Another Birther Suit Bites the Dust

Thu, Oct 29, 2009 at 11:54 am PDT

Birther queen bee Orly Taitz has been pursuing a lawsuit in California’s Central District, demanding proof of President Obama’s citizenship. Today the judge dismissed the suit — and had pretty scathing words for Taitz: Orly Taitz Smacked Down: Birther Lawsuit Dismissed. Here’s the document, which Scribd allows me to embed ...

House Republican Chairman Praises Limbaugh, Beck

Thu, Oct 22, 2009 at 10:01 am PDT

The chairman of the House Republican Conference, Mike Pence, speaks out in favor of the race-baiting of Rush Limbaugh and the black helicopter bad craziness of Glenn Beck: Mike Pence: Limbaugh, Beck speak for many Americans. A picture of a political party gone completely off the rails. The GOP is ...

Jerome Corsi: Very Bad Craziness on Fox News

Wed, Oct 14, 2009 at 11:24 am PDT

He’s a Birther, he promotes insane conspiracy theories at World Net Daily, he appears frequently on Alex Jones’s whacked out radio show, he’s appeared more than once on the white supremacist radio show Political Cesspool — and last night he got two whole segments on Fox News’s Sean Hannity show ...

Birther Queen Fined $20K for Misconduct

Tue, Oct 13, 2009 at 9:24 am PDT

The queen bee of the Birther “movement” (no, not the shrieking harpy, although the name applies pretty well in this case too) has been hit with a $20,000 fine for her idiotic frivolous lawsuits. In an order today, California attorney Orly Taitz has been sanctioned $20,000 by U.S. District ...

Decomposing Conspiracy Theory Lurches Back to Life

Wed, Oct 7, 2009 at 11:18 am PDT

Today’s headache-inducing episode of wingnut density is the revival of the rotting corpse of the “Bill Ayers wrote Obama’s books” conspiracy theory, after this blogger encountered Ayers at an airport and had a short, belligerent conversation with him — in which Ayers told her, “I wrote Dreams From My Father.” ...

Nirthers on Television

Sat, Sep 26, 2009 at 10:29 am PDT

Unbelievable. Now the Christian far right is heavily promoting the mind-bogglingly dim Birther conspiracy theory, with an IQ-destroying infomercial produced by Live Prayer (the site has a picture of President Obama with the caption “God’s Enemy”) and Gary Kreep (yes, really!) of the United States Justice Foundation. For a mere ...

Birther Mastermind Wants Judge Tried for Treason

Thu, Sep 17, 2009 at 11:00 am PDT

As we noted yesterday, Birther queen bee Orly Taitz’s latest idiotic lawsuit has been thrown out of court — and the judge put her on notice that she’d face sanctions if she continued filing these mindless Birther suits. Now she’s comparing herself to Nelson Mandela, and wants the judge who ...

Another Nirther Case Thrown Out, Orly Taitz on Notice

Wed, Sep 16, 2009 at 1:18 pm PDT

Another Birther case has been thrown out of court, this one brought by a female Army captain trying to refuse redeployment to Iraq because she believes Barack Obama is a sekrit Moslem furriner. And her lawyer, the whacked out queen of the Nirthers, Orly Taitz, has been warned that she ...

A Note to American Nirther

Wed, Sep 9, 2009 at 8:55 pm PDT

The Nirthers at American Thinker call on me to authenticate the latest Nirth Certifikit they’ve dug up with help from Weird Nut Daily and Jerome Corsi: Obama’s ‘Long Form’ Shows Up. Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs did some admirable work on Dan Rather’s Memogate, primarily by duplicating ...

GOP Health Care Speaker: A Birther

Wed, Sep 9, 2009 at 7:51 pm PDT

Remember this video, showing Republican politicians who’ve signed on to the Birther madness? [Video] Guess who appears at about 30 seconds in, saying he believes “there are questions” about Barack Obama’s citizenship? Rep. Charles Boustany, who delivered the GOP response to President Obama’s health care speech. (Hat tip: Gus 802.) ...

Another GOP Nirther Revealed

Wed, Sep 9, 2009 at 9:20 am PDT

At the Cincinnati Labor Day tea party demonstration, an unhinged Birther approached Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-Ohio) and demanded to know why Schmidt wasn’t calling for an investigation into Barack Obama’s citizenship. Schmidt’s reply: “I agree with you, but the courts don’t.” [Video] Bad craziness, being stoked by Republican leaders. ...

A Call to Boycott World Net Daily From the Right

Tue, Sep 1, 2009 at 9:29 am PDT

I’ve been sounding off about the insanity peddled by World Net Daily for quite a while. They promote every wrong, crazy idea associated with the far right: creationism, birtherism, anti-vaccinationism, and much more. And some of their writers associate openly with white supremacists and racist groups. After reading an especially ...

Nirthers Never Go Away, They Just Get Crazier

Mon, Aug 24, 2009 at 9:17 am PDT

In a video we posted last month, Rep. Trent Franks (R-Arizona) was the only Republican politician who went on record with an unequivocal denunciation of the mindless “Birther” movement. Well, looks like Franks may now be joining the kookspiracy. The other main issue dealt with numerous speakers questioning Obama’s ...

Fox News Continues Mainstreaming Alex Jones Conspiracy Theories

Mon, Aug 10, 2009 at 1:02 pm PDT

Just when you think the weirdness might be slowing down a little, Fox News cites one of the most whacked out ravers at Alex Jones’ infowars.com, a far left nutjob with a history of antisemitic writings and conspiracy theories, as a reputable authority on swine flu. Foreign governments, too, ...

Craziest Blogger Rants About Nirth Certifikit at Newsmax

Fri, Aug 7, 2009 at 8:50 am PDT

One of the craziest bloggers on the web, Pamela Geller, who once wrote — in all seriousness — that Barack Obama was the love child of Malcolm X, has another Nirth Certifikit article published by right-wing site Newsmax: Newsmax.com - Obama Birth Certificate Issue Causing Needless Distractions. There’s no ...

Punkin' the Nirthers

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

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 ...

Thu, Aug 6, 2009 at 2:45 pm PDT

Pew Research’s latest News Interest Index survey shows that a majority of Republicans would like to see more media coverage of the Nirth Certifikit theory. Probably because it’s making Republicans look so good.

Mon, Aug 3, 2009 at 5:58 pm PDT

Looks like David Weigel has unearthed the probable source image for the forged Kenyan birth certificate — a “registration of birth” from Australia with striking similarities to Orly Taitz’s document.
