It's become fairly obvious right now that the birther meme of the day is "election fraud". Not surprising, as they were setting that one up for a long, long time now. Anything to deny the very notion that the majority of voters selected President Barack Obama not just once, but twice. More than that, more people voted for Barack Obama for a second term than voted for George W Bush for his second term.
However, since many of the birthers have been in their own thought-proof echo chambers since 2008, it's not overly surprising that they can't figure this out. And since they're already addled by conspiracy theories, adding one more to the horse manure frittata they so lovingly consume isn't overly difficult. So right now they're all on board this myth, which will eventually do what every other birther myth has done, and sink into the Sewage Pond of Broken Dreams.
Anyway, in today's dispatches, we have Conservative "Fact" "Check". which seems to do anything but. However, there's a familiar name there…..
Dr. Orly has to break out the check book again, and threatens the media. Failed scientologist Sher Zieve shows up again. The tribble mobility scooter's children try to go "no dad, stop, you're embarrassing us." George Miller is getting ever more whiny and screechy of late.
Larry Klayman asks the court for more time, because it seems he was too busy carrying Joseph Farah's water. One of Dr. Orly's courtroom props cozies up to Walter Fitzpatrick, who is exploring the high seas of the Paranoia Ocean. And Dr. Orly is TIRED and needs MORE courtroom props.
11 November - Comedienne and musician Julie Brown does her take on Victoria Jackson's reaction to President Obama winning the election.
26 November - For years, birthers and their ilk have dismissed Snopes and Factcheck because of so-called "bias" (in other words, complaining that the facts and evidence tend to refute birther lies.).
Well now we have "Conservative FactCheck".
Actually they seem to have been around a while, since one of their first articles was a 23 August 2011 article about the COLB by one "Chuck Rodgers". And what did "facts" did they use to show it was a forgery??
The 20 July 2008 article at "Atlas Shugs" by "TechDude", along with Brian Keith Nixon, Karl Denninger, and that parody article the San Diego Reader did.
Another 23 August 2011 article that cited Texas rep Leo Berman as part of a "A Certificate of Birth is not a Birth Certificate" rant.
They also did a 15 September 2011 that also cited "TechDude's" Atlas Shrugs
Then there's a 12 November 2012 "Wahh, Romney lost" article that whined:
"The fake birth certificate? Barely a mention. The election fraud. The rumors about homosexuality. The mysterious trips to Pakistan. Nothing."
Snopes, FactCheck, and PolitiFact all back their claims up with solid evidence. Most of the time "Conservative FactCheck" doesn't even pay lip service to that idea, and when they provide links, it's aways to the same faked data and questionable sources.
So who is behind this? Well, their about section has only two names.
"Chuck Rogers, Editor-In-Chief
Mr. Rogers presently writes all the content for CFC."
I would have never guessed.
"Techdude", Technical Editor Accomplished computer expert "tech dude" has an A.A.S. in Network Technology and Security from Inver Hills Community College. He specializes in detecting document and photo forgeries."
*Faceplant* You. Have. Got. To. Be. Joking.
And what happened to all those advanced degrees and certification that Techdude stole from Adam Fink told Pamela Geller he had???
26 November - Final judgement in Dr. Orly's anti-ACA lawsuit against Kathleen Sebeluis.
(Scribd link here)
"1. Plaintiff;s claims are dismissed with prejudice as to all defendants; and
2. Costs are assessed against Plaintiff".
IT IS SO ORDERED"
"Yosi? Please to be getting out the checkbook again. Your darling Orly, she has been having mean judge demanding money again……"
26 November - Failed scientologist and writer Sher Zieve is at Canada Free Press, and she's beating the "voter fraud" drum as well.
"There are hundreds and thousands of the above reports on the Net, many of which can be viewed in my source material below. The central and grave problem we now face is that with the “new-normal” massive election fraud either being ignored (accepted) or discounted by the two major political parties we have, indeed, lost our Republic. Bear in mind that without our founding legal document—the US Constitution—being protected, observed and followed to the letter by our political and judicial leaders the Republic is moot. And the majority of our political leaders have not followed the US Constitution for decades. If they had, said “leaders” would not have been able to affect the unconscionable theft of the fruits of our labors which they have unethically and with abject turpitude ‘redistributed’ into their own pockets and they would certainly not have been able to strip us of our liberties one-by-one; so that we are now left with none. However, it was our own lack of attention to what they were actually doing and our own inaction in stopping them that—in great measure—allowed these atrocities to occur."
But don't worry! She has a leader to help guide the faithful out of the perils of democracy!!
"Before the last stage of our options is forced into implementation, there may be a couple of things we can do to stop the complete destruction and chaotic onslaught by our once-fellow citizen leaders. The first is to file a treason complaint against Obama and see if you can find a grand jury in your state that will agree to pursue it. We only need one, at this juncture. Multiple treason complaints have already been filed by LCDR Walter Fitzpatrick III and have been accepted by the courts as “meritorious.”
Ummm…. No court has ever said that about any of Walter Fitzpatrick's filings. The only people who have called his rants “meritorious" are the various fantasy tiddlywinks leagues.
She's even more delusional than ever.
And in comments:
"Sher,I have followed your articles for a long time,you are always right on.Can I suggest this: If patriots like you and,J.B.Williams,Joan Swirsky,Mario Appuzzo, Pat Buchanan,Sharon Rondeau,Dwight Kehoe,Andrea Shea King,Lawrence Sellin,Walter Francis Fitzpatrick[Fitz],Charles Kirchner,Gary Willmott and there are many others,…If these patriots will unite in purpose and number it will be a powerful force to over power the tyrants in our white house and those leaders that need to be removed.All this in accordance with our instructions from our founders in the Declaration of Independence to alter or abolish [not the government] but our tyrannical leaders.I think of another patriot who loves our beloved country too,the well known Donald Trump who offered some money to obama if he would release his records[which he never did] maybe Mr. Trump could help finance this united endeavor,which will lead to reclaiming our country.Sher, I have been praying about this and perhaps you folks are the answer.Thank you and may God Bless America Charlie Resseguie from central N.Y. state Posted by Charlie Resseguie on 11/27 at 02:06 AM"
Except the vast majority of the names listed have shown a complete inability to organize an orgy in a whorehouse, much less "unite in purpose".
27 November - Dr. Orly to media: "YOU WILL BE REPORTING MY LIES OR I WILL BE FILING THE REEEKO SUIT AGAINST YOU TO AS WELL IN ADDITION!! SCREECH!!!" (malware and redirect warning)
"WRITE TO THE MEDIA PROMOTING OBAMA AND ADVISE THEM THAT THEY WILL BE ADDITIONAL DEFENDNTS IN A RACKETEERING LAW SUIT IF THEU DO NOT REPORT TO THE PUBLIC ALL THE EVIDENCE OF FORGERY IN OBAMA’S BCS
Posted on | November 27, 2012"
27 November - Here's a 18 September 2012 video of a Sovereign Citizen trying to spout their craptrap and get into a courtroom.
It goes poorly.
27 November - Reports are that Donald Trump's children are trying to get him to shut the hell up.
"Donald Trump's children were reportedly so concerned about his repeated criticism of Barack Obama that they asked him to tone down his attacks.
Mr. Trump, the billionaire business mogul, repeatedly waded into the U.S. election race with a series of attacks on the President, culminating in a bizarre offer to donate money to charity if Mr. Obama released his college records.
His behavior was allegedly so distracting that his three children, Eric, Donald Jr. and Ivanka approached him and allegedly told him to soften his stance as it was damaging the family's reputation.
"The three of them met and went to see their dad in his Fifth Avenue office," a source told The New York Daily News. "They showed a lot of respect, but told him he's worked too long and too hard to build up the reputation he has. They understand completely he's always been outspoken and that he likes attention, but this is too much."
27 November - George Miller has an extended whine that nobody is taking the birthers or their "election fraud" claims seriously.
So much so that he's thinking of taking his ball and going home.
"In the meantime, the offenders get ZERO support from me- and many others, if not active opposition. Offenders include officials who deny the problem, or who simply refuse to engage. You know who who you are. Seven million more Republicans dropped out of 2012 voting. Maybe it will take 20+ million to get their attention? (Better yet, double digit percentages for 3rd party candidates)."
And gets a bit threaty:
" At that point the political process will have lost ALL legitimacy. But don’t worry, millions will have turned their attention to other approaches."
O RLY?
"Obama was elected by less that 30% of eligible voters"
Let's put this in context, shall we??
Population (Nov. 2012) - 314,756,000
Estimated voters (Nov. 2012) - 219,000,000 (69% of population)
Voter turnout in the 2012 General election - 126,000,000 (57.53% of voters)
Barack Obama got 64,916,510
Estimated voters - 29.59%
Actual voters - 50.9%
Mitt Romney got 60,493,449
Estimated voters - 27.6%
Actual voters - 47.4%
Gary Johnson got 1,264,995
Estimated voters - 0.58%
Actual voters - 0.99%
Jill Stein got 458,411
Estimated voters - 0.22%
Actual voters - 0.36%
Virgil Goode got 119,281
Estimated voters - 0.05%
Actual voters - 0.09%
While Miller is correct in so far as President Obama only got slightly under 30% of estimated voters, that's still more than the 28.4% that the next FOUR people in the election got.
He then goes into our old friend and Arizona Tea Party nitwit, Tom Ballantyne.
"I agree that we need a plan. We have (thousands indirectly) of contacts who have been intensely interested in the eligibility issue, and will participate once we do. "
Thousands out of how many voters?? (Not to mention that, historically speaking, the birthers have been doing good to organize groups of three digits….)
"We will also need to publicize our efforts through Joseph Farah, Floyd Brown, Peter Boyles, Reverend James Manning, Mark Gillar, and others."
Ah, the usual gang of idiots.
"Lord Monckton has suggested we write all of the electors, but I don’t know how to get their names, etc., and they would probably not act individually. "
Viscount Monckton has really gotten cozy with the birtherstani, hasn't he?
"The governors will probably also try to avoid their responsibility as have each of the 100 state SOS’s and AG’s which we recently wrote to prevent illegal candidates from state ballots. Still we could inundate them with calls and emails, and perhaps force them to respond."
How has that worked out for you in the past, skippy?
And from one Joseph J. Hobbs, Marcopa County Republican Committee "Conservative Member at Large":
"We can create a giant, violent UNITED RED STATES INITIATIVE and take our country back. We can do this!
Our call to action is DON”T SECEDE, UNITE WITH OTHERS WHO SHARE OUR COMMON VALUES – THE UNITED RED STATES of AMERICA.
Four Republican RED STATE Governors can save our American Republic. (Jack Scott, John Kasich, Bob McConnell and Scott Walker for example.)"
*Violent*, eh???? And how "patriotic" for him to be talking about the "United Red States of America"......
27 November - Larry Klayman asks for more time from the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Alabama.
(Scribd link here)
"Co-counsel has been out of the country on an urgent mission to Israel and has been unavailable for completing all necessary filings within the 7 days prior to hearing date as ordered by the court."
It doesn't say what his "urgent message to Israel" was. However, considering that World Nut Daily posted two articles about Israel that Larry Klayman wrote, (one posted 18 November 2012, and 23 November 2012, I'm going to assume that Larry Klayman felt that muckraking for World Nut Daily was far more important than his clients or court dates for cases he's counsel or co-counsel in.
Oh, and he also wants to appear by telephone (Scribd link here), because flying from Los Angeles to Alabama is sooooo very expensive…….
I rather hope that somebody points out to the defense attorneys Klayman's little trip and the World Nut Daily articles in question…..
28 November - Birther, Dr. Orly courtroom prop and failed vanity presidential candidate Laurie Toth announces a special guest on her radio show.
"Wednesday, the 28th from 8-9pm PAC, Thursday 7-8pm PAC and Friday 7-9pm PAC Dr. Laurie Roth will be hosting on her national radio show a Treason mini series with former military officer Walter Fitzpatrick as her guest. He has currently filed treason charges against Barack Obama and is currently looking nationwide for a Grand Jury to have the guts to follow through with his treason charges. "
I'm sure she also plans to ask him about his court-martial, retirement, and past criminal record…..(/sarcasm)
"His case against Obama has been ruled meritorious by several Judges."
Ummm, no. Several fake grand juries have used his treason gram, but no real judge has actually commented on them, much less called it "meritorious"
"Why talk Treason regarding Barack Obama? What behaviors by Obama equal treason charges? What does the Constitution say for the people to do when a President has failed the people on the level of Treason? Roth and Fitzpatrick will take the gloves off and explore all of these issues and what should be our course of action to save our country."
Knowing those two, I suspect the "treason" being spoken of will whatever "course of action" they talk about……
28 November - George Miller posts that Noonan v Bowen is STILL on appeal, so the birtherstani shouldn't give up hope.
"This is the premiere California Ballot Challenge case, such as it is, now in appeal. It is being sloooooow-walked through the system by the Peoples’ Republik of Cal-ee-Fornia. The formerly “Golden State’s” extreme left wing Attorney General and Secretary of State have done everything possible to squash it, legally or illegally.
They incorrectly claim that SOS Bowen has no responsibility to vet candidates, even though she has before and even though a Supreme Court precedent supports “ministerial duty” of a SOS. When confronted with that, plaintiffs were told that vetting is discretionary, as if it would be logical to vet some obscure third party candidates, but not a likely winner, who has very serious questions challenges to his eligibility. The case never got to trial, as it was stopped by a motion to dismiss. "
Which happens when the defendants have "facts" "the law" and "reality" on their side.
Oh, and he wants money.
"We spent nearly all the money raised by our legal non-profit for a FL challenge handled by Larry Klayman,"
How did that work out for you???
"…so our Founder Pamela Barnett went the Pro Se route, while Noonan was represented by Gary Kreep. It appears that Pamela and Gary achieved similar results."
Namely, failure.
"I can hardly guarantee that they will win this one, given the outrageous things which CA did with the original case"
Yeah, to a birthers eyes, "reality" can be pretty outrageous.
"…but there is some value in getting word to the public, recording their lies and illegal actions and to set the stage for future actions."
So in other words, they plan to throw the same shit against the wall in hopes it eventually sticks.
"While we don’t have any expensive lawyers to fund for Pamela, there are various fees, travel and other expenses she could use help with"
$o come on Birther$!!! That PayPal button won't click it$elf!!!
27 November - Of course Walter Fitzpatrick has to give Laurie Roth a reach-around too.
28 November - Dr. Orly continues trying to spam anyone she thinks will take her seriously. (malware and redirect warning)
"SECOND COMMUNICATION FROM THE INTER-AMERICANCOMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS. I AM SUBMITTING A SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEF IN THE REQUESTED FORM OF THE OFFICIAL PETITION. PS. UN COMMISSION ON CIVIL RIGHTS DEFENDANTS ACKNOWLEDGED MY PETITION AS WELL, BUT NO RESOLUTION YET "
I'm sure they hung on every word you wrote too.
"…I NEED A PARALEGAL PREFERABLY IN CA TO HELP WITH MY PRO BONO WORK, I AM GETTING REALLY EXHAUSTED AFTER 4 YEARS OF 24/7 NON STOP WORK Posted on | November 28, 2012"
Oh, poor baby. My heart bleeds purple peanut butter.
So what did "THE EXECUTIVE SECRETARIAT OF THE INTER-AMERICAN COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS" have to say??
"We acknowledge receipt of your communication, received in the Executive Secretariat of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, by means of which you provide informationconcerning human rights.
It does not appear from the information provided that you intend to formally initiate an individual petition proceeding under the terms of Article 23 of the Rules of Procedure of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. Therefore your communication has not been registered as a petition. Should you intend to initiate such a procedure, attached please find the brochure entitled How to present petitions in the inter-American system.For more detailed information, you may wish to read Articles 18 and 19 of the Statute of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, which describe the Commission’s functions, along with Articles 29.f of the Rules of Procedure of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, which establish the procedures once a petition has been lodged."
So a form letter then.
28 November - Walter Fitzpatrick is getting just a bit paranoid in regards to this story.
"So,six days before my scheduled 3 December 2012 trial, I sit here asking myself, wondering how many of the thirty bomb threats came from “P.J. FOGGY,” Mr. William L. Bryan
William Bryan, a.k.a. “P.J. Foggy,” pulled the same stunt in the days leading up to my Tuesday, 20 April 2010 court appearance."
Well, that may have had something to do with your supporters advocating an armed takeover of the courthouse. Funny thing that.
28 November - Dr. Orly trolls for clients. (malware and redirect warning)
(Redaction mine)
"EXTREMELY IMPORTANT! IF YOU ARE A GOP OR OTHER PARTY DEFEATED ELECTOR AND WANT ME TO REPRESENT YOU CALL ME (redacted) OR E-MAIL ME AT (redacted), OR COMMENT HERE. DUE TO TAMPERING WITH MY MEANS OF COMMUNICATION, USE ALL 3 MEANS
Posted on | November 28, 2012"
Mind you, she can only legally represent clients in California. All other states they're props "pro se plaintiffs".
28 November - Walter Fitzpatrick is on a roll, producing a whole "timeline" of what he sees as President Obama's "treason"
Including this cute graphic.
*Rolls eyes* Someone wanting a good ol' fashioned lynching because a certain "darkie" got "uppity" and "above himself". eh Fitzpatrick??
His list is pretty much tea party talking point with little to no basis in reality. And, much like a paranoid delusional energizer bunny, he keeps going and going….
"For what it’s worth, I publicly extend and renew standing complaints naming OBAMA in TREASON as they now touch on OBAMA’s clear participation in those events surrounding the tragedy in Benghazi last month.
HERE ENDTH THE LESSON!"
Here Continueth the Delusion.
28 November - Oh look. "Obama Ballot Challenge" reprints another whiney birther letter, this one to Chief Justice John Roberts, telling him he better not swear in that uppity darkie if he knows what's good for him.
"In the Inaugural, Chief Justice Roberts is probably scheduled to administer the Oath Of Office to the illegal alien, Obama. I have written to Roberts and stated that as Chief Justice of the United States he should not be involved in administering the oath to a man who is not qualified to be president. I cautioned him that his reputation was damaged by his involvement in the Obama Care legislation. He needs no further embarrassment for himself and our country."
Actually the embarrassment would be for Roberts to go full metal birther, but minor picky details.
Of course, George Miller has to get all snotty.
"As far as we’re concerned, his reputation was already damaged when he did it the first time. He was so nervous, possibly for shredding the Constitution, that he couldn’t even get the words right.
In case Roberts wisely declines, “Obama” might use this guy instead:"
Followed by a picture of Cuba's Chief Justice.
Wow. Can George Miller get any more petty and juvenile??
28 November - I've pretty much all but given up on "Birther Report". It's pretty much "anything bad someone says about Obama we'll publish", and the comments are a bare handful of butthurt racists whining over and over again. It's pretty much "Stormfront Lite" anymore.
However, a couple of the old standbys occasionally show up.
"Dealio · 2 hours ago
No guts, no glory. Action speaking louder than words, in this situation, is an understatement. Encircle the capitol and arrest all three branches. The country immediately shifts back into the hands of Americans. Considering the results, it's not a bad option. Starting fresh as a free country once again, I imagine, would be very appealing to most of us here."
Poor Dealio. Still wants his little Revoltio, but can't seem to Findio anyone to Leadio
That Robert from Idaho; lovely man no doubt - but a bit lacking in common sense,rationality and courtesy?
Remind me, where his 'rights' as a citizen of Idaho come from?
Do such nutters vote in US federal elections - they shouldn't, should they, as men of principle, but still one wonders - for the Libertarian?

> While Miller is correct in so far as President Obama only got slightly under 30% of estimated voters, that's still more than the 28.4% that the next FOUR people in the election got.
Almost every election in every democratic country ends with the winner getting less than 50%, and often less than 30%, of the eligible voters.
That's elementary, given that voter turnout is usually anywhere between 25% (for some local elections) to 75% (for general elections in rare cases), and even in the latter case the winner would have to take a 67% landslide victory to get above 50% of eligible voters.
I don't recall the RWNJ's had a problem with any Republican President suffering from the same "problem".
But it's a common argument by the (sore) loser.
I've never seen an athlete who was eliminated in the semifinals with a time that would've given him the win in the finals claim that he should be given the gold medal.
