Obama Birth Certificate Kooks in Court

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/12/09/obama-birth-certificate-k_n_149651.html

Mike Madden chronicles in Salon a day spent watching the people who believe President-Elect Barack Obama isn't a natural born citizen because of gamma rays emanating from internet porn. It's a story to be delighted in and savored. It's the incredibly true tale of "dentist-slash-lawyers" and manic-depression and multiple violations of Godwin's Law and the "press conference" they held at the National Press Club.

I mean, this is straight bonkers, y'all:

Throughout the press conference, the conspiracy theorists had trouble keeping things focused. Harlem minister James David Manning wandered off on a tangent about how Obama's election still means "there's never been a black womb" that produced a president. Manning might have seemed like he was making a case against Obama based on some theory of black nationalism, except that he admitted he had endorsed John McCain in the campaign. That was after he had called Obama "this usurper, this long-legged mack daddy."


Taitz -- the lead attorney in the case the Supreme Court declined to hear Monday morning -- kept making stranger and stranger assertions. At one point, she asked why the government had fined broadcasters for Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction," but didn't intervene to force the media to report on Obama's allegedly phony birth certificate. She claimed Obama holds passports from at least four countries, compared him to Black Panther leader Eldridge Cleaver, equated the "controversy" about Obama to Watergate, and finished her tour-de-force presentation by saying that if Obama can claim he's a U.S. citizen and win an election, then so could just about anyone. "If a person can become a presidential candidate only based on his own statement," she said, "then somebody like Osama bin Laden, theoretically, can come and write a statement, 'I'm eligible,' and we should put him on the ballot, too?"

Here's the article in Salon referenced:

:rofl:

why couldn't they just dismissed it for what it was.

There is no reason to think that they spent any real time on the case. The fact that they have to do it over and over is a function of the fact that different plaintiffs in different states have brought cases and each one has a right to ask the SCOTUS for review when they get shot down in the state court where the case originated. It doesn't take much time for the Court to decide not to take these cases, but there is no mechanism for preventing litigants with sepearate cases for asking the court to review their case (nor should we want there to be such a mechanism).

In America, we strive to rule by law, not by prejudice. Every fool gets his fair hearing.

You wouldn't like it any other way.

I'd rather see the lawyers get the money than the repuke party.

to play in our very own 9/11 forum.

Yay!

Or are those government shills?

If the powers that be here at DU gave us a forum to discuss these Cult of the COLB idiots like Berg, Martin, et al.

:scared:.............:yoiks:

BTW my dad was a dentist so I associate all dentists as he lol

Let's hope they don't see this story. Talk about a nightmare. Can't you just see it?

Taitz: So, who did you vote for?

Patient: Obama.

Taitz: Driiiiiiiiiiiiiilllllllllllllllllllllllll.

:rofl:

until a judge slaps a contempt of court on their asses, for wasting the court's time. These frivolous lawsuits are for the purpose of keeping the base fired up, and donating. Also has the purpose of undermining the legitimacy of the Obama administration.

Until the court says enough, and hit them in the wallet. They will continue.

I kind of thought they were all kind of pinkish and goopy? At least that's what I saw when my kids were born, are black wombs different? Gotta love the whackjobs, what a boring world it would be if it wasn't for the unmedicated insane.

:smoke: :crazy:

Please not that there are no Palm trees, pineapples or hula girls in this photo (the "Hawaii" t-shirt could easily be a tourist souvenir), and Mr. Obama is clearly holding a cricket bat...

cough.

LOL

Oh man, that picture KILLS me. :rofl:

you have no idea how bad I needed it.

Thank you

Thank you

And more thank you.

How starved for signatures to your dumb@ss petition do you have to be to have something like this all up in the damn MIDDLE of your web site??!!

"April 4th, 1960: Barack Hussein Obama is born in a secret Masonic chapel beneath the streets of Paris. With genetic material scraped from the shroud of Turin and eggs stolen from an unconscious Marilyn Monroe, Obama is carried to term in the womb of a mysterious three headed dog, ancient beyond man’s ken. For the first few months of his life he is raised by a shadowy cabal of ancient knights and professional baccart players, who program him with the knowledge he will need to one day destroy America."

"Summer 1961: An infant Obama is secretly taken to Hawaii on a submarine powered by free energy."

"September 1983: As part of his spiritual training, and to please his cruel lord Crom, Obama buries thousands of Atari ET cartridges in the desert."

Oh the hilarity!!!! Ow, my sides!! :rofl: :rofl:

:rofl:

I can't stop laughing

Salon got something wrong, Taitz (who's both an attorney and a dentist) is the attorney in two cases, Alan Keyes' case, and another one just rejected by the California courts and already promised to be appealed to the SCOTUS.

She's also calling for, quote: "the need to sanction the media for their indicensy in manipulating and twisting the truth about Obama's lack of eligibility."

She's not wrapped very tightly, claiming "50 million slient supporters"

And following their own logic, read this LOL comment by blaksocal:

George Washington, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson also weren't born in the United States. They were British citizens at birth. Hence Jefferson is disqualified from being President. Thus his Louisiana Purchase was illegal. Which means Louisiana, Arkansas and Missouri are not part of the United States. Therefore neither Harry Truman nor Bill Clinton were US-born. Truman signed the treaties ending World War 2, which means that is invalid and the USA is officially still at war with Germany and Japan.:scared:
