As Seen On TV! Birthermercial Asks, Where Was Obama Really Born?
Edited on Fri Sep-25-09 06:05 PM by RamboLiberal
A new birther infomercial running on a CBS affiliate in Texas and elsewhere around the country tells viewers a "got a birth certificate?" bumper sticker can be theirs for the low price of $30.

The 28-minute program -- quite possibly the first ever birthermercial -- features community access production values, heavy use of foreboding strings soundtrack, and standard-issue Birther ideology.

For a $30 contribution, viewers also get a fax sent in their name to the 50 state attorneys general and Attorney General Eric Holder demanding that President Obama produce his real birth certificate.

One of the men behind the infomercial is attorney Gary Kreep, executive director of the Ramona, CA-based Birther group United States Justice Foundation. He told TPMmuckraker in an interview today that the initial buy was for two and half weeks at TV stations around the country, and he's now looking into a second round buy. He says he'll give us a list of stations playing the infomercial.

One of them is CBS affiliate KLBK in Lubbock, Texas. That's where Lubbock resident Jim Schermbeck saw the infomercial last night at around 12:30 a.m., after The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, he tells TPMmuckraker. A scheduler at the station confirmed to us that the infomercial is running, but the employee in charge of paid programming did not immediately return our calls.

IMHO I think TV stations need to be pressured to not run this piece of crap.

11. The irony....
Kreep filed Keyes first lawsuit, and brought in the then-unknown Orly Taitz as co-counsel.

To say he's pissed at her might be an understatement.

8. A local talk jock spearheaded a highway billboard like that
It went up today on Interstate 70 just west of Denver about 9 miles. The talk host said he figures that Obama was born in Hawaii. But now he's on this jag about how when Obama was about 2 or 3 weeks old, his mom moved to Seattle with him and lived there for over a year. And that the his mom never lived with his dad. Like that's a big deal.

I figure that Obama was told that his mom and dad lived together for a couple of years until his dad left. It was family lore and perhaps he believed it.

When they can't pin down his being born in Kenya, they have to find some insignificant nugget that fails to nullify his eligibility for the presidency.

If it's not one thing it will be another and another and another. At this point, they want the birth certificate long form, all the school records (to prove that he was a dual citizen in Indonesia and used that to gain admittance to colleges) and his writings while in school to prove god knows what.

The billboard is shown here in a local newspaper
