Birtherism Comes Cheap

Stephanie Mencimer answers a question that, as an occasional chronicler of the birther movement, I’ve had for some time. When they claim that the White House is spending millions of dollars to thwart their lawsuits, are they blowing smoke? Well, yes.

[C]onsider a case filed by one of the most prolific birther litigants, Philip J. Berg, that went all the way up to the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals. In November the court dismissed the appeal and ordered Berg to pay the legal costs for the defendants, which included the Federal Election Commission. Here was the government’s big chance to recoup its millions. But when the FEC submitted its bill, the grand total came to $20.40.

Basically, birther lawyers and exploiters like to cite the entire legal bills paid to law firms that defend against these lawsuits and say “that’s how much Obama has spent to thwart us.” They’ve willfully decided not to investigate further.

Dave does do this on purpose! I just had one with this epididymus-tbeanidiot, and he's got a long-form BC (Orly's baaaack!) he's trying to convince all and sundry he KNOWS is the “smoking gun” of truth. Of course, there is no long form, but if skydiving without a parachute is his thing, be it far from me to interfere.

A birfer was so distraught by the election of President Obama that he decided to commit suicide by hanging himself from a tree in the park.
A few days later, a liberal was walking his dog and spotted the birfer hanging from the tree. The liberal asked the birfer what he was doing,and the birfer replied: “I'm hanging myself, because I can't live with the fact that the liberal media won't admit that America elected a Kenyan Marxist as President!”
“Well, you're supposed to put the noose around your neck, not your waist”, said the liberal.
“I already tried that” said the birfer, “but I couldn't breathe”.

So maybe the Brit, Neil Sankey can succeed where the Russian immigrant (from the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic) has failed, bring it on.

Poor little Birthers (still in denial about their losses), Judge Land and now judge Carter, smack down the crazies (case dismissed).

Not even “Fake News” Glenn Beck or Bill O’Reilly believes the crazies, how funny.

To all the birthers in La, La Land, it is on you to prove to all of us that your assertion is true (TOUGH WHEN YOU KEEP LOSING CASES), if there are people who were there and support your position then show us the video (everyone has a price), either put up or frankly shut-up. I heard Orly Taitz, is selling a tape (I think it’s called “Money, Lies and Video tape”). She is from Orange County, CA, now I know what the mean when they say “behind the Orange Curtain”, when they talk about Orange County, the captial of Conspiracy Theories. You know Obama has a passport, he travel abroad before he was a Senator, but I guess they were in on it.

In my opinion the Republican Party has been taken over the most extreme religious right (people who love to push their beliefs on others while trying to take away the rights of those they just hate) and that’s who they need to extract from their party if they real want to win. Good Luck, because as they said in WACO, “We Ain’t Coming Out”.

I wonder if she is a mail order bride, just like her law degree? She is perfect reporter material for “Fake News”, where unfounded rumors and innuendo reign supreme , unlike a our US courts of law, where you need to present documented facts, not half baked lies (prepare for more failures).

A lawyer, dentist, realtor and black belt, WOW I must say a JACK of all trades master of none

I heard that she now wants to investigate the “Republican 2009 Summer of Love” list: Assemblyman, Michael D. Duvall (CA), Senator John Ensign (NV), Senator Paul Stanley (TN), Governor Mark Stanford (SC), Board of Ed Chair, and Kristin Maguire AKA Bridget Keeney (SC). She wants to re-establish a family values party.

I can only hope that Taitz will resist the state collectors that will be hounding her like the “ruff ruff” that she is to collect the $20K.

Preston,

Here's more you can add….Since Janice Okubo states long forms are no longer in use (they were used primarily because at the time, women were bearing children at home, and the long form was used for official purposes in regard to information on the children, and children's birthdates were often erroneous, because of the inevitable delay between birth and report of birth), and COLB's were substituted as official documents, this should be pointed out.

Second, the term “African” is not a racial designation (neither is “Malaysian”, which is reflected on my own BC), but if Obama's mother was asked of his father's origin, and she answered “Kenyan”, the answer would ostensibly (and correctly) be “African”.

Third, that bobbing for grenades instead of apples is hazardous to your health, especially if the pins are pulled beforehand.

Question: Why did the birfer stare at the orange juice carton?

Answer: Because it said “Concentrate”.

Question: why was the birfer's leg yellow?

Answer: because his dog was a birfer, too.

How do you drive a birfer mad?

Put him in the Oval Office and tell him the President's Kenyan BC is in the corner.

How do you drive him totally insane?

Tell him it's a long form.

Recent birther news…”We all had to bring our birth certificates to show we were who we said we were, and we were the age we said we were, to play football in youth sports,” said Hayworth, who is currently challenging John McCain (R-AZ) in Arizona's Senate primary. “Shouldn't we know exactly that anyone who wants to run for public office is a natural born citizen of the United States, and is who they say they are?”
Later in the segment, which aired Tuesday night on MSNBC's Hardball, Hayworth said the responsibility for producing evidence should fall directly on Obama.
“I'm just saying the president should come forward with the information, that's all.

The “birth certificate” Obama mentions on page 26 of “Dreams of My Father” would prove conclusively exactly where he was born. Perhaps it is the “source document” some Hawaiian official claims is on file in Honolulu(?). The college records would verify which citizenship Obama/Soetoro/Saetoro carried into adulthood. However whatever words are on those documents the mere fact Obama's father was a Kenyan-Brit/transient-alien precludes Obama from meeting the natural-born citizen requirement set forth by the framers of the Constitution. He shouldn't have been allowed on the ballots & now each state should review their ballot access regulations and prevent this illegal-alien from ever running for office again.

Interestingly, I just got my official birth certificate sent from IL so as to get a marriage license (my mother also forwarded me her tattered and faded copy from the family album)

Able to compare, I see that the new certificate is just a mimeograph of the original document on fancy security paper. That original document is a “COLB” — the title is “Certificate of Live Birth,” and it has no information about the doctor delivering the baby or whatnot. By the birther standards, my birth certificate if fake and inadequate: nowhere does it even say “birth certificate.” Perhaps I am Kenyan.

It is worth pointing out that I haven't even seen my birth certificate, or a copy, until now. I never needed one to get a job, despite the insistence of birthers that everyone in the country needs to present one for basic administrative tasks.

No, they wouldn't. You have US citizenship unless you officially renounce it, and government records are the only authority, and the final authority, on this matter.

I doubt that the president's college records contain some citizenship-related information (do yours?) but even if it did, no piece of paper in some college's archives trump the US State Department.

Can you believe there are some who STILL think there is a long form? I can unequivocally say that it was discontinued by 1947, when my eldest sibling was born, because hers is a COLB, too, as is mine, and most assuredly all the rest of the folk here. Does yours have little footprints on the back? Mine does. The quackpots will probably say those are forgeries, too.

I guess that makes us all Kenyan!

The issue of “African” Vs “Negro” is moot, because authorities in the South Pacific at the time probably felt it was more accurate to state country of origin instead of actual race.

So I guess at this juncture I'm a “Kenyan/Malaysian”, which is funny, since both my parents aren't either of those.

A birfer, liberal and independent were driving through the desert when they suddenly ran out of gas. They all decided to walk to the nearest town (which they passed, 50 miles back) to get some help.
A rancher was sitting on his porch that evening when he saw the liberal carrying a glass of water, so he asked: “Why are you carrying a glass of water through the desert?”
The liberal explained his predicament and said he had a long way to go, and he might get thirsty, hence the glass of water.

A little bit later, here comes the independent, with a loaf of bread. Again, the rancher asks: “What are you doing?”
The independent explained the situation, and says: “If I get hungry, I have this loaf of bread”.

Finally, the birfer appears, dragging a car door behind him. The rancher, more curious than ever, Asks: “Hey, why you draggin' the car door?”

The birfer says: “I have a long way to go…So if it gets hot, I'll roll down the window!”

The birther movement is more like the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing. They showed a Hawaii COLB that had both “Caucasian Hawaii” for the mother and “White” for the father.

The COLB is proof of citizenship at birth, and is one of the requirements to become president. How could a conspiracy theory grow out of something that simple.

Well, when you consider the source, it's not surprising….

The issues arising from Obama becoming President just twist their panties in a bunch. It's latent racism, whether they want to admit it or not, just as the rest of the attacks on Obama are. No other President has endured the kind of attacks this President has. To their policies, yes, but it never reached the level of personal, as this one.

See the “meeting” he had with the GOP at their retreat? Like shooting fish in a barrel. He was articulate, intelligent and funny. It also seems humor is a “foreign” concept to them, as well (they're not very self-effacing, either).

It might be wrong on this, but it is a surprise that Ms. Taitz is actually a lawyer. She even included the Magna Carta.

Courtesy of Constitution.net, for the benefit of birther idiots everywhere:

Natural-born citizen

Who is a natural-born citizen? Who, in other words, is a citizen at birth, such that that person can be a President someday?

The 14th Amendment defines citizenship this way: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” But even this does not get specific enough. As usual, the Constitution provides the framework for the law, but it is the law that fills in the gaps.

Currently, Title 8 of the U.S. Code fills in those gaps. Section 1401 defines the following as people who are “citizens of the United States at birth:”

•Anyone born inside the United States *
•Any Indian or Eskimo born in the United States, provided being a citizen of the U.S. does not impair the person's status as a citizen of the tribe
•Any one born outside the United States, both of whose parents are citizens of the U.S., as long as one parent has lived in the U.S.
•Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year and the other parent is a U.S. national
•Any one born in a U.S. possession, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year
•Any one found in the U.S. under the age of five, whose parentage cannot be determined, as long as proof of non-citizenship is not provided by age 21
•Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is an alien and as long as the other parent is a citizen of the U.S. who lived in the U.S. for at least five years (with military and diplomatic service included in this time)
•A final, historical condition: a person born before 5/24/1934 of an alien father and a U.S. citizen mother who has lived in the U.S.
* There is an exception in the law — the person must be “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States. This would exempt the child of a diplomat, for example, from this provision.

Anyone falling into these categories is considered natural-born, and is eligible to run for President or Vice President.

They will let nothing dissuade them from their tunnel vision that President Obama has no right to be president. “Logic, reason? What does that have to do with anything?” they declare. We have tried time after time after time to show them the error of their ways, all for naught!

I know by now that the birthers are immune to facts and reason. After all, they still claim that the constitution requires that both parents must be US citizens for a person to be a natural born citizen, despite the fact that this requirement appears nowhere in the Constitution, federal law, or any Supreme Court case.
However, just in case any reasonable people who don't know all the facts might come by, I want to provide the simple facts that demonstrate that our president, Barack Hussein Obama is just a natural-born as that other skinny guy from Illinois, Abe Lincoln.
Plus, it's fun to poke the birthers. It's like rubbing a cat's fur the wrong way. Does no harm and creates plenty of amusing annoyance.

It does make one think that perhaps enough padded cells aren't available doesn't it? We already know Oily should be in one, but for as much as she needs it, I think this guy needs one first. It is very hard to follow, let alone read some of the posted stuff, but I think this guy considers himself a country? It seemed that he has his own flag on some of those documents? Hard to see through the “cancellation” marks. I have never heard reference anywhere that would say the president had used his mothers maiden name, nor have I heard of Birdie Obama in any of the other crazy postings. I didn't think anyone could prove to be crazier than Oily but this one is taking the cake. Insane.

I don't know what kind of backlog the DC Courts have, but if they have very many like Oily filing cases I can imagine there is one. However, has anyone found out if/when there will be any kind of hearings scheduled in Oily's latest filing? Or if the other crazy one is going to be joined to her case? Haven't heard anything new for a bit, just wondering.
I haven't heard any more about her sanction and haven't had time to go look to see if her appeal was every heard in Georgia. Anyone heard a word on that? Just curious. With Palin being the butt of all the jokes in the last few days, I wouldn't want Oily to feel left out!

AntiBirther has been able to find another filing by Orly Taitz. It seems that she has a hearing in front of the California bar on February 26th.

Ms. Taitz is the “lightening rod” of the birther conspiracy theory.

I just went and read her filing. So according to Oily, everyone in the world is working against her and no one can be trusted to do anything. The California Bar can't be trusted, the courts can't be trusted, the government can't be trusted, whether it is at the state of federal level. She has already accused every judge who didn't rule in her favor, which was every judge, of treason. She has accused the justice department of treason and dereliction of duty, those military officers who had anything to do with any of her clients deployments or orders were all acting against her clients and for Obama. I guess she is unable to see how a military contractor may not want to employ a man who was drummed out of the military because he didn't want to follow orders to be deployed. Even military contractors know that when the orders are cut, you do what the orders say. It seems to me that when the commander in Afghanistan heard about Major Cooks attempt to declare the president ineligible to give him orders, the commander said he had a war to fight and didn't need the headache of a soldier who didn't want to be there- don't send him here. The military decided to rescind his orders and because he was a member of either the reserves of guard, if he didn't want to do what was asked of him and serve they didn't really need him and gave him his separation from service. I believe the company he was working for didn't think that failure to follow orders was a recommendation they wanted in their company. I can't imagine why he would be surprised. Guess he shouldn't have hooked up with Oily. These people need to learn that just because things didn't go the way you wanted them to politically it doesn't mean you can try to look for excuses against the president. This president was clearly elected, not given the presidency by the SCOTUS.
I am incredulous that she is asking to not only to be given the documents she is requesting but to have them examined by her own forensic examiner. Does she really believe the president would have such good forgeries created years ago to have fooled the passport office and all other offices he would have had to present proof to? Does she thing that his plan has been for many years to get to this point and run for president? The woman needs to be locked up in a loony bin. She is certainly certifiable. I will be waiting to see what happens in the next chapter of the saga of Oily Taters.

I don't know how much longer she will last, and knows she has no chance against the California bar on her own. She should get some good legal advice. She is silly enough to believe that a person who isn't born a natural-born citizen can become a natural-born citizen by the act of one parent becoming a citizen. She seems more intent on arguing around the facts, than addressing them.

Yes, everyone who doesn't agree with Ms. Taitz is her enemy. Every political who gets a whiff of birtherdom quickly back peddles.

I have to wonder if anyone with the bar association has fully investigated everything she has done. I know I heard her say in at least two of the videos I watched with her being interviewed where she quite audibly said her clients and the military need to take up arms in Washington DC against the government and “take the government back”. If she says that after coming out of a court room what is she saying to her clients and others when she has any kind of organized speech or when she is on the radio. It is my understanding she speaks out against American government quite forcibly on the radio show she does in Israel. When you consider how good of a friend America has been to Israel for so very many years and the amounts of American dollars that go into that country, it seems like they shouldn't allow someone to come in there and dis our government so badly. Of course, Oily's entire platform seems to at least verge on, if not actually meet, the definition of sedition. I just hope the California Bar does enough investigation to know all of what she has done. If Oily hates America so much she could always go back to where she came from.
