My Other Blogs
Off-topic, but I just noticed that we don’t have an active open thread.
The Twitter feed in the sidebar brings us news that the ” BREAKING: OBAMA COLLEGE RECORDS RELEASED” spam has risen from the dead again (Fess up: which one of you clowns stole the wooden stake for a campfire?), and the birfoons have forgotten it was debunked almost 5 years ago.
Although I’m not a fan of Adam Sandler, we need to get him to make a new movie about the problems of dealing with birfers, called “50 First Debates”.
Those Freepers are hilarious. An obvious, widely debunked April Fool’s Joke from 2009 generates 139 responses in four hours on a Sunday afternoon. I guess that they really do live in the basements of their parents.
BR has a story where Joel Gilbert says he shared some of his evidence with the CCP and Zullo.
http://www.birtherreport.com/2014/01/filmmaker-talks-sheriff-joe-obama-fraud-case.html
Please dear God let that be the March surprise.
Birther I’m not a racist moment on twitter. I was talking about some birther memes and a few birthers start shifting to Obama’s policies. One guy gets mad saying “Get a rope”. I’m like “Get a rope?” He then replies with “yes get a rope, It’s a southern thing”. I reply with: “You do know lynching has racial connotations”. I then get accused of playing the race card.
The other day I had a (possibly non-birther) guy on Breitbart who bemoaned how racist it is that he isn’t allowed to use the N-word on black people. A birther being racist (while claiming “I’m not racist”) is a “dog bites man” story. 😉
I think he just tries to get another 15 minutes of fame, given that birthers seem to be generally fine with all the “I got sekrit everdintz, I’m soooo special” talk.
In general, the “the real stuff is secret, but it will be the conspiracy’s undoing, I tell you!” is usually one of the last stages of a conspiracy theory. But then again I thought birtherism had already gone there with the 2010 (?) claims of how SCOTUS had already ruled Obama ineligible and was just waiting a couple of months for the right moment to release the verdict…
I will laugh if that’s their big surprise. I swear that the CCP operates on some kind of delay. Most of their “new information” is at least 6 months old in birtherstan. I still run into birthers pushing the law license claim. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the next turd the CCP drops or that Obama sealed his records by executive order.
Two things I have noticed in ‘discussions’ with Obama opponents.
a) The constant complaint that they are called racists because they oppose Obama or his policies- but in my observation they are usually only called racists when they make either racist statements or hold Obama to an exclusively Obama(i.e. black) President standard.
b) And sadly, in the time it took me to type the above, I forgot what ‘b’ is….:)
I disagree with that assessment: my sample size isn’t great,because I don’t visit ORYR as much since being banned, but I’m sure I see far more “about-to/already-did give up on Zullo for his inaction” postings than “I’m looking forward to March” ones. I’m even seeing some “Zullo has been intimidated/co-opted” ones.
This is definitely the last hurrah for the Little Corporal: when people realize he’s handed them yet another bouquet of balloons filled with nonjudicable hot air, he’ll be lucky if none of them try to literally lynch him.
Fuddy’s death ruled an accident by the police.
Which will not stop birthers in the slightest.
Health Director Loretta Fuddy died of cardiac arrhythmia
http://www.staradvertiser.com/news/breaking/20140113_Health_Director_Loretta_Fuddy_died_of_cardiac_arrhythimia.html?id=240014161&mobile=true
Thanks for that link. I always thought that her death likely was heart-related. The stress of the crash and then floating in choppy waters had to be extremely stressful, and Keith Yamamoto said that he was trying to get her to calm down while they were in the water.
Of course this isn’t likely to shut up the birthers who believe that everything is part of a conspiracy.
Under birther logic that settles it… She was murdered… Why else would they announce otherwise?…
Expect Orly to add to our entertainment in Hawaii…
Of course he was: he needed her to keep still so he could get off a good shot with the Sup3r S3kr1t CIA Heart Attack Gun.
Which, it goes without saying, they’ll never find, because it dissolves in salt water…
I suppose it was “… and also they claim *Obama* is the racist (against whites, against blacks, against Israel etc.)”.
Just had a shufti at BR’s latest stories. They’re in full on “If we make something up, then believe hard enough, it’ll come true! It really will”-mode! I think the lack of progress is really getting to them.
Well, in true truther fashion, they now show that they aren’t just experts in Constitutional law, forensic document analysis and witchcraft, but also in plane engine design, medicine and general crackpottery. True Renaissance idiots. 😉
I’m just waiting for Orly to yell “People had worse experiences in my dental chair and didn’t die, so why did Fuddy?”.
Steve Stockman has learned that tickling the lunatic fringe of the Republican Party, e.g., the birthers, is not good for fundraising: “GOP Super PAC Switches Support From Stockman To Cornyn”
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/gop-super-pac-switches-support-from-stockman-to-cornyn
Stockman failed again? Man the Shredder will NOT be pleased!
Birther Donald Trump: “50/50” chance he’ll run for governor of New York. 😯
http://www.newshounds.us/van_susteren_hypes_trump_s_latest_phony_candidacy_01112014
100% chance he would lose.
Don’t tell me – he has yet another TV show to promote?
Birther and former comedian Victoria Jackson is considering a political campaign. Story at Wonkette (where else?).
Doc thanks for sharing some of the Birther idiocy with us- normally I don’t go to Birther websites, no more than I go walking through sewer tunnels but Elizabeth…..wow
True, this impostor [Barack Obama] will not step down willingly, but if he is given the option of taking his arrest without force, and if he rebels, then he should be informed that it will be with force.
What does this mean? It means that the high ranking officers, the Army Provost Marshall and/or the Sergeant in Arms, all confront and remove him in handcuffs. It means that he is read his rights, that he is informed that his criminal acts have been proven, that a court of law awaits him, and sentencing will be handed down accordingly.
— Elizabeth
And of course that is just one of her many posts all looking for one ‘honest’ general or whoever to go into the White House and arrest Obama because well Elizabeth is nuts and thinks Obama should be arrested for everything from being a Marxist who wants to impose Sharia law and because Obama goes on vacation.
These people are insane or despicable and sometimes both.
I am debating with a stupid birther who claims that the short-form certification of live birth of Hawaii is NOT accepted by the US State Department for issuing passports. I have pointed out that it has been the only BC issued by Hawaii since 2001 and that thousands of people have gotten their passports with it. I was asked “Name one.” Okay, can anyone give me the name of someone (or better still a couple or a few people) whom they know who used a short form Hawaii BC to get a US passport?
Please.
Doc,
You once linked an article about various ways to go about changing the mind of someone holding false beliefs (it had a handy reference chart regarding the most effective means). I would like to use that link in a conversation on another blog, but can’t find it—can you help?
Thanks.
Hi Ellen
I just happened to go looking for some evidence and came across your posts in “Westernjournalism”-
I applaud you for your civility and politeness in dealing with those foul mouthed psychos as they immediately attack you for presenting facts.

Ellen, why are you here? Is this part-time job a requirement to be on welfare in Detroit?
and this gem
barry obama aka barry soetoro was never given the name barrack hussien obama he started using this after he came back from pakistan where he renewed his passport in 1976( i believe i got the date right,he went with a friend)and to meet up with his mother..this change in name is what got his law liscense revoked for fruad..he applied to princeton under a foriegn visa..if this were a republican he would never have gotten elected,if he did get elected he would have been impeached,so why are the rules different for a socialist democrat? i know alot about barry soetoro through the information i found before his records were sealed at tax payer cost..this man is a fraud and needs to be deported as a illigal immigrant,why u may ask,its because his mother left america and never came back not even to see her son,she had more to do with the other children she had but pawned barry off..hmmm

You lying evil wretched witch
Wow. I count 26 fallacious opinions, mistaken statements and errors of fact in this paragraph. This must be a very advanced birther to have such a high falsehood density.
just tell them to contact any passport office and ask “will you accept a 2007 HI certified COLB as proof of birth”. if they say they did and the answer was “no” ask them which office they contacted.
…… that has always killed the debate when i’ve used it.
Well, I could name relatives in Hawaii …. but I don’t think they would appreciate it. Here’s some food for your birfers’ …. ummm … thought: The State Dept’s requirements as to what constitutes an “acceptable” BC for use in a passport application:
Evidence of U.S. Citizenship
You must submit one of the following original documents as primary evidence of U.S. citizenship (photocopies are not acceptable):
Does Hawaii’s COLB pass? Easily.
Ironically, if I were starting a passport app from scratch, the BC my parent’s rec’d when I was born (you know, the one the birfers would say is my “real” / “original” one) would not pass. (Not that I would want to send it to the State Dept anyway!) So, I would need to get a fresh certification, and, if I were living in HI, that would be a COLB.
This has got to be some nefarious Obama plot to make Republicans appear insane and hand Democrats the 2014 elections. 😉 The amount of foot-gunnery is amazing (shows time and again Republicans were ill-advised not to clearly denounce birtherism from the beginning).
It’s amazing how birthers still believe the California (?) bar is the only entity that couldn’t be coerced into complying with the Almighty Usurper’s demands. Except that they could because they will not confirm that Obama’s license was “revoked”, let alone “for fraud”. One of the best examples for cognitive dissonance (here: believing in two mutually exclusive things within the same statement).
Illinois.
Hi JPotter, and others. I don’t think I have to name names, and I wouldn’t anyway. But, I do believe it is evidence to say that JPotter, or others, have x number of relatives who live in Honolulu, or Maui or a mix of places, and all of them used the short-form Hawaii BC to get US passports. Can anyone help?
Hi: BatGuano:
Thanks for “just tell them to contact any passport office and ask “will you accept a 2007 HI certified COLB as proof of birth”. if they say they did and the answer was “no” ask them which office they contacted.”
But I do think I should supply the evidence and not ask them to check.
Once again, any friends or relatives in Hawaii, without giving names but giving a little address information and other background to make the information real, who have used Hawaii short-form BCs to get US passports? Please.
The burden of proof is on the people claiming a COLB is not accepted as proof of birth. It’s also much easier to prove since you just need to ask a passport office – “Will that be enough?” – “No”. – instead of having to bring somebody who was accepted with all his paperwork to prove the birther wrong.
Huh? How would “a little address information” somehow “make the information real”, and how little is “little”? Your thought process is touching birther territory in convolution (Convolutedness? Convolutivity? My English is failing me today.)
Come again?
Re: “The burden of proof is on the people claiming a COLB is not accepted as proof of birth.”
Good point. But I want to be active, not passive.
Re: “Huh? How would “a little address information” somehow “make the information real”,
I believe it is called “verisimilitude.” Of course it could be false as verisimilitude in good novels is not factual, but still, it helps.
Does anyone have any people who have received US passports with their Hawaii short form birth certificates?
Please.
Hawaii isn’t the only state that issues short forms now. In fact Arizona also has switched to short forms and no longer issues long form birth certificates to anyone born after 1989. This mean anyone over the age of 18 right now wouldn’t be able to get a long form in Arizona. The state of NY also uses a short form that contains even less information on it than the short form in hawaii.
just had to share this irony meter explosion:
“One of the most effective tactics of the leftist, socialist, communist crowd is to name-call. They learned a long time ago that you can marginalize your “opponent” by re-labeling them with a “nasty name.”

Gallups continues to lack self-awareness.
Gallups went on to say “That’s the problem with these useless Liberal sub-human walking pieces of filth… they don’t understand polite discourse. All those violent hate-filled scum-sucking dirt-bags can do is call people names. They should all be rounded up and shot like the animals they are.”
Well, I can’t help you out with that one, other than to offer the same information JPotter did about the State Department’s requirements for birth certificates, but while I was looking just now I was reminded of this little bit of gratuitous birther slime:
http://passportsusa.com/example-birth-certificates-for-your-passport/
I’d nominate “passport expert” James Coats for inclusion in the “Birthers From A to Z” list.
(Corsi) Tea Partier: Hitler Escaped
Corsi’s latest hypothesis, detailed in his new book Hunting Hitler, is that the German dictator didn’t actually kill himself alongside wife Eva Braun in his Berlin bunker as history books would have us believe. According to Corsi, Hitler actually escaped Germany as the Third Reich fell, and he did it with the help of none other than the U.S. government.
it ends with: But if the facts have never hindered Corsi’s zeal, neither have they interfered with his success. His two most popular books, Unfit for Command and The Obama Nation, have been faulted for multiple inaccuracies. But both books were New York Times best sellers.
How and where Hitler’s life ultimately ended is a question worth exploring, and it’s certainly an entertaining conspiracy theory. But for a reasonable—believable–explanation of Hitler’s alleged escape, Corsi is probably not the most reliable source.
http://news.yahoo.com/tea-party-author-hitler-escaped-104500583–politics.html
Yeah, the last time I saw “The Obama Nation” for sale was at the 99 Cents Only Store.
Irony aside, is it effective?
I received my passport with a New York short form birth certificate. As has been pointed out, it contains less information that the Hawaii short form birth certificate.
Looks like it’s off to SCOTUS for Doug Vogt. 9th Circuit killed his case a couple days ago. Link to docket https://ia601003.us.archive.org/22/items/gov.uscourts.ca9.13-74137/gov.uscourts.ca9.13-74137.docket.html
You can’t really tell with birthers, since they nearly all came to the party “pre-marginalized”…
If your target audience lunatic-fringers (like birthers, neandercons or Communists), who think (and I use the word loosely) in stereotypes and bumper-stickers, name-calling can be very effective. Just ring the epithet bell, and their Pavlovian responses will take over.
It’s not nearly so effective when addressing a thoughtful audience, but labelling an opponent a “frothing loon” can sometimes persuade thoughtful type to run a rabies test before trying to engage said loon in serious debate. More of a “time-saver” than a “weapon”.
Geeez. The least The Round One could do is serve up some fresh, original nuttiness for our entertainment. It’s all rehash with that guy.
And, speaking of “frothing loons”, Orly is now suggesting that her real goal is prevent Obama from committing another Holocaust: http://www.orlytaitzesq.com/?p=445250
Note the astonishing way she still misinterprets the SSA’s previous reponses. The courts need to start insisting on a DNA test to prove she’s actually human before conceding that she has standing…
How many runs at SCOTUS will this make for Sibley? This is Vogt’s first attempt at the Supreme Round File (I think). So nice of Sibs to take his new friend to new places! Maybe Vogt will reciprocate by referring some of Sibley’s swill to the FBI!
The SCOTUS docket shows 52 cases filed by Sibley, and I believe that he has lost all of them. A number of them were part of his longstanding harassment of his ex-wife, Barbara Sibley. He also represented D.C. Madam Deborah Jean Palfrey, but he lost that case as well, and Palfrey committed suicide rather than go to prison.
At least it’s more intriguing than the question whether Elvis is still alive (or at least lived longer than 1977) or if Paul McCartney is dead.
Professor Bruttenholm: “1958: the Occult Wars finally come to an end with the death of Adolf Hitler.”
John Myers: “1945, you mean. Hitler died in ’45.”
Professor Bruttenholm: [amused] “Did he now?” (Hellboy)
NBC’s blog reports that Doug Vogt’s appeal has been denied:
http://nativeborncitizen.wordpress.com/2014/01/17/wa-in-re-vogt-vogt-wins-a-motion/
Didn’t Kerchner get in trouble in regards to abuse of his wife also?
That’s very funny. Vogt filed a motion to expedite the ruling on his petition, and the next day the court granted his motion and denied his petition.
The court also locked the door and threw away the key: “No further filings will be entertained in this closed case. DENIED.”
I believe that you’re thinking of Walt Fitzpatrick. I understand that he has been served with several orders of protection over the years
For a little fun, give this article at The Truth is Viral blog a look see:

Rickey said:
“I received my passport with a New York short form birth certificate. As has been pointed out, it contains less information that the Hawaii short form birth certificate.”
Many thanks. I’ll use that. Still hoping that someone from Hawaii can add their Hawaii short forms or those of folks that they know that got US passports.
Thanks again.
Long form birth certificates are becoming extinct. Nowadays, birth registration consists of a secure transaction between a hospital medical records system and a state vital records system. There isn’t any paper form.
Why does it actually matter? You’re basically legitimizing their position when they have yet to show that their position is legit in the first place.
Doc, you obviously had second thoughts about something you reported about a ex-general and birther. Your choice. So I will only share this – what I found following the link you had provided – by “veteran investigative journalist Bob Powell”:

PLEASE CONTRIBUTE TO BOBBY’S DEFENSE FUND!
On Thursday, January 9th 2014, I was with my son Adam, his girlfriend, and their son – my grandson – Jaiden Daniel, when a situation arose that caused me to fear for my life and the lives of the three children who were with me. I reacted to the situation as I believe that any responsible person would and addressed that threat. As a result of my perfectly reasonable actions I was arrested by the Michigan State Patrol and charged with Simple Assault and Brandishing a Firearm; both misdemeanors. I was able to bail myself out about 4 hours later.
I wish I could be more forthcoming about the circumstances of my arrest, and indeed I will as soon as the case has been adjudicated; but for now I hope that you will believe me when I say that I did what any reasonable person would do to ensure the safety of my children from an imminent threat.
I have retained the services of an attorney, but before he enters his appearance on my behalf he wants a $2,000 retainer which must be paid this week so he can prepare for my arraignment on the 22nd of January. My bail and the cost of having my truck hauled from the scene and impounded wiped me out financially. So once again I turn to you, my TTiV family, for help.
Please click the Paypal button to donate whatever you can afford, whatever you will not miss, to my defense fund.

GIVE MONEY !!
I noticed that, too. I was wondering whether the “situation” involved a 6-foot-tall invisible Communist rabbit named “Harvey Alinsky”. But I suppose they would’ve held him for psychiatric evaluation if that were the case.
Interesting that he got charged with misdemeanors: even here in gun-crazy AZ, home of the unlicensed concealed carry law, if you introduce a gun into a confrontation where it’s not legally justified, it’s always a felony.
Just went back to that crazy Bob Powell and what did I see ?
He features PPSIMMONS alias Carl Gallups :

Birtherstan is a small country. They are all cousins.
Wow that is a whole lot of crazy- one excerpt of his writings- which include no less than mind control, satan worship and Washington’s monument being a phallus
The purpose of the paper was to set forth a doctrine intended to control populations of varying sizes, from entire countries to unruly mobs, by instilling them with a never-ending and overwhelming sense of fear. And this was 34 years ago. Since then technology has advanced sufficiently so that ideas, suggestions, and even “voices” can be beamed into the head of a victim using microwaves and other types of radiation; true beam weapons that can instill in the victim and overwhelming sense of dread, confusion, and despair. Watch this video, sent to this reporter by Patriot News Network host Kathy Rubio, to learn more about “Mindwar.”
In this episode of The Truth Is Viral, Publisher and Editor-in-Chief Bobby Powell speaks with talk show hosts Kathy Rubio and Zeeda Andrews (from the Patriots Ride for the Constitution) about information they have received from militia leaders that had planned to attend this event, patriots that are finding out too late that they have been lied to.
Rubio and Andrews claim that information they have received from military sources as well as members of various militias indicates that Vallely’s march to reclaim the Republic is ultimately intended to be a sacrifice to Satan, the blood of patriots meant to stain his altar, the area between the Washington Monument and the Capitol rotunda. These monuments were built to represent the erect phallus of Osiris (aka Apollo, Appolyon, Antichrist,) and the ever pregnant belly of Isis by the Masonic architects that laid out the nation’s capital in accordance with the ancient Egyptian “Mystery Religion.”
Would someone with access to Adobe Illustrator please take a look at the National Archives’ PDF of the Constitution at http://media.nara.gov/congress/00303.pdf (warning: 16Meg download) and tell me whether it contains “layers”? I can see from looking at the metadata that it contains multiple objects, but I’m not sure whether Illustrator will show them as “layers”.
I’m wondering whether the March Surprise will be Corporal Zullo announcing that the entire United States government is “fraudulent”. Thus freeing the birthers to stage their planned “revolution” and/or secede into their own little (altered) States. 😉
I got my passport in 2007 with a short form Hawai’ian BC. I was born in the Territory of Hawai’i.
I don’t want to have to prove anything to anyone, though. Just, now you know someone who did.
Dear Kate520.
Many thanks.

Re: “Why does it actually matter? You’re basically legitimizing their position when they have yet to show that their position is legit in the first place.”
I’ve had the advice to ignore the birthers before. Yes, they are merely a fringe group like “truthers” and landing-on-the-moon deniers and members of the Flat Earth Society, but when there is an opportunity to present the facts on birther sites, I think anti-birthers should take it. If we can crush even one of the ongoing sets of stupidities, we should.
Since this is the open thread and the best place for such a suggestion, when President Obama gets to the end of his second term, will there be an Obot campaign medal issued?
Only if we issue it ourselves.
I did a Google image search for “birther” and found quite a few political cartoons that I hadn’t seen
Here’s a good example.

More useful would be a monument to the folly of birtherism, full of personal memorials to those ensnared and the prices paid. Another of JPotter’s aphorism is that “bullsh*t breeds in a vacuum” … delusions like these, manifestations of denial and ideology, are too quickly swept under the rug, allowing the next to develop and fester, as if it was something new, there were no precedents, and there are no relevant cautionary tales. In reality, it’s the same old bullsh*t, sames causes, same harms.
Okay, I had’t seen this one before:

“The secret that would destroy the presidency of the first African American to be elected to The White House is that he is not really African American at all. He is in fact not fully human. He is actually one quarter Cheshire cat.”
Some time ago I was going to claim that I could probably pass the California Bar Exam just from the knowledge that I picked up reading here. I decided against, and it now turns out for good reason.
I visited the Judge Judy website today for a bit of amusement, and found she had some crossword puzzles to play with. I failed them miserably.
But wait, is it possible that Judge Judy’s crossword puzzles are actually the California Bar Exam? That would explain everything!!! I’m sure I could have aced those puzzles had I used an open book, and I bet even Dr. Taitz Esq. (can’t forget the Esq.) could handle that.
I am stunned to have discovered her ‘secret’. Anybody know a good lecture tour agent?
To be more compatible with mobile devices, I am doing away with drop-down menus. This also reduces the page size and load times (a little).
I seem to be having a problem with my home computer’s browser. For some reason this site loads as a single page now instead of in the normal two column format. Don’t know what the issue is.
The site uses adaptive formatting, and if the browser window is too narrow, it will drop the number of columns. If widening the browser window doesn’t fix it, I don’t have any ideas except clearing the browser cache, or re-installing Windows.
just seen the video released by ppsimmons on their youtube channel regarding dr fuddy’s death.
seems their `expert’ is a dr grace….sounds like the name is `woto’ [Vouto. Doc.]
her opinion is that cardiac arrythmia wouldn’t cause the`”veins to block”…that’s reassuring as i don’t seem to remember anyone saying dr fuddy’s veins were blocked.
they seem to be doing their best to make light of the incident and make out that being on an aircraft which ditches in the sea after losing it’s engine power, getting out into colder water than the ambient teperature in a lifejacket, then bobbing around waiting to be rescued from waters where sharks are known to hunt is some kind of relaxing stroll in the park.
they even claim that dr fuddy was filmed `smiling and laughing’ as she exited the plane…..funny, but i seem to have missed that bit.
anothe claim was that dr fuddy certified the president’s BC, but it’s well known that alvin onaka was responsible for that as he is the state registrar.
things are getting so desperate in birferstan!
Okay I reset my browser settings in chrome to defaults and it fixed it
Vuoto isn’t a medical doctor she has a degree in History so her comments on Fuddy’s medical state are from a layman. Vuoto has been on Gallups show many times she’s a birther.
I have remedied her omission from the Birthers A to Z list. I came across her last October from an article on a faux news site The World Tribune. She’s a Cold Case Posse fan.
Fuddy’s arrhythmia most likely was ventricular fibrillation. Ventricular fibrillation is an erratic, disorganized firing of impulses from the ventricles. The ventricles quiver and are unable to contract or pump blood to the body. This is a medical emergency that must be treated with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation as soon as possible. It can be triggered by intense stress.
It has nothing to due with blocking veins. Vuoto, who isn’t a doctor, is confusing Sudden Cardiac Death with a heart attack.
I’m not a doctor either, but my father was.
Interesting little article I came across…
http://www.cnn.com/2014/01/19/us/lawyer-suicides/index.html?hpt=hp_bn1
” Lawyers ranked fourth when the proportion of suicides in that profession is compared to suicides in all other occupations in the study population (adjusted for age).They come right behind dentists, pharmacists and physicians.”
Taitz has a double-whammy against her…maybe time for Yosi to intervene? Unless, of course, that’s what he’s hoping for! 😆
Gabe Zolna still hasn’t been added. I think it’s relevant as Gabe has a starring role in the “We the People TV” site.
Added.
Well, it does provide for both sides of the fence: we can laugh at the footgunnery and they have prepared an excuse for why the turnout was (going to have been had – see Dr Dan Streetmentioner for the correct tense) so utterly low – again.
I’ve added a new item to the Features page, Case Finder
I don’t know a lot about finding cases, but I have gathered some resources, and will be looking for more.
http://www.obamaconspiracy.org/case-finder/
The FindLaw page I included has state-by-state links, and I won’t intentionally duplicate their content.
One of the stupider things I’ve heard today by birthers besides Loretta Fuddy just buying a house.

They now claim Mohammed Subud is Obama’s father
Nevermind he was born in 1901 and died in the 80s. He would have been 60 years old when Obama was born.
RWNJ and birther fluffer, Rep. Steve Stockman, appears to be AWOL from Congress:
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/steve-stockman-missing
It’s all over Birther Report and they’re just absolutely sure this is Zullo’s universe shattering information.
Any day now.
Maybe Stockman went to Cairo so he could sneak down to Kenya and pick up a souvenir copy of the POSKFBC to show at the hearing he’s going to call any day now.
So? Many people father children at 60. That’s not the real WTF about this latest theory.
Interesting since it has zero bearing on eligibility.
Interesting because it doesn’t mean the BC was forged, or that Obama had any knowledge of that.
Interesting because it would not end his presidency (given that the new alleged father is not the Communist boogeyman or black radical they tried to invent with their FMD/Malcolm X stories).
Interesting because it shows for how little they are willing to settle now, especially in relation to “universe-shattering”.
Prediction for a what-if world where this theory was correct: people would pause to wonder, then go on with their lives. Issa would hold hearings that come up empty. Birthers would be fuming the usurper is not removed. Zullo would claim he’s still got more stuff that will catch up on the universe shattering. Any day now…
First, birthers flirted with the notion that Malcolm X looked like Obama and so must be his father. Then they noted a resemblance between the president and Frank Marshall Davis. Now this Subud fellow has become their père du mois. What will next month bring . . . the earthing-shattering news that Obama is the love child of Angela Davis and Joe Arpaio?
Sheriff Joe Arpaio Considering A Run For Governor Of Arizona
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/01/23/joe-arpaio-governor-_n_4652851.html
A couple thoughts from a former resident of Sandland:
First, Arpaio will be 84 years old in 2016 and this trial balloon has been flown so many times it is getting a little raggedy.
Second, getting elected statewide is a lot different than getting elected in Maricopa County.
Third, his approval rating have been eroding precipitously in the last couple years. Here is the most recent data from the most reliable Arizona poll:
http://www.brcpolls.com/13/RMP%202013-III-07.pdf
Those numbers are for Maricopa County, his home county. I suspect they are even worse in Pima, the second most populous county after Maricopa.
Also notice that most of his 2013 donations came from out of state. Arizonans know him too well to give him their hard earned money.
I figured it was just a little more rectal wind to keep a diehard bigot’s flimsy ego balloon aloft.
Depends on the candidate and the opposition: Maricopa County still has 60% of the state’s population. If he hadn’t pissed away his overwhelming dominance there, he’d have an excellent shot just by adding the mostly-pro-Joe rural vote to that base.
As things stand, though, he’d be a Palin-like gift to the Democrats: he’d obliterate any moderate oppostion in the rabidly-right GOP primary, improving the chances for a centrist similar to Napolitano.
And to keep the donations rolling into his campaign fund.
It is my recollection that if he doesn’t run he can convert that money to his personal use. I my be wrong but I think I recall an Arizona politico doing that a few years ago.
I put my money on him not running but continuing to accept donations right up to the last nanosecond.
No opinion in the McInnish case from Alabama this week.
Well, the Super Bowl is next weekend, so they should be done with their handicapping and betting next week, and free to move on to less important matters. With luck, they’ll be able to get to it before they have to start working on their March Madness brackets…
Funny money indictments are starting to sprout…
Obama Hating Conspiracy Theorist Dinesh D’Souza Indicted On Campaign Finance Charges
What I love about that news, is that it has birthers in full panic mode. Its fun watching them squirm.
So apparently Subway is partnering with Michelle Obama to help promote children eating healthier. Naturally birthers and other RWNJs are swearing off Subway, as they hate the Obamas so much. That said I’m hoping that the Obamas release a statement lauding computer technology and the internet in general, as everyone with ODS will be sure to never go online, or near a computer ever again.
And why stop there! The first lady should issue a statement celebrating living.
