Orly Taitz’s Client Files A Complaint Against Her

By | 09.19.09 | 10:23 am

Bad news for Orly Taitz, the indefatigable birther attorney. On September 17, she filed a motion of consideration on behalf of her client Capt. Connie Rhodes, asking for her deployment to be delayed.

Here’s a strange story. On Sept. 8, Orly Taitz gave a press conference outside a California courthouse, during which she invited a small cast of characters to give statements. Taitz introduced a man named Marc Harris as “a reporter for Glenn Beck show (sic), number one radio show, and More…

The affidavit that Obama foe Larry Sinclair claims to have filed in a California court, in which he accuses birther Orly Taitz of trying to get him to lie on the stand, is available right here. In it, Sinclair recounts being ushered into Taitz’s office and being told More…

A Bad Day for Birthers

By | 09.16.09 | 4:25 pm

I’ve been remiss in linking to Alan Riquelmy’s report on a brutal court loss for Orly Taitz, the birther lawyer whose fame seems to be at the 14:59 mark. It’s not surprising that another one of Taitz’s incoherent filings has been thrown out of court. But the warning here More…

‘Birther’ War: Original Obama Conspiracy Theorist Accuses Orly Taitz of Seeking False Testimony

By | 09.16.09 | 1:41 pm

One of the strangest figures in the universe of Barack Obama conspiracy theories is Lawrence Sinclair, a 47-year old man with a long criminal record who, as Ben Smith notes, has made “outlandish allegations … that began with sex and drugs and moved on to murder.” It’s not worth More…

Quote of the Morning

By | 09.14.09 | 9:12 am

From Peter Wallston’s piece on the conservative fringe, which contains a lot of stuff that should be familiar to TWI readers, here is the reason Lisa De Pasquale, the director of the Conservative Political Action Conference, declined requests from WorldNetDaily to schedule a panel on President Obama’s birth certificate.

Another Day, Another ‘Birther’ Forgery

Josh Gerstein is all over the Justice Department’s filing in Orly Taitz’s latest “birther” lawsuit. Taitz’s suit includes — not as evidence, but as something she wants the court to verify — a ridiculously obvious forgery of a 1961 Kenyan birth certificate, obtained by a man who identifies himself More…

The entire pleading of Connie Rhodes v. Barack Hussein Obama et al, the latest attempt by Orly Taitz to use a soldier as a dupe for an Obama citizenship lawsuit, is up at this Website. My favorite part, based on a quick read:

There’s Something About Orly

By | 08.31.09 | 10:58 am

The indispensable Terry Krepel asks a good question: Why has WorldNetDaily not quoted Orly Taitz since dutifully promoting her forged “Kenyan birth certificate”?

Ignoring Taitz after months of championing her… is not the same as telling the truth about her. Do Farah and WND have the journalistic guts to

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…
