As state legislatures across the country begin their 2011 sessions, there is one lingering issue that simply won’t die. Conservative legislators in several states have already proposed more “birther bills” that allude to the conspiracy theory alleging that President Obama is foreign-born.
Yes, this is still happening. Take it away, Lt. Col. Terry Lakin:
For the first time in all my years of service to our great nation, and at great peril to my career and future, I am choosing to disobey what I believe are illegal orders, including an order to
One reason that Republicans are happy to have recruited Rep. John Boozman (R-Ark.) to run against Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.) — the odds of a primary win by Republican Curtis Coleman have declined considerably. Coleman talks to the Tolbert Report blog:
Absolutely, the President must produce his birth certificate.
The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals affirms, as expected, the decision of a lower court to fine birther lawyer Orly Taitz $20,000 for her conduct in a lawsuit on behalf of Capt. Connie Rhodes.
“We have fully considered Taitz’s arguments,” the court finds. “We find them unpersuasive and therefore More…
One reason that attacks on his master thesis didn’t really damage Gov.

Christina Bellantoni obtains audio of a Lincoln Day dinner in Ohio where — on their way to introducing the party’s U.S. Senate candidate, Rob Portman — a former and current GOP official both make jokes about President Obama’s citizenship.
Worth noting: The laughter for master of ceremonies and former More…
Joseph Farah, who sparred over the “birther” conspiracy theory with Andrew Breitbart at the National Tea Party Convention, pens a lengthy column — a promo for his own convention — attacking CPAC organizers for not holding a birther panel. It’s interesting in the same way that the More…
The song and video of “O.T.P. – One Term President” by “Wolverines” has been making the rounds — the fate of all eyebrow-raising conservative rap, I suppose. But I don’t think anyone else has pointed out the video history of rapper Molotov Mitchell, the bearded guy who rhymes “Thought More…
And the first use of Orly Taitz in a 2010 campaign video goes to Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), facing a stiff challenge from former congressman/radio host J.D. Hayworth, and going after him on his flirtation — not uncommon for right-wing talk radio hosts — with the “birther” movement.
