First of all, SENATOR SHELDON WHITEHOUSE. You sir, and I say that with VAST qualification, are a SCOUNDREL and a BALD FACED LIAR. The people of your state will challenge you in 2012. Don't think, you smarmy RAT, that you will be forgotten. 2012 just gives us more time to prepare to oust you. This paragon of virtue put on his best TRIAL LAWYER'S FACE and spewed enough venom to wipe out a small city, saying that we AMERICAN CONSERVATIVES are desperate to `break' Barack Obama. No Senator, we are not desperate because Barry Hussein is breaking himself and he'll...

On the Sunday, December 20, syndicated Chris Matthews Show – during which the panel weighed in on who should be granted various dishonors for the year – Matthews seemed to lump conservatives like Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh in with what Matthews saw as "white tribalism" as he also fretted over the "birthers" who promote the fringe conspiracy theory that President Obama was not born in America. Matthews had notably expressed frustration about "white tribalism" being stirred up in America at the end of last week’s show. Matthews seemed to compare Glenn Beck and Limbaugh to swine flu as he...

Ben Smith has a great catch – the North Dakota Republican Party fronting its website with a joke about the White House party crashers demanding President Obama’s birth certificate. The news here is the steady mainstream Republican acceptance of a deeply nutty and quasi-treasonous conspiracy theory about whether the president of the United States is really an American citizen. Yes, it’s just a joke here. But when’s the last time a Democratic Party web site fronted a joke about, say, whether Sarah Palin is the real mother of Trig Palin? (She is, by the way.)

Sarah Palin. Need I say more? Buoyed by a ubiquitous autumn, she has cemented her status as a brand that excites and exasperates, titillates and polarizes. Sort of like Madonna. Jackson Browne, the singer-songwriter, once penned the lyric, "I don't care about Madonna/ Or the next thing she might do." The Republicans don't have that luxury. In the early jockeying for the 2012 presidential race, everything Palin does is potentially consequential. Nobody else in the GOP can touch her skills as a performance artist who plucks the requisite populist chords. The big question is whether it would be wise or...

I want to see Obama’s birth certificate – the full, long-form birth certificate. Not only do I want to see that – I want to see his college records, transcripts, thesis, and all that other garbage that has been mysteriously sealed. Have I gone off the deep end and joined the dark side? No. Not really. In all frankness, I think birtherism is a disgusting cancer on the Republican Party, the conservative movement, and especially the hugely influential Tea Party movement. I have seen more than enough evidence to convince me that Barack Hussein Obama Jr. is indeed eligible to...

A rumor that won’t die is the myth that Barack Obama’s birth certificate is fake. There are different theories on where Obama was born, if he was not born in Hawaii as he claims. A prevailing belief is that he was born in Kenya, and as a native Kenyan, is not eligible to be President of the United States. Some have also claimed that his full name includes the name “Mohammed,” adding to speculation that Obama is a secret Muslim. At this point, mountains of evidence are in and they all point to the fact that Barack Obama is a...

Writing about Sarah Palin in Newsweek last month, I pointed out the crude way in which she tried to Teflon-ize herself when allegations of weird political extremism were made against her. Thus, she had once gone to a Pat Buchanan rally wearing a pro-Buchanan button, but only because she thought it was the polite thing to do. She and her husband had both attended meetings of the Alaskan Independence Party—he as a member—but its name, she later tried to claim, only meant "independent." (The AIP is a straightforward secessionist party.) She didn't disbelieve all the evidence for evolution, only some...

Speaking to the conservative talker Rusty Humphries today, Sarah Palin left the door open to speculation about President Obama's birth certificate. "Would you make the birth certificate an issue if you ran?" she was asked (around 9 minutes into the video above). "I think the public rightfully is still making it an issue. I don't have a problem with that. I don't know if I would have to bother to make it an issue, because I think that members of the electorate still want answers," she replied. "Do you think it's a fair question to be looking at?" Humphries persisted....

At 7:45, your quote of the day. Something for (almost) everyone here: For the left, smoking-gun proof that she’s a fringe character, and for Birthers, smoking-gun proof that their concerns are mainstream. As for righties like me and Ed (and Glenn Beck) who think this particular science is well settled, tomorrow should be a fun media day. I wonder if she realized when she said this that it’ll follow her around from now on.

Let us assume for the moment that it became revealed that Barak Obama was not a natural born citizen of the United States, proving that he was ineligible to be President of the United States. Ok, now what? Would Obama be removed from office? Perhaps. Then what? Joseph Biden would be our next President. Ok, then what? Would the United States be freer? Would the States and the people regain their sovereignty stolen by the federal government? Would America’s form of government revert back to its original nature and character of 1787? Would self-government, the consent of the governed, limited...

The Birther movement is convinced that President Obama is not a natural-born citizen and hence is constitutionally prohibited from being President. Most Birthers claim that Obama was born in Kenya, while others think his birth occurred in Indonesia. Even though Obama has released a copy of his birth certificate showing that he was born on Oahu, these conspiracy theories continue to animate the fanatical right. What is most surprising about these conspiracy theories is the number of relatively mainstream people willing to associate themselves with the Birthers or at least recognize the issue as a legitimate controversy. One of CNN’s...

President Obama is in a fix over his country of birth. The President started to dig the hole as Senate candidate and now he is president, the hole is getting deeper and uglier, mainly because of his evasive actions. Many Democrat supporters are either ignoring the problem or are vehemently attacking "birthers" who question the President's eligibility. Republicans are not the only ones concerned about his eligibility. Libertarians, independents, constitutionalists and even democrats are wondering why Obama is fighting so hard to hide his origin. Unfortunately, Obama dug the hole himself, and like a hole created when a water main...

It’s been a little while since a good confrontation between a birther and a member of Congress, but here’s one from last week: a constituent of Rep. Scott Garrett (R-N.J.) asking his congressman why Republicans won’t do anything about the “eligibility issue.” It makes for awkward viewing, as Garrett’s staff clearly wants a change of subject from an audience that seems to be fine with pushing the question. At around 4:40 in the video, the congressman finally engages. “Obviously, there is no political solution to it,” says Garrett. “Even if the entire Republican Party was united on the issue–” He’s...

Congressman running for governor calls on president to produce birth certificate. It's the question that keeps poking its head up through piles of debunking documents: Is Barack Obama eligible to be president? U.S. Rep. Nathan Deal says Obama can dispel it with a birth certificate showing he's a U.S. native and therefore qualified for the White House. Deal, a Republican running for governor in 2010, called on Obama on Tuesday to "put the matter to rest ... and provide the documentary evidence." But two independent fact-checking groups and the state of Hawaii say he already has. Their conclusion: Obama was...

(Angus Reid Global Monitor) - Three-in-ten Americans think their current head of state was not born in the United States, according to a poll by Angus Reid Strategies. 70 per cent of respondents believe Barack Obama was born in the U.S., while 30 per cent do not. While only 13 per cent of Democratic Party supporters believe Obama was not born in the U.S., the proportion rises to 25 per cent among Independents and 51 per cent among Republican Party backers. In American elections, candidates require 270 votes in the Electoral College to win the White House. In November 2008,...

Many are STILL discussing the birth issue surrounding President Obama. This apparently is not going away, anytime soon. Received this email yesterday from the United States Justice Foundation, a non-profit organization. You will read some of the arguments made before this court, by the DOJ and the USJF. ******* From The Desk Of Gary G. Kreep, United States Justice Foundation. Barack Obama is sweating it out after his Department of Justice ("DOJ") attorneys walked into court expecting United States Federal District Court Judge David Carter to dismiss the birth certificate case. Why you ask? Simply because they "think" Obama is...

Late last week, Democratic-leaning pollster Stan Greenberg released a focus group study showing that conservative GOP base voters live in an alternative universe of their own political paranoia. In this world, President Obama is ruthlessly advancing a secret agenda to ruin -- yes, ruin -- the economy so he can impose socialism upon the United States and destroy the core civil liberties of American democracy. And in this covert crusade, Obama is no more than a frontman for unseen interests aiming to annihilate the United States. This dark view was propounded by die-hard right-wingers -- older, white Republican-base voters --...

Following my article last week on whether Barack Obama deserved to get the Nobel Peace Prize, my inbox was inundated with emails from American readers seeking to know whether I have proof that Obama was really born in Kenya. If he was born in Kenya, they theorise, he is therefore not entitled to claim American citizenship and the presidency of the United States. I could not help laughing at those emails, most displaying a naivete' and lack of understanding of this sentence from last week’s article: "It seems Barack Hussein Obama, President of the United States of America (via a...

Conspiracy theories have always been a favorite of extremists in America. The Birthers are people who question Obama's birth in Hawaii and claim that he is not a United States citizen. Have we reached a tipping point in the crescendo of accusations and outrageous labels flung at President Barack Obama? Were you shocked when you heard that someone had posted a survey on Facebook asking respondents, "Should Obama be killed?" The possible answers were: "No, Maybe, Yes and Yes if he cuts my health care." We cherish freedom of speech in the United States, guaranteed by the First Amendment to...

In case you don't know, after the terror attacks of 9/11/01, there were indeed a few Americans who honestly believed that the federal government was so corrupt that it was behind and responsible for the events of September 11. Even though we all watched in shock, as hijacked planes flew into the twin towers, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field, these folks imagined that someone in Washington DC might have blown up those buildings instead. Not that our federal government isn't capable of such things, mind you... but they are not likely to pull off such a thing without anyone...

America is well known as the land of conspiracy theorists, but President Barack Obama has endured more than his share of bizarre claims since he shot to public prominence, ideas that have spread rapidly via the intertet. The accusation by Andy Williams , the singer, that the newly-elected president of the free world was at heart a communist is one of the milder charges. Here are five more: 1. Radical Muslim Throughout the campaign and during his presidency, Barack Hussein Obama has been accused of being a Muslim. These rumours were based on his name, as well as the misinformation...

Let this post be fair warning… Leo Donofrio is now interested in the birth certificate….. http://naturalborncitizen.wordpress.com/2009/09/20/lets-prove-obama-was-born-in-hawaii-so-we-can-move-onto-his-british-birth/

http://lamecherry.blogspot.com/2009/09/orly-taitz-flock-shootin.html SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2009 Orly Taitz Flock Shootin' I have not dealt a great deal with the lawyers and their cases concerning Bearick Obama, as in analysis none of them have produced anything, and none of them has proceeded in ways which would set cases to leverage the exact Obama documents sought. It is like if you wanted a date with a person who was ignoring you. You don't keep after the person who says, "NO", you instead find another person who is interested to help you make the person envious. That is why I stated that tax cases...

It follows spot-on with the divorce decree time-line ... February, 1964. Stanley A. Dunham filed for Divorce Monday, Jan. 20th, 1964.

The divisions in America run deep at this moment in history, and the heated rhetoric is “ratcheted up” by the continual efforts to silence all voices of dissent, or label all dissenters “racists” no matter how unrelated to race or valid their complaints might be. Still, when listening to millions of citizens showing up at town hall meetings and Tea Parties across the country, liberal Democrats see a bunch of racists. That’s what all leftists have been trained to see... Take columnist and Fox News contributor Juan Williams for instance: “These critics seem less interested in arguing about health care...

I will be assisting one of my readers in filing litigation in Hawaii state circuit court pursuant to her ongoing request for public information denied by Hawaii officials. (Readers of my blog will recognize her as MissTickly aka TerriK.) Correspondence sent to TerriK by Hawaii officials indicates that President Obama’s vital records have been amended and official records pertaining thereto are maintained by the state of Hawaii.

COLUMBUS, GA (WTVM) - Attorney Orly Taitz filed a brief Thursday morning in Columbus' US District Court requesting for a stay of deployment pending her client's motion for a rehearing. This comes just one day after Judge Clay Land denied Captain Connie Rhodes' temporary restraining order, dismissed the entire case and ordered Rhodes to pay the defendant's court costs. Rhodes, a military doctor, is challenging deployment orders to Iraq based on allegations that the Commander in Chief is ineligible to hold the office of president. Rhodes maintains that President Barack Obama was born in Kenya and not Hawaii. "This is...

In a story that appears to have gone largely unnoticed on this big news weekend, John Charlton of The Post And Mail reported yesterday that the New Hampshire Secretary of State – at the request of a New Hampshire State Representative – will investigate whether fraud was involved with regard to Obama’s name appearing on the ballot in New Hampshire:

Excerpts: "Before the Court is Defendants’ Ex Parte Application for Limited Stay of Discovery (the "Motion"). The Court finds the Motion to be appropriate for decision without oral argument. FED. R. CIV. P. 78; Local Rule 7-15. After considering the moving and opposing papers thereon, and for the reasons set forth below, the Court hereby GRANTS Defendants’ Motion." *** "The Court hereby GRANTS Defendants’ Ex Parte Application for Limited Stay of Discovery. All discovery herein shall be stayed pending resolution of Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss, except for any discovery as to which Plaintiffs can demonstrate, to the satisfaction of Magistrate...

And you thought birtherism was just for hillbillies and Republicans! David Weigel heard Camille Paglia on NPR yesterday, where the author of Sexual Personae and UArts professor told a no doubt astonished latte-drinking audience that "there are legitimate questions about the documentation of Obama's birth certificate. I'm sorry, I've been following this closely from the start." Indeed she has; we noticed her railing on the topic as far back as November ("simple questions about the certificate were never resolved to my satisfaction"). Now that they've got a genuine intellectual on board, the birthers just need a popular entertainer to carry...

Orly Taitz Claims She Can Have President Obama "Out Of Office In 30 Days"September 14, 2009 2:00 pm ET A few quick snippets... Judge David Carter, Central District of California, ordered early discovery; Obama has 30 days to produce his records, including his hospital, birth certificate, name of doctor, and all of the signatures.

During a hearing in U.S. District Court Monday, an attorney for an Army officer fighting deployment to Iraq questioned Barack Obama’s legal right to serve as president, asserting he was born in Kenya, not Hawaii. Judge Clay Land, inquisitive throughout the 90-minute hearing, said he will issue a decision on Capt. Connie Rhodes’ request for a temporary restraining order by noon Wednesday. Rhodes was represented by Orly Taitz, a California lawyer and a national figure in the “birther” movement that claims Obama does not meet the qualifications to be president. California attorney Orly Taitz, the president of the Defend Our...

NH SECRETARY OF STATE AGREES TO INVESTIGATE Rep. Lawrence Rappaport, and his wife (Sept. 12, 2009) — New Hampshire State Representative, Lawrence M. Rappaport payed a visit to Mr. William Gardner, the NH Secretary of State, on Thursday, Sept. 10th. His stunning request: an investigation of Barack Hussein Obama’s presence on the NH 2008 Ballot. Gardner’s stunning response: an investigation will commence. I interviewed Mr. Rappaport by email, and asked him, on what basis did he make his complaint; he responded, “The basis for all of this is possible fraud. I don’t know what penalties will be assessed if fraud...

On September 9, 2009, a subpoena was issued by the District Court of the United States, 3rd Circuit, and has been served via registered mail (#RE184168898US) on the Consulate General of Kenya in Los Angeles.

A U.S. District Court hearing to determine if a Army captain fighting deployment to Afghanistan because of the challenged the legitimacy of Barack Obama’s presidency was rescheduled for Monday. Capt. Connie Rhodes filed the complaint last week and Judge Clay Land granted an emergency hearing Friday afternoon in the Columbus federal courthouse. Rhodes, a medical doctor who was with her unit in Fort Riley, Kan., did not attend the hearing. That prompted Land to reschedule it for noon Monday. Rhodes is scheduled to arrive at Fort Benning Saturday and deploy within seven days. Rhodes’ attorney Orly Taitz — a national...

Capt Rhodes states that she is willing to go to Iraq, as long as she knows that the orders going down the chain of command are lawful orders. We asked this case to be certified as...

A commentator at Canada Free Press says he has obtained copies of two documents apparently prepared by Democrats to certify Barack Obama as their nominee for president in 2008 that suggest House Speaker Nancy Pelosi knew there was an unresolved issue with his eligibility under the U.S. Constitution. Writer JB Williams describes himself as a "no nonsense commentator on American politics, American history, and American philosophy." And he say's he's gotten possession of copies of the documents in question.

I just talked to Orly: She has 2 good news items that she is very busy with right now: 1. Judge Carter is ‘giving her expedited discovery - immediately’. 2. Judge Land will allow her to present before the court in GA. She is leaving now to fly to GA to appear before Judge Land at the Federal Building in Columbus, GA at 2:00 pm tomorrow (Friday, 9/11/09). She would like as many military supporters to be there as possible. I called Carl Swensson (RiseUpForAmerica.com), and he will see what he can do. If you have any contacts there, please...

Aware of the fact that Barack Hussein Obama does NOT meet Article II – Section I constitutional requirements for the office of President, what well-seasoned professional politician would be stupid enough to sign their name and stake their personal career upon certifying Obama as eligible?

A few weeks back, I submitted a letter on Barack Obama’s eligibility (“Raise the question,” published Aug. 23). Most of the comments from other readers reflected the opinion that I was flat wrong. Sorry to tell you folks, but a young guy has come forward and has signed a court document stating that he has obtained a copy of Barry Soetoro’s original birth certificate. He traveled to Kenya and paid a guard who was guarding this document in cash so the guard would turn a blind eye while he made a copy. This young man will be in big trouble...

BORN IN THE USA? Shocker! Judge orders trial on eligibility issue Arguments planned Jan. 11 for major Obama challenge The left cries it's a forgery but cry is all it can do. Let's see... the embossed seal os a forgery, the court stamp is a forgery, the attending Doctor's signature is a forgery, the Supervisor of Obstetics id a forgery and the recorder's signature is a forgery and nattrally the footpront won't match Barack H.

SANTA ANA, Calif. – On Sept. 8, U.S. District Court Judge David O. Carter ordered a scheduling conference for Oct. 5, 2009, allowing the Obama eligibility case filed by Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq. on behalf Captain Pamela Barnett, Alan Keyes and others to proceed.

A federal hearing has been scheduled in the case of an Army captain seeking to avoid deployment based on arguments that President Barack Obama can’t legitimately hold office. A hearing for Capt. Connie Rhodes is set for 2 p.m. Friday, court records show. Rhodes claims the president is “an illegal usurper” and “an unlawful pretender” and that she cannot lawfully act under his authority. Defendants include Obama, U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Col. Thomas MacDonald, Fort Benning garrison commander. Rhodes seeks to stop Gates, MacDonald and others from giving her and others until Obama’s citizenship status is established, her...

Americans’ who do not believe President Obama is a U.S. citizen won a huge decision in California as a judge set three court dates, one of which will require the President to prove his citizenship. The case will be heard by U.S. District Judge David Carter in Southern California, it is the first time the merits of the President’s citizenship will be argued in open court. The first obstacle the plaintiffs will have to overcome is an October 5 motion to dismiss as well as the arguments on the issue of discovery. From there the plaintiffs will have to navigate...

A California judge today tentatively scheduled a trial for Jan. 26, 2010, for a case that challenges Barack Obama's eligibility to be president based on questions over his qualifications under the requirements of the U.S. Constitution. If the case actually goes to arguments before U.S. District Judge David Carter, it will be the first time the merits of the dispute have been argued in open court, according to one of the attorneys working on the issue. In a highly anticipated hearing today before Carter, several motions were heard, including a resolution to long-standing questions about whether attorney Orly Taitz properly...

In the late 1940s and early 1950s, despite clear evidence that Sen. Joe McCarthy was a drunk and a demagogue, many people blindly followed his lead, even when he accused President Dwight Eisenhower's administration of treason. I consider Eisenhower the best president of my lifetime, and before he entered the White House, he had taken on the gigantic task of leading the Allies to victory over Germany in World War II. During that same war, McCarthy forged documents to make it appear he saw combat he never saw, and wangled a Purple Heart for a boo-boo he actually sustained when...
