What is really the story with Orly Taitz?
I find this woman fascinating on so many levels. Despite the fact that the high pitched Russian accent is similar to the one some of my now deceased immigrant relatives had, I have never in my life heard anything like it.

I am have to admit that I am really interested in what makes this woman tick, from a psychological and sociological interest. There has to be something behind her motivation in addition to racism, stupidity, and being a nut job.

She apparently passed the bar exam in California, but I wonder how she scored on the Constitutional Law sections.

1. She said Obama is not a citizen cause his dad wasn't
That proves she can't pass 5th grade civics, not to mention constitutional law.

7. She reminds me of a Russian woman I worked with once -
Edited on Mon Aug-03-09 06:51 PM by Avalux
this woman was trained as a medical doctor but could not practice here in the states. That didn't prevent her from using the "Dr." title and acting as if she was an authority on everything even though she did very little actual work. She simply believed, being Russian born and somewhat attractive, she was better than all the mutts in the this country and it was her privilege to order everyone around. She HATED hispanics and blacks and was very vocal about it. There are a few others too who weren't as extreme as this one, but they all have that purebred mentality.

My exposure to educated Russian women has not given me a good impression of them.

13. I'll tell you who she reminded me of....
A man that's had a sex change operation. One who had Tammy Faye Baker as his inspiration.

8. You mean, besides being nuttier than squirrel shit?
Oily Taint is barking mad. I'm not sure she needs any motivation beyond being racist, stupid and insane.

12. here are some excerpts from an amusing article.
Edited on Mon Aug-03-09 07:02 PM by notadmblnd
the bold is mine.

After Roberts gave his talk, he took questions from the audience. Taitz, in her black, turtleneck sweater and gold pendant, was the first person at the microphone. She explained that she was a lawyer who had come all the way from Southern California. She asked Roberts whether he was “aware of some illegal activity that is going on in the Supreme Court of the United States,” and then mentioned that she had printed out a petition with hundreds of thousands of signatures asking for an investigation into the fact that “Barack Hussein Obama, a.k.a. Barry Soetoro, is totally ineligible to be president.” Audience members chuckled as she was interrupted by Roberts—“Thank you very much, ma’am”—and told that she could hand her suitcase full of documents to the security personnel in the room.


* * *
Outside the Santa Ana Courthouse in April, the day that disgraced ex-sheriff Mike Carona was to be sentenced for witness tampering, Taitz met with the Orange County press corps. The journalists had assembled to cover the ruling, but they instead found themselves being addressed by a woman with blond hair, long eyelashes, a low-cut blouse and hands full of binders........ Taitz smiled and pontificated in her Eastern European accent about the clerks of the Supreme Court whom she believed had been sabotaging her lawsuits..

* * *
There’s a term some use for people like Taitz, and she doesn’t like it. It’s “birther”—or, if you want to be really mean, “birfer.” (The controversy was born on the Internet, so naturally the Internet gave it a goofy name.) While rumors about Obama’s background and citizenship simmered throughout the 2008 presidential campaign, after Election Day, those rumors coalesced into a near-religion for a group of true believers. To Taitz and the unknown number of people who agree with her, Barack Obama isn’t president and probably wasn’t even born in the U.S. Taitz, a Laguna Niguel dentist with a law degree from an online academy, has been awarded a few creative variations on the birther term: “The Queen Bee of Birferstan” is probably the best.

* * *
“That’s demeaning,” Taitz says. “I don’t call anybody names.”

This isn’t quite true. She calls Obama a “usurper” and an “arrogant jerk from Africa and Indonesia.” She called a judge an “idiot.” And she calls anyone who stands in her way an “Obama thug.” Taitz has built a sizable following on her blog; in the comments for each post at orlytaitzesq.com, you can read a few more names for people whom Taitz doesn’t like: “traitors,” “Muslims,” “terrorists.”

The article goes on and on in hilarity.....

19. An incredibly tacky, inarticulate woman. Like Palin with a
blonde wig, and fake law degree.
