Birthers: The Movie

By | 08.25.09 | 9:03 am

On Aug. 4, President Obama’s birthday, WorldNetDaily released and began shipping “A Question of Eligibility.” It’s an hour-long documentary produced by an “award-winning team” who chose, naturally, to, keep their identities “secret for fear of retribution from the administration.” To call it a “rip-off” would be to go easy More…

CNN host Lou Dobbs interviewed birther attorney Orly Taitz and perennial presidential candidate Alan Keyes on the July 15 episode of his radio show, asking his two discredited guests some shockingly credulous questions about the citizenship of President Obama.

To Dream the Impossible Dream

By | 01.15.09 | 5:07 pm

I ignored the phony (aired on YouTube and nowhere else) Obama birth conspiracy ad that finally got some cult success last week. But I generally keep an eye on Jason “Molotov” Mitchell, the 29-year old conspiracist video artist who cut that ad. This week he interviews Alan Keyes, the More…
