TagsTagsGood for David Horowitz; his latest column for FrontPage makes many of the same points I’ve been hammering away at since Barack Obama was elected (leading to a series of meltdowns in our comment threads, and a barrage of hate mail that shows no sign of letting up). Horowitz is ...
Barack Obama, Right Wing, Derangement, Conspiracy Theories, kooks, birth certificate
Just when you think shrieking lunatic Pamela Geller can’t possibly get any more raving cuckoo insane, she posts another one of her fetid rants claiming that the birth announcements for Barack Obama published by Honolulu newspapers in 1961 were “forged.” By the “C-I-A.” Yes, really. With extra added crazy person capitalization: Atlas ...

I’ve posted this several times, but apparently it’s still not getting across to some people. So here it is again. Any posted spinoff links that try to promote the “Obama birth certificate” nonsense will be deleted. If you insist on continuing to post such links, I’ll block your account. Enough is more ...
We’re not the only ones well and truly fed up with the “nirth certifikit” craziness. The judges who have to deal with these kooks are also beginning to reach snapping point. D.C. District Judge James Robertson penned a particularly harsh memo yesterday dismissing a case called Hollister v. Soetero. “This case, ...

Ben Smith doesn’t quite get the name right; it’s “Nirthers” (after one of the conspiracy bloggers missed the ‘B’ key and hit ‘N’, then left the misspelling in the post’s title for at least a day): Culture of conspiracy: The Birthers. And yes, these idiots are embarrassing — to themselves. LGF ...

Here’s a tale of the kind of sheer idiocy that gives blogs a bad name, as Pamela Geller has another meltdown: Atlas Shrugs: OBAMA GRANTS EMINENT DOMAIN RIGHTS TO AMERICAN LAND TO CHINA. The story may have originated with this Bloomberg article, about the Chinese asking Obama for assurances that the ...

Oh, for Pete’s sake. World Net Daily continues to promote the world’s stupidest conspiracy theory, with a story about a soldier in Iraq who’s committing insubordination because of his Nirther delusions: Soldier doubts eligibility, defies president’s orders. This link was emailed to me last night by a Nirther who wrote: “Now will ...
Nirthers, Conspiracy Theories, kooks, Barack Obama, birth certificate
I’ve been expecting this meltdown since Glenn Beck started talking about the “End Times” on his Fox News show last week, but yesterday he went full-on survivalist. All he needs is a sandwich board reading, “Repent, sinners!” Is it irresponsible for Fox News to be airing this over the top, creepy ...
Believe it or not, there are still some Republican politicians who refuse to let go of the world’s stupidest conspiracy theory: Lawmakers look dumb for reviving Obama hoax. Four Tennessee state representatives, all Republicans, have signed up to be plaintiffs in a lawsuit against President Barack Obama, aimed at forcing ...

David Horowitz hits this one out of the park, in a piece subtitled “Shut up about the birth certificate:” Obama Derangement Syndrome. The birth-certificate zealots are essentially arguing that 64 million voters should be disenfranchised because of a contested technicality as to whether Obama was born on U.S. soil. (McCain ...
Nirth certifikit Troofers strike out at the Supreme Court: Court won’t review Obama’s eligibility to serve. Imagine my surprise. The Troofers are probably conference-calling about this right now. WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has turned down an emergency appeal from a New Jersey man who says President-elect Barack Obama is ...
Anyone want to guess which idiotbloggers are taking part in these nirth certifikit conference calls? Each week a small group of people running websites and blogs dedicated to the story participate in a conference call to discuss the latest news and how to advance the story. Between 5 and 10 ...
Michelle Malkin on the birth certificate Troofer crowd (who are still just as obsessed and crazy as ever): Kooky Politics. A dangerously large segment of the birth-certificate hunters have lurched into rabid Truther territory. The most prominent crusader against Obama’s American citizenship claim, lawyer Philip Berg (who, not coincidentally, is ...
Ever wonder what goes on at a creationist convention?
