I keep getting these bizarre messages through this site’s contact form from conservative groups asking me to help them get in touch with potential speakers for their meetings. One wanted Orly Taitz to talk to a Republican women’s group in California. This one wants Mike Zullo to speak in Florida. I thought it was interesting since recent comments here questioned whether a legitimate investigator would talk about an ongoing investigation at Tea Party gatherings. Here’s the email:
I see from an email a tea party friend sent me, they are having Mike Zullo speak next week on his investigator research he has done.
I wanted to find a contact so that i can extend an invitation to Mike to speak at the Tea Party Manatee weekly meeting. You can go to www.teapartymanatee.org and see our large group and you can also email me to set this up.
Tea Party Manatee is one of the largest tea parties in FL. We have an email list of 2,800 and a facebook of 800 members. And, we are growing. Last week we had the honor to have as our key note speaker Trevor Loudon from New Zealand.
A quick Google search turned up a good bit of birther activity at the Tea Party Manatee web site, and a strong Jerome Corsi connection. This very public organization may give us a window on what happened with the Surprise Tea Party in Arizona that started the Maricopa County Cold Case Posse witch hunt there.
I never know exactly how to reply to these things. In the case of Orly Taitz, I just sent them her phone number. In this case, I said enigmatically:
Are you really sure you want to have Mike Zullo speak after he was caught fabricating evidence? I wouldn’t touch the guy with a ten-foot pole.
Tea Party Manatee haas a 20 ft pole, so they will be OK
My understanding of how the whole Surprise! Tea Party! mess started is that Bryan Reilly got a message from God. I’ve got his account of that somewhere, and I’ll look it up for you here directly. I believe it’s in an extended comment he made at some Kentucky Tea Party page.
You do, of course, correctly characterize it as a witch hunt, and the reason everything seems to be stalled is that Zullo has been unable to locate a duck that weighs the same as President Obama.
I’m convinced there must be a suitable anagram for “Trevor Loudon”, but I haven’t quite got it yet.
Loon Rove Turd?
Between the “Please do my work for me” appeal and the tortured prose, it’s either an authentic birther message, or an expertly studied imitation!
so Tea-Partiers are not the sharpest knives in the drawer. that’s a shocker. pretty funny though..
I’d never heard of the man before I read about him in the article, but after reading up on him a bit, that’s kind of the direction I was heading.
Did you get a reply to your comment about Zullo…
Trevor Loudon = Unloved or rot.
Better than anything I’ve yet come up with!
Trevor Loudon = Drool Vote Run
Trever Loudon = Rove Drool Nut
I found it! Not the anagram, but Brian Reilly’s message from God (it was North Carolina, not Kentucky):

So, __ron, you’ll be voting for President Obama, then?
We the people elected Barack Obama in 2008. We the people have thus spoken.
May I suggest high school…
There once was a birther named Ron,
Who bought almost every con.
If against the Prez,
He likes what it says,
Any sense he once had, now gone.
(Apologies to Squeeky)
Your comment would be more convincing in all caps. Then it would have been chock full of truthiness. Instead, it just sounds like you started drinking too early on a Sunday.
Ooo, I think you forgot one. You should be hating “ObamaCare” because I am relatively certain it will not guarantee coverage for self-medication.
Huh?????
Lolllllllllll!!!!!!
. . . of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
I always recite that in song style, as I first memorized it as a kid from listening to the School House Rock song that teaches about it… 🙂
You sir are proof that hate causes brain damage…your mind has clearly rotted away to nothing but incoherent babble…
And a dictionary……………………
Me too!
You should seriously consider putting out a newsletter.
Now I have that song stuck In my head. Thank you so very much, G.
Too bad they didn’t make one for legal concepts and processes. Orly could use one.
Written on a typewriter, and mimeographed.
Nostalgia Time!
Constitution Preamble – Schoolhouse Rock
My favorite Schoolhouse Rock’s were the ones performed by Bill Sheldon, a jazz trumpeter who used to crack wise on the Merv Griffin Show band.
I’m Just a Bill was one of his bests, I think.
Yeah, I’m Just a Bill is another one of the greats!
I have the full collection in multiple formats at home (I kept picking them up as new ones came out), so I’ve got them on VHS, DVD, CD and even a compilation of popular 1990’s bands performing cool covers of them (School House Rock Rocks).
When I saw “Birther hot spot” I hoped it meant a self-immolation.
I think the manatee would be ashamed to be associated- but in reality- the manatee is a beautiful creature who is about as smart as a cow, eats seagrass, and just lumbers along and has no sense of self preservation.
Maybe Tea Party Manatee is more apt that I originally thought.
Since you say Obama is “ineligible to be in office,” then by your logic Obama had no authority to send Christopher Stevens’ nomination to the Senate for confirmation, yet you call him “ambassador stevens” when he couldn’t have been an ambassador at all. Please explain. I’ll wait.
I was scrolling through my Google Reader \for Doc’s comment feed seeing the title Birther Hot Spot and later a comment from G. My 7:30 am brain combined the 2 replacing the Hot in the Birther Hot Spot with the letter G.
And then, I had a sad.
