Punkin' the Nirthers

Thu, Aug 6, 2009 at 4:21:39 pm

That “Kenyan birth certificate” promoted by World Net Daily, Orly Taitz, Free Republic, and quite a few bloggers turns out to have been a deliberate prank on the Nirthers. They were well and truly punk’d.

The first words I wrote immediately after seeing the latest incarnation of the Nirth Certifikit:

Today we get a ludicrous effort by head Nirther Orly Taitz to foist off an obviously fake “Kenyan birth certificate” with Barack Obama’s name on it.

Not that I would ever say “I told you so.”

Or nya nya, Freepers, nya nya.

Or anything childish like that.

Just sayin’.
