Christian Science Monitor: Birther leader Orly Taitz implodes on MSNBC
08.03.09

Maybe today was the tipping point. The point where finally the birther movement starts to lose its steam.

And it may not even be because of the outcry directed at CNN’s Lou Dobbs for giving the birther crowd an air of legitimacy. And no matter how many high-profile conservatives criticize the group questioning Obama’s citizenry, it hasn’t slowed them down.

After all, Ann Coulter won’t give them any support. She’s calling ‘em “cranks”. Don’t look to FOX News host Bill O’Reilly. He doesn’t care. Further, he compares them to 9/11 conspiracists. Michelle Malkin has no time for it.

But it keeps growing. Like a mutation. In fact, it went into overdrive this weekend with the release of a supposedly newly found alleged birth certificate showing President Obama’s birthplace to be Mombasa, Kenya.

No need to antagonize, belittle, or bully to get a reaction. Shuster instead relied on an even more sinister media trick — he asked a question.

All he wanted to know was if President Obama was born elsewhere why were there birth announcements in both Honolulu newspapers. “How could these birth certificates have been fabricated 48 years before President Obama possibly took office? How would they have that foresight to know that?” he asked.

6. Point in dispute--she NEVER took a breath, nor ever has that I've seen. Otherwise,
that recount is dead-to-rights.

7. When even the csmoniter posts a video intitled
"Orly Taitz loses her damn mind on MSNBC" you've lost. LOL

The End.

Also, even if he had been born in Kenya, he would still be US citizen. I wonder how the freepers are dealing, anyone checked on them lately?

9. I went "there" and of course, "David Shyster" wouldn't let her answer....
and were "out to get her", etc..etc. Some did note she had a voice similar to chalk on a blackboard but all in all they loved her and thought she "really showed 'em."....Hahaha.
