TagsTagsBirtherism, the strange mental aberration that afflicts an amazing number of right wingers, has definitely not subsided. The release of Barack Obama's original long-form birth certificate had no effect on the delusion. In fact, I predict we're going to see another huge resurgence of this insanity if/when Barack Obama is reelected, ...

The new, freakishly bad Birther book by World Nut Daily's Jerome Corsi has debuted at number six on the New York Times' Best Sellers list. But note the little dagger symbol. WHERE'S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE?, by Jerome R. Corsi. (WND, $25.95.) An argument that President Obama is not a natural-born U.S. ...

Would you believe that Weird Nut Daily writer Jerome Corsi is still trying to work the Birther angle? Today he got into a battle of wits with Donald Trump over an idiotic point that isn't even worth describing: Trump: Birther Jerome Corsi Got it Wrong. It looks like these cretins are ...

Last week we took note of a Washington Post poll that seemed to indicate support for the Birther movement collapsing, following President Obama's release of his "long form" Hawaiian birth certificate. But there's another poll from Zogby that didn't get as much media play, also taken after the release of ...

A new Washington Post poll shows, amazingly, that President Obama's release of his "long form" birth certificate actually did have a big impact on the Birther delusion: Poll: Number of ‘birthers’ plummets. In interviews following the public release the president’s “long-form” birth certificate last week, fully 70 percent of Americans ...

Top Republicans are covering themselves in glory today, courageously standing up to the Birthers and telling them to knock it off once and for all. Had you going there, didn't I? In reality: Republicans punt on birth certificate, continue embarrassing the country. Sarah Palin: Media: admit it, Trump forced the issue. Now, ...

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 directly ...

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 Court ...

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 $30.00 ...

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 warned ...

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 could ...

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 Rather’s ...

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.) UPDATE at 9/9/09 8:50:59 pm: Not ...

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.

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 birth certificate ...

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 point ...

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 ...

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.

Public Policy Polling has released a new survey of Virginians (PDF), showing that Barack Obama’s approval rating is dropping — but also that Virginia Republicans are overwhelmingly in thrall to the Birther madness. A majority of Virginians who voted for McCain (36%) said they don’t believe Barack Obama was born in ...

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.
