Yesterday, a Friend of called Rep. Deal’s office and spoke with his Chief of Staff, Todd Smith, about Deal’s letter to the President of the United States, apparently asking to see his birth certificate or other documents. I think Deal should be censured for this and I hope DUers who agree will write or call their Representatives and suggest it.
1. I asked Mr. Smith if Congressman Deal was going to release the letter he had sent to President Obama and he stated, “not at this time.” I asked...
I've been waiting for this - Judge Clay Land (my love) declines to be recused from Rhodes v. MacDonald. :loveya:
Regrettably, the conduct of counsel Orly Taitz has crossed these
lines, and Ms. Taitz must be sanctioned for her misconduct. After a
full review of the sanctionable conduct, counsel’s conduct leading up
to that conduct, and counsel’s response to the Court’s show cause
order, the Court finds that a monetary penalty of $20,000.00 shall be
imposed upon counsel Orly Taitz as punishment f...
AMUSING UPDATE: Connie Rhodes did not authorize Taitz filing a Motion to Stay Deployment, withdraws it, and says she is filing a complaint with the California Bar for "reprehensible and unprofessional actions" by O RLY.

The judicial smackdown is of truly grand proportions:
Then, implying that the President is either a wandering nomad or a prolific identity fraud crook, she alleges that the President “might have used as many as 149 addresses and 39 social security numbers prior to assuming the office of President.”

has issued a new report. While disturbing, this isn't anything we didn't realize was happening. It does point up the convergence of dangerous extremist groups and their mirror, milder versions like Teabaggers and Birthers. They are the same thing, driven by race and conspiracy fears, and forming a growing force for violence in the Obama era.
Almost 10 years after it seemed to disappear from American life, there are unmistakable signs of a revival of what in the 1990s was commonly called the ...
A look back at how we got to this apex of the "birther" movement and — more frightening still — a road trip into the heart of Obama hater country. Part one in a two-part series.
This is the most frightening thing I have heard in a very long time: According to a poll conducted by the Daily Kos, which I fervently hope is wrong, 28 percent of Republicans believe that President Obama is not an American citizen. Another 30 percent are undecided. A wider survey to be released tomorrow takes that 58 ...

Adelaide man caught up in bid to oust Obama
Dina Rosendorff reported this story on Tuesday, August 4, 2009 18:36:00
The fake Kenyan birth document has been circulated by political opponents of Obama's, called the Birthers, who are out to unseat him.
A growing online community who are against the Birthers quickly picked apart the bogus birth certificate and traced it back to about as far from Kenya as you can get - Thebarton Community Hospital at...

It was a scanned image of a "Certified Copy of Registration of Birth" dated in 1964 for a David Jeffrey Bomford on a genealogy website for the Bomford family. Except that David Jeffrey Bomford wasn't born in Kenya, he was born in South Australia. But what was even more interesting was certain other features of the document as compared to the Kenya certificate.
The names of the registrar and the district registrar were the SAME NAMES as given in the Keny...

A federal judge this morning dismissed the suit filed here by a U.S. Army reservist who says he shouldn't have to go to Afghanistan because he believes Barack Obama was never eligible to be president.
Judge Clay Land sided with the defense, which claimed in its response to Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook's suit, filed July 8 with the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia, that Cook’s suit is “moot” in that he already has been told he doesn’t have to go to Afghanistan, so the relie...
I enjoyed KO's last night, but I think it would have been good if the sequence of events were made clearer. This was a planned maneuver since February, months before Cook ever volunteered to go to Afghanistan as a reservist and, in my opinion, cowardice isn't the main point.
On February 4, 2009 Patrick McKinnion at posted a fun and detailed listing of the latest Birther antics as of that date.

"Super American Grand Jury" Indicts Obama
You've heard of do-it-yourself home decorating, and probably even do-it-yourself recording. But a do-it-yourself grand jury? That would be a little over the top, right?
That is, unless you're convinced the President of the United States isn't a citizen, and are looking to do something about it.
According to a self-style “indictment” dated June 24, a group of 172 concerned citizens declared themselves a “SUPER AMERICAN GRAND JURY” and v...

Money quote: "Obama's defining political trait is the belief that conciliatory rhetoric is a ruthless strategy."
The thing that people haven't figured out about President Obama's conduct of foreign policy is that it's the same as his conduct of domestic policy. Obama believes in the power of negotiation and public dialogue to split his adversaries--Republicans at home, Islamists abroad--and strengthen his own position. Obama's speech in Cairo to the Muslim world was simply the foreign analogue ...

Not that he’s ethnic Hawaiian, in any case, but it’s an argument Birthers like to use that the State of Hawaii would not accept his Certification of Live Birth, and they use Dept. of Hawaiian Home Lands regulations as an example.

Primary Documents
Birth certificates (Certificates of Live Birth and Certifications of Live Birth) and Certificates of Hawaiian Birth are the primary documents used to deter...

I don't believe that America is run by politicians in Washington. I believe it's run by people like us, in places like this. -Tulsa OK, January 29, 2004 We must assure investments in the technology infrastructure — the broadband and wireless access improved and modernized highway, air, and rail transportation systems, and the access to affordable, reliable sustainable energy essential to continuing economic development. We must have a real plan to achieve energy independence. And we need to do so without further damaging our fragile environment. In fact, sustainable energy and so-called green engineering provide major growth opportunities for American ingenuity, and we must move in that direction. - "Real State Of The Union," January 30, 2006 We need to really get to the bottom of the Abramoff scandal, we should have a special prosecutor appointed for that, we really need a congressional investigation of the whole business of the NSA wiretapping and how far that goes, there's been a lot of squirreling around the edges; we've never completed the investigation of 9/11 and whether the administration actually misused the intelligence information it had - the evidence seems pretty clear to me, I've seen that for a long time. I think Americans are best served by a strong 2-party system and that's been out of whack and what I can do in 2006 is try to help the right Democrats get into office and that's what I'm going to do. - "This Week," March 5, 2006 Blogroll DU Journals
