Orly Taitz Melts Down On MSNBC, Blames MSM "Brownshirts" (VIDEO) »

Posted By bluetexasvalley 3 months, 4 weeks ago in Political News

The conventional wisdom is that August is the slowest month for news, thus it's tailor-made for the "Birther" movement -- crazies that come hand-delivered to the media in their month of need, like barrel-dwelling fish that shoot themselves. Today, they're waving around a supposed "Kenyan birth certificate" for President Barack Obama without regard to the fact that it would have to have come from an alternate reality where Kenya became Kenya before Kenya was Kenya, and on which Obama is said to have been born in a city that was actually part of Zanzibar at the time of his birth.

    FTA:
    It's all pretty awesome and fun and now everyone's getting in on the "let's all forge up some birth certificates" craze. It's August 2009, and America is precisely where our founders envisioned we would be.

    On Monday, David Shuster and Tamron Hall hosted celebrated "Birther Queen" Orly Taitz, who is a walking Saturday Night Live character, possibly played by Chris Kattan, come to life. The resulting discussion was, as you might imagine, pretty special! Taitz came on, speaking as if in a panic, presaging her answers with complaints about CNN, referring to David Shuster as a "brownshirt," and making oddball claims about how "85% of Americans think Barack Obama was not properly vetted."

    Anyway, this is like Shuster and Hall attempting to interview an angry Fraggle.

    Some background on Ms. Taitz:

    from Bar Assn website: (notice the William H Taft law "degree"--it's distance learning/online program...)

    My head is spinning, spinning. That was hard to watch.

    I bet Kattan WILL play her in an upcoming episode.

    WHEW!

      That was almost painful to watch! I can't believe anyone, even the rabid radical right-wing nut jobs, would attach themselves to her "cause" the way they have. You know she has to be pretty bad when even Ann Coulter is calling her a "CRANK" instead of patting her on the back for her Obama-bashing efforts.

        I haven't been able to watch it yet but of course I have read more than is hygienic about her rantings.
        I have 2 questions for her but don't think I'll spend my international dime to call her up, despite the thoughtfully provided phone #..
        What is she a doctor of??
        Since her name is "Orly" obviously this means that she was born at an airport and is a French citizen and therefore eats raw frogs for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and is additionally a blood relative of Barack Obama, Osama bin Laden and the Creature from the Black Lagoon.

          Classic projection by the Cons once again.

          The comparisons to Hitler's Brownshirts who used to disrupt Democratic meetings in Germany the late 1920's and early 1930's with intimidation, bullying (and finally violence) are inevitable since they appear so SUSPICIOUSLY like the techniques and goals of the belligerent organized Birthers that are paid or led to disrupt the National discourse in American Town Hall meetings.

          Tricky but obvious move by the Republican think-tanks to cover the fact that besides having a TOTALLY KuKluxKlan sensibility, the Birthers also follow Nazi methodology.

          Here's what I find so fascinatingly funny .... EVERY TIME that a Right Wing Nut comes on a Media Outlet ... other than FOX ... they spend a large portion of their time ... claiming that #&10077Mainstream Media❞ is trying to shut them up ...

          What they never seem to acknowledge ... is that every one of them ... from Ann Coulter ... to Tommy Delay ... to Orly Taitz ... is given numerous opportunities to make their cases.

          I can't tell you how many times I've seen Ann Coulter interviewed on NBC and CBS ... and EVERY TIME ... she spends a good portion of her time complaining that #&10077Mainstream Media❞ is trying to 'shut her up'.

          How can it be that #&10077Mainstream Media❞ is trying to 'shut them up' ... when they continue to give these nuts opportunity after opportunity to present their points of view?

          To me ... it's an obvious ploy ... a duplicitous ploy ... and evidence that there is very little truth to the Modern Republican Movement.

          What the heck has happened to the once staid Republican Party ... they have become completely dissociative to honest values.

                This woman is a nut job who defends far right conspiracies. To give her credence is like thinking a fast food server could give out stock tips you'd be interested in pursuing.

                  It's unfortunate that such a high percentage of conservatives are buying in to this crap.

                  The Birthers have a bogus certificate they swear is real and then try to debunk the real certificate as bogus. Amazing.

                      I almost feel sorry for Ms. Taitz in this clip. She has obviously had a bad day, is distraught, exhausted and maybe jet lagged (wild guess: she was in Tel Aviv for a family funeral or something). She handled the first question poorly, and it went downhill from there.

                          why does obammaba have multiple social security numbers?
                          why does obammaba's paternal grandmother claim obammaba was born in kenya?
                          when obammaba was adopted by lalo sotero and moved to indonesia he became an indonesian citizen and a muslim, what has he done to reverse this?
                          what passport did obammaba use to travel to pakistan? his indonesian one?
                          why did obammaba offer a forged Hawaiian CoLB as proof he was born in hawaii?
                          why do 2 different hospitals claim they are were obammaba was born

                          there are many more conflicts that could be resolved if obammaba produced a true birth certificate
