Dispatches From Birtherstan - 3-6 July 2012

In today's dispatches, a brief tidbit about Walter Fitzpatrick Stephen Pidgeon may have to go back to chasing birther cars for sport. Lawrence Sellin is still at Pravda OnLine and still has a mad at the GOP.

More and more of late, the birtherstani at World Nut Daily, Birther Report, and Dr. Kate aren't even bothering to pretend they're not bigoted. Mario Apuzzo uses a novel legal argument only used in the past by Neo-Confederates and White Nationalists. Dr. Orly's Social Security Defective, Susan Daniels, goes off on her own and files her very first doomed court case.

Unlicensed pastoral therapist and unrepentant liar Sam Sewell sees the Bandini Mountain the birthers have accomplished over the last four years and pretends he's looking at a giant mound of tasty ice cream. Dr. Kate finds a whole new legal tactic that's sure to work has well as their past tactics. Terry Lakin tries to have his book pimped.

The Mississippi Democratic Party notes that Dr. Orly's attempt to submit Arpaio's affidavit for Larry Klayman was for a lost case. Dr. Orly goes "how DARE you challenge ME in return. Dr. Orly files her "plan B" case against the Affordable Care Act and it's a mix of bigotry, screeching, and lies, all wrapped up in a steaming pile of taitz for the judge's delight.

I suspect it won't be long until Joseph Farah is hiding under his bed with his head wrapped tightly in tinfoil. And Jerome Corsi is a - surprise - liar!!

2 July - The Advocate and Democrat reports on Walter Fitzpatrick's hearing last week.

"There were a lot of questions raised by Walter Fitzpatrick during a motions hearing Thursday afternoon, but when all was said and done a trial was set for Sept. 10.

Fitzpatrick is the man who came into Monroe County a few years ago and attempted to indict President Barack Obama for serving illegally through a Monroe County Grand Jury. Stating that it was not the proper place for such a thing, the grand jury turned down his request.

Fitzpatrick has been at war with the Monroe County court system ever since."

2 July - Stephan Pidgeon may have to go back to losing birther cases.

"The citizen initiative that would spell out that marriage is only between a man and a woman won’t qualify for the November ballot. Its sponsor, Stephen Pidgeon of Everett, says Initiative 1192 is more than 140,000 signatures short ahead of Friday’s deadline for turning in petitions to the Office of the Secretary of State in Olympia, and he concedes it won’t happen.

“I hate to say it … but we’re just not going to cross the threshold. We’re not going to make it. This measure is not going to be on the ballot,” Pidgeon said of I-1192.

That means only two initiatives remain alive likely filers ahead of the deadline – Tim Eyman with his latest two-thirds vote requirement for tax increases and the charter-schools proposal backed by at least $1 million from Bill Gates Jr.

Not that it had much of a chance:

"Even if I-1192 had enough signatures it likely faced a challenge from pro-gay marriage supporters. Anne Levinson, who led the R-71 campaign that ratified domestic partnerships in 2009, has been advising the R-74 campaign and said I-1192 petitions being made available online to supporters had the wrong language on them. [Clarifies Levinson role.]

State elections workers cautioned Pidgeon about this in a letter dated April 10, but Pidgeon said the language on the petitions was substantially correct. He would have made a “substantial compliance” argument, Pidgeon said.

UPDATE to original 1:04 p.m. post: Anne Levinson said the statute does not provide for that so the petitions would have been rejected, if Pidgeon had turned them in."

3 July - It looks like Lawrence Sellin is settling into his new home at Pravda OnLine. You know, it says something when he's been bounced from Canada Free Press, The Pest and eFail, AND Family Security Matters.

Anyway, he's still got a mad at the GOP for not buying into birtherism.

"Albert Einstein has been cited for saying that one definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results"

Case in point, just about every birther out there.

"Ironically, Obamacare will encourage a reduction in demand. Even though you will have to pay for life-saving drugs, life-ending drugs are free."

So where did Sellin here this one? The voices in his head or his bowl of cereal??

"Based on their amply-displayed lack of courage during the Obama Administration, does anyone really believe that the Republicans deserve one "last" chance to prove that they will support and defend the Constitution and not display their traditional timidity to oppose additional attempts by the Democrats to flout the rule of law or limit personal freedom?

If you do, then here is a club to beat yourself because you are a masochist, a person who achieves pleasure through self-denial, self-delusion and submissiveness, one who is gratified by the pain and degradation inflicted by politicians."

Hmmmm….sounds like Sellin is projecting a bit here. Maybe he needs to hook up with RacerJim and flip for who wears the gimp mask.

"Or maybe you are just insane."

Speaking of the pot calling the kettle black……

3 July - Some real charmers at Birther Report.

Whiney much?

3 July - Mario Apuzzo files a petition for his clients (tea party birthers Purpura and Moran of the failed tea party/birther anti healthcare lawsuit that was dismissed) with the New Jersey Supreme Court asking that the decision in their New Jersey Birther Ballot Jihad be overturned and the scary black man be kept off the ballot.

For a long time we've seen open racists and Neo-Confederates use the "only a 14th Amendment citizen" argument to claim that African-Americans and other non-whites can't be "Natural-Born" citizens because their citizenship was granted via the 14th amendment, which doesn't have the words "Natural-Born" in it. Gordon Epperly in Alaska used it, and you see that meme at many of the more racist cesspits of the internet.

Well, guess where Apuzzo went:

"Again, since the Fourteenth Amendment neither repealed nor amended Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 “natural born Citizen” clause, Wong defined a “citizen of the United States” under the Fourteenth Amendment, not a “natural born Citizen” under Article II. In fact, Wong’s specific holding uses the phrase “citizen of the United States,” not “natural born Citizen.” Hence, using that amendment to find someone a “citizen of the United States,” regardless of whether that person is a “citizen” from the moment of birth, has no direct bearing on the definition of an Article II “natural born Citizen.” After all, Article II says “natural born Citizen,” not “born Citizen,” and is applied for presidential eligibility. What the Fourteenth Amendment can do with reference to a “natural born Citizen” is increase the pool of parents who become “citizens of the United States” and give birth to “natural born Citizens.”

The clause “natural born Citizen” is a word of art, an idiom, a unitary clause, which has a very special meaning as confirmed by Minor. It is constitutional error to conflate and confound a “citizen of the United States” under the Fourteenth Amendment with a “natural born Citizen” under Article II. A “natural born Citizen,” being the standard for the President and the Commander in Chief of the Military, requires allegiance and citizenship only to the United States from the moment of birth. A Fourteenth Amendment “citizen of the United States” from birth does not have the same allegiance requirement and can even be born with dual and conflicting allegiances, a condition which the Founders and Framers did not permit future Presidents and Commanders to have when born. They were very specific as is evident from the plain text of Article II, Section 1, Clause 5, that after the adoption of the Constitution, one had to be a “natural born Citizen,” and not just a “Citizen of the United States.”

I guess when all your other legal arguments fail, you crib off of the racists.

Oh, and in comments, we get a new idea:

"Robert said… Can our Sheriff's, as Constitutional officers, confiscate and void any illegal ballots issued within their jurisdictions?

It would seem that the offering of illegal ballots would come under election fraud and racketeering statutes. All who authorize and distribute them should be criminally liable for their actions. They, at least, should not be able to benefit from them.

Mr. Obama, by his own admission, is not eligible to hold the office of President. Every cent he accepts and spends towards this end is fraudulent. Every speech he makes towards this end is fraudulent. Every poster, sticker, button, TV/radio commercial, etc. that he distributes or that is distributed in his name or in his behalf is complicit in this fraud.

What are the remedies available to address judges who ignore the laws or make up new laws be arrested and tried for contempt (or anything else)?

July 3, 2012 2:19 PM"

So basically have law enforcement break the law by confiscating any ballots for President Obama. How very banana republic of "Robert".

4 July - World Nut Daily reports that Dr. Orly's "Social Security Expert", Susan Daniels has decided to launch her own Ohio Birther Ballot Jihad.

"Ohio private investigator Susan Daniels has seen to that. On Monday, July 2, she filed suit in Geauga County (Ohio) Common Pleas Court demanding that Jon Husted, Ohio secretary of state, remove Obama’s name from the ballot until Obama can prove the validity of his Social Security Number.

Daniels, who has vetted thousands of Social Security Numbers for numerous other clients, has done her homework. In her filing, she thoroughly documents her contention “that Barack Obama has repeatedly, consistently, and with intent misrepresented himself by using a fraudulently obtained Social Security Number.”

I find this hard to believe, since Daniels "research" has been based off of public databases that have disclaimers about their accuracy. In addition, Daniels has said the that the supposed "multiple SSN's are a problem", (even though in 2008, Daniels herself wrote about how easy it was to find such mistakes in current records). In addition, Daniels has repeatedly claimed that the SSA doesn't issue new Social Security numbers even though the SSA's own website has information on how to do just that.

Based on her past history, I suspect Daniel's "homework" is shoddy at best.

"To acquire appropriate standing in court, Daniels has gone to the trouble of establishing herself as a valid write-in candidate for president."

Ask Leah Lax, Cody Judy, and John Dummett how well that worked for them.

"Before she is through, this 70-something mother of seven, who has been a licensed Ohio PI since 1995, may cause Obama more trouble than the Romney campaign."

"….to dream, the impossible dream….."

"What Daniels has done, however, is establish a paper trail so indisputably legitimate that even the most squeamish of conservative media will have a hard time finding fault."

Ummm….considering how long ago Daniels "evidence" was disputed and dismissed, I find that rather hard to believe.

4 July - So, despite the unbroken string of utter failure that the birthers have gone though since summer of 2008, unlicensed pastoral therapist Sam Sewell seems to think they're winning.

But first, some debunked paranoia

"Detractors call us “birthers” and would like to subject us to endless ridicule. A White House sponsored attack has been launched against us. A top Democrat, apparently operating with the full approval and cooperation of the president, has been directing a team of up to 100 who are paid to publish disinformation on a wide variety of websites to discredit "birthers." The radical supporters of the president, known as Obama robots, or "OBOTs" for short, have confirmed their White House-appointed ringleader is Democratic Party operative James A. Johnson, the former chairman of Fannie Mae."

Joe Arpaio isn't the only one who's recycling old Corsi nuggets. Swiftboat liar Jerome Corsi made these claims on 19 June 2011, 31 June 2011, and 9 August 2011.

You know Sam, it's pretty pathetic when you're reduced to rehashing year old debunked tall tales.

"Over 100 legal cases have been filed, and there has not been one legal victory so far."

Which should be a clue.

"Granted, the cases have not been decided the basis of evidence and law, but rather procedural evasion has been used to avoid dealing with the issue."

Actually every single case has been based on evidence and the law. The problem the birthers face is that the courts aren't has gullible as the birthers are.

"There are two substantial issues:

1) Was Obama born in the United States and are his birth documents fakes?

Born in the United States? Based on all official documentation and credible evidence, yes.
Fakes? Based on official statements and the credibility of the people making the claims of forgery, no.

2) No matter where Obama was born, is he a Natural Born Citizen, since has father never was a citizen of this country?

Under US law and the US Constitution, yes, he is a Natural Born US citizen.

"So, with ubiquitous ridicule, cowardly judges, legal failures, the avoidance of public dialogue, and no redress of grievance available from corrupt elected public servants, how can I say that the “birthers” are winning?"

1) Delusion
2) Substance abuse
3) Obama Derangement Syndrome
4) Willful ignorance
or
5) Denial.

"Here is some of the evidence that the ineligibility movement has been victorious in spite of all the obstacles erected by officialdom and Obama supporters:"

O RLY??

" The issue is still here! That is a victory of persistence over corruption! Before the 2008 election the pioneers of the Ineligibility Movement began writing articles and filing legal papers. Attorney Phillip Berg filed a complaint in federal district court on August 21, 2008, against Democratic Party presidential nominee Senator Barack Obama, the Democratic National Committee and the Federal Election Commission, alleging that Obama was born in Mombasa, Kenya and that the "Certification of Live Birth" on Obama's website is a forgery. The main value of what is being done is to expose the corruption of “Obama” and his enablers, and publicize it as widely as possible. Your help is needed for the latter, since the media and officials want this news buried deeply. Keep up the good work with emails, forums and web sites. In spite of all of the efforts to crush the ineligibility issue, it is very much alive and thriving, and there are still several legal cases that are active. A clear victory!"

I didn't know that "constant strings of failure and becoming a political joke" was somehow a "win".

"Many national opinion polls show that a large segment of the citizens still have questions about Obama’s history, and they still want answers! That is a victory of “think for themselves” citizens over the politically “correct” thinking of the ruling elite! Another clear victory!"

Funny how the "think for themselves" crowd seem willing to unquestioningly believe every single negative claim about President Obama, and seem unwilling to notice any evidence that doesn't follow their narrative.

Almost like they're following the party line or marching in lockstep….

"Because of the unresponsiveness of the ruling elite to the ineligibility issue the national consciousness has become aware that the media, the courts, and the politicians are corrupt beyond redemption. A paradigm shift is happening. The national political perception is no longer one political party against the other but the ruling elite vs. the citizens. Have you read the Declaration of Independence recently? Many of the complaints our founding fathers voiced against the tyranny of King George are now being seen as present in the tyranny of the ruling elite against today’s citizens. That is a victory of awareness. A clear Victory!"

So a bunch of conspiracy nutters and bigots who are upset that the government isn't taking them seriously is somehow a "win"???

"In the Korean War, the F-86 Sabre Jet had a ten-to-one kill ratio over the MIGs. Dollar for dollar, the Ineligibility Movement has a higher kill ratio than the F-86. For every dollar we spend, they must spend thousands. This is an economic victory. Keep that in mind when making contributions to Florida Ballot Challenge. Every dollar you send us takes thousands of dollars out of Obama’s corrupt treasure chest. This is again a clear Victory!"

Except that the majority of the cases involved haven't been against Obama or his campaign, they've been against election officials and various state and federal officials.

Seems like the birthers are the ones suffering the financial drain.

"Many voters have been influenced away from voting for Obama because of the obvious cover ups of Obama’s past. The Ineligibility Movement has educated the voters beyond the circumstances of Obama’s birth and the foreign citizenship of his father. Now people are more aware that Obama’s schooling history, medical history, travel and passport history, the history of his parent’s marriage and divorce, adoption records, the records of the Illinois bar, Illinois State Senate records, his beliefs, past associates, personal behavior, spending habits, and many other mysteries are unresolved. "

Only those who want to believe that in the first place. The majority of people in the reality based community have long-since rejected this tripe.

"I have a question for my readers. If the Ineligibility Movement was not scoring significant victories, why would the Democratic Party and Obama’s supporters be trying so hard to silence the issue?"

Because the birthers keep ignoring rulings against them and reality and keep filing the same crap in the courts over and over again??

"Why not encourage the legal establishment to rule on the evidence and the law, rather than avoiding the facts?"

They HAVE ruled on the evidence and law. And the birthers have lost. Repeatedly.

"FACE THE BLUNT TRUTH, THAT NO MATTER WHAT THE COURTS SAY, THE “BIRTHERS” ARE WINNING!"

"…..THEY ARE WINNING!! THEY ARE! THEY ARE! THEY ARE! THEY ARE TOO WINNING!!!! WAHHHHH!!!! MOMMY!! THERE"S A SCARY BLACK MAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE, MAKE HIM GO AWAY!!!!!"

"Far from being discouraged by legal failures, the Ineligibility Movement needs to redouble their efforts to keep the above cited victories in place, and continue adding even more victories to the win list."

Considering that your "wins" are usually seen as "complete failures", I'm sure you'll see more "wins" in your future.

"We are also supporting a unique approach to having Obama declared ineligible. "

Batshit crazy conspiracy claims unsupported by facts or reality??? Too late, you've tried that.

"This type of legal challenge is very compatible with the laws of most states."

Specifically the State of Delusion, the State of Intoxication, the State of Insanity……

"Jerry has created a Do It Yourself Ballot Challenge Kit. The ineligibility movement is now capable of empowering citizen activists to file Obama ballot challenges in almost every jurisdiction in America."

Yes, you too can have your very own legal failure to agonize over!!

"Imagine how we can amplify the power of our victories!"

Zero times zero is still zero. Zero raised to the tenth power is still zero.

4 July - Dr. Kate comes up with a brand new legal approach in birtherstan. If the court rules against a birther, then file a Title 42 complaint against the judge claiming the birthers civil rights have been violated.

"The failure to hear and properly address Obama’s lack of Article II eligibility results in the violation of our civil rights under Title II, Section 1983 with the highest court in the land now a clear and present danger instead of a clarifying voice and protector of the Constitution’s separation of powers. As it turns out, every single member of the judiciary is compromised as their jobs depend on the current regime being in place; that fact in itself is a violation of our civil rights.

As Ann Barnhardt said, the proper response is “junta” but that is not likely.

Short of the arrests that should happen by responsible military, FBI, or law enforcement, or the revolution itself beginning prematurely, let’s propose a different scenario."

Ah, so this should be attempted only if your calls for unconstitutional military coups, law enforcement takeover, and/or armed overthrow of the government fails. Good to know.

"In walk the plaintiffs as themselves and file a Title 42 action against the latest federal judge to dismiss an eligibility case:

Every person who, under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage, of any State or Territory or the District of Columbia, subjects, or causes to be subjected, any citizen of the United States or other person within the jurisdiction thereof to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws, shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law, suit in equity, or other proper proceeding for redress, except that in any action brought against a judicial officer for an act or omission taken in such officer’s judicial capacity, injunctive relief shall not be granted unless a declaratory decree was violated or declaratory relief was unavailable. For the purposes of this section, any Act of Congress applicable exclusively to the District of Columbia shall be considered to be a statute of the District of Columbia.

And, then, a jury trial!

"Invoking Rule 38 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the plaintiffs demand a jury trial:

(a) Right Preserved. The right of trial by jury as declared by the Seventh Amendment to the Constitution—or as provided by a federal statute—is preserved to the parties inviolate.

The evidence is finally heard by a jury of regular citizens who conclude the judiciary has conspired with the Obama administration to repel lawful citizen petitions, resulting in a violation of the civil rights of these plaintiffs and all Americans."

Or, more likely, the jury finds the birthers completely lacking in anything even close to credible evidence or basis in reality, and find the judiciary not guilty. After all, it's not like Dr. Kate has been any good at predicting the amount of support the birthers really have…..

And in comments:

Quantum Leap
July 5, 2012 at 1:18 pm
…….Saw drones flying in the sky last night. They dip and dive like flying saucers do. They can even stand still in the air. Totally blows the mind. Drones fly around dodging fireworks while the walking dead celebrate their past liberties….proud simpleton patriot celebrators who can’t do chit about the elitist negroid usurping the WH and his take-over of USA. So they just ignore it.
After this, no one will vote for a negroid ever again…
Did that and it is a failure……

They're not even bothering to hide their racism anymore, are they.

Not at all. And this is what Dr. Kate allows on her blog and approves of.

4 July - Not surprisingly, Birther Report rides World Nut Daily's coattails again.

Bâri′ M. Shabazz, according to the Social Security Death Index, died in August 1994. If Bâri′ M. Shabazz is the same person as is listed in this Hawaii auto accident as Bari Shabazz, why would someone care to recall his arrest warrant on April 9, 2003 or almost 9 years after his death? Surely, it could not be Bâri′ M. Shabazz who was interested since he had been dead since 1994. On the other hand, if he was not dead he would be interested.

The SSDI record states that the death information for Bâri′ M. Shabazz was coded “V”.
V signifies: “Verified: Report verified with a family member or someone acting on behalf of a family member.”
The report is not coded “P“ which signifies: “(Proof): Death Certificate Observed”. Notice of death was made by an informant who did not present verification of his/her reporting. No death certificate was presented with the notification of death.

Once in the federal system, the record was flagged as ‘PE’, meaning that an inconsistency exists between what was reported and what was recorded in the government’s files.

On 21 August 1994, the Illinois State Senate seat ‘officially’ opened up! Its occupant, Alice Palmer – for whom “Barack Obama” was working – could now set her sights on indicted Mel Reynolds’ Congressional seat.

On October 30, 2005, or 23 years following the date of the accident of March 12, 1982, the court again re-visits the case of Bari Shabazz, noting that he did not owe the court any money but to “Pls. check.” Why would the court again concern itself with this case on that date, especially if Bari Shabazz was dead since 1994?

You know, it used to be that the birthers would at least make an attempt to pretend they weren't racist bigots. They're really not even trying anymore.

5 July - Susan Daniels' case is posted

(Scribd link here)

It's 104 pages, of which 84 are exhibits, the vast majority of which we've seen with Dr. Orly's past filings. For that matter, I wouldn't be surprised if Dr. Orly was involved in this up to her spider-infested eyelashes. Assuming, of course, the two of them are still talking (Daniels looks like she's caught the attention whore bug of late, and Dr. Orly believes that Thou Shalt Have No Attention Whores Before Orly.

5 July - Over at the American Stinker, Jack Cashill gives Terry Lakin a reach-around.

"The good doctor had refused deployment to Afghanistan. He had been there before in his role as flight surgeon and would have been happy to go again. He had his bags packed and was ready to leave. All he asked from his commander-in-chief before boarding the plane was a sign, a nod to the constitutional niceties, a show of his birth certificate. It was not forthcoming."

No, he had asked - repeated - for proof from the Army that the Commander in Chief was legitimate. Each time he was given that proof, he dismissed it and demanded it again. He finally publicly disobeyed legal orders in his direct chain of command and missed deployment. forcing another doctor to deploy on short notice and causing hardship for the people on his team.

"Now, Lakin was on his way to Fort Leavenworth's Joint Regional Correctional Facility. Of all his hardship deployments, Bosnia included, this would be the hardest. After he bid a tearful farewell to his wife and three young children, his military minders chained his hands together and attached those chains to a band around his waist. They chained his legs and attached those, too. They then loaded him into a van and drove him to Reagan National.

There, Lakin endured his ultimate humiliation: a seemingly endless perp walk -- a shuffle really -- through a concourse filled with flags and patriotic bunting and the happy sight of returning soldiers."

Yes, a court-martialed convict being walked past those who did their duty and were not found wanting must have been quite embarrassing - for the convict.

"The civilian psychologist who did intake assessments at Fort Leavenworth claimed to know why the soft-spoken doctor refused deployment, or at least he thought he did. As he put it, Lakin did not believe Obama to have been born in the United States or to be constitutionally eligible to be president."

Well, duh.

"Lakin corrected him. As he explained, he did not know where the president was born or whether the president was eligible. The problem was that no one did. "

The State of Hawaii, the Federal Government, and the US Army all knew where President Obama was born and that he was eligible. Terry Lakin didn't want to accept that information.

The psychologist was correct.

"After exhausting all military channels, Lakin took the one honorable step that he thought would force the president to respond, even if it meant a court martial. The psychologist didn't get it. He could not quite factor "honor" into a mental illness evaluation."

Except there was nothing honorable in what Lakin did. He disgraced his oath and his uniform.

"The White House, which was aware of Lakin's ordeal, could have spared him imprisonment had the president done in April 2010 what he did in April 2011. "

"It would have been just fine if that damn darkie had shown us his papers, but that BOY refused to."

"Lakin watched this presentation on his cell block's communal TV with dismay. After all he had sacrificed, the president considered him, if he considered him at all, as nothing more than a sideshow freak."

Oh no. A disgrace to his uniform and his oath as an officer, but never a sideshow freak. Sideshow freaks have far more honor and respectability.

5 July - The Mississippi Democratic Party files an opposition to Dr. Orly's "please take note of the crap that got appended by Larry Klayman to his failed Florida case" filing

(Scribd link here)

"At the same time, it is difficult to ascertain why Plaintiff Taitz believes the Arpaio affidavit is relevant to the instant proceedings, and further notes that the case in which the Arpaio affidavit was submitted has been dismissed, and thus requests that theCourt deny Plaintiff Taitz’s motion"

*chuckle*

"Although it is not clearly stated, apparently, in connection with such an evidentiary hearing, Taitz would seek to have the Court haul in the Registrar of the Hawaii Department of Health, Alvin T. Onaka, and cause him to produce the birth related records he reviewed in preparing his Verification of Birth that the MDEC recently tendered to the Court. [ECF No. 35-2].4. Clearly, no such hearing should be allowed and the State of Hawaii should not be bothered by Taitz’s incessant harassment, as evidenced by the numerous suits she has filed over the years and which have been catalogued in earlier memoranda."

Expect the Dr. Orly blow up in 3…2…..

5 July - …1 (malware and redirect warning)

"OPOSITION TO EVIDENTIARY HEARING FILED TODAY BY THE DEM PARTY OF MS. THEY CAN’T UNDESTAND WHY HAVING A FOREIGNER USURPING THE WH REPRESENTS AN EMERGENCY, WHICH NECESSITATES A HEARING???
Posted on | July 5, 2012 "

What they understand is that the only "emergency" lies in that space between your ears that's filed with nitrous fumes and rat droppings.

"Dem party of MS filed an opposition today, claiming that having a foreigner in the White House is not an emergency, no emergency hearing is needed."

Reading comprehension - FAIL.

The opposition filing said no such thing. It stated (correctly) that the Arpaio affidavit you wanted them to take notice of, was for a case that was dismissed and that you shouldn't be allowed to go fishing when discovery hasn't been granted.

I guess Dr. Orly is assuming her cavity creeps won't actually bother reading the opposition filing.

Or, she's simply lying. Again.

"They also claim that hauling the registrar from HI, Alvin Onaka represents an incessant harassment by me of poor Onaka."

Only because it is.

"The fact that Onaka is complicit is releasing a forgery, does not represent a problem in their eyes"

No, the problem is YOU think it's a forgery when everyone in the reality-based community knows it's legit.

5 July - The Huffington Post notes Susan Daniels' Ohio Birther Ballot Jihad, and suggests some other things that World Nut Dialy could look into.

"Whether Daniels' suit will truly cause Obama trouble remains to be seen, but certainly, ultra-conservative groups and pundits will make as much out of the story as they can.

Which leads us to the next logical question: what other Obama controversies can be pulled out of the clear blue sky? Surely, there are plenty of stones that have been left unturned. After all, there's an election coming; go dirty or go home.

To that end, here are 11 other scandals we think deserve some looking into."

5 July - We now have Dr. Orly's "Plan B" (malware and redirect warning)

"BREAKING NEWS! NEW 113 PAGE COMPLAINT WITH EXHIBITS CLASS ACTION FILED ON BEHALF OF CHRISTIAN AND JEWISH US CITIZENS:HEALTHCARE OBAMA TAX IS ILLEGAL AS IT VIOLATES EQUAL PROTECTION CLAUSE, DUE PROCESS CLAUSE, ESTABLISHMENT CLAUSE AND FREE EXERCISE OF RELIGION CLAUSE OF THE US CONSTITUTION, AS IT EXEMPT MUSLIM CITIZENS AND PLACES A HEAVY TAX BURDEN ON CHRISTIAN AND JEWISH U. S. CITIZENS TO PAY A DE FACTO JUDEO-CHRISTIAN OBAMA TAX NOT ONLY FOR THEMSELVES, BUT ALSO FOR MUSLIM CITIZENS, WHO ARE EXEMPT
Posted on | July 5, 2012 "

And that's just the title.

"New 113 page complaint with exhibits class action filed on behalf of Christian and Jewish US Citizens:Healthcare Obama Tax is illegal as it violates Equal protection clause, Due Process Clause, Establishment clause and Free exercise of religion clause of the US Constitution, as it exempt Muslim citizens and places a heavy tax burden on Christian and Jewish U. S. Citizens to pay a de facto Judeo-Christian Obama Tax not only for themselves, but also for Muslim citizens, who are exempt."

There's a slight problem with the above.

Dr. Orly is lying. (yeah, I know, shock and amazement)

Snopes:

"The fact is that the "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act" (PPACA) legislation passed by Congress and signed into law by President Obama does not include language which specifically exempts members of any particular religion from health insurance requirements (nor does it use the word "dhimmitude").

The bill contains a general "religious conscience" provision which establishes guidelines under which religious groups which have established conscientious objections to certain forms of insurance may seek exemption from health insurance requirements:

RELIGIOUS CONSCIENCE EXEMPTION — Such term shall not include any individual for any month if such individual has in effect an exemption under section 1311(d)(4)(H) of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act which certifies that such individual is a member of a recognized religious sect or division thereof described in section 1402(g)(1) and an adherent of established tenets or teachings of such sect or division as described in such section.

The key issue here is the determination of which religious groups' members might qualify for this exemption, an issue that has not yet been decided (and probably won't be for some time to come). Such members would have to be adherents of a religion or sect "described in section 1402(g)(1)" of the Internal Revenue Code, which governs exemptions from the payment of Social Security and Medicare taxes on self-employment income"

Factcheck:

"Since we posted our article, we’ve obtained a list through the Freedom of Information Act of all the groups that have successfully applied for exemptions from payroll taxes. The overwhelming majority of them are explicitly Anabaptist — that is, Mennonite, Amish or Hutterite. Those that don’t specify their denomination are still explicitly Christian. Having gone through the list, we can say with certainty that no Muslim group, and indeed no non-Christian group, has ever qualified for an exemption under the statute used to define exempt religious groups in the health care law.

Nor are they likely to want to, says Ibrahim Hooper of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which opposes discrimination and defamation against Muslims. "I’ve never even heard it brought up as an issue," Hooper told us. "I have health insurance. We give health insurance to our employees. Every Muslim group I know of does the same thing." Hooper told us that he has seen some Muslims raise religious objections to life insurance, but not health insurance, and that, in fact, providing health coverage is very much in line with Islamic ideals of social justice.

As for "dhimmitude," it’s a politically charged academic concept, not a tenet of Muslim faith. The term was coined by scholar Bat Ye’or to describe the condition of the "dhimmis," protected non-Muslims living in Muslim empires starting in the 7th century. Dhimmi populations, Ye’or says, were allowed by their lands’ Muslim conquerors to keep property and practice their faith, as long as they paid a poll tax. It is Ye’or’s assertion that the condition of dhimmitude still persists in countries under shari’a law, and that, furthermore, it is spreading worldwide. In particular, she says, Europeans are accepting a state of dhimmitude and moving toward becoming "Eurabia." This position is controversial, and Ye’or is not secretive about her political commitments. For instance, she is a vocal supporter of Geert Wilders, the Dutch politician who was once banned from the United Kingdom because of his inflammatory anti-Islam views. For the e-mail to present "dhimmitude" as an established Muslim value rather than a scholarly concept from an author with open political commitments is misleading."

About.com:

"Could Muslims seek exemption from the health care reform law? Yes, but they have given no indication of intending to do so.

Muslims living in non-Islamic countries such as the United States do not believe it is a sin to comply with the health care reform law.

The Muslim scholar Sheikh Muhammed Al-Munajjid advises those practicing Islam in such countries: "If you are forced to take out insurance and there is an accident, it is permissible for you to take from the insurance company the same amount as the payments you have made, but you should not take any more than that. If they force you to take it then you should donate it to charity."

Until that belief changes, the email about Muslims exempt from the health care reform law being circulated by conspiracy theorists remains bogus."

By citing something that's been openly debunked like this, Dr. Orly is rather openly showing her anti-Muslim bigotry and hatred.

"Additionally, Plaintiff Attorney Orly Taitz, who is seeking a class action certification, is bringing forward a second challenge to Obama Tax, asserting that it is illegal, as it was signed into law by Barack Obama under false pretenses and by virtue of fraud, usurping the position of the U.S. President while using forged and fraudulently obtained identification papers: forged Selective service Certificate, forged Birth certificate and a fraudulently obtained Social security number."

Ah, so she's still going full-bore birther.

"Additional cause of action is RICO, asserting that Obama doe America is a de facto RICO organization created to procure fraud committed by Obama. Additional defendants are Attorney General Holder, Registrar of the Department of health of HI Alvin Onaka, former director of Selective Service William A. Chatfield, Commissioner of Social Security Michael Astrue, former Chair Woman of Democratic National Convention in 2008 Nancy Pelosi, former chairman of the Democratic Party of Hawaii Brian Schatz and a number of other defendants."

Why do I get the feeling this "plan B" is nothing more than a recycled and repurposed version of her usual steaming pile o' taitz?

Oh, right. Because it is.

5 July - Salon reports on the next Arpaio / Corsi dog and pony show.

"Birthers not giving up: Maricopa County, Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio is preparing to reveal what his team claims is explosive new evidence that President Obama was not born in the United States. Arpaio, whose “Cold Case Posse” has already held one press conference on the supposed forgery of Obama’s birth certificate, plans to hold another media event on July 17th with the new details. “I can’t disclose to you what we’ve discovered, but it’s going to be a shocking revelation at our press conference,” Mike Zullo, head of the posse, told a Tea Party radio program, according to the birther website WorldNetDaily."

5 July - My oh my, Dr. Orly sounds cranky (malware and redirect warning)

"PLEASE CONTACT MATT DRUDGE AND ASK HIM, WHY DIDN’T HE PUBLISH SOME 30 LEGAL ACTIONS I BROUGHT FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS? IS MATT DRUDGE ANTISEMITIC?
Posted on | July 5, 2012 "

I suspect not, since Matt Drudge happens to be Jewish…

"I noticed that for nearly 4 years that I brought legal actions challenging Obama’s Social Security number and other documents, Matt Drudge never published on his site any links to any of the cases and never mentioned my name. He published links to articles, where Corsi copied information from my complaints and presented it as his extensive research."

Well, Matt Drudge tends to like to nose-buff Farah and Corsi's buttocks to a high-gloss shine, so not a big surprise that.

"Hundreds of my supporters wrote to Drudge, but he never published a word, even thought for nearly 4 years I provided cases and affidavits of multiple investigators, starting with Neil Sankey. Drudge wrote extensively about ObamaTax, but did not write a word about my latest case challenging ObamaTax as violating the Establishment clause, Equal Protection clause and due to Obama’s lack of eligibility."

Maybe because Drudge, like many on the right, doesn't want to get any taitz splashed on him.

"Similarly, World Net Daily, its owners Joe Farah and Jerry Corsi, who claimed to promote this issue, in fact promoted my opponent in my race for senate, even though she was against eligibility and never did anything to promote any constitutional rights, and now WND did not notice 5 cases being brought by me challenging Obama, one of whih is challenging ObamaTax and Obama simultaneously.
Write to Drudge, Farah and Corsi and demand answers? On whose side are they really?"

The side that lines their wallets with large amounts of cash, obviously.

6 July - Paranoid Mr. Farah??

"During the interview, Farah also revealed to Jones that his private property was scouted by a drone that sounded “like a lawnmower buzzing over my head.”

“I’m taking my dog for a walk and guess what I see right over the tree line right above my head is a drone,” he said. “I don’t live in the city, I don’t live in a populated area, I live in one of the most rural places you could possibly live in Northern Virginia and there could only be one thing that this drone was spying on and that would be me, that would be my property because there’s just nothing else around except woods and deer.”

6 July - Oh look! Jerome Corsi might have been lying……..again…..

"It took more than a year, and a few semi-threaty letters from me, but I finally received a response from the DOS’s Sheryl L. Walter:

Based on the subject matter of your request, we searched the records systems most likely to maintain responsive records: The Bureau of African Affairs and the Central Foreign Policy Records System. After a thorough search of these systems conducted by professional employees familiar with their contents and organization, no records responsive to your request were located.

Quite the pickle, huh?

So it’s no longer about Corsi producing the 2008 Ranneberger letter. Now Jerome has to prove that the Kisombe letter, in which Ranneberger’s is referenced, is real.

So how about it, Jerome? The ball is in your court. Do you have proof that these letters were written, or are you just a gasbaggy liar?

My money is on "gasbaggy liar"

My favorite "alternative scandal" from that HuffPost piece you linked to, was #10:

"This One Guy Says Obama Might Be A Vampire

He spent a few months studying it and you would be shocked at what he's found."

ROTFLMAO!!!

[Greg Brown]

Damn Patrick, I don't see how you do it, but thanks for doing it.

"...or the revolution itself beginning prematurely,..."

They've been openly calling for revolution since 2008, how could it possibly begin prematurely? I thought that lots of them were upset that the revolution hadn't happened yet.

[Shay]

"A top Democrat, apparently operating with the full approval and cooperation of the president, has been directing a team of up to 100 who are paid to publish disinformation on a wide variety of websites to discredit "birthers."

Geez, Patrick, you must be really raking in the dough, what with the checks that top Democrat is paying you to harass the poor birthers (koff, koff). So, when are you having us all over for supper?

[Montana]

Willard is the original anchor baby and Sheriff Joe Arpaio is short, dumb and a liar! Go find your FlatEarth…..Ha…Ha!
