    Sounds silly, I know, well…

    You may be right
    I may be crazy
    But it just may be a lunatic you’re looking for

    While I question it’s veracity, I don’t blame Trump, or other Republicans, for being disappointed by revelation that Romney didn’t really want to be president.

    Butterdezilliion has posted at Free Republic: Crunch Time – HELP NEEDED.

    She reports how she has filed a criminal complaint in Lincoln, NE, apparently against Bob Bauer. At a Lincoln police station she found a sympathetic Officer Flood, who promises to bring her complaint to the attention of the state AG.

    But mostly she talks about faxing a letter about her complaint to every GOP member of Congress, and encouraging everyone to write to Congress in support of her letter, with the goal of raising an objection when Congress counts the electoral votes.

    She goes on at some length, and there’s plenty of crazy, such as this: “I will remind you all that Larry Grathwohl listened to Obama’s friends from Columbia University talk about the logistics of exterminating 25 million people they expected to resist ‘re-education’.”

    I recall it was her and/or Dr. K(H)ate, that claimed with with confidence that the $2 Million trip to South Asia a few years back was Obama running away as he could not take it anymore. They claimed he knew he was done and was skipping town to get out of the office.

    She certainly has the inside track on the President’s intentions.

    Considering Butterdezillion is a vocal proponent of the idea that Hawaii confirming Obama was born in Hawaii is somehow a confirmation that Obama was NOT born there, I would take everything she says with a HUGE grain of salt. Her posts are truly crazy. I can just imagine her trying to explain her problem to a police officer. He’s probably trying to figure out how best to just get rid of her without her getting violent. He knows he’s talking to a crazy lady.

    Orly has a new press release out. The title says that Chief Justice Roberts is going to rule on Noonan, et al. I chose not to click on the attachment that was the only thing related to this headline, as it was a link to her site, and I didn’t want to wreck my computer. However, the body of the release deals with Grinols. There are two amusing things in here. First, Orly now claims that “For over two hundred years all the letters sent by the US Post Office contained a postal stamp with a four digit year. The only time a postal stamp was found with a two digit year, is on Obama’s Elective (sic) Service certificate.” Apparently Orly has managed to track down and examine every single postmark and stamped document done by the Post Office for the last 200 years. Truly an impressive feat. The other item I got a chuckle from is Orly explaining how she sent $753.20 to each federal official and $975.40 to President Obama for them to fly to California for the hearing. First, I assume this means she sent them money for one-way tickets, and how they get back is their own business. Second, she uses this to ask for more donations, since, after all, these people will be cashing the checks she sent them and flying right out to Sacramento to take part in her circus.

    Don’t you know that saying that information matches is not the same as saying it is identical? After all, matching means, um, well, hmm…yeah, that’s where she loses me.

    OK, just one more. Corsi, over at WND, is now saying that it was Obama’s decision on having Schatz replace Inouye, rather than Abercrombie, apparently as a reward for not asking the DOH to show him Obama’s birth certificate.

    i don’t know how much they could have paid me to go on this cruise – perhaps enough to cover the delousing

    Steaming past Guantánamo, en route to the Cayman Islands, a boatload of Republicans ponder the plight of a party at sea.

    The cruise, featuring the star columnists of William Buckley’s 57-year-old conservative biweekly, had been planned long in advance, and everybody had believed it would be a victory party. An -e-mail from the magazine’s publisher arrived a few days before we embarked: “Do not despair or fret. At least not next week.”

    Most of the roughly 600 National Review cruisers, who’d signed up for what was billed as the “conservative cruise of a lifetime,” were in their prime during the Reagan years—the greatest days to be a conservative. Nostalgia and loss hung in the air, with much talk of endings, both personal and national. To sum up his feelings about the election, John Wohlstetter, a national-security author in his mid-sixties who had met Buckley several times (“utterly gracious, and he listened”), recalled the words of a long–forgotten liberal lamenting a loss: “The people have spoken, the bastards.”

    Kevin Hassett, a former economic adviser to Mitt Romney: “Minorities came out like crazy,” said Hassett, sighing. “White people didn’t get to the polls. There are far more African–Americans voting than they expected.”

    after being read the riot act by pollster scott rasmussen and Evangelical operative Ralph Reed re minorities, comments by the “reluctant patients”: “That depressed me!” one woman said. To my right, a man snapped, “That’s bullshit!”

    The man was Bing West, former assistant secretary of Defense under Ronald Reagan, a former Marine and a National Review contributor.

    West, mocking Rasmussen, said: “If you stupid Republicans weren’t so goddamn bigoted you would have won the election!”

    James Lileks, a National Review columnist from Minnesota, warmed up the crowd with one-liners: “If we can put a man on the moon, we can put 50 million Democrats up there as well!”

    their “sense of fear was everywhere on the ship, fear of an impending debt crisis that would crush all fortunes, fear that the Anglo majority was now marginal for the first time in their adult lives, fear that the country the cruisers once knew had fully given way to something more … diverse, foreign, incomprehensible.”

    Jonah Goldberg: “This is a more downbeat bunch this year,” he said. “We lost in 2008, but it was almost boisterous and fun. This, a little less so. People were dyspeptic.

    “Their conception of what the country is about, they really were sure the country would reject Barack Obama,” he continued. “I do think it hits them hard. The fear I have, why this election stung, I think, Obama has successfully -de-ratified some of the Reagan revolution in a way that Clinton never could and didn’t even try to. That’s what freaks people out, that feeling in their gut, either Obama has changed the country, or the country has sufficiently changed that they don’t have a problem with Obama. That’s what eats at people.”

    Michele Bachmann Wins WND’s ‘Woman Of The Year’ Award

    runner-ups: Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R), German Chancellor Angela Merkel and outspoken conservative antifeminist Phyllis Schlafly, among others, to win the honor.

    Judging women based on the qualities of “goodness, womanliness, perseverance and character,” WND lauds Bachmann for being a “gutsy, pro-life fiscal conservative who dared to vote against raising the debt ceiling.”

    WND continues: “She’s a God-fearing, gun-loving advocate of tax cuts and domestic oil drilling — and has proven to be one of Obamacare’s worst nightmares.”

    Bachmann has been a relentless warrior for conservative values, waging combat against the federal health-care takeover.

    You ask a good question, why is Butterdezillion doing this. On the one hand, she’s clearly hoping to have an objection raised when counting the electoral vote. While I don’t think there’s any chance of that, asking Congress to do what Congress has the power to do makes more sense than asking courts to do what courts do not have the power to do.

    But her rant also seems to contain a vague notion that Congressmen who don’t act will at some unspecified future time be held accountable, because she is documenting that she provided them with this information. She specifically mentions her fax log.

    This seems to be a common piece of birther mythology, that someday they will be in charge of the government, and when that happens they will execute every Congressman, judge, journalist, state election official, and blogger who ever failed to agree with them. And, of course, the Obamas.

    New York State has updated its results but the vote counting apparently has not been concluded. I assume that the high number of provisional ballots cast due to Sandy is to blame for the delay. Certification was scheduled to be done by December 10.

    In relation to my previous comment, about how birthers dream of the day when they can execute everyone who disagrees with them, we have this recent comment at ORYRby “ron”:

    id like a front row seat at his hanging. i want to be close enough to hear his neck pop when it breaks and close enough to see him shit his pants and piss all over his self. id get it on my phone cam as a reminder and post it on youtube over and over. Pelosi should be next right after him for her part in this crime. they can do a group hanging for all the treasonous democommies in our government. we the people need to demand this and all you judges who lied and dropped the cases about his criminal actions you all need to spend life behind bars with only a TV channel that plays Obama speeches 24/7 365 days a year that cant be turned off. you all need to live a life of constant Obama running his yap telling lies.

    This isn’t really a new claim for the buttery one. She’s been pushing this logical contortion ever since Onaka issued his verifications. Of course, no birther has taken her aside and explained to her that she is making no sense. At least the freepers call out Sven when he talks about Obama having naturalization papers somewhere, or having been in the custody of a Connecticut charity because he flew back from Indonesia as an unaccompanied minor.

  73. donna says:

    mario ends his diatribe with:

    Our historical precedents have spoken as to who is a “natural born Citizen.” The U.S. Supreme Court has confirmed the definition to be a child born in the country to citizen parents. Congress is constitutionally bound to apply this definition to Obama. Congress’s failure to apply this definition to Obama and to again declare him President of the United States would amount to nothing more than treason upon the constitution and the nation by allowing a de facto president to continue in that all powerful office for a second term rather than a constitutionally legitimate one. The fate of the nation is in the hands of Congress on January 4, 2013.

    donna: New: Strunk’s Appeal In New York Electoral Challenge;

    Thanks for linking to Strunk’s latest. His point F really hooked me:

    F. Congress to show cause why it should not hold the $43 Trillion Dollar theft by Barack Obama et al. since 2003 null and void under the 14th Amendment Section 4; […]

    $43Tn? Where did that figure come from? 2003? Is he throwing the Shrub under the bus too? Or blendering all the Presidents in his mind? Congress should nullify this imaginary crime …. by citing the 14th amendment section dealing with civil war debt incurred by the South and claims related to Emancipation?!?

    Wow. he can’t be that crazy, can he? Oh, yes, yes he can … as this (relatively) short excerpt demonstrates:

    12. Then thereafter, as an Indonesian Citizen SOEBARKAH (aka Barry Soetoro) reentered the USA in 1971 alone without a U.S. Passport to live with his grandmother who: (i) obtained foreign student funding, (ii) illegally obtained a stolen Social Security Number no later than 1980, (iii) forged a SelectiveService filing dated 1980, and now after the death of the mischievous grandmother, inter alia SOEBARKAH in furtherance of usurpation of the officeof POTUS no later than April 25, 2011, according to more than three experts,forged a Long Form Certificate of Birth as if of Hawaii and is the simple matterbefore this court for a trial of facts.

    13. That inter alia Petitioner further contends based upon information andbelief that notwithstanding the citizenship status of Barack Obama, thatBarack Obama has multiple allegiances maybe as many as five (5) British, Kenyan, Indonesian, Canadian, United States by oath of office, and despitetaking an oath owing exclusive allegiance to the United States, the Usurperlevies war against the People of the United States, adheres to their enemies al-Qaida, Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, Hezbollah, GÜLEN Movement and Iran against the People of the United States to establish the Caliphate from Thailandthrough Morocco to replace the Ottoman Caliphate dismantled by Winston Churchill and T. E. Lawrence in 1921, and giving the enemies / Enterprise aidand comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason; andthat any candidate elector and or public officer who would aid and abet Barack Obama in usurpation of office of POTUS is no less than guilty of misprision of felony, sedition and treason.

    14. That based upon information and belief Barack Obama is the asset of thePilgrim Society, Le Cercle, 1001 Club, Commercial Club of Chicago, Sovereign Military Order of Malta, Council for National Policy, whose powerful membership overlaps with the directorships in various think tanks, mainstream media, financial institutions, law firms, corporations, and farmore secret societies hardly worth mentioning; that all covertly support theUsurper to complete the European Union -EU (Fourth Reich), as directed by Fr.Peter–Hans Kovenbach, S.J. to dissolve all Eurasian national secular borders,and form the Mediterranean Union, as King Juan Carlos of Jerusalem’s crown jewel, at the hilt of the neo Babylonian Caliphate scimitar Arc of Crisis swath from Thailand to Morocco, hewn by their crown prince SOEBARKAH – Obamafealty “There is no other God than Allah!” allegiance to the Opus Dei – MuslimBrotherhood – GÜLEN / EU Utopian Islamic Fascist Alliance (UIFA) totransform United States national sovereignty by plundering our youth by warand U.S. Taxpayer $43 trillion Dollars wealth by theft.

    15. Petitioner contends based upon information and belief, that the UIFAoverthrow of the enemy of the Bedouin and al Qaeda, the U.S. ally was BerberMuammar Muhammad Abu Minyar al-Gaddafi (June 1942 – 20 October 2011)since surrendering to George W. Bush in 2003, renders Libyan assets to UIFAwith IMF control over the African Union by assassination of its financier-leaderand now underlies the Crown Prince SOEBARKAH and Hapsburg / Pallavicini family asset Hillary Clinton (like with the Rothschild – “Red Shield”) dealwith UIFA Muslim Brotherhood associate President Mohamed Morsi andMohamed al-Zawahiri of Egypt, sought with the younger brother of Al Qaedaleader Ayman al-Zawahiri to have Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman, commonly known in the United States as “The Blind Sheikh”, released from Federal prisonby using al Qaida to kidnap the “Ambassador” Christopher Stevens from theBenghazi CIA “mission” or CIA (Georgetown’s Patraeus contracted) safe house(a residential rental property), where the Libyan munitions magic mystery tourstill is underway for arms transfer to UIFA assets in Syria; and that thekidnapping scheme was easy to devise for the exchange of CIA agent Stevens for the Blind Sheikh, since the actual “U.S. Consulate” was safely guarded in Tripoli by the State Department Security Service far away from the CIA rouge arms deal mission agents protected by U.S. National secrecy in Benghazi; and

    16. However on September 11, 2012, the best made plans for the attack /kidnapping by al Qaida went sideways due to the fact that two Navy Seals disobeyed CIA orders to stand-down and joined the defenders to kill more than 100 al Qaida attackers during the five hour fire fight that ended by their death,the Ambassador rape /death, the continued incarceration of The Blind Sheikh , the slaughter of Egyptian Coptics, Israelis blamed for the movie trailer, and themedia coordinated support of the badly managed false flag cover-up by Ambassador Susan Rice, Secretary Clinton, Secretary Patraeus, Secretary Leon Panetta, and the Usurper UIFA Crown Prince speech at the United Nations.

    This is really astounding stuff. It’s a 317-pg stream-of-(un)consciousness ramble, every line packed with multiple, uncited allegations (I did remove the citations he does make above, they were all (surprise!) from the web). He tossess out the craziest memes as if they were self-evident (still looking for a breakdown of his missing $43Tn…). A thunderous demonstration of why Strunk must be named the nuttiest nutter in the birfer butter, heck, maybe even the entire Conspirasphere. He’s more voluminous and random than Taitz, and farther down the rabbit hole than Epperly. I picture Strunk keeping this file open at all times, constantly firing off new crazy into it whenever he finds something new or a couple of axons misfire in his head.

    I’ve been working with my son on the importance of showing your work. Strunk, and birfers in general, need the same lessons. So much effort for naught.

    This appears to me to be the repeat of a pattern that has been going on for awhile. Someone posts a story about some birther legal nonsense and suddenly it spreads through the birther universe faster than a prairie fire. It ties into their hope that something is going to work and any day now. And as January 4th (actual date of Congress EC vote count) approaches there is a greater sense of desparation so a story about Butterdezillion sending Congress a letter “proving” that Dr. Onaka’s verifications are in fact not verifications is just the grasping of that last straw.

    Because butter lettuce dezillion did a thousand back flips and then came up with this and starting posting it (mostly on free republic) as fact. They are over there now sort of asking questions about it and some are getting mad, saying it’s miselading and one said it was an outright lie and said someone was playing with the birthers.

    butternutdezillion then came onto the thread and starting dancing and getting more and more tangled, but she’s so crazy that I can’t keep up with her. So that’s where this is all coming from…….a crazy woman with children who I think volunteers at her kid’s school. Some have said that she teaches, but I think that she’s just a substitute or something. At any rate, it’s frightening to think that she does even that.

    It’s another symptom of the stead drip method. 6 months from now, birthers will have forgotten this all originated from an old word-twisting game – and was completely untrue – and the “fact” that “Hawaii has confirmed the BC is fake (but the MSM ignore it)” will have become part of their closed world-view (alongside “nobody remembers Obama from college”, “Obama was introduced to a postman as a foreign student” and “Obama wrote in his autobiography that he was born in Kenya”). And they will spout it again as another of their “1,001 reasons I am a birther”.

    Well, you can already smell “crank” when you see them start off with claiming that defendants need to “prove allegations wrong” or have to “reply using their full legal name” (which already shows they will go “Barack Obama is not his full, nor his legal name” if any reply should ever be filed).

    I found both articles to be interesting reads, although they really haven’t touched upon anything that hasn’t been said by others before.

    What I was saddened by is the delusional defensive state found within most of the commentary sections on both articles, which sadly proved the very thesis of the first article right there…yet at the same time, demonstrated that the prescription given in the closing section is certainly easier said than done…

    As one of the commentators correctly noted in the first article, many people are more reflexively fearful of admitting they are wrong than they are of honestly examining their own motivations for their beliefs and ideologies… so I really don’t know how “reachable” most people are from their own self-delusions…

    That was an excellent article!

    Beyond the actual lies which they debunked, their summary assessment of why this bunk occurs and persists in the first place is spot on:

    Yet these emails are believed. Why? It could simply be the desire to accept information that conforms with one’s beliefs and to reject facts that don’t. David Emery, author of About.com’s Urban Legends page, told us in 2008: “I have come to the conclusion that especially where political rumors are concerned, most people are so locked into a particular world view that they tend to reject any information, no matter how well supported, that contradicts their cherished assumptions.”

    As with the JPotters article about Compartmentalization, it really sadly comes down to just that…

    I may be under a rock, but I just happened across this today. A must see for any interested in the irrational. It’s the bizarro version of Michael Shermer / Skeptic magazine. (PseudoSkeptic magazine according to these loons.)

    This corner of the loony left, dedicated to defending the paranormal, is firing both ways, against the Big Science Conspiracy (oh, brother), and against Big Religion. Their topical responses to rational criticisms are great, if disturbing, reads.

    Apparently all a project of Winston Wu … an aspiring object of his own personality cult. Oh, look, the Conspiracy Trilogy …. he’s pushing 9/11 Trutherism, Moon hoaxism, and JFK assassination … at the same time!

    Along with tons of material promoting the wonderfulness of international dating …. via ‘romance tours’. Oy. It always gets weird at some point.

    Now that is what I call a quintessentially pointless essay.

    Ava Gardner was, at most, one month pregnant when she arrived in Kenya to film Mogambo in October, 1952. And she certainly didn’t fly to Kenya with the intention of giving birth there (seeing as how the fetus was aborted late in 1952), although she undoubtedly got to fly first class courtesy of MGM.

    Gardner’s trip to Kenya has absolutely nothing in common with your fantasy of a late-term Stanley Ann Dunham flying coach from Honolulu to Kenya with the intent of giving birth there.

    And, come to think of it, you have never produced proof that you visited Kenya.

    Larry Klayman finds New Case Authority to Challenge Obama’s Forida Electoral Victory

    Larry Klayman and Michael Voeltz’s research has produced a new Motion for Rehearing in their fight to nullify Barack Obama’s Florida win in the 2012 election. They asking for a telephonic conference call to “set the date for a specially set evidentiary hearing on the merits, as the law is now clear that one is required”. We’ll keep you posted on the outcome.

    – In conducting further research, Plaintiff has come across the case of Palm Beach County Canvassing Board v. Harris, 772 So.2d 1273 (Fla. 2000) (Exhibit 1), legal authority that was somehow overlooked by the court and the parties. The Supreme Court of Florida has thus conclusively already ruled that this court has jurisdiction to consider and rule upon Plaintiff Voeltz’s election challenge on eligibility and fraud. This court must respectfully grant an evidentiary hearing. –

    – Moreover, the case is not moot. Indeed, in the now famous 2000 Bush/Gore election challenge cases, this Court proceeded to adjudicate the parties’ dispute long after the Florida Electors had met. -Larry Klayman Dec 31, 2012 VOELTZ v OBAMA, et. al.

    FL VOELTZ III 2012-12-31 Notice of Newly Found Case Authority and Supplement

  124. JD Reed says:
    January 2, 2013 at 9:01 pm

    I don’t remember it the way Klayman does. In fact, the high court ruled that the vote counting must stop because of time constraints, i.e., the scheduled electoral college vote the next week.
    The U.S. Supreme Court specifically usurped (is this a fair verb?) jurisdiction from the Florida Supreme Court, and said the vote counting could not proceed because it would violate the equal rights of all voters, and besides, it was too late. So whatever the Florida court ruled was superceded by the ruling of the nation’s highest court. It’s now Jan. 2, soon to be 3, and just a few days before Congress ratifies Mr. Obama’s re-election, and 2 1/2 weeks before the President takes his oath of office for his second term.
    Way too late to assert an already overruled precedent.
    Klayman’s legal research is on a par with his supposed ability to flummox Justice Scalia.

  125. JD Reed says:
    January 2, 2013 at 9:07 pm

    Lucas, the question is not whether Stanley Ann Dunham Obama was ever in Kenya, it is whether Lucas Smith was ever in Kenya. You’ve repeatedly ducked opportunities to prove you were, so what is a reasonable person to conclude?

    Random addition to the thread:

    I just posted the following at the “Fellowship of the Minds” Web site; and since I’m pretty sure it won’t get posted, I just want to put it here, too. Maybe one of the birther visitors to this blog will take me up on my wager…

    “I believe he will say that this bill is too important to use the autopen and will want to use the background of the Hawaiian paradise to sign the actual bill that he will have flown there, at taxpayer expense, just to rub our noses in it”

    Great guess, Tom, but President Obama used the autopen option, so it looks like another Obama-hater “belief” has not come true. Kind of like the misguided belief that he was born in Kenya. Don’t you guys ever get tired of being wrong? (Don’t worry, I’m sure Orly Taitz will find a judge who will have Obama arrested… ANY. DAY. NOW)

    I’d really like to cash in on this insane belief system. On another post here, it was written, “Obama is moving to become a dictator. In order to do that, Americans must be disarmed. Our government is preparing legislation to have firearms confiscated, beginning with semi-automatic rifles and military-grade handguns.”

    Dr. Eowyn, if you believe this will come to pass, please put your money where your meme is. I can’t predict what kind of additional gun control legislation (if any) will be passed, but I’ll wager you $100 (USA dollars) that Obama leaves office at the end of his term, without attempting to declare himself a dictator, and without having been found to be ineligible, as a non-natural born citizen, by a US Court.

    I live in the same area as you; maybe in four years we can meet at the Saturn Cafe for some vegan muffins, and I’ll give you a $100 bill (picture of King Obama on it, no doubt). Or, perhaps you’d be paying me? Heck, make it $1,000 if you want. I like money.

    The 113th Senator will feature the nation’s first openly gay senator–Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisc.). And the first open bisexual was elected to the House–Rep. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.).

    And this Congress will break religious barriers as well. The Senate will feature its first Buddhist, Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii). And the first Hindu will join the House, Sen. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii). Gabbard said the new faces will make Congress more like what she saw during deployments to Iraq with the Army National Guard.

    Your most recent comment at ORYR was deleted by the Admin. I can just imagine the profanity filled, incendiary rant you posted.

    they’ve got a thread up saying that anything that doesn’t agree with them will be deleted.

    guess the got tired of being made look silly(er)

    Here’s the announcement.

    “To whom it may concern,

    “If you voted for or support Obama your comments are no longer welcome here. Since I will be forced to purchase something against my free will and my tax dollars will continue to be used to murder innocent babies. I choose to abort any and all pro-Obama comments posted here that I come across. Don’t like it? Tuff shit! Oh, and masking your IP won’t work in the long run.”

    ORYR and Orly know exactly what they are doing, and are hiding behind the 1st Amendment.

    Note these people only love the 1st, when it comes to free speech. When it’s about separation of church and state, they try to subvert it.

    Those new record stats of greater diversity in representation are a good start and something to be proud of for our nation, but..

    …Now if only the 113th congress can accomplish something, since the 112th was easily one of the most shameful and inept in our entire nation’s history.

    .

    donna:
    history recorded today in the 113th congress

    (old) white men will not make up the majority of house democrats and there is a record number (20) of female senators

    the 113th congress includes

    113 congress

    101 women

    43 african americans

    31 latinos

    12 asian americans

    7 LGBT members

    The 113th Senator will feature the nation’s first openly gay senator–Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisc.). And the first open bisexual was elected to the House–Rep. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.).

    And this Congress will break religious barriers as well. The Senate will feature its first Buddhist, Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii). And the first Hindu will join the House, Sen. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii). Gabbard said the new faces will make Congress more like what she saw during deployments to Iraq with the Army National Guard.

    today began the run for the 2014 election – in fact, on election eve, mcconnell held his first fundraiser as he fears a primary from the right

    erick erickson from redstate said about paul ryan’s YES vote: “Thus ends the Paul Ryan 2016 Presidential Exploratory Committee”

    and then

    The problem for the GOP is that its House leadership is working at cross purposes and really is in the disarray the “liberal media” keeps saying. Look no further than Eric Cantor and Kevin McCarthy voting no on the plan.

    They should not be commended for voting NO. This is a sign of disarray.

    For those who think the GOP will get its act together come the debt ceiling fight, all signs point to fractures still at the top of the House with Cantor and McCarthy working at cross purposes to the Speaker.

    They are unable to do anything now but dangerously spiral further out of control and towards ever increasing infighting and insanity, as they seek to eat their own and simultaneously lash out and blame the rest of the world for their own problems, greed and cynical worldview manipulations…

    It is certainly not good for the country and although they are thankfully being reduced in power due to their own outrageous actions, they can still do a hell of a lot of damage on their way down and out…

    …so hang on…

    …we are still in for one hell of an unpleasant and bumpy ride from them and all of their fracturing yet selfish factions…

    an interesting interview of one of obama’s classmates at Punahou by fox news

    while all of it is interesting, the last part mentions his birth:

    WATTERS: Now, last question. There was that controversy about his birth certificate. When you heard that, how did that make you feel when everybody was talking about that?

    BOWERS: I thought it was the most ridiculous debate I had ever seen. Because all of us were born in Hawaii at that time, we have the same birth certificates… If you happen to have kept the original one, which is a very thin extremely blackened out piece of paper with, you know, it’s very fragile, and what was even funnier was that our classmates, we have twins in our class, they were born right before then, literally their numbers in that hospital were right before his. Their mother knew the doctor who delivered him. So, we all felt that that was an extremely useless debate and wish that American hadn’t gone there.

    WATTERS: Well, thank you so much for taking the time. I appreciate it. And, aloha?

    High Profile Political Cases: Nader, Bush, and Obama

    Bio: Sandra Ramsey Lines is a retired law enforcement officer from the Office of the Arizona Attorney General, a former senior document examiner with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, and is now in private practice in Arizona. Sandra began her training with Robert Lockard of the Arizona Department of Public Safety. She holds an AA and BA and is certified by the ABFDE, a Fellow of the AAFS, a member of ASQDE, and a member of SWAFDE.

    Abstract: High profile political cases can be problematic for forensic document examiners as they can be accused of bias or even conflict of interest regarding their findings. This paper summarizes three political cases the author was involved in: presidential hopeful Ralph Nader, former President George W. Bush, and current President Barack H. Obama. Recommendations are made for dealing with political cases and the conclusion lists questions the expert may be asked to establish bias or limit their testimony.

    misha marinsky: THE Zane Grey, for which Zanesville, Ohio was named?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zane_Grey

    Zanesville,Ohio

    Zanesville was named after Ebenezer Zane, who had constructed Zane’s Trace, a pioneer road from Wheeling,VA (now WVa) to Maysville KY through present-day Ohio. He gave, in payment, in 1797 to his son-in-law, John McIntire1747-1811, at the point where Zane’s Trace met the Muskingum River. With Zanes help, McIntire platted out the town and opened an inn and ferry by 1799. In 1801, Zanesville was officially renamed from Westbourne (Zane’s chosen town name).

    From 1810-1812, the city was the second state capital of Ohio.[4] The National Road runs through Zanesville as U.S. Route 40. Novelist Zane Grey, a descendant of the Zane family, was born in the city.

    From your Zane Grey link:
    Pearl Zane Grey (January 31, 1872 – October 23, 1939) was an American author best known for his popular adventure novels and stories that presented an idealized image of the American frontier.

    So the town was named in 1801, Zane Grey was born in 1872.

You’ve posted yet another vile ad hominem attack filled with more holes than Baby Swiss cheese, which is precisely why Obots have no credibility – You folks are just like a can full of worms, you foolishly believe that only your opinions matter because you believe your little internet colony of “progressives” comprises the entire universe. “Facts” to you backward “progressives” (who absolutely refuse to learn from history) constitute dangerous unexplored territory which does not suit your silly agenda….What puzzles me is that when we examine Obama regarding the actual content of his character using quotes taken from his own statements and promises, he is found sorely lacking in so many ways, yet Obots continue to vehemently deny his myriad pathological lies exist. Those of you who blindly follow Obama and believe every word he speaks and every document he presents is true and correct are clearly delusional, thus proving yourselves totally incapable of discerning fact from fiction and reality from fantasy. Everyone who possesses good research skills, adult level discernment, and any common sense at all knows full well Obama’s entire life story is simply a clever fabrication which bears no resemblance whatsoever to reality. “Dreams From My Father” contains fewer “facts” than a comic book…Are you fools incapable of comprehending that Obama’s much loved Marxism and socialism are failed theories resurrected from the trash heap of civilization? Study history and you will learn that Obama is merely another of history’s self important despots, just like Mao, Hitler, Stalin, or Mussolini. Genocide and world domination were their goals and Obama is following suit – History will record that he, too is a miserable failure…BTW All the recent leftist whimpering and whining about “assault weapons” (which is, as usual, 100% incorrect terminology) is leftist B/S. FBI Homicide Data for 2011 shows rifles were used in 323 homicides, blunt objects (clubs, hammers, etc.) 496, and personal weapons (hands, fists, feet, etc.) accounted for 728. You constantly emotionally overwrought freaks should be begging for hammer registration and confiscation or the amputation of all hands and feet….. Now that you have been presented with the truth, you non-thinking, completely ignorant by choice, and perpetually paranoid parasites known as “Obots” may begin your standard and very predictable endless recitation of the left’s worn out, totally meaningless, laughable, and very childish trademark saying – “You’re a racist!”…

Do you think he ever advocated for the execution of judges and other officials who ruled against him? Do you think he ever asked electors and politicians to stipulate that they may be committing treason if they vote to certify election results? Do you think that he ever referred to dead children as collateral damage? Do you think he ever filed a case in the wrong court, citing the wrong statute, suing the wrong people, at the wrong time? Do you think a judge ever suggested that he look up the definition of the word ‘evidence.’ All these signs of birfoonery and inhumanity apply to Taitz.

There have also been 70 appellate level rulings and 22 petitions for Writs of Certiorari and/or applications for stays or injunctions at the Supreme Court of the United States.
    66 million Americans were at peace enough to give Barack Obama their vote and not a single member of Congress objected to the certification of his 332 Electoral votes.

    Wow, you’ve got quite a bad case. MY business has thrived under Obama. More casualties under BHO than Bush? What have you been smoking? That’s garbage, and I’m not even counting the 3400 Americans killed on 9/11 because Bush ignored all the warnings.

    I’ve been fascinated with dystopias since I was old enough to know what the term meant. Have a great collection of dystopic literature and cinema back to the WWI. Naturally this interest lead to fascination with the Cold War and life behind the Iron Curtain. I’ve been fortunate to not have experienced dystopia firsthand, but cane see how such environments contribute to paranoia, cynicism, fatalism, and mistrust as defaults.

    But, I also observe that our own country produces bumper crops of people cursed with the similar dysfunctions.

    Just today I ran across the ramblings of William Cooper. Author of Behold a Pale Horse, which is still a classic amongst CT nuts, 10 years after he died in a shootout with cops in his own driveway. Just another day in the American nuthouse.

    Sometimes it’s amazing how little people from the Communist Bloc know about their homeland’s recent history:

    In 1947, King Michael I was forced by the Communists to abdicate and leave the country, Romania was proclaimed a republic,[69][70] and remained under direct military and economic control of the USSR until the late 1950s. During this period, Romania’s resources were drained by the “SovRom” agreements: mixed Soviet-Romanian companies established to mask the looting of Romania by the Soviet Union.[71][72][73] Wikipedia

    1947 — With Soviet troops on its territory, Romania enters the sphere of influence of the Soviet Union. The communists, who gradually took power, force King Michael to abdicate and proclaim Romania a People’s Republic.
    1950s — After Stalin’s death, Romania begins to distance itself from Moscow.
    Official Romanian Travel and Tourist website

    For a few years after the abolition of the monarchy, Romania closely followed the line dictated from Moscow. This situation continued until the end of the 1950s.

    Lumi: Stalin was in no way directly involved in the affairs of our nation.

    That is ridiculous.

    In September 1944, Romania switched sides from axis to allies. Soviet troops entered the country unopposed. At the Yalta conference, the allies had agreed that Romania would be 90% in the Soviet sphere.
    Here, in your native tongue, is the document (like the birth certficate, it is not a forgery):

    http://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fi%C8%99ier:Churchill_si_crucificarea_Romaniei.jpg

    On February 24 1945, a demonstration in Bucharest led by Communist leader Ana Pauker turned violent. Stalin’s man in Romania was commissar Andrei Vyshinsky, known for blind obedience to his boss and his vitriolic diatribes against Stalin’s victims during the 1930’s purges. Vyshinsky met with twenty three year old King Michael and demanded the dismissal of anti-communist Prime minister Radescu. What followed is described by Michael Dobbs in his book Six Months in 1945:

    “The Soviet Union would tolerate no further delay. Vyshinsky looked at his wristwatch. “You have just two hours and 5 minutes to make it known to the public that General Radescu has been dismissed, “ he told the king. “By eight o’clock you must inform the public of his successor”
    When the Romanian Foreign minister objected that the king had to proceed in a constitutional manner, the Russian told him brusquely to shut up.”

    The King capitulated. A communist dominated government was appointed that took its orders from the Kremlin. Michael (who is still alive) was later forced to abdicate and a People’s republic declared. FDR wrote to Churchill “ The Russians have undisputed control”

    1.) Wealthy Ava Gardner and her entourage flies from Kenya to a posh hospital in London to get an abortion while filming a movie in which she doesn’t appear pregnant.

    In another thread somewhere I made a comment about the current heat wave in Australia. I think Doc deleted it because I can’t find it now. It was grossly off topic and deserved to be deleted, so no problem, but someone, I forgot who, queried my statement that they thought the national average high temperature would be beaten. I now have more information.

    The previous highest national average was 40.17C on December 21, 1972. The record was not broken a few days ago, though it was close, but it is expected that when they finish their sums later today that the record was broken yesterday, and may be broken again today. The average is calculated from over 700 data points all over Australia. From the Northern Territory to Tasmania, from Western Australia to Cape York.

    The number is not the highest temperature ever recorded in Oz, it is the average of all those 700 data points from around the country. The record highest recorded temperature was 50.7 C (123.3 F) at Oodnadatta on 2 January 1960. Oodnadatta is likely to be the hottest place in Oz again today at around 46C. I was there last year, when it was comfortably cool (in the mid 30’s 😎 ). There ain’t no shade to speak of nowhere, nohow. I do not envy the locals in any way, and I grew up in the desert (Southern Arizona).

    We are currently in the hottest streak in history, with the national average staying above 39C for 5 days, and that record is likely to stretch to at least 7 days.

    Fires in Tasmania the last few days have destroyed over 100 homes and several schools and other public infrastructure. People are trapped on peninsulas and are being evacuated by a ‘Dunkirk’ style flotilla of volunteer fishing boats. The last number I heard was that over 100 people were unaccounted for, and authorities were fearful that many of those folks would be found in the rubble of their homes.

    Most of Eastern New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory and some of Victoria has a fire rating of ‘Catastrophic’. We’ve had about 2 years of good rain after 8 years of bad drought. The fuel load is huge and has been scorched by the hot weather and solid dry northerly winds.

    One example of an absolute disaster waiting to happen is in Mildura Victoria. A lot of grapes are grown there under irrigation, but they over planted, contracts collapsed, drought and water rights buybacks caused many growers to realize that their land was unviable and just walked away. Mildura is surrounded by thousands of hectares of abandoned grape vines (and other orchard crops, mostly citrus) that haven’t been watered in years, just waiting for something to turn them into an inferno.

    Lumi: BTW All the recent leftist whimpering and whining about “assault weapons” (which is, as usual, 100% incorrect terminology) is leftist B/S. FBI Homicide Data for 2011 shows rifles were used in 323 homicides, blunt objects (clubs, hammers, etc.) 496, and personal weapons (hands, fists, feet, etc.) accounted for 728.

    Ah, here we go again. I love how the gun crazies rely on the same old tricks to make a point. Wow, only 323 murders by rifle, while clubs and hammers killed so many more!! You forgot to add the tired line about how Obama will probably want to ban hammers now (sorry, I just re-read your comment above; as it turns out, you DID parrot that idiotic refrain!! That would be hilarious if it weren’t so pathetic!).

    But what you DON’T say can be as important as what you DO say. Why the obsession with rifles? Senator Feinstein is a common lightning rod for the gun crazies, and usually that oh-so-clever “hammers-v-rifles” statistic is followed by a mention of her proposal to “ban rifles.”

    But here are the weapons that Senator Feinstein wants to ban: “semiautomatic rifles, handguns, shotguns that can accept a detachable magazine and have one or more military characteristics; and semiautomatic rifles and handguns with a fixed magazine that can accept more than 10 rounds.”

    Now, for a more complete picture, why limit the stastistics to just rifles? Take those FBI murder statistics for 2011, for example: if you add up murders for ALL types of firearms, and compare that to ALL OTHER types of murder (hammers/clubs, fists, knives, poison, arson – sorry, as much as you may disagree, abortion is not murder), the firearm murders make up MORE THAN DOUBLE all the others combined.

    And, as far as I know, no little kid has ever blown his head off with dad’s hammer. And the only BS I’ve seen on this site today came from you.

    Ted Cruz draws presidential buzz, but is he eligible?

    Courts have shown no interest in broaching the issue, leaving it to be debated in the political sphere.

    “It’s a pretty significant step for the courts to say, ‘Hey America, you want this person to be president, we’re going to stop that,’” Roosevelt said.

    In his primary campaign for Senate last year, Republican Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst mentioned Cruz’s birthplace in a Web ad. Democrat Paul Sadler, Cruz’s general election opponent, was more explicit.

    “Rafael Cruz — ‘Ted’, that’s what he goes by, his real name is Rafael — was born in Canada, educated at Harvard,” Sadler told local Dallas affiliate WFAA.

    Laurence Tribe, a constitutional law professor at Harvard Law School and an adviser to Obama, said Cruz would be smart to prepare a more thorough explanation to put the issue to rest, much like the brief he prepared with Ted Olson that affirmed McCain’s eligibility.

    “I’d need to know more, but it certainly doesn’t sound like a sufficient explanation,” Tribe said. “The status of [McCain’s] parents as members of the U.S. military stationed in the Canal Zone at the time was deemed sufficient.”

    And for those still not convinced by legal briefings, constitutional scholars or bipartisan congressional resolutions, Roosevelt had another suggestion.

    “Anyone who thinks he’s constitutionally ineligible,” he said, “can simply not vote for him.”

    White House Petition To Try Dianne Feinstein For Treason Crosses Threshold For Response

    A petition submitted to the White House’s “We the People” website calling for Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) to be tried in a federal court for treason has reached the requisite 25,000 signatures for an administration response.

    The petition, which claims that Feinstein’s recent push for a renewed assault weapons ban makes her guilty of “treason to the Constitution,” has received attention in right-wing blog circles. It has been pushed on InfoWars, a site run by prominent conspiracy-theorist Alex Jones, who recently drew attention for firing off an explosive rant on CNN host Piers Morgan’s program on Monday night. Jones himself had helped coordinate a highly successful White House petition to deport Morgan over his outspoken support for gun control measures, which earned a preliminary response from the administration on Monday.

    From the petition against Feinstein:

    Which ties in with anyone favouring a Constitutional amendment being called “unconstitutional” (something you see in my country as well). Which obviously included the Founders as they’re the ones who created the amendment process in the first place.
    (Interestingly, the German Constitution contains a provision that basically states you cannot amend the Constitution in a way that would explicitly or effectively abolish its first and most important articles, such as the democratic nature of the state, whereas the US Constitution allows to change *every* provision into its opposite.)

    Washington Establishment “Circling the Wagons” May Cost Elector More Than $12k in Sanctions

    Hundreds of non-Establishment types aka American citizens have filed Memorandums of Complaint, lawsuits or ballot challenges seeking the courts remedy only to be dismissed on lack of “standing” but none have faced MORE THAN $12,000 in sanctions. None, that is, until an elector in Washington State, named Linda Jordan, dared to file a ballot challenge in August 2012 clearly enunciating the unequivocal fact that the fraudulent long-form birth certificate, sitting on the White House web server, cannot be used as evidence that Mr. Obama meets “any” of the three Article II qualifications in order to be a presidential candidate. The case was dismissed by a department of the Washington State Supreme Court on December 4th as “Frivolous” and sanctions were awarded. The Attorney General is asking for over $12,000 and the Commissioner of the Court was due to make the final determination on January 3rd. So far no word.

    Jordan filed an extremely well researched and articulated Complaint accompanied by a Motion to Show Cause and an Affidavit with Exhibits. In it she detailed not only her own observations about the number of odd anomalies found in Mr. Obama’s purported long-form birth certificate, posted on the White House website after being hand delivered by Mr. Obama’s private attorney, but includes Sheriff Arpaio and the Maricopa Counties Cold Case Posse’s findings which have stated clearly, for the record, that the image of the long-form birth certificate is a forgery and a poor one at that! This crude forgery is and has been sitting in broad daylight for any and all to see since April 27, 2011. Anyone with the most basic computer skills, can clearly see the plethora of oddities, anomalies and irregularities, and permit me to remind you that the only people saying this certificate is the real deal are the same “enablers” “followers or “useful idiots” hired by the political Washington Establishment to obfuscate, lie, cheat and ridicule any who dare to question or challenge.

    Order dismissing the original case.

    The Obama Release Your Records report is highly misleading. Jordan is not being sanctioned for bringing a frivolous lawsuit; she is being sanctioned for bringing a frivolous appeal of the dismissal. The Secretary of State advised Jordan that sanctions might be sought and offered her the opportunity to withdraw the appeal. Jordan did not, and sanctions were requested.

    The article speculates that Obama used an Indonesian passport to go to Pakistan. But records on Indonesian passports are not kept by the US State Department at all. Rather, they are kept by the appropriate agency of the Indonesian government, So, if someone wanted to know whether Obama ever held an Indonesian passport they would have to break in to Jakarta not Washington. Note that nowhere on the US passport appilcation does it ask whether you have or are eligble for the passport of another country. Nor is it illegal for a US citizen to travel on another passport.

    hmmm that’s not the same one trump previously released when he said a COLB couldn’t be used to obtain a passport or driver’s license

    “A ‘birth certificate’ and a ‘certificate of live birth’ are in no way the same thing, even though in some cases they use some of the same words,” Thuy Colayco, from Trump’s staff, wrote to ABC News. “One officially confirms and records a newborn child’s identity and details of his or her birth, while the other only confirms that someone reported the birth of a child. Also, a ‘certificate of live birth’ is very easy to get because the standards are much lower, while a ‘birth certificate’ is only gotten through a long and detailed process wherein identity must be proved beyond any doubt.”

    Colayco went on to explain that a certificate of live birth would not be accepted to obtain a passport or a driver’s license, whereas a birth certificate could.

    he first released something from jamaica hospital:

    http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/trump-releases-birth-certificate/

    and then his “long form”

    “Notice that is contains the vital stastics, parents information, and required on the ‘standard Birth Certificate’.”

    http://nobarack08.wordpress.com/2011/03/29/donald-trump-releases-his-long-form-birth-certificate/

    are either PROOF that Trump isn’t the “spawn of his mother having sex with orangutan” ?

    i think that would require DNA testing

    personally, i think trump resembles a red butt baboon

    Here’s something that gives interesting insight into birther thinking. ORYR has a post about how Chief Justice Roberts should be impeached if he swears in Obama.

    Birther thinking #1: Congress, which shows no interest in impeaching Obama, might be willing to impeach Roberts for swearing him in.

    Then there’s a comment by jh4freedom which lays out the process for impeachment (accurately) and ends with:

    In order to remove Roberts, two-thirds of the Senators would have to vote for him to be guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors. That means 67 Senators must vote guilty. Currently that would require the votes of 22 Democrats and all 45 Republicans, including the RINOs.

    Birther thinking #2: impeaching a conservative justice, whose replacement would be appointed by Obama, would be supported much more by Republicans than Democrats.

    I was just reading the same crap at Fellowship of the Minds. They saw some claim that photos of grieving parents were in fact “crisis actors” paid by the administration, and they bought it. I pointed out that the “actors” had been, in fact, identified as parents of students at Sandy Hook, and that this rumor was started by the same people who claim Adolph Hitler and Walt Disney were the same person (an early crisis actor, I guess?).

    “Where is the surveilance tape,” they cry. “Where is the mysterious ‘other gunman’?” they demand. I asked them if there is anything at all in this ever-lovin’ world that they DON’T think is a massive conspiracy, but that one didn’t get posted.

    Ah…..kinda like that comet that passes nearby every 100 years or so. I must have missed his earlier transits of this universe.

    He used to be a regular here, and known for using multiple sock puppets. His specialty was making outrageous assertions about non-existent adoptions, Obama being a refugee from Indonesia, etc., all without a shred of evidence.

    Sven has the unique gift of being able to “know” what is in documents he has never seen and which do not even exist.

    and says any documents that would help his wild claims if they existed have been `cleansed’, which is why he has no proof.

    couldn’t be they never existed in the first place, eh sven?

    aesthetocyst: I wish I had a nickel for every time a winger declared anything to be a hundred time bigger than Watergate. 40 years later, they’re still trying to pass that buck!

    A lot of them are still desperate to “get even”. Which probably was one of the reasons behind the McCarthyan persecution of Clinton and may be the prime motive of some birthers (the non-racist kind) today.

    roadburner: and says any documents that would help his wild claims if they existed have been `cleansed’, which is why he has no proof.

    Yeah, the old “absence of evidence is evidence of absence” meme.

    typical exchange with sven:

    sven: The State of Hawaii is not the final arbitrator of U.S. Citizenship.

    The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, will provide Certified True Copies of a Certificate of Naturalization and return these along with the supplied documentation to the requester. USCIS cannot act as an agent of the U.S. Department of State by accepting fees on behalf of other government agencies, or forwarding documentation to any other government agency. All documentation coming from a requester, along with any documentation supplied by the Department of Homeland Security, will be returned to the requester.

    WildHighlander57: What documents have you been able to get, using this approach??

    dinodino: Well, you just go ahead and scan and post whatever documents you manage to get, Sven.

    IF this is even true. Knowing your posting history, that’s a huge “if.”

    sven: If I post a scan of a document, then the first words out of your mouth will be, “It’s a fake!”

    Consequently, you will actually have to get off the couch and obtain copies for yourself.

    Do you want to see Obama’s Certificate of Naturalization? It’s at USCIS, Lee’s Summit, MO.

    Do you want to talk to an eyewitness to Obama’s entire primary school education? Find Neal Boortz’s sister and ask her about it.

    Or you can post questions and concerns on the net. It’s up to you.

    sven: You wanted a clue and I gave you one. Why would I investigate my own clue?

    Left this comment over at Orly’s about The Donald’s latest birth certificate:

    * Only a “certification”, not a birth certificate.
    * Not a long form.
    * They had dot matrix printers in 1946???
    * Says “VOID” all over it.
    * “Date filed”, but no “date accepted”. Therefore never accepted, therefore invalid.
    * “Issued” in 2012?? Or 1912??? So either 66 years after his birth or 34 years before it, who is he kidding??
    * No seal.
    * What do the three asterisks after his name mean? Is this an abstract of some kind of amended BC, e.g. reflecting a name change?
    * Doesn’t even state where he was born. Only remotely relevant info is “Borough: Queens”, but it doesn’t say that he was born there (could be where his birth was registered).
    * We need to see the original microfilm to determine if the “certificate” number is in sequence.
    * Does not properly identify his parents. If the Donald ran for President, how would he prove his parents were citizens when he was born? He could just dig up any citizen named “Fred C. Trump” and claim that was his father. Where are the parents’ birth dates, birth places and residence?
    Oh god is this bad.

    I wonder if birthers will apply the same scrutiny to the Donald’s BC as they did to Obama’s. I fully expect them to ignore it, or go “he’s not running for President” or whatnot…

    Rickey: Orly still hasn’t figured out that when an application for a stay is denied and then re-filed with another Justice, it is SOP to refer it to the full court unless the second Justice decides to grant the stay. By my count this is the fourth time she has gone down this road with SCOTUS, and we all know how the other three turned out (she also had a petition denied in Farrar v. Obama, but she never re-filed that one).

    In OrlyWorld a routine action by SCOTUS becomes an OMG moment.

    On this, I suspect she does know and is using it to push her own cause and PR, much like Kreep and Irion before her.

    She’s been crying wolf (or, in her case, “I’ve won!”) in just about every case now.
    It’s birther propaganda 101, prepping their followers for another round of “they really wanted to agree with me, but Obama got to them”.

    Reality Check: Where do I sign up? Impeach da bastid

    Hi R/C. There’s a blog I regularly monitor (described here previously as a “conspiracist hellhole” with which I would have to agree), that has posted video from a Ben Swann/ Fox 19 anchor (Cincinnati) who runs a segment called Reality Check. Apparently Mr. Swann got them all hot and bothered about Benghazi. You don’t seem to be a frothing conspiracist, so is it safe to assume you are not that same person?

    OK, now that I’ve typed that, I feel stupid. Oh what the hell, I’ll hit “submit” anyway… 🙂

    Trump Threatens To Sue Bill Maher Over Birth Certificate Offer (VIDEO)

    Real estate mogul and America’s best-known birther Donald Trump on Wednesday threatened to sue Bill Maher if the liberal political satirist doesn’t make good on a nationally televised offer.

    Appearing on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” on Monday, Maher jokingly pledged to donate $5 million to a charity of Trump’s choice if the reality television star could proivde a birth certificate to prove he isn’t the “spawn of his mother having sex with an orangutan.” Trump said he’s provided the documentation, and he expects Maher to pay up.

    “The other night on Jay Leno’s show, he made an absolute offer, I made an absolute acceptance, I sent him documentation and he owes me $5 million, which I am going to give to charity,” Trump told “Extra.” “Let’s see what happens, and if he doesn’t pay the money we’ll probably sue him.”

    wouldn’t trump have to undergo DNA testing to PROVE he isn’t the “spawn of his mother having sex with an orangutan.”

    If it ever comes to court, Maher will simply say it was an obvious joke poking fun at Trump’s birferism.

    If the offer was an obvious jest, it was not a legal offer. No one really believes Trump is 50% monkey and, very important this one, a birth certificate can never establish paternity anyway. Of course paternity can be proven by DNA tests, and Trump does not even need his parents’ DNA to prove he is 100% human (perhaps with a sprinkle of Neanderthal, like most dumb blondes). But there is the rub: Maher specifically asked for a birth certificate.

    There is no real contract between the two parties either, so Trump cannot accuse Maher
    of fraud.

    All of this is old hat. Google Leonard versus Pepsico.

    Oh, there are many people that the wingnuts would like to frog-march into the dungeon, not just Senator Feinstein. I don’t know what drugs these characters are on, but they are now claiming that, not only did Obama orchestrate the mass murder of little children in CT (“false flag operation”), but the United Way was in on it, too. And if you think the death of a gun manufacturer in a one-car ‘accident’ was just a coincidence, they’ll tell you that YOU’RE the crazy one.

    http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/2013/01/10/prominent-rifle-manufacturer-killed-in-mysterious-car-crash-days-after-posting-psych-drug-link-to-school-shooters/

    The United Way angle is a result of one o’ these geniuses doing a Google search and finding origin dates for condolence Web pages that pre-date the Newtown tragedy (U.W. wasn’t the only culprit, of course). Never mind that Google searches are known to yield inaccurate dates for when Web pages first appear. No, no, no, they alone are the keepers of the Constitutional flame and we are all the gullible idiots.

    If birthers and conspiracists would edumicate themselves a little about modern technology – like, say, the difference between a scanned document and one created with word processing software, how Google searches work, and oh I don’t know HOW TO QUOTE PREVIOUS COMMENTS WITHOUT BREAKING THEIR ‘H’ KEYS – we could probably avoid a lot of headaches associated with reading their high-octane bullsh–.

    donna: The petition, which claims that Feinstein’s recent push for a renewed assault weapons ban makes her guilty of “treason to the Constitution,” has received attention in right-wing blog circles

    I went to Lowe’s last night, looking for fasteners (I am building an entertainment center).

    They were out of wingnuts. Plenty of bolts, and screws to put them on, but no wingnuts.

    Somebody bought up all the wingnuts!

    True story.

    If you do a google search for “Sandy Hook United Way” using the search tools and asking only for pages published between December 5th and December 6th 2009 (no kidding) you will see that the texts are there already.

    Look at the following page which Google finds:
    http://www.towleroad.com/2009/12/episcopal-church-elects-first-openly-lesbian-bishop.html

    You will notice that there is a date that page, but that it also has dynamic text, ads which are targeting specific people. In my case, they advertised typically Belgian things. One of them a credit card that did not exist before 2011. (In case some nutter would think it was planned in 2009).

    Many of the other pages that google finds are .php files, rather than .html. Dynamic content, where google finds the text of the search in part of the page that has been changed but then either finds a date in the main part of the page or the name of the php file has the same as one that was accessed in December 2009.

    I noticed that the shorter the period you specify, the bigger the chance that you will get only “wrong” date pages. Because lots of people are now searching for that bit of text at a date before the massacre, the Google databases may be full of cached versions, Cal it google-bombed?
