I hope Joy Behar will stick a fork in this annoying cretin.

Orly Taitz, queen of the “birther movement,” squares off with Joy. Taitz is one of the leaders of a movement that questions whether President Obama was born a citizen of the United States. Also, actress Alicia Silverstone, and in our political roundtable, “Wonder Woman” Lynda Carter and Republican strategist Leslie Sanchez. Tonight at 9 p.m. ET/PT on HLN.

Alicia Silverstone wrote a vegan cookbook. And, yes, it sounds kooky to have Wonder Woman in the political roundtable ... but listen to what
Lynda Carter said about
Sarah Palin last year:
http://www.afterellen.com/blog/dorothysnarker/wonder-woman-speaks-her-mindLast week, when asked offhandedly by Philadelphia Magazine what she thought of Palin being compared to her most-recognized character, Wonder Woman, the 57-year-old star pulled no punches:
"Don’t get me started. She’s the anti-Wonder Woman. She’s judgmental and dictatorial, telling people how they’ve got to live their lives. And a superior religious self-righteousness … that’s just not what Wonder Woman is about. Hilary Clinton is a lot more like Wonder Woman than Mrs. Palin. She did it all, didn’t she?"
But the daughter of Hippolyta wasn't done yet — not by a long shot.
"No one has the right to dictate, particularly in this country, to force your own personal views upon the populace — religious views. I think that is suppressive, oppressive, and anti-American. We are the loyal opposition. That’s the whole point of this country: freedom of speech, personal rights, personal freedom. Nor would Wonder Woman be the person to tell people how to live their lives. Worry about your own life! Worry about your own family! Don’t be telling me what I want to do with mine.
"I like John McCain. But this woman — it’s anathema to me what
stands for. I think America should be very afraid. Very afraid. Separation of church and state is the one thing the creators of the Constitution did agree on — that it wasn’t to be a religious government. People should feel free to speak their minds about religion but not dictate it or put it into law.
"What I don’t understand, honestly, is how anyone can even begin to say they know the mind of God. Who do they think they are? I think that’s ridiculous. I know what God is in my life. Now I am sure that she’s not all just that. But it’s enough to me. It’s enough for me to have a visceral reaction. And it makes me mad.
"People need to speak up. Doesn’t mean that I’m godless. Doesn’t mean that I am a murderer. What I hate is this demonization of everybody but one position. You’re un-American because you’re against the war. It’s such bullshit. Fear. It’s really such a finite way of thinking about God to think that your measly little mind can know the mind of God. It’s a very little God that way. I think that God’s bigger. I don’t presume to know his mind. Or her mind."
