President Obama Indicted At Birthers' Citizen Grand Juries (with video)
From Jason Linkins on HuffPo

The Washington Independent's Dave Weigel -- who, like a Jane Goodall of political madness, has logged many an hour studying the panicky paranoid fringe in its natural habitat -- highlights the latest "birther" craze: the formation of "citizen grand juries" devoted to exposing the truth that Barack Obama is not an American citizen. In other words, having failed to get any actual legal bodies to take an interest in this nonsense, these people are just making up their own! And possibly meeting in tree forts or something! Who knows? It's called folie à plusieurs, people!

Anyway, here is a video of Carl Swensson, talking about the awesome pretend indictments that an ad hoc, Aaron Copland-inspired Star Chamber has handed down, accusing Barack Obama of fraud and treason! And he's standing in front of an actual courthouse, because WOO, GRAVITAS! Did you know that these citizen grand juries are operating in all sorts of states, too? Well, five states, so far. And more to come! They will keep on convening pretend grand juries and handing down ersatz indictments until either someone finally starts paying attention or until ... you know -- Obama has them all disappeared or something.

1. or until the money dries up
I think the folks in charge of the Birther movement are doing it for $$$$. As long as people are dumb enough to send them checks, they will continue to go through the motions.

7. Even the freepers are catching on to the fact that they are being used as an ATM by these nuts.
Saw a thread on there last week, and one poster was trying to urge the others to raise $2 million so that they could bribe Obama's half brother to request a copy of the BC. :crazy:

One of the comments said, "Why would Berg actually want to find the BC? How could he keep making money off of us?"

So, even those coginitive-dissidents are starting to smell a rat and realizing they have been fleeced!

15. Funny Idea
Organize a grand jury using their tools or show up with your Obama team from the election at one they are already holding, acquit Obama. Indict Cheney.

18. This is some sick, sad, PITIFUL sh*t
And of course this bastard would be standing in front of a courthouse in my home state of Georgia.

This would be funny if it didn't piss me off. There is no level -- NONE -- that racists will not sink to in an attempt to derail this president. The dumbest white man in the world could run against Obama and in their heads, he'd STILL be better than any black man. I am really starting to hate these people.
