As Seen On Texas TV! Birthermercial crap in Lubbock

Talking Points Memo 9/25/09
As Seen On TV! Birthermercial Asks, Where Was Obama Really Born?

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.

Complete with clip of the insanity.

Someone in in Lubbock, Texas reported it ran last night at around 12:30 a.m. on CBS affiliate KLBK.

2. Well, it IS Lubbock

All the people I know from Lubbock are pretty smart-but they left
"Lubbock or leave it"

4. Hey no Texas city bashing!

Remember Lubbock professors at Texas Tech protested hiring Alberto "torture boy" Gonzales. I know the "Lubbock or Leave It" is a lot like "Don't Mess With Texas" - there is Texas sized pride in there. Just saying.

Man it looks we're back to summer weather. Damn that was a short autumn in Austin.

7. $5 is good for a yard sign

But $30 for a bumper sticker reminds me of "a fool and his money is soon parted."

9. It was still there a few weeks ago

Nothing like plastering one's own stupidity on a billboard for all to see!
