In today's dispatches, John Dummett and Van Irion try to do the "We won! We won!" dance around a party that hasn't existed in 112 years. Someone gets arrested for threatening Joe Arpaio over his birther flirty games, while Dr. Orly denounces Arpaio for giving the same credibility to her subpoenas that President Obama did.
Walter Fitzpatrick marks another trip around the sun. More media fall out from the Georgia Birther Ballot Jihad hearing. Several sources note that Dr. Orly may have been just a little bit legally dishonest in Hawaii. The Southern Legal Resource Center tries to cover up the fact that one of their board of directors just happens to be a birther attorney.
Sharon Rondeau and the Pest and eFail are still Gulag Bound, and she's got some new sources about Obama that I suspect are part of a balanced breakfast. Oh, and she seems to have pissed off their hosting company, so she wants birther bucks.
We have transcripts of the Georgia Birther Ballot Jihad hearing, along with the birtherpoolza spin on the hearing (short version, "Dr. Orly is an idiot and is making the birthers look bad") And Donald Trump may throw his undead weasel into the ring.
23 January - Remember how John Dummett did that "drive and dump" pathetic attempt at service against the Arizona Democratic Party (which the papers called the "National Democrat Party")
Well, not only are they claiming it was proper service, but they're now demanding a default judgement against the "National Democratic Party of the USA", Democratic National Committee, and Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
(Scribd link here)
"Pursuant to federal rules of civil procedure 55 the Plaintiffs move this Court for a default judgment against Defendant National Democratic Party of the USA and a permanent injunction prohibiting said Defendant, its subdivisions, employees, and agents from issuing any letters, certificates, or other document to any Secretary of State of any state, any agent thereof, or any other official of any state, indicating that Barack Obama is qualified to hold the office of President or that the Democratic Party has selected Mr. Obama as its Presidential candidate, or requesting that any state place the name of Mr. Obama on any ballot for the office of President of the United States for the 2012 general election. Grounds for this motion, as more fully set forth below, are that said Defendant was properly served with the summons and complaint issued by this Court, and said Defendant failed to respond."
But wait, you say. They did service upon a nonexistent group, and improperly as well. So how can they demand default judgement??
Simple. The same day they filed the request for a default judgement, they also filed a "Second Amended Class Action Complaint" that kinda sorted corrected the names.
Rather tacky actually. But typical birther sleazy. Remember Dr. Orly claiming default judgement after she repeatedly failed to do proper service against the Justice Department??
And, like Dr. Orly failed to understand, filing the amended complaint reset the clock.
The funny thing?? Well, case in point:
(Bold face mine)
"The Applicant requests an order prohibiting the Defendant National Democratic Party of the USA, any of its subdivisions, employees, or agents from issuing any letters, certificates, or other document to any Secretary of State of any state, any agent thereof, or any other official of any state, indicating that Mr. Obama is qualified to hold the office of President or that the Democratic Party has selected Mr. Obama as its Presidential candidate, or requesting that any state place the name of Mr. Obama on any ballot for the office of President of the United States for the 2012 general election."
They still used "National Democratic Party", which hasn't existed since 1900.
Van Irion should stick to losing "Confederate heritage" cases.
27 January - Oh dear. Dr. Orly has a mad because someone ignored her subpoena and didn't appear at the Georgia Birther Ballot Jihad. (Malware and redirect warning)
"ARPAIO FELT THAT TESTIFYING IN GA WAS TOO MUCH OF A “BURDEN”. REFUSED TO APPEAR
Posted on | January 27, 2012"
O RLY?? Well, I'm sure you'll ask the court for a contempt of court ruling, right??
"GA was a golden opportunity for Arpaio to testify, to provide his report. It gave him an opportunity to skip the step of DA or AG, who may or may not cooperate and be in front of the judge, who is willing to listen and hear the case on the merits. Arpaio blew this opportunity."
Are you surprised?? It was obvious Arpaio was playing the birthers for money.
"I sent Arpaio a subpoena. I called WND and related to their political editor Bob Unruh, that I finally have one judge willing to listen. I related, that Corsi or Farah want to testify -here is an opportunity. I also sent an e-mail to this extent. "
And isn't it funny that WND talked to Van Irion, Kreep, Donofrio, and Apuzzo about the hearing, but didn't talk to you……
"He gave 2 reasons: it is too much of a “burden” on him and the hearing is in GA and he is in AZ. I could go to a circuit judge in AZ and extend the jurisdiction to AZ and seek reciprocal enforcement, however I concluded, that it will be a waste of my time and money."
Funny, it wasn't a waste of time to try and do that in Hawaii.
"Arpaio’s unwillingness to testify tells me that:
a. he does not have any new evidence aside from what I provided him"
More accurate, "he does not have any evidence"
"b. I question how serious he is about removing Obama from office. If he really was serious about it, he would have appeared and testified and he would have taken a full advantage of this rare opportunity to be in front of a judge immediately and present his story."
Depends on how much he can milk the birthers for campaign donations.
"Similarly, I contacted a talk show host Mark Gillar. He had several investigators on his show: Mara DeBest, Tom Harrigan. I contacted all of them. I was telling Mark Gillar, that all of these investigators are totally worthless, in that, if they are not willing to appear in court and testify and put their money where their mouth is, their opinion is of no value."
Boy, she's really doing a lot to alienate and piss off her fellow birthers.
Scribd link to the reply from Arpaio's office here.
"Dear Ms. Taitz:
Our office represents Joseph Arpaio and we have received a copy of the subpoena that you sent to Sheriff Arpaio commanding him to produce certain documents and attend a pretrial deposition on January 25,2012 in Atlanta, Georgia. Our client will not be attending the deposition nor will he produce any documents as you have requested in the Subpoena. Under the Rules of Procedure for the Office of State Administrative Hearings subpoenas may
be issued "at any place within Georgia." See Rule 616-1-2-.19. There is no provision allowing the issuance of subpoenas out of the state of Georgia. As such, the subpoena is not valid."
Funny, isn't this what the State of Hawaii told her as well?? Heck, isn't this what Dean Haskins told her?
"Additionally, requiring our client to attend a pre-trial deposition in Atlanta, Georgia is unreasonable and constitutes an undue burden on him."
*Chuckle* Almost as if they copied Jablonski….
You know, it's actually kinda interesting. Either Joe Arpaio and Barack Obama are both wrong and Dr. Orly's subpoenas are legally valid, or every single debunker + birthers like Dean Haskins were right about the validity of Dr. Orly's subpoenas after.
27 January - Walter Fitzpatrick marks his 60th birthday.
"FITZPATRICK, WALTER FRANCIS 01/27/1952 60 In Custody Monroe County Sheriff's Office Monroe County Sheriff's Office"
Happy Birthday Walter Fitzpatrick
27 January - A man in Tennessee, reported as a "fanatical supporter of Obama", is arrested on charges of making death threats against Joe Arpaio.
"Working with MCSO, deputies in Knoxville, Tenn., served a search warrant and seized evidence from Cox's home on Friday after an investigation into the death threat came to light in October.
In that threat, Cox stated Arpaio and his family would be killed, according to MCSO. His postings read, in part: "I plan to kill Arpaio first. He will be filled with a thousand bullet holes before the year is out. I promise you this. He won’t [expletive] with Obama. He will be buried 10 feet under and his whole family will be murdered along with him."
The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office said the suspect's postings indicate he is an avid supporter of Obama and that Arpaio's ongoing investigation into the legitimacy of the president's birth certificate may be behind the death threat."
The word "idiot" comes to mind. And pretty much stays there.
27 January - Not one to let a good chance for media whoring pass him by, Joe Arpaio milks Cox's threat for all it's worth.
Didn't he say he would release his report "in 30 days", about 2 or 3 months ago??
27 January - Not surprisingly, the people at Birther Report are high-fiving themselves and rubbing themselves raw over Cox's arrest.
"Right after that comment was submitted we grabbed the IP address from the commenter and the location was in Tennessee. We then sent the pertinent information and the actual death threat to Dr. Corsi, among others, and informed them we were not 100% certain that was the commenter but we were pretty sure it was and it could be easily verified by contacting Blogger owner Google to confirm. Dr. Corsi later informed us that Sheriff Joe's office was now investigating the death threat."
And of course, the 101st Keyboard Commandos, Birther Report division, are just in internet tough guy heaven.

I'd have a lot more sympathy if it wasn't for the fact I average 1-2 threatening emails (including death threats) a month. All from birthers.
I still think Cox is an idiot though.
28 January - WSAV-TV reports on the Georgia Birther Ballot Jihad.
"Savannah Tea Party chairman Marolyn Overton says she won't call the president a "liar" but she does still have questions."I think Obama should not be able to just kind of force his way through this, not produce any answers" explained Overton. "He's stonewalling us. He has partially contributed to the controversy because he has not produced any papers that would prove or disprove anything to end the controversy. I would like to see the controversy end for our country, for President Obama so we can get on with what is important to this country, bring it back to its constitutional roots."
It would be more accurate to state he's offered no evidence you're willing to accept.
Wow. Could Marolyn Overton scream "that BOY hasn't shown his papers!" any louder??
"The president of Georgia's Democratic Party has no questions about the President's citizenship
In fact, he believes this entire case is more about politics than birthplaces.
"In 2008 the president got about 47% of the vote and this is after the campaign pulled out 6 weeks early to focus on North Carolina," explained Michael Berlon, Georgia Democratic Party Chairman. "With the changes we've had in demographics it's a pretty sound political strategy. They are doing their best to keep him off the ballot because there's a pretty good chance we could win Georgia for the President in 2012
"There's always a chance this judge could remove him from the ballot then the Secretary of State has to make tough decision about wether he wants to do that. If he does then we are ready. Our rebuttal as a party would be to go to federal Court and have him restored to the ballot we're pretty confident that would happen."
And we remember how well Dr. Orly did in Federal Court in Georgia before……
28 January - Reality Check notices that Dr. Orly may have just committed perjury.
See, on 13 January, she said in Hawaii:
“I, Dr. Orly Taitz, ESQ, declare under penalty of perjury, that I was given commission and subpoena…”
The problem was that the judge In Georgia denied those subpoenas and letters rogatory. As RC puts it:
"So Taitz, under penalty of perjury swore to state judge in Hawaii that the had a commission to enforce a subpoena from a judge in Georgia. That is straightforward right? She said to Judge Nishimura “I have a subpoena and I have a commission so you better enforce it”. Orly was lying. How do we know this?"
Simple!
Ooopsie. Again, as RC puts it:
"Well that is interesting. Taitz had filed a motion for a commission but she had not received a reply from Judge Malihi when she swore to Judge Nishimura that she had such a ruling. It was denied on the 27th. "
Orly has a defense though.
"In Taitz’s case she could make a convincing argument that she was ignorant of the meaning of a commission when she made the statement. All she would have to do is submit any of her numerous pleadings or transcripts of court appearances to demonstrate a complete ignorance of the law. I would conjecture that at minimum a mention of this will find its way into a motion to be filed by Deputy AG Jill Nagamine in her promised motion to declare Tatiz a vexatious litigant and ask for costs to defend her frivolous lawsuits in Hawaii. Only time will tell. Grab lots of popcorn!"
*Chuckle*
28 January - "Oh, For Goodness Sake" also points out that Dr. Orly may have been less than honest.
"Forget that particular subpoena was never even served, according to the Deputy Attorney General of Hawaii. Forget that even Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s lawyer knew Orly’s subpoenas could be ignored, because they were not valid. If Orly Taitz “was given commission” and Administrative Judge Malihi, by his own word, “lacks jurisdiction or authority” to give a commission, then where did the commission, the one Taitz swore under oath at risk of perjury to possess, come from? The same crackerjacks box as her law degree?
Will the State Bar of California take notice? We can only hope, but history judges not."
28 January - Dr. Conspiracy notes that the Southern Legal Resource Center has scrubbed their site to remove the list of directors and the list of advisors.
Including one particular member of their Board of Directors, Van Irion.
(PDF of 22 January 2012 Board of Directors Page here)
"One of the pages not scrubbed is a press release excerpted here that is characteristic of what’s on the site:
The suit charges that the students’ constitutional rights were violated between May of 2005 and January of 2006, when they were subjected to disciplinary action for wearing items of clothing bearing the Confederate flag. The action taken against the students, as well as the ban on Confederate symbols itself, violates their First Amendment rights of free speech. The disciplinary action taken against them also violates Fourteenth Amendment principles of equal protection and due process, the suit alleges.Knoxville Attorney Va[n] Irion is acting as counsel for the students and their families, supported by the Southern Legal Resource Center of Black Mountain, North Carolina . The SLRC, as it is known, is a legal organization that specializes in civil rights cases involving Southern heritage and culture issues.
In addition to pages with content like the above, it also contains an page critical of Morris Dees and the Southern Poverty Law Center. The one link that struck a familiar cord was an article called: “Racist!” as an Epithet of Repression.
It would seem to me based on the short time frame (4 days or less) between the pages disappearance and the Georgia hearing, that it is likely that pages were removed from the SLRC web site to prevent anyone from linking the SLRC and it’s goals with the ballot challenge in Georgia through Mr. Irion’s participation in the two.
The discerning reader should detect a decidedly neutral characterization of the SLRC in this article. It is what it is, and no one needs me to tell them what to think.
I have to confess it's…….funny…..that the SLRC felt the need to censor their website around the same time one of their directors argued in a court case that the United States first president of African-American decent was inegible for office. One would almost suspect they're trying to hide or sugarcoat something…..
29 January - Looks like CBS decided that tribble mobility scooter Donald Trump's flirting with birtherism wasn't that important.
"This morning, CBS' Face the Nation host Bob Schieffer interviewed Donald Trump about the businessman and reality television star's consideration of a possible independent run for president (consideration that, coincidentally, comes shortly before the season premiere of The Apprentice and publication of Trump's new book). Viewers learned that Trump doesn't want to run for president because he would "rather do what I'm doing now," but if he doesn't see a Republican nominated who he thinks can beat President Obama, he "would certainly think about doing it after the show ends."CBS viewers heard nothing, however, about Trump's history of pushing debunked birther conspiracy theories. Somehow, in an interview almost entirely concerned with Trump's presidential aspirations, Schieffer did not ask a single question about the central facets of the pseudo campaign for the Republican nomination Trump ran in the spring of 2011: Trump's repeated suggestion that President Obama may not have been born in the United States (and thus could not hold the presidency under the Constitution) and his demands that Obama "show his birth certificate."
29 January - At the Gulag-Bound Pest and eFail, professional seditionist Sharon Rondeau pulls wild speculation out of her bottom.
"Obama’s activities day by day this week2, and the schedule now reflects that his schedule was open on Thursday morning. However, The Post & Email has been told by a source that Obama watched the entire hearing remotely."
So who is your "Source"??
Oh, right
"Is that why his morning schedule was open?"
I suspect the President of the United States has better things to do than watch a bunch of conspiracy minded wackadoodles and racists spew forth long-debunked lies. Especially considering he was in Las Vegas while that nuttery was going on.
"In an article dated January 28, 2012 due to the time zone difference, the UK Telegraph has reported that Hillary Clinton intends to leave her post7 as Secretary of State to retire to teaching, reading and “private life” before the end of Obama’s term. However, Hillary is reportedly polling ahead7 of Obama in a hypothetical presidential bid for 2012.
Is Barack Obama resigning? What was discussed at the meeting with Clinton and Biden?"
I suspect it's more likely that Sharon Rondeau needs her medication adjusted. Again.
"Is the country preparing for “riots in the streets?”
Were the training exercises part of a plan to instill martial law9 in the United States upon Obama’s order, to prepare for civil unrest in the wake of an Obama resignation, or for some other reason?"
The only people I routinely see calling for martial law, civil unrest, and riots in the streets are the birthers.
Why does this latest pile of bovine byproducts sound like something "Ulsterman" would write???
29 January - Fox News playing flirty games with the birthers again??
(Bold face from original)
”Objective” Bret Baier made the same omissions and similar insinuations during his brief report on the hearing during the “Grapevine” segment of Special Report. Baier avoided using the words "birther" or "birth certificate" and instead described the lawsuit in far more credible-sounding terms.
President Obama and his attorney were both no-shows today in an Atlanta courtroom challenging President Obama’s citizenship and qualification to be on the March primary ballot there. After listening to hours of detailed arguments, the judge did not set a timeline for ruling. The president’s attorney had written to the Georgia Secretary of State imploring him to “bring an end to this baseless, costly and unproductive hearing.” The Secretary of State responded with a warning that if they failed to appear, “you do so at your own peril.” The Obama campaign has said, “As courts around the country have ruled time and again, these claims have no merit.”
As Baier spoke a graphic showed a face of Obama with “NO RULING” written underneath, as if the issue were up in the air.
Neither Baier nor Shaw told the “we report, you decide” network’s audience that Taitz is unlikely to prevail."
29 January - Certified transcripts from the Georgia Birther Ballot Jihad hearing.
Scribd link to Welden v Obama (Van Irion) transcript here
Scribd link to Swensson/Powell v Obama (Hatfield) transcript here
Scribd link to Farrar, et al. v Obama (Dr. Orly) transcript here
29 January - So let's recap:
13 January - Dr. Orly claims to the courts in Hawaii that she has "subpoena and commission from the court in Georgia.
23 January - Dr. Orly files a request with the court in Georgia for letters rogatory
27 January - The judge in the Georgia Birther Ballot Jihad hearing goes "no, you can't have letters rogatory, not yours." One of the things he cited was his court didn't have the authority for such.
So what does Dr. Orly do??
Why go to the county superior court with her demand!
(Scribd link here)
"The trial was conducted in his absentia. Defendant never introduced into evidence any documents proving his natural born US citizen status. However, the image attached with the aforementioned letter, was used with improper purpose to influence this court, the Secretary of State of GA, media and public at large. Aforementioned letter was widely quoted in the media and the image in question was included in multiple telecasts. Taitz, Plaintiffs attorney, had to endure multiple threatening and harassing phone calls, e-mails and messages as a result of this letter."
Boy, she ratchets up the pity play on this one.
29 January - At the Gulag Bound Pest and eFail, professional seditionist Sharon Rondeau gives us an update on Walter Fitzpatrick.
"In our most recent update, a visitor to Fitzpatrick reported that physically Fitzpatrick is well and looking forward to his anticipated release on February 9, 2012. Fitzpatrick reported to the visitor that the diabetic ulcer on his foot has healed."
And then she goes into conspiracy land.
"The Post & Email has been told by a reliable source that the FBI knows the truth about Obama’s original records, name, birthplace, and identity. Is that why Obama failed to produce documents at the hearing in Atlanta, GA on January 26, 2012? Can he not corroborate the life story he has told the public?"
This really does sound like something "Ulsterman" would write……
"The Post & Email is also in possession of the “smoking gun” which a Knoxville FBI agent told Fitzpatrick was needed to prove criminal misconduct on the part of the Monroe County judiciary, and the FBI has been notified."
And, like most birther "smoking guns", this will more than likely turn out to be a leaky water pistol.
30 January - Dean Haskins gives the birtherpoolza spin on the Georgia Birther Ballot Jihad hearing.
"Just as we witnessed internet postings falsely proclaiming that many individuals had been “subpoenaed” or “ordered by a judge” to appear in Atlanta, as well as repeated claims of there being a “trial” (instead of what they were—administrative hearings), that same kind of self-serving, inaccurate headline-manufacturing has resulted in claims that a “judge has ordered that Obama will not appear on the Georgia ballot.” Folks, not only has that not happened, Judge Malihi will not be issuing any such “order.” He will only be issuing a recommendation to Secretary of State Kemp, who will ultimately decide."
Something that Dr. Orly AND her supporters - indeed, most of birtherstan - were told repeatedly.
"Prior to the start of the hearings on Thursday, the judge called the three attorneys who were present into his chambers and said that he could award them a default order because the defendant did not show up, but the attorneys stated that they would prefer to present abbreviated versions of their arguments so that they would be on the record, in case there were any appeals.
Their having chosen to present evidence, therefore, precluded a default order, as such an order is awarded in the absence of any evidence being presented. The fact that evidence was presented means that Judge Malihi must make his recommendation based upon that evidence. It is the understanding of the first two attorneys to present their cases that, whichever way the judge decides will ultimately result in an appeal, and with their evidence being presented, they have prepared their cases to proceed to the highest court in the land, if necessary. "
Wouldn't it have been funny if the birthers sabotaged themselves??
" The third case, as presented, didn't, and won't, go anywhere."
I suspect neither will the other two.
"At this point in the proceedings, and in light of the basis of much of the third case, I believe an attorney who either understood the law, or who had an actual interest in succeeding with that case, would have at least voiced an objection to attorney Irion's stipulation of the birth certificate, even if, for no other reason, than to have the objection entered into the record. However, the third attorney made no such objection."
More than likely because Dr. Orly wasn't paying the slightest amount of attention to the other two attorneys, which she more than likely saw as interlopers on Her Day In The Spotlight,
"Having quickly presented their evidence, the judge called for a brief recess, at which time, Irion and Hatfield asked for the record to be closed in their cases. While speculation resulted that they requested the closing of their cases to prevent the defendant from providing evidence, I do not believe that was their purpose, as was evidenced in their open, and calculated, exit from the courtroom before the beginning of the third hearing, and not returning. They wanted it understood that they would have nothing to do with the third case, and closed the record on their cases to keep the third case from diluting theirs."
In other words, they didn't want to get Orly splashed on any of it.
"Now, before proceeding with my report, let me say that, before Thursday, I had never personally met Orly Taitz. After she entered the courtroom, she approached the Media area, where I was standing with our live streaming equipment, and she asked, “Are you Dean Haskins?” I extended my hand and said, “Yes, how are you doing, Orly?” Without reciprocating the handshake, she stated, “I think it is about time for an apology,” to which I replied, “You can apologize to me anytime you want.” Through clenched teeth, Orly quietly seethed, “You're a piece of sh*t. You shouldn't even be here.” Classy."
Why is this a surprise? Anyone who's been watching the birthers for even a quarter of the time I have knows that Dr. Orly Taitz is petty, vindictive, paranoid, arrogant, mind-numbingly egocentric, and, quite frankly, bitchy. She has two types of people in her life - useful and enemies. Dean Haskins stopped being useful and is now an enemy in her eyes.
And I strongly suspect that Dr. Orly thought that Hatfield and Van Irion shouldn't have been there either.
"On January 19, 2012, Orly filed an Ex Parte Amended Motion for Reconsideration under 60B in Honolulu, which was denied by Judge Nishamura. On page 5 of that motion is the following language: “I, Dr. Orly Taitz, ESQ, declare under penalty of perjury, that I was given commission and subpoena (attached) to conduct deposition and examination of records of witness Loretta Fuddy, Director of Health.” Interestingly, what she stated “under penalty of perjury” never happened. It was a lie. Not only did she never go before Judge Malihi to obtain a commission prior to January 26, on January 27 Judge Malihi denied her request for such commission due to lack of jurisdiction (precisely as predicted). I would be surprised if this little tidbit doesn't get included in whatever Deputy AG Nagamine files with Judge Nishamura concerning Taitz."
Someone else notices that Dr. Orly committed perjury.
"And, to what did she “testify”? While “testifying” about Barack Obama's Illinois Bar Application, Judge Malihi asked Orly what “personal knowledge” she had about the document (this is a common “legal” question), and Orly's response was that she had downloaded the image from the internet herself. Really? Did an attorney actually say that to a judge? I don't know if I could have been more embarrassed."
Take a look at most of your fellow birthers. Take a good, long, honest look.
Dr. Orly may be one of the more extreme cases, but there's plenty of reasons to be more embarrassed.
"But, far and above the horrendous incompetence, unmerited self-promotion, and inexplicably inaccurate self-image, is Orly's proclivity still to throw people under the bus in an effort to provide cover for her ineptitude. While most everything about Orly's public persona is deplorable, this must be her most depraved character flaw."
And again, it's not new or unusual. Debunkers like myself have been noticing this trait in Dr. Orly for ages. What Dean Haskins may not want to admit to himself is during the time he was openly supporting Dr. Orly, she was doing that to anyone who stopped being "useful" to her.
"In a ridiculous posting in which Orly spoke dishonestly about Sheriff Joe, she included abhorrent and wholly undeserved comments about Mara Zebest and Tom Harrigan (although, she didn't even get Mara's name correct)."
And that's a surprise? She's horrible with names. Maybe because she really doesn't think of other people as "people", just tools.
"I also commend jbjd.org as trustworthy commentary that cuts through the deceptive hype many in our movement have blindly accepted at face value."
You've cut though Dr. Orly's part of it, but quite frankly your entire "movement" is made up of "deceptive hype". Dr. Orly is an extreme example, but she's hardly alone. When she falls, someone has arrogant and ignorant will take her place.
"When I see us publicly lauding disgraceful behavior, and honoring deception, then I fear we have lost our way in what we are doing. Such blanket approval of that is indicative of abject hatred overruling thoughtful objectivity. If we are willing to disregard truth and decency in our quest toward a goal, then we should re-examine our motivation for that goal."
The irony in this one paragraph is simply amazing. I cannot think of a time since I started writing about the "Cult of the COLB" in Summer of 2008 that the birthers have NOT been lauding disgraceful behavior, honoring deception, showing blanket approval of abject hatred, ignoring objectivity, and disregarding truth and decency.
I submit that Dean Haskins promotion and involvement in the Virginia Sunahara theory and getting Duncan Sunahara involved in all of this is pretty indecent and disgraceful behavior.
You can't condemn Dr. Orly for this behavior when your entire movement is based upon that very same behavior.
"We have gained a toehold in Georgia (Orly had absolutely nothing to do with that, regardless of what she claims), and we owe a debt of gratitude to the plaintiffs and attorneys in the first two cases that were heard. However, if we continue to allow ourselves to be equated with the preposterous antics of the third case, we are doomed."
Too late. You all invited the crazy to the dance, you're gonna have to continue to tango.
30 January - Tribble life-support unit Donald Trump may throw his skull ferret into the ring after all.
“I can confirm that over the past two weeks I have spoken with many high-level political operatives, campaign managers, finance directors — some of whom I have spoken to in the past. Most are new people from all over the country,” said Michael Cohen, executive vice president at the Trump Organization and special counsel to the reality TV star.
“Until the time Mr. Trump decides to either endorse a candidate or run himself, I am exploring on his behalf the possibilities of ensuring Mr. Trump appears on the ballot in all states, and to develop a team of professionals who could ensure a potential victory,” Cohen added.
Back in March, Cohen met with Iowa GOP Chairman Matt Strawn and 18 political operatives, activists and fundraisers in Iowa, but Trump decided not to run."
Wasn't all he talked to. Cohen was the go-between with Trump and many of the birtherstani, including World Nut Daily and the like.
30 January - The Pest and eFail reports as to why they're still at Gulag Bound.
"Due to high traffic on both January 20 and 26 after Atty. Orly Taitz announced breaking news regarding the Georgia ballot challenges, The Post & Email’s web host, GoDaddy LLC, shut the site down without warning."
Translation - "We were cheap and went with the low bandwidth plan"
"We worked quickly to hire a website developer to optimize the site and restore the twice-daily news alerts which had stopped working. He began work almost right away and was about to start the optimization process when GoDaddy shut the site down for the second time."
Translation - "We were cheap and went with the low bandwidth plan"
"Although both the website developer and I contacted GoDaddy immediately and explained the steps we were taking to correct any overages, GoDaddy refused to turn the site back on. It made no difference that tens of thousands of readers were depending on the newspaper to report accurately, quickly, and in detail the breaking news of the day, which is vital in these days of the Obama regime."
Oh come on. Stormfront was still up and running, and if it was good enough for the Pest and eFail founder, "John Charlton", it should have been good enough for it's readers.
"On January 26, we prepaid $800 for a new hosting plan on a dedicated server to resolve the issue. We had already paid the website developer more than $200 to do his work. In a three-way conference call, GoDaddy told us that it would take up to 72 hours to prepare the server and that they would migrate the site content from the old server to the new. However, on the third day, they changed their story and said it was the website developer’s job to migrate the content."
Get the feeling the Pest and eFail's "developer" harassed GoDaddy's support staff until they were told "deal with it on your own".
"I am spending the last of The Post & Email’s funds to attempt to get the site up and running again. I may have to hire a specialist after the migration is done, as I had to sign a disclaimer acknowledging that problems with connections might be encountered. Having to pay another professional will most likely deplete the small amount of cash we have left."
Oh shucky darn??
"However, even though we have tens of thousands of readers each month, only a relatively few actually support the paper. "
*Snork*
"GoDaddy can be reached at (redacted), and the corporate office phone number is (redacted). A detailed letter has been mailed to Bob Parsons, CEO, and a message left with one of his corporate staff this morning. I have pledged to withhold the contents of the letter from publication until after Parsons has had a chance to respond and act upon it."
Oh this is going to go over well. Get the birtherstani to call and harass their hosting company. GoDaddy would be well within its rights to dump the Pest and eFail like last month's leftover bean and cheese burrito.
I mean hell, Dr. Orly can tell them all about how pissing off your hosting company is a Very Bad Idea.
"We need approximately $1,500 to overcome this obstacle. Can that be raised from a monthly readership of possibly 200,000?"
I suspect not. I also suspect some sugar daddy might ride in though.
Isn't it funny how a movement that supposedly has so many people in it has to keep hitting up the party faithful for funds?
Are you surprised?? It was obvious Arpaio was playing the birthers for money.
Old Joe is still Corsi's boy now matter how you cut it. Better luck next time Orly....

"Orly was lying. How do we know this?"
Her lips were moving.

Not just Arpaio, Trump is really playing the RWNJ for all they're worth. With the amount of attention he's craving all of the sudden, I wasn't surprised to note that there is a new series of The Apprentice coming up.

1. Dr. Orly finally got something right! Dean Haskins IS a POS!
2. Rondoo paid an IT guy $200 to transfer an entire web site bogged down with seditious statements and other outright lies? Gee, does she still think a can of Campbell's Tomato Soup is 19 cents? And what is this "newspaper" she speaks of?

What is Orly so bitter and angry about? Life seems to have handed her lemonade and she's making rotten lemons out it.

Back in December Sheriff Joe announced that he would release his pile of manure (sorry, that just slipped out)I mean report, in February.

> paid an IT guy $200
For $200, she likely has to replace "IT guy" with "my neighbour's 13-year-old who owns a Playstation".
> that he would release his [...] report, in February
But he never said "on the 1st of". He's got another 28 (or is it 29 this year) days to keep the birthers in suspense.
