Orly Taitz gets her own blog

[BigAl]

Orly's blog is loon-central for Obama conspiracy stuff. Now you don't have to watch WorldNetDaily to see what she is up to.

That freakshow makes Judy Wood look almost sane.

She thinks Osama bin Laden is going to show up in the U.S. with a fake Hawaii birth certificate and buy the next Presidential election.

Let me get this right: the Caliphate does not feel the need to conquer China.

Am I close to Ms Gellar's thesis?

Somewhere in Texas, there is a guy who can't believe that he let that loon actually work on his teeth.

Geller, she's not related to Buffy.

Since we're in the middle of the conservative blogger war I can tell you that I consider her a very dim bulb. She's getting caught up with some very distasteful Europeans over this "no enemies in the war on Islamofascism" crap.

Orly Taitz? Surely that has to be a made-up name.
Reminds me of Kavos beach.

Where's a pic of the ORLY owl when you need one?

A good blog which you might like is Yes To Democracy (www.yestodemocracy.com), which I sometimes post on. I remember my only first hand encounter with one of the birthers was at a town hall type meeting with Sen. McCaskill of MO. There was one dude, ironically the first question, who brought up the no birth certificate nonsense. It was the only time in my life that I did the reverse face palm. I was taping it for my college TV station and turned around towards the wall and actually face palmed when he asked his question. It started out bad "I work at a liscense office and the people wanting a license need to show a birth certificate ( at the point I saw it comming {a MDC award? nah!}) and I want to know why the President of the United States doesn't have to show his!" at which point the white trash of the crowd cheered. I was mortified because I was upset that the Joplin, MO crowd was so stupid.


Nevertheless, the type of CT nonsense will be forgetton for the most part, and it already is falling apart. Given that her original webmaster has turned against her. Still it is bothersome to me to hear someone on the bus who believes that crap ask "why won't someone just kill him already" in reference to the President. I am tired of her crap, and amusing though it may be it runs the risk of crazies taking this crap seriously.

What's the difference between Orly Taitz and Andrew Sullivan, the ringleader of the "Trig Truther" (http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2008/11/the-odd-lies-of.html) wing of the Birthers?

Andrew Sullivan gets published in the most prestigious newspapers and magazines in the world, and his blog is read by President Obama himself (http://politics.theatlantic.com/2009/04/the_president_needs_his_dish.php). In fact, Obama just recently repeated a stupid mistake (http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2009/05/023471.php) that Sullivan made:

I was struck by an article that I was reading the other day talking about the fact that the British during World War II, when London was being bombed to smithereens, had 200 or so detainees. And Churchill said, 'We don't torture,' when the entire British--all of the British people--were being subjected to unimaginable risk and threat....the reason was that Churchill understood -- you start taking shortcuts, over time, that corrodes what's best in a people. It corrodes the character of a country.

Of course, this flummoxed British historians (http://richardlangworth.com/2009/04/obama-misquotes-churchill/) who could not find that "We don't torture" anywhere in Churchill's writing or speeches.

While it’s nice to hear the President invoke Sir Winston, the quotation is unattributed and almost certainly incorrect. While Churchill did express such sentiments with regard to prison inmates, he said no such thing about prisoners of war, enemy combatants or terrorists, who were in fact tortured by British interrogators during World War II.

DOH!

umm.. Sullivan is in another universe from Orly Taitz.

I've never seen him push a CT for one.

He also has more than 9 functioning brain cells and can self-correct.

Your political prejudices notwithstanding - they are entirely different creatures.

The fact Sullivan made a historical error is insufficient evidence to support your claim that they are similar.

Only a Republican teenager could be devious enough to have a baby in April and then another one in December!

Ah, that's where you're wrong. I suggest you Google "Trig Truther". Then maybe you'll understand why I wrote my post.

[Praktik]

No - I read the whole saga.

He's even offered up the fact he could be wrong about it. Which is not something you hear from your average CT die hards. And I'm not sure that it's on the same level as a Birther, or a 9/11 truther.

In the early days with the evidence he was working with it was a possible explanation - he has since refined his approach and admitted the possibility of error as time went on.

Andrew fell back on the "I'm just asking questions," (http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2008/11/the-odd-lies-of.html) routine familiar to us from so many conspiracy theorists when he started getting pushback on his nutty theories.

And where in the MSM did anyone report that Trig was not her biological son? All I did was ask questions - and never received any proof of anything.

And:

On the Trig question, I tried for two months to get some kind of basic, evidentiary proof. I asked publicly; I asked privately; the McCain campaign simply refused to give any actual records and attacked the press merely for asking questions.

Yes, he did say he might be wrong, but it was in this context (http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2008/12/a-fourth-pictur.html):

I begged the McCain campaign by private email and in a private meeting to give me something - anything - to kill the story off. I promised to run any evidence that would blow this out of the water. That offer still stands. Please make me look like an idiot for asking these questions.

Of course, Andrew didn't need any help with that.

We see the usual "sacred list" nonsense (http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2008/08/births-at-mat-s.html) that is always the rage among Troofers:

Trig was born there on April 18, 2008, we are told. For what it's worth, here's the online list of births at Mat-Su on that date.

What was it you said? "Your political prejudices notwithstanding...."

[Praktik]

Still, I dont see an equivalency. You're using this one issue to paint Andrew with the "flake" brush, meanwhile his writing is much more cogent, thoughtful and engaging than anything this Taitz woman could produce.

Whether its his reverence for Oakeshotte, his interesting debates with Sam Harris on faith versus atheism, his impasssioned pleas for compassionate drug policy - Taitz couldn't hold a candle to the calibre of thought Sullivan produces.

But go ahead - I understand his positions on the Iraq war and torture are likely opposed to yours so if it makes it easier to dismiss him and anything produced by him you're free to put your fingers in your ears and yell NA NA NA anytime someone posts a view from Sullivan.

Orly is only known for kooky thoughts. Andrew Sullivan is known for being a neo-Goldwater conservative that the lefties like to flaunt whenever he criticizes the neo-Puritans. He gets 5 minutes of fame whenever he says anything negative about the GOP basically.

The two couldn't be more different. He indulged a kooky line of thought probably because he so vehemently hates the neo-Puritan wing of the GOP and probably saw Palin as its vapid and non-intellectual embodiment. I'll give him a pass.
