    I know this all along that Orly is actually an Obama operative (Obot) and has been trying hard to undermine the real birthers and their effort to unseat the usurper. This is directly from the one and the only investigator and the former used car salesman, Zullo.

  2. richCares says:

    Argument from authority (appeal to authority) is very common on the right, they feel it gives credulity to their stance. “Many scientist say..” , All Doctors agree”…”,”Lt Zullo says..” are all examples of this. These things are accepted without question, whether it’s Birtherism, Evolution or Religion. An example: a few birthers discussing Zullo, they all made special notation of him being a Lt (i.e. Lt. Columbo”, what a joke!

  3. roadburner says:

    a very apt title for the opem thread doc, as the recycling of long debunked memes by the neo-birfoons seems to be reaching a peak.

    it’s so amusing that they all seem to be having an `AHA!’ moment and have a smoking gun, and you point them back to 2009 when the smoke turned out to be from an extinguished match.

    There is an article up at ORYR about this. Isn’t it strange that such fine and totally not mentally ill people as birthers would be condemning each other for fault-finding?

    My favorite Birther vs. Birther moment was when some man was allegedly beat up trying to convince Arpaio to honor one of Orly’s “subpoenas.”

  8. Andrew Vrba, PmG says:

    Orly is back to going “Harass your local law enforcement officers, and DEMAND they do my bidding! SCREEEEEEEEEEECH!”
    I responded with a very blunt question along the lines of: “So by your logic, if I can get enough people to phone your local sheriff’s office, and DEMAND that the police officers give you a royal beating, before throwing you in a jail cell, then they HAVE to do it, right?”

    Though, I have admit that playing mind games with her is a bit like getting in a fudge eating contest with a diabetic.

    So folks…The American Stinker magazine is back with some new fake analysis…Fake expert Nick Chase makes some new claims about the Long form BC….More birther nonsense…

    http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2013/05/obama_built_this_forgery.html

    “The public was essentially told that Hawaii Department of Health officials took a bound volume of original paper 1961 birth certificates, turned to Obama’s, placed it on the copier, copied it onto green security paper, stamped and embossed-sealed it, and then delivered it to Obama’s lawyer to be flown back to Washington. In which case, the image on my bumper sticker, a copy of the digital PDF “birth certificate” released on April 27, 2011 by the White House, and which the president declared to be his long-form birth certificate, must be fake — because near the left margin, especially at the top of the document, the text and lines of the form bend downward (to simulate the bending of the page near the binding). It’s impossible for a copier to do that bending.

    This is the point at which I would usually be dismissed as a madman — a conservative nut-job. But since you are still reading this, I presume that you are interested in knowing just why this is impossible.”

  10. Nero says:

    Its an old birther meme, but I’ve been surprised at how little there is written on the meaning of the words “…or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify,…” in the 20th Amendment. How exactly can a president-elect fail to qualify?
    The birther meme is that Barack Obama has “failed to qualify” when he was president-elect and Congress has the right to remove him and appoint a new president.

    From the forensic report:

    AnalysisofObamaBirthCertificatePDF
    Expertreportof: IvanZatkovich
    Produceonbehalfof: WorldNetDaily.com April29,2011

    “How Hawaii produces the “Green copy” of a Birth Certificate

    “A representative of the Hawaii Department of Health described how the copy of the Obama Birth Certificate was produced. She stated that the copy of Obama’s birth certificate was produced by taking the original paper birth certificate, which was black printing on white paper. The original is then placed on the photocopy machine and that image is copied onto green ‘safety paper’. That green copy is then stamped, dated and signed by the State Registrar.

    “That Hawaii Department of Health stated that they had nothing to do with producing the PDF, and directed me to the White House for all such questions.”

    HDOH used a copier Dumbski !

    I posted on this a couple of years ago after perusing the records of the committee that drafted the amendment. It wasn’t crystal clear but they seemed to have in mind two scenarios –

    1) the president-elect was unable to take office due to illness, incapacity or kidnapping etc;

    2) no-one had a majority in the Electoral College and the House had not yet selected a president.

    There was no mention of age, residency or whether the president elect was a NBC.

    Black Lion: So folks…The American Stinker magazine is back with some new fake analysis…Fake expert Nick Chase makes some new claims about the Long form BC….More birther nonsense…

    So I went and read his analysis. Then I looked at the right corner of my desk. I am an engineer, and my current project is to perform an analysis of an existing system to generate some safety labels for the equipment. As part of this, I have copies of the equipment safety testing reports. These reports were gathered in a single bound volume. In order to get copies, we took the bound volume to a copier and copied it onto plain white bond paper.

    Keep in mind that I observed the entire copying procedure.

    As I look now at the first page copied, this is what I see: most of the page is a white background, with well-defined text and lines, though some of the cells have a dot-matrix grey fill. On the right hand side, the edge of the page can be seen, followed by several lines representing the remaining pages, with a black background where there are no pages. On the left, it gets really interesting. There is a grey gradient that darkens to a line, where the edge of the previous page can be (with a corresponding gradient). Near the center of the edge, there are no curved lines, but as you go further from this point, the lines increasingly curve. The text in the grey zone curves with the lines, and is not blurred. It is quite legible, in fact, and in the darker grey areas, there even appears to be a white halo around the lines and text! (I’m pretty sure the halo is actually caused by the dithering used to create the grey-scale effect)

    So, do I have to sue my client for providing me with a forged safety report? Or does Nick just have a shitty copier?

    Fraser, a 40-year-old pastor with Sound Doctrine church in Enumclaw, has been charged by the King County Prosecutor with two counts of rape of a child in the first degree and two counts of child molestation in the first degree.

    Simmons described the details of the alleged assaults to the jury. He stated Fraser told the girl if she told anyone about the assaults she and her mother “would go to hell.”

    The prosecutor said Fraser and Timothy Williams, who was leading Sound Doctrine at that time, told the family to put their children through a manners “boot camp.” Simmons said the girl would “be punished if she did not fold a napkin correctly.” He stated the children were not to speak unless spoken to and were to stand at attention when a man entered the home.

    According to Simmons the parents were abiding by the church’s teachings and the girl was also following its rules.

    More division in birther-land. Ever since Carl Gallups suggested Orly Taitz was an Obamabot, Orly has been lashing out at the prison guard-cum-pastor and the Arpaio junior detectives. Here’s her latest screed:

    “Carl Gallops, Joseph Farah, Jerome Corsi, WND, WesternJounalism.com and ORYR never responded if they were ever paid anything for advertising by either Mike Zullo or Cold Case Posse or Sheriff’s campaign or any other affiliated organizations. This is a legitimate question, as it might explain lopsided and biased coverage. We still did not get an answer to this question.

    “Moreover, I demand that CarlGallops/PPSimmons, ORYR/ ObamaReleaseYourrecords, WesternJournalism and others remove from their websites all of the defamatory statements about me that they have been publishing and I demand a public retraction and apology from all of them. I was proven to be correct in what I was stating, my actions are furthering public interest and they all owe me an apology and a retraction.

    “I do not believe it would be beneficial to spend time on filing legal actions against people who previously were allies for defamation per se of my character , specifically defamation of me as an attorney, I prefer spending my time working on cases, where I am exposing Obama, however I need to warn all of these individuals that their actions are actionable and they are engaged in a vicious smear of a good name of me, an attorney who worked 24/7 for 5 years now on this cause.”

    Yes the infamous “Mr Hands” case. I think the law was changed as bestiality as defined at the time required physical harm to be done to the animal. The man filming the events (oh yes, there was) was acquitted of bestiality as veterinary examination showed no physical damage to the horse. “Mr Hands” himself wasn’t available to be prosecuted, being very dead by then.

    Jay Carney Brings Up Birtherism In Response To Questions On Benghazi, IRS Scandals

    Carney brought up questions on the IRS scandal and the talking points surrounding the Sept. 11, 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya, comparing some reporters’ inquiries to questions about President Barack Obama’s birth certificate.

    “You know, we could go down the list of questions — we could say, what about the president’s birth certificate? Were that — was that legitimate?” Carney said, according to the Washington Post.

    Carney has made it clear in the past he’s no fan of birther questions, once slamming real estate mogul Donald Trump as “ridiculous” for trying to reignite the debate over Obama’s birth certificate.

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/21/jay-carney-birther_n_3314452.html

    Jay Carney talks about Obama’s birth certificate, when asked about Benghazi and IRS. Can someone help me get a pass to the WH press conference, let me ask some questions, so at least Obama’s spokesperson gives answers to correct questions. I assure you, after a few questions and displaying a few docs, there will be no more press conferences, Obama will be moving from the WH to the Big House!!!

    Doc, don’t you always regret your better judgement? I have and do my own. But, thanks.

    I have heard it bantered that WKA, the 14th, and mere statutory birth citizenship (foreign or otherwise) sufficient for consideration as NBC. Well, maybe such is true but RvB holds that the 14th is the only explicit mention of citizenship in our Constitution; “Thus, at long last, there emerged an express constitutional definition of citizenship. But it was one restricted to the combination of three factors, each and all significant: birth in the United States, naturalization in the United States, and subjection to the jurisdiction of the United States. The definition obviously did not apply to any acquisition of citizenship by being born abroad of an American parent. That type, and any other not covered by the Fourteenth Amendment, was necessarily left to proper congressional action.”

    Should we not be equal opportunity haters regarding eligibility? Naturalization powers entrusted to the congress are not the litmus for NBC if this decision is to be considered with serious thought.

    Yes, I have qualms about President Obama…McCain and others should be held equably accountable per our USSC.

    BTW, RvB has many interesting discussion points to include the dissent.

    On the plus side, that’s one less loonie.

    His rant was even more bitterly directed against African and Arabic immigration, I mean ever more so than gay marriage.

    I’ve been both surprised and embarrassed by the size and the vehemence of the French opposition to gay marriage esp. since it’s a purely civil matter in a country where laicity is a very strong and powerful tradition.

    Two years ago no one would have thought it might become such a sensitive issue; Sarkozy was even contemplating adding it to his electoral platform, making it a bipartisan issue.

    This kind of blatant misrepresentation about Illinois law licenses really bugs me. But the article also makes me laugh when it says, “I have talked to several attorneys about this premise. What they had to go through, physically, mentally and financially, to get to the point where they could pass the bar was no small matter! To think that they would voluntarily relinquish their law license just a few years later, before you could even begin to pay back the money it took to get there, is beyond the pale.”

    Yeah, after all that work and investment, all he got was being recruited by Minor, Barnhill (a great civil rights firm that, inter alia, represented Chicago’s first black mayor and first black U.S. Senator), elected as a state senator, elected a U.S. Senator, and elected President of the USA. That’s why we lawyers everywhere shake our heads and wonder why he isn’t still practicing law in Illinois….

    “You are so smug, but there never would have been a question if he hadn’t put forth a forged birth certificate during the campaign. Why the need for the forgery? Further, he still hasn’t produced an authentic birth certificate (a printout from the state of hawaii is just evidence of what the computers say, and that can be changed.)

    My main comment that is that the “stern warnings” are worthless and I don’t understand how the judge can’t grasp that the whole reason Orly is before his court, here in 2013, is because she’s spend years and years operating as “counsel continue filing unsupported and groundless lawsuits” on this very issue.

    So he’s clueless if he thinks that she’s going to adhere to his “stern warning” and will suddenly stop filing or appealing this nonsense endlessly.

    He’s just another intended buck-passer, foolishly thinking that he can get the crazy lady to just shut up and go away, if he only treats her with kid gloves…or that she’ll at least be shuffled off to stink up someone else’s court room instead of his own.

She submitted all those worthless letters from all those teabagger retired military people. She sent out probably a dozen worthless subpoenas. Her next step is to submit an emergency ex parte motion for reconsideration based on massive usurpery and flagrant forgery, which Judge England will politely deny in due course.

    We knew he wasn’t going to sanction her, based upon what was said during the oral arguments, so there is some consolation is seeing that he addressed the frivolous nature of her lawsuits in the written decision.

    Bill Maher Slams Republicans For Their Racist Obama Birth Certificate Hypocrisy

    Maher also pointed out that Republicans favor Ted Cruz over Marco Rubio, because Cruz is a openly hostile to other Latinos. The Republican base is in favor of Latino leaders, as long as they embrace the party’s hostility towards their own people.

    You won’t hear many Republicans questioning Cruz’s eligibility to run, because he is a Republican from Texas who has embraced his party’s anti-minority rhetoric. It’s almost like the GOP has made Sen. Cruz an honorary white guy.

    Maher was right. If the situations were reversed and Obama had been born, and spent the first four years of his life in Kenya, Republicans would be impeaching him as we speak. But the rules are different for Republican candidates, who aren’t black Democrats. Republicans can keep trying to fool themselves with claims that their lingering belief in the great Obama birth certificate conspiracy isn’t race based, but the truth can be found in the fact that they have no issues with Ted Cruz’s eligibility to run for president.

    Republicans Move Closer to Impeachment With Claim that Obama Is Losing Moral Authority

    Rand Paul’s claim that Obama is losing the moral authority to lead is similar to what Republicans said about Bill Clinton in 1998, and another sign that Republicans are eyeing up impeachment.

    If this whole losing moral authority argument sounds familiar, it should. In 1998, then Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich used the moral authority argument against President Clinton. According to a 1998 Washington Post article, “Gingrich also tied the rise in drug use and teen smoking to the Clinton/Gore administration, which he said has “less moral authority” than any other in American history.”

    Last Sunday, Paul Ryan claimed the Obama administration was involved in the IRS scandal. RNC chair Reince Priebus tried to claim that Lois Lerner taking the fifth was evidence of Obama criminal activity, and today Rand Paul is claiming that President Obama is losing the moral authority to lead the country.

After all, not even Zullo claims he has “substantial evidence [Obama] was not born in [the US]”, only that the “probably forged” BC suggested that he might hide something that would affect his eligibility.

    May Thy Name be Known: Why would you spend that much money to get to a place where the [Expletive deleted. Doc.] health care sucks compared to the one in America?

    That’s one of the most obvious holes in the birther story. Even if they “explained” the Kenya trip with SAD wanting to meet her husband’s family, they have never explained why she would travel to Mombasa to give birth there instead of Nairobi (from where she’d fly back and which was only half the way from Kogelo Village).
    I think one blog once tried to “explain” this with some made-up Communist Woodstock that was held in Mombasa that SAD absolutely wanted to attend.

    Still I never understood the birther fixation on Mombasa. There is no indication Obama was born there, so if they really wanted to prove Kenyan birth, they’d be much better off searching at least in Nairobi as well and not just go “didn’t find anything in Mombasa, must be scrubbed”.
    My theory is that someone started the rumour about Mombasa and it stuck – conspiracy theories never correct themselves (only extend the narrative), lest someone could suspect they are wrong in other aspects, too.
    So even if an authenticated Obama BC from Nairobi surfaced, birthers would claim it’s a forgery or proof that Mombasa and Nairobi must’ve switched names around 1961 for some unknown nefarious reason.

  169. Michele Bachmann: ‘God Wants Me To Earn 7 Figures For A Lobbying Firm’

    “Then Jesus said I would be doing a great disservice to myself and the people I love if I don’t buy a new Mercedes.”

    Oh lord,
    won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz.
    My friends all drive Porsches
    I must make amends.

    – Janis Joplin

    There Is Now A Vagina-Themed Pinball Machine Inspired By Todd Akin

    Here’s something you don’t hear about every day: politically-inspired pinball machines. You may recall that the 2012 election season was plagued by the remarks of one Todd Akin, who said that women cannot get pregnant after being raped if it’s a “legitimate rape.” Those comments have inspired French artist Marie Busson to design a pinball machine with the inside crafted to look like a vagina.

    Kotaku caught this rather odd display, which positions the flippers as blocking the womb from intrusion by illegitimate rape sperm or whatever the metaphor’s supposed to be.

    Instead of the plunger being placed on the side of the machine, it’s squarely in the middle, aiming between a woman’s legs (IT’S FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY), so players can shoot the metal balls straight on into the womb, only to be blocked by the flippers. The machine is titled La Femme Flipper… en Réponse Tod Akin.

    And in case the description wasn’t enough, here is a photo of the display.

    These people are sick and so far gone I wouldn’t be surprised if they sided with America’s enemies simply because they want to get Obama out of office

    May Thy Name be Known:
    Reading all of this blog and the different beliefs of the birthers. One thing comes to my mind. WHERE THE [Expletive deleted. Doc.] DID Os MOM GET THE [Expletive deleted. Doc.] MONEY TO GET TO KENYA and for god’s sake WHYYYYYYYYYYY? Why would you spend that much money to get to a place where the [Expletive deleted. Doc.] health care sucks compared to the one in America? Is she insane?

    I can’t believe you read the whole thing.

    Would be consequential. Quite a few of them (especially immediately after re-election) professed that they hate the country that re-elected Obama and the majority of Americans who “have sided with socialism”. That’s all that’s needed to create a traitor.

    As can be the case with love between to people, these people don’t love America but the twisted image of America they have created in their minds. The actual America is as much an enemy to them as Iran or North Korea.
