bondage. Follow the fringe of your conscience.

    Nate Farmer: Do you think the DoS reasonably completed its search and provided Strunk with the results?I think they did. I am amazed at the DOS action in the Strunk case. Apparently in an effort to show that they made reasonable search for records, they located one 1980′s document which purports to describe an “unnamed” project which had over 40 employees, was located away from main offices, cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and resulted in the separation of millions of files and destruction of millions of passport applications. This document was not properly introduced into evidence, it was not authenticated(inadmissible), there was no provenance of the document provided and there was nothing in any affidavit concerning any off the above except quotes from the document. Did this document drop into the DOS and the court from outer space? I believe there is more documentation and witnesses for UFO sightings 25 years ago.

    In fact Galavich’s affidavit jumps out at you as missing all these details and more. A person who is Acting Director of the IPS (and in that department for over 20 years) which processes FOIA’s a person who has been an employee of the DOS since 1974, (and if the “destruction” is to be believed) surely he must have run into thousand of similar requests where documents were not located and must have used the same “cable” excuse in responses to thousands of other requests over the years? No one has ever questioned such a response before? DOS doesn’t have a better “boiler plate” response that they have used before many times for similar requests? DOS does offer to provide you with passport applications either through FOIA or search for a fee. From the GAO 1981 document one can estimate that the number of requests for passport applications older than 5 years was around 5,000 per year (15% of 34,000) in 1979. So the DOS before implementing this “project” knew they would have hundreds if not thousand of requests each year for destroyed records and they did not put in place either a mechanism to prevent ordering the records or a fixed response and supporting documentation for those records requests that would come up empty? Is our government that incompetent?

    DOS wants Strunk and Judge Leon and millions of Americans to believe that they instituted an “unnamed” project of this magnitude and importance and there is only one scrap of paper and no witnesses around to memorialize and testify to this historic “purge”?

    To add further insult to injury, the latest filing by DOS now names this mysterious document a “cable”. Interesting description that brings to question where is the originating document to this cable, you know the one on DOS stationary with a wet signature by the Secretary of State?

    Looking closer at Galvich’s affidavit (p12) he appears to sidestep the “cable” and disown any knowledge of it by his failure to authenticate it. He merely states “Plaintiff was advised in that letter (Roblins letter of 7/29/2010 -exhibit 6) that Passport Services did not locate a 1965 passport application referenced in an application for amendment of passport. The Department concluded it was likely destroyed as part of a records disposition project in the 1980′s in which routine passport applications and other non-vital records from 1925-1968 were destroyed in accordance with continued requests from the General Services Administration to reduce the amount of space used to store routine passport records and other non-vital records (exhibit 7).” Let’s see neither Galavich nor Roblin seem to put their name to this “cable” and appear to be tossing it back and forth like a “hot potato”. Why? If it’s true, why not scream it out loud? What would a cross examination or deposition of these two fellows and others produce? I find it incredible that such a large and significant project has no one claiming knowledge of or authenticating it.

    It has had over a month since Strunk asked DOS for documentation of the alleged passport records destruction, (8/9/2010). Surely they have had time to get someone, one person at least out of over 20,000 current employees and tens of thousands of retired employees to testify about the project,and have had sufficient time to gather the documents SF-115 and SF-135’s necessary to destroy government documents and produce those in court and slap Strunk down.

    Failing finding any DOS documents, surely a telephone call to the National Archives could produce these forms. They could have an archivist introduce the forms into court. (historical footnote, see Mary Livingston (dec,) testimony before Congress concerning Nixon papers)( http://articles.latimes.com/2007/mar/27/local/me-livingston27) Their silence in deafening. They do emphatically deny allegations of impropriety with a self serving statement, is that good enough? Is that admissible evidence?

    It appears to me the DOS has acted in “Bad Faith” if not worse in presenting this excuse to apparently try and make their search appear reasonable under the circumstances. I think DOS just opened Pandora’s box and the number of FOIA’s and lawsuits to follow will set records. Maybe we will have another Warren Commission and someone can find another “Magic Bullet” and tell us poor peons what they decide we should know.

    Next up the reasonableness of their search….laughable…..

    I think Sven’s idea to try to get her to show up on Colbert’s stage as part of “Keeping Fear Alive” is hilarious!

    I think I’m going to see what I can to do free up my schedule and make it to DC for those fun events. They’ve moved Trick-Or-Treat to Thurs 10/28 where I live this year, so that actually works out pretty well for me.

    I certainly don’t want to diminish the work Chris Strunk has done. I know he has worked hard and put his heart and soul into exposing Obama.

    The problem with pushing the issue with DoS is that it won’t help further the cause anymore than it already has. I believe Stanley Ann striking out BHO (Soebarkah) is a significant clue to Obama renouncing his citizenship, but seeing SAD’s passport application(s) from 1965 or applications for travel to Lebanon won’t help expose Obama’s usurpation.

    Even if Strunk can get the DoS to admit there is a supplementary explanation for the name strike, it will be redacted to the point its useless.

    Whether a 1965 passport application will show evidence to eligibility is only part of the question, could it show a prior 1960 or1961 passport? Would Obama be on Stanley Ann’s 1965 or earlier passport? Did he have his own passport or a passport from another country? Even if they redacted the application, the passport photo would not be redacted and would show if anyone else was on it with her. (see butterdezillions blog) Whatever it shows are we not entitled to the truth and a government that acts in good faith? Why would DOS possibly try and hide something that is not important? All information is helpful when putting together pieces of a puzzle even if it shows a dead end. It would lead one to look elsewhere for better trails. If they all show a dead end then that could resolve the controversy which is what I believe most people want. Not knowing is not good and devisive.Let the chips fall where they may.

  44. Magic Bullet: …surely [Galavich] must have run into thousand of similar requests where documents were not located and must have used the same “cable” excuse in responses to thousands of other requests over the years? No one has ever questioned such a response before?

    I cannot think of any reason for someone who didn’t begin the process with the belief that the government was covering up something would be inclined to question the records destruction program. So I could well believe that Strunk’s follow-up questions are unique, or nearly so. Certainly if I had made a request about one of my relatives or myself (where virtually all passport information requests come from), I would not have given a negative result based on a reported records destruction program a second thought. I find the actual destruction program a thousand times more likely than a fake one.

    To add further insult to injury, the latest filing by DOS now names this mysterious document a “cable”. Interesting description that brings to question where is the originating document to this cable, you know the one on DOS stationary with a wet signature by the Secretary of State?

    Well, doesn’t it LOOK like a cable. Reading FOIA information from DoS in other contexts, one of the major sources of information is such cables, which are apparently kept. The 10 or so people who worked on the document are listed on it. Call them up. Put that hot-shot detective Jacobsen on it.

    It has had over a month since Strunk asked DOS for documentation of the alleged passport records destruction, (8/9/2010). Surely they have had time to get someone, one person at least out of over 20,000 current employees and tens of thousands of retired employees to testify about the project,and have had sufficient time to gather the documents SF-115 and SF-135′s necessary to destroy government documents and produce those in court and slap Strunk down.

    As far as I can tell with all the Obama cases I’ve seen, everybody waits to file until the last minute. I don’t know why but that’s how it seems. It may be that because of the Court’s scrutiny they are trying to be careful to make the search impeccably thorough. I don’t think it’s useful to prejudge the output until it happens.

    Next up the reasonableness of their search….laughable….. Of course then what are the implications….if true then why? ..and… What will index records show?

    Well this is a question of interest to me personally because it relates to my own FOIA. I have no background to judge what is reasonable and what is not. Strunk only asked for passport applications and that’s what he got. He didn’t ask about passports issued (nor for the index passports issued). You know the difference between a hostile witness and one who is lying?

    No matter what people believe, everyone deserves a certain level of privacy. There isn’t a “controversy,” and going on a “witch-hunt” doesn’t accomplish anything. No additional information will satisfy those who want Obama not to be eligible for president. It isn’t a very complicated issue, and isn’t hard to be verified. It is over.

    Actually, not knowing makes life fun. Who would watch a baseball game if they knew the outcome of every play ahead of time? This silly “controversy” matters less than who will win the next Pirates-Nationals series. Just look around the world at all the important things that have happened in the last few years. The 1965 passport of someone who died in 1995 won’t even rate a footnote.

    Face facts. No one who lives in hawaii travels to Kenya to have a baby. It makes no sense. And, as Judge Judy says,if it doesn’t make sense, it isn’t true. That’s really all anyone needs to know.

  49. Rickey says:

    Dr. Conspiracy:
    Well, doesn’t it LOOK like a cable.

    Technically, it’s a teletype message sent over the U.S. government’s secure communications system. The word “cable” conjures up an image of a telegram, which this is not, but it is not unusual for a civilian to call it a cable.

    R060330Z FEB 85 is what is know as a date-time group. “R” means that it is a routine message. 060330Z FEB 85 means that the message was created on February, 6, 1985 at 3:30 a.m. GMT (10:30 p.m. on February 5, EST). ZEX is what is known as a Z signal, and is an instruction to the receiving station about how the message is to be distributed. UNCLAS is the abbreviation for unclassified.

    I handled similar messages from 1967 to 1970 while I was in the Navy. There is nothing in the State Department message which would lead me to question its authenticity.

    Let’s say you could see SAD Soetoro’s 1965 application. I think Barack Hussein Obama was listed as a family member (child) on her passport. Unfortunately, it will be redacted. We know Barack Hussein Obama is her only child at that time and it is highly likely Barack Hussein Obama’s name is blacked out, but we can’t prove it.

    Good response by General Powell (a true hero soldier unlike Lakin) regarding the birthers and the belief by those that the President is a Muslim….

    In a largely even-tempered appearance on “Meet the Press” Sunday, former Secretary of State Colin Powell did save a few harsh words for former House Speaker Newt Gingrich for propagating rumors about the president that he labeled “nonsense.”

    Asked to address Gingrich’s latest controversial comments — in which he insisted that President Obama suffered from a Kenyan anti-colonial worldview — Powell insisted that the former speaker was simply pining for the spotlight. He also urged Republican voters not to fall for the gambit or mistake it for serious or winning politics.

    “I would just tell my fellow Americans: think carefully about what was just said, think carefully about some of the stuff that is coming across the blogs and the airwaves. Let’s make a couple points: One, the president was born in the United States of America. Let’s get rid of that one, let’s get rid of the birther thing. Let’s attack him on policy and not nonsense. Next, he is a Christian. He is not a Muslim. Twenty percent of the people see he is a Muslim, 80 percent apparently do not believe he is a Muslim.”

    At this point, moderator David Gregory interrupted to note that even more Republicans (30 percent, roughly) bought the Obama-is-a-Muslim myth.

    “Well surprise, surprise. But I bet you a dollar if the unemployment rate was not 9.5 percent but it was down to four percent then you would find only five percent think he is a Muslim. So they are attacking the president on this line. But he is not a Muslim. He is a Christian, and I think we have to be careful when we take things like Dinesh D’souza’s book, which is the source for all this, and suggest that somehow the president of the United States is channeling his dead father through some Kenyan spirits. This doesn’t make any sense. Mr. Gingrich does these things from time to time, with a big bold statement. He did it with [Sonia] Sotomayor, she’s a reverse racist; he did it with Elena Kagan, she ought to be taken off the nomination for Supreme Court justice; and he does it occasionally to make news and also to stir up dust.”

    WND again shows why they are not only bad, but ugly at the same time….

    WND’s first national convention: A spectacle of birtherism and bigotry
    September 21, 2010 5:18 pm ET by Zachary Pleat

    With the guest lineup of World Net Daily’s Taking America Back 2010 national conference, it was no surprise that birtherism and bigotry were prevalent throughout the convention. After all, WND’s Joseph Farah and Jerome Corsi are perhaps most (in)famous for their repeated birther attacks against President Obama.

    Displaying shocking ignorance of his own publication, Farah kicked off WND’s first national convention by asking if “anyone at WorldNetDaily ever asserted” that President Obama “is foreign-born.” We can. It turns out that one of WND’s commentators, Craige McMillan, has referred to President Obama as an “illegal alien” in at least three separate posts on WorldNetDaily’s website. Despite Farah’s suggestion that WorldNetDaily held itself above the tired questions about President Obama’s citizenship, Jerome Corsi was quick to jump on the case.

    Questioning the president’s citizenship, and thus his eligibility as president, was not the only way speakers at WND’s convention attacked Obama. Speaker after speaker attacked Obama’s faith as a Christian. Jerome Corsi alternatively claimed that Obama “doesn’t believe in God” and that he’s a Muslim, Floyd Brown claimed that Obama “hates Christianity” and “is a Muslim,” while Aaron Klein said that the president “has a certain affinity toward Islam.”

    Other attacks against Obama included the zombie lie that Obama supported “infanticide” and an absurd demand by Corsi that Obama “come out and renounce Lucifer.” Floyd Brown also stated that the “most important step” for the next session of Congress is to impeach President Obama.

    Anti-gay bigotry was also out in force at the Taking America Back convention. WorldNetDaily founder, editor, and CEO Joseph Farah suggested gay marriage would lead to “sexual anarchy” and claimed that opposing gay marriage was akin to opposing “sexual offenses” such as “polygamy, incest, statutory rape, child pornography, molestation, [and] prostitution.” Noted anti-gay bigot Robert Knight similarly compared a gay marriage ban to bans on polygamy and incest. However, Jerome Corsi refused to be outdone in this vein, going so far as to link same-sex marriage to pedophilia and bestiality.*

    Speakers at the convention were also, to put it mildly, displeased with Imam Rauf’s proposal to build an Islamic community center in Manhattan to serve an existing Muslim community as a place for worship and community. After nine months of right-wing anti-Muslim bigotry and incidents of violence against mosque sites nationwide, WND’s speakers decided to rachet up the rhetoric against the Islamic community center by declaring that its intention is to promote further attacks by Muslims against America. Aaron Klein flatly stated that “the individuals behind” the Islamic community center in Manhattan don’t “have peaceful intentions.” As well, WND speaker William Murray said that the purpose of the community center is to host “raiders” to “do even more damage” in America.

    Just how does WorldNetDaily plan to top all of this with its next national convention?

    Jerome Corsi alternatively claimed that Obama “doesn’t believe in God” and that he’s a Muslim.

    Corsi is a moron with or without the oxy.

    Nazi, Marxist, atheist, Muslim, socialist? Pick just one, Fright Wing Squawkers.

    These aren’t Garanimals.

    More Post and Fail nonsense…Fearmongering and lying at its best….

    “The acknowledged step-aunt of Barack Hussein Obama, Zeituni Onyango, says that the United States is obligated to give her citizenship now that a judge has allowed her to remain in the country.

    Onyango reportedly “moved from Kenya to the United States” in 2000. She “fell ill,” reportedly lived in a homeless shelter for two years, and later began receiving disability income, despite the fact that she was ineligible. Her nephew, Barack Obama, is believed by many to be ineligible to have collected millions of dollars in campaign contributions and to serve as President of the United States because he does not meet the definition of “natural born Citizen.”

    ………

    “While cities are told by appellate courts that they cannot enact their own anti-illegal-immigration laws, others designate themselves “sanctuary cities,” in violation of federal law, apparently without legal challenges.

    Perhaps Obama favors illegal immigration because he is an illegal immigrant himself. Is there any proof that he is even a U.S. citizen?”

    Makes one wonder about the value of a PhD from Harvard.

    Have we seen the long form verification of his diploma?

  79. @Majority Will: I have a copy of Corsi’s PhD dissertation.

    Like Michael Savage, he’s an educated man who knows how to manipulate uneducated people.

  81. Dr. Conspiracy: @Majority Will: I have a copy of Corsi’s PhD dissertation.

    I have to wonder if it was printed on a roll of long, thin paper. That way at least it would have had some practical use.

  82. Majority Will says:

    Dr. Conspiracy: @Majority Will: I have a copy of Corsi’s PhD dissertation.

    Is it scratch and sniff or pop-up?

    He got it in the paper products isle.

    Majority Will: Is it scratch and sniff or pop-up?

    Shrub’s autobiography book signing is going to be at Toys R Us. It’s a pop-up book.

  84. Majority Will: Is it scratch and sniff or pop-up?

    My copy of Corsi’s dissertation is on microfilm. His degree is in political science and the paper was about dissent during the Vietnam War.

    I say he had someone ghost write it. If he releases all his transcripts, and produces a statement from his professors that he proved it was actually written by himself, I will change my position.

    The burden of proof is on him.
