Orly Taitz Melts Down On MSNBC, Blames MSM "Brownshirts" (VIDEO) »
Posted By bluetexasvalley 3 months, 4 weeks ago in Political NewsThe 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.

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. -

WOW ... that's amazing!

I must ask ... why is it ... that the Modern Right ... has so .... SO many lunatics that wind up being their spokespeople?
Well ... I guess I can answer that question .... when the Australian, Rupert Murdoch came to America ... he decided to employ criminals ... ( G. Gordon Liddy ... Oliver North ) and make them spokespeople.
And any freak that comes along who can dishonor traditional American values as much as him ... he makes into a star.

Why?

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.
Reply
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.
Reply
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.-

Good point, and did you see the videos of the Joe the Plumber thugs disrupting Katherine Sabalius at a town meeting, shouting her down.

The cons are one step away from organized terrorism.
When they threaten all day long, its only a matter of time before they start bombing abortion clinics, and targeting politicians.
they are so invested in Obama's failure, they'd destroy the country. -

Careful Crespi.......KKK was an organization started by DEMOCRATS.......Truth is, not too many of us really care about this ...........as someone else posted, the damage is done. As for the town hall meetings, unlike those that Obama calls "town hall" where only Obama supporters are allowed in and questions are reviewed and handpicked, the Congressmen are not allowed such an easy road. The Congressmen set these meetings up, not the public. EVERYONE can attend...........so where were all the Obama health care supporters? Aren't there ANY out there that chose to attend a meeting and voice their opinion about how great this plan is?

Actually, they said Ann Coulter called her a "crank" not a "kook" and they didn't demand an answer to that until she demonstrated that she actually IS a crank (I can't believe I am agreeing with Ann Coulter on anything, but she hit this one on the head). She never responded to the real questions put before her (birth announcements in the Hawaiian paper, etc) and instead ranted on about his birth certificate and something about Obama not being a citizen even if he was born in Hawaii because his dad wasn't a citizen....since when do both parents (or even ONE parent) have to be a citizen for a natural born child in America to be an American citizen? She said both parents have to be citizens, and since his dad was a citizen of Kenya that means Obama's not a real citizen of America. Wow.......so all these anchor babies from Mexican parents being born in the US as citizens, even though neither parent is a citizen, aren't really citizens and aren't really anchor babies allowing their parents to stay since the child can't be deported since the child is actually a citizen??? Who knew..I guess everyone but this lady has it wrong. Being born in the US isn't really the criteria to be a "natural born citizen" of the United States. I'm sure all those who want the illegals to go back home will be happy to hear this. I wonder why the INS never figured that out? lol this is just nutty!
Reply
And no....its not news. It's a ridiculous distraction, just like the "Skip" Gates story was, to try and keep Obama from actually accomplishing anything while in the White House. Never mind what's best for the country. Never mind what's best for our society and citizenry. We need to give credence to conspiracy theorists because everyone loves a train wreck to watch. That's what's wrong with the "news" today.....but then it is a pretty fair reflection on our society, so who is really at fault? -

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 ...
Reply
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.

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?
Reply
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 -
