In today's dispatches, the Pest and eFail publishes......wait for it......whiney letters!! Gary Stevens does a complete and total history fail. Dr. Kate is ginning up the troops and thinks that elected officials are required to resign if she says so.
The Pest and eFail plays Neo-Confederate games, while NESARA seems to think Obama wasn't really sworn in after all. Dean Haskins adds a persistent drip to his birtherpoolza while coming up with a new idea that would be considered immature by a six-year old.
And last but not least, Lawrence Sellin pens a piece of work that bears some echos to the work of another right-wing zealot who ended up in the news recently.
22 July - In keeping with the Pest and eFail's brave tradition of whiney letters:
"It’s closing in on three years since Congress knowingly allowed an ineligible candidate on the ballot and, without objection, to be elected the putative president of the U.S.A. The insanity that overtook slightly more than half the voters also consumed the common sense and logical thinking ability of our elected officials and mainstream media."
Translation - "Wahhh! The scary black man won!!"
"Evidence that Obama is a criminal with a very poorly-forged long-form birth certificate is filed with the FBI and ignored, along with evidence he is using a stolen Social Security number that could not have been issued to him."
Why? Well, the fact that the "evidence" comes from a batch of crackpots and conspiracy nutters might have something to do with that,
"You have a clear choice: speak out and uphold your oath to the Constitution and become an American hero, or continue to remain silent on the only issue that matters, the criminal imposter in the White House. If Obama somehow steals the 2012 election and usurps a second term, this issue isn’t going away. "
Translation - "Wahh, the scary black man might win a second term!!"
22 July - And another whiney letter, this one to FBI director Robert Mueller.
"I want to tell you that the most dangerous threats facing our nation is BARACK OBAMA!
He has posed as our President but in fact he is nothing but a foreign-born, alien, Imposter!
FRAUD
Article II, Section 1, clause 5 of the Constitution:
‘To be eligible for the office of President, a person must be a ‘natural-born citizen’.
(Both parents need to have been citizens of the U.S.) His father was born in Kenya and a British subject. Obama has produced a long form birth certificate that was a ‘proven forgery’. Testimonies and evidence has been produced confirming this, in Jerome Corsi’s book that Obama was also born in Kenya therefore was NEVER ELIGIBLE TO RUN FOR THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
I charge Obama with FRAUD as well as TREASON!
He is NOT MY PRESIDENT!
Nancy J. Battle…’..A PROUD PATRIOT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!’"
Citing a known liar, quoting debunked conspiracies, and all caps. Yeah, that will impress the FBI........
23 July - At the Pest and eFail, Gary Stevens falls back on the classic lies.
"Less than 24 hours into office, the putative President of the United States, Barry Soetero (aka Barack Obama), signed Executive Order #13489.
Filed on January 23, 2009 at 8:45 a.m., the occupant of the Oval office sealed his records containing past names, student status, foreign travels, passport information, Selective Service registration and all educational transcripts. The historical footprint of Barry Soetero (his last legal name since adoption) was wiped away in the swoosh signature of a pen on a document prepared by Robert Bauer. No fanfare. No major media paid attention. For the first time in the Republic’s history an unknown, undocumented, and non-vetted candidate took the highest office of the land. Through the cheers, the tears, and the exuberance of those who voted for this unknown mystery, many failed to note what really happened."
Yeah, because what really happened was that Obama rolled back the even more restrictive policies of GW Bush, and signed into law an Order word-for-word identical to Executive Order 12667, signed by Ronald Reagan. Plus, it only covers Presidential records, not records from before one took office.
"Why has there NOT been discovery allowed in every court case filed regarding Barry’s real ID?"
Because none of the plaintiffs had standing or factual evidence.
"Why is the FBI NOT investigating the now-proven fraudulent birth certificate?"
Because nobody credible has come forth to make said claim.
"Why is Congress NOT interested in the fraudulent use of Barry’s Social Security number?"
Because the SSA has said no fraudulent use by Obama took place??
"Why is the only person who peeked into the passport records of Barry shot dead?"
Oh THAT old chestnut again.
"Why is it okay to have seventy (70) known documented National Socialist members in Congress?"
WHAT??? Did he just claim that 70 members of Congress were Nazis??
Well, there was that far-right lie that:
"The Socialist Party of America announced in their October 2009 newsletter that 70 Congressional democrats currently belong to their caucus."
Problem is the "Socialist Party of America" hasn't existed in 38 years, and they were never "national socialists".
History - FAIL.
"The coup d’etat from January 21, 2009 continues."
"Wahhh The uppity darkie is STILL THERE!!!"
23 July - Dr. Kate's magic water must have formed the words "sedition" today/
"...all of the politicians who refuse to address Obama’s lack of eligibility belong to the political class that destroyed the first American republic. They should be removed/recalled from office and none should be allowed to run for any office. "
O RLY???
"But the political class has been exposed during this time, and we see they have nowhere else to go but to oppress, disarm, threaten, terrorize, bankrupt, and jail Americans. And they are doing a pretty good job of it as they sift through blogs and isolate individuals to harass."
*Chuckle* Someone feeling paranoid??
"Several recent articles describe the acute need for Americans to act now to save our country…and readers here are certainly in agreement. A legitimate discussion point, however, is what is the long term plan for transitioning to constitutional governance, to what will effectively be a Second American Republic?"
Well, first you would have to actually get people outside your echo chambers to take your claims seriously.
"The members of the Tea Party caucus should immediately cancel all budgetary talks and demand that this issue of gun running and using American Tax dollars in violation of international law is resolved completely including charges brought against all involved in every agency including the trespassers in the White House. Short of that , the Governors of all 50 states should demand that their State Guard immediately seize control of all federal buildings and agencies with in the borders of their states. And they should immediately terminate all contact with the District of Columbia,. They should further demand under threat of arrest all House and Senate members that they return to their respective states until further notice. Washington DC is out of control. We are in a state of Constitutional War with our own federal government."
Oooh, seditionberries!!!
"When and where do we begin? How do we all lead?"
How indeed.....
"drkate
July 23, 2011 at 5:11 pm
We should not wait to begin this thought process…people will demand to see how we can get to a new republic. I remind all the pols that they are required to stand down as they have perjured their oaths."
"Required to" on the say-so of a conspiracy-minded fruitcake who believes water has memory and spews racism on a regular basis?? I don't think so.
23 July - Because it worked so well the last time it was tried, the Pest and eFail wonders if states can secede.
"Today, there is a degenerative ideological struggle for the very soul of our nation, both political and cultural.
"
Yes, it's between those in the reality-based community, and idiots.
"But, take heart. This in no way preordains a bloody clash of arms for these “united States” to peacefully and satisfactorily readjust to this tectonic ideological divide. "
Note the lower case "u". I smell Sovereign Citizen.....
"Though the War of Secession in 1861-1865, erroneously described by revisionist historians as the “Civil War,” seemed to have put an end to the notion that the several states “are and of right ought to be free” of unconstitutional constraints on their liberties by their co-equal partners in union, nullifying or otherwise repudiating federal overreach have become as commonplace today as they were before the War of Secession, aka War of Northern Aggression."
I'm smelling Neo-Confederate as well.
"Also, for years, high-minded Northerners actively and illegally aided and abetted slave revolts in the South which resulted in murders, rapes and no small amount of property damage. Of fundamental importance too is the fact that the wealthier North which relied upon a captive Southern market to sustain its prosperity was averse to allowing the South to peacefully withdraw from an increasingly unproductive and economically onerous union with the North. Thus, though reluctant to make the break, the South, feeling itself victimized and bereft of reasonable options, could no longer rationally justify its remaining in the union at any cost. "
Wow. Some major revisionist history there. And yeah, I think it's safe to say someone is a Neo-Confederate.
23 July - From the nutcases at NESARA, a new claim that Obama was never sworn in as Commander in Chief.....
"Remember during the swearing-in ceremony, Obama did not recite, and Roberts as the administering official did not execute, the 35-word oath of office exactly as prescribed by the United States Constitution."
Yes, and Roberts corrected his mistake the next day. Not that it was required, because at 12:01pm on 20 January 2009, Obama became President under US law and the US Constitution. The oath is a formality.
"According to the major Intel Agencies, Obama was never sworn in as Commander in Chief of the USA because the Pentagon had a ruling from the US Supreme Court demanding that they obey the Law which meant that Obama could not fulfill the Constitutional Position of Commander."
Riiiiigggggghhhhht.
"Accordingly the Naval Code Law was respected and George W. Bush remained as the sworn Commander of all American Military Forces. That is true to this day. Why it's obvious, have you seen any change in American Foreign Military Policy. Obama just keeps it a secret from Americans. After all Obama is not an American Citizen.That is why they had to flub the swearing in ceremony in order to cover the truth up."
I'm surprised you didn't pull your groin by stretching so hard.
24 July - And another whiney letter.
"Mr. Cassidy, I am growing increasingly angry at you and your cohorts on the Hill who have decided that Barack H. Obama is above the law. "
Yep, "Wahh, the scary black man is still president!!"
"He has posted a forged birth certificate on a government website. Not one expert has come forth to declare this document genuine"
Except for, you know, the State of Hawaii.......
"Every law, every executive order (many of which have circumvented Congress), Obamacare, two Supreme Court Justices, all Czars, the Gulf Oil moratorium (I know it has been lifted but this administration is not interested in issuing new drilling permits) would be declared null and void if Obama is found to be ineligible."
Ah yes, the "I want a do-over for 2008" crowd.
"Can you unequivocally state you didn’t look the other way while our country is/was being systematically destroyed by a man who couldn’t pass a background check to work at a McDonald’s, much less be the 44th POTUS?"
That's rather....condescending,
24 July - Dean Haskins adds a well known drip to his birtherpoolza, namely Sam Sewell.
24 July - In what has to be one of the more childish things I've seen a birther do, Dean Haskins comes up with the "fogblow initiative"
"By now, most of us are fully aware of a group of Obama operatives that congregate at a website forum called "The Fogbow.""
Yes. And they have a pretty good track record of being right the majority of the time. Haskins was kicked off of that board for threatening other members, a TOS violation.
"Dr. Jerome Corsi has been doing a stellar job outing these shills for the Obama White House"
By which he means "Corsi has published random crap from questionable sources."
"Once these parasites find any such comments, they start their overt mission of annihilation, using every dirty trick they know."
Dirty tricks like "Facts", "Common sense", "the Law", "the Constitution", and "Reality".
"They either recite blatant disinformation by purposely misinterpreting constitutional law and court decisions, or they simply mock and ridicule until the commenters tire of the dialog and just give up."
Haskins has a bad habit of when he gets out of a birther hothouse or echo chamber, he deposits his usual birther nuggets upon the public, expecting the same adoring response he gets from other birthers. What happens instead is he gets his ass handed to him over and over again until he runs away. At which point he tells his fellow birthers how wonderful he was.
"When an operative tries to hijack a thread in which you have presented facts, do NOT engage them in a dialog! Simply respond with one word: "FOGBLOW!" And, then type the following URL: www.fogblow.com. That response will signify the following:
1. You recognize that person is an agent of misinformation
2. You know that the bulk of that person's information is based on lies and misrepresentations
3. You will stand by the truth regardless of what they say
4. You will not waste your time on them"
More like:
1. "Wahhh, that person has the facts on his side!!"
2. "Wahhh, that person won't let me get away with my usual lies and claims!!!"
3. "Wahhh, that person is CHALLENGING ME!!! They're demanding I prove what I'm saying!!!"
4. "WAHHHH!!!! MOMMMY!!! MAKE THE NASTY BAD DEBUNKER GO AWAY!!!!"
Seriously, what Haskin's is doing is pretty much the same thing as a child sticking their fingers in their ears and going "LALALALALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!! LALALALA!!!"
"We have only eight months to organize our army, and that's really not that long, folks."
Brave military talk from someone who never served.
"We are instituting a symbolic "Birther Draft," for we believe this will be the only way to enlist sufficient numbers to descend upon Washington to let our elected officials know that we mean business"
A "birther draft"??? The only "birther draft" I can think of is the one between their ears.
"If you believe you might be able to fulfill an officer's role in this army, by working to enlist every soldier possible to be at the event March 29, 2012"
More toy soldier talk.
"We know we are legion"
Funny how the birther rallies never seem to show it though.
25 July - Sharon Rondeau posts that her father has passed away.
I would like to publicly express my condolences to her and her family for their loss.
25 July - Lawrence Sellin is talking tough in his latest treasonberry
"When this episode in the American saga is written, historians will note that Barack Obama did not kill the Democratic Party; he was merely the murder weapon.
He represents the Democrats’ suicide cocktail of hubris and a tyrannical lust for power, the arrogance of thinking themselves above the law.
American politicians and journalists have degenerated so far that it is now possible for a President of the United States to present a clearly forged document on national television and no one blinks an eye."
Funny how the State of Hawaii disagrees with the "clearly forged" part.
"There is now only the most tenuous of threads, if that at all, connecting the American people to the present government. The people are ready to rebel."
O RLY?? And what people might that be, since the majority of Americans don't buy into your little birther delusions?
"The truth about Obama’s birth certificate will soon be disclosed. That will be followed by a flood of revelations about his past, which will send political shock waves throughout the nation.
The American people will then take out their vengeance on the political establishment and the main stream media. We will demand justice and the truth."
"......any day now.......any day now.......any day now.......any day now......"
"The Democratic Party will collapse and its leaders will be tried and sent to prison. Many Republicans will follow them."
For what? The crime of accepting a democratically elected President??
"A new political movement will be required to drain the cesspool that is now Washington, D.C.
No more socialism, multiculturalism and political correctness."
Funny, I seem to recall someone over the weekend speaking out very forcefully against multiculturalism. Guy by the name of Anders Behring Breivik. You might have heard about him.
Actually Sellin is sounding a LOT like Breivik's rant. (PDF)
"Obama threatened: “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,”
I say: “go ahead, make my day."
Oooooh, how very threaty.
And in comments:
"At some point TPTB will determine that O's re-election is in doubt and that the heat on his eligibility is too much to handle. Shortly after he accepts the nomination, BO will either be "removed" or suffer some health issue which precludes him from running. Waiting in the wings is Hillary to save the day.
All the socialist proglodytes will be salivating at the opportunity to once again make history. This will energize the base to turn out in numbers to reverse the Repuke gains made in '10. TPTB will be happy to restart the timer in that they will potentially have the next 8 years sewn up versus only BO's remaining term.
With BO gone and the Lizard Queen (another Alinsky admirer) installed on the throne, anyone continuing to question BO's eligiblity will be mocked and ridiculed. After all, that's behind us and it's time to "Move On".

Ever notice how fixated the far-right is on Hillary Clinton? The PUMAs may see her as their shining warrior goddess, but the far right sees her as Lilith personified.
"If this fake president has committed so many crimes against the country he promised to serve, why not get the army involved and kick them out before he is finished recruiting his army, for then it might be too late for that plan he announced in his 2008 campaign!

"...Unlike these Rebellions in the Middle East and Europe. The American People are armed to the teeth and will not hesitate to respond to Tyranny in a furious display of armed contact with the Illegal Regime once hostilities begin. Also in play is how our own Military will react when confronted by their own Brothers and Sisters who are determined to remain free Men and Women.Even at the risk of their own lives if it comes to that.
I suspect that if it comes to this scenario , many of the Military will break ranks and join the American People in this struggle to remain Free. This spells the perfect storm for those that now hold power. If pushed to this point the American People will not deal kindly with those in Power and in the Media that have perpetrated these grievous acts upon us.Perhaps those in Government that still have a hint of love for God and Country left should now search their hearts and act in behalf of the American People before the Dogs of War are unleashed against them.If they chose to ignore the demands for Justice then so be it.
Godspeed.

"The judges say they won't listen to any case because you have to prove that it has caused injury to someone. I say high blood pressure, depression, insomnia, nervousness, nausea and headaches. these are ways in which he has hurt me, how about you? What has obummer being there done to you???

CAN'T YOU HEAR THOSE HORRIBLE KENYAN DRUMS!!!!!"
It's going to be a lot of fun the next few months. Birther Summit has a Facebook page that has gained a new member as of today bringing the total to 193. When I read what Haskin's wrote on how to respond to people with facts, I thought it was quite childish. But then, most birfers are childish.
Somehow today, I ended up going to Conservapedia to check out what they had for a definition of Natural Born Citizen and they have the two citizen parents definition. Since that is run by Andrew Schlafly and he's big into home schooling, it is highly likely that is how most home schooled children are taught when it comes down to civics classes.

Every notice how these quasi-military types all just HAVE to be officers? Who the heck do they think is going to follow their orders when der Tag finally arrives? Sheesh.
(although in all fairness, none of them appear to have what it takes to lead a starving platoon to the mess hall).

Has anyone confirmed that Breivik was a Freeper? I've seen it mentioned but haven't seen solid proof yet.
Posted by: Obsolete | July 25, 2011 at 08:05 PM
My heartfelt condolences also go out to Sharon Rondeau on the loss of her father. I read what she wrote at the link you provided and it was a very moving story.
This may be the only time I ever have a chance to agree with her on anything, but I understand her position on honoring her father's Living Will and it is always hard to see families get torn apart by stuff like this. I've been through something similar when my Grandmother passed.
I get disgusted by so much of what Birthers say that it is refreshing to see some humanity outside of the crazy Birtherism nonsense being expressed, even when it is over such a personal and painful topic, such as the loss of a beloved father. May he rest in peace and may Sharon's family find a way to heal and pull together in honor of his memory.

I did find that Phyllis Schlafly said the same in a 2004 article about the Amicus Brief that the Eagle Forum submitted in Hamdi v. Rumsfeld. The issues was more on "birthright citizenship," but, if I recall, SCOTUS did not accept her interpretation.

Posted by: Northland10 | July 27, 2011 at 03:41 AM
I should clarify my above post, in fairness to the Eagle Forum:
1. She only said "citizens" not both parents are citizens. Since Obama mother was a citizen, that may apply in Phyllis's thinking.
2. She was making a point about "illegal" immigrants and birthright citizenship. Obama's father was here legally and under jurisdiction while he was here (I would argue that "illegals" are also under jurisdiction).
3. The Eagle Forum does not appear to have involved itself in any way, nor made any statements regarding eligibility and the President. Why would that be?
