Always nice when justice is served…especially in the case of birthers.
An Army doctor who disobeyed orders to deploy to Afghanistan because he questioned President Barack Obama’s eligibility to be commander in chief was sentenced by a jury Thursday to six months in a military prison and dismissal from the Army.
The military jury spent nearly five hours deliberating punishment for Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin on Thursday after three days of court martial proceedings at Fort Meade, outside Baltimore.
Lakin was convicted of disobeying orders – he had pleaded guilty to that count – and missing a flight that would have gotten him to his eventual deployment.
[...]
In online videos posted on YouTube, Lakin aligned himself with the so-called “birther” movement that questions whether Obama is a natural-born citizen, as the Constitution requires for presidents, and said he was inviting his own court martial.
Lakin is now asking for leniency, admitting he should not have disobeyed orders despite his strong held birther beliefs. Too late, fool. Lakin milked this entire affair from day one as he sought the cameras and microphones. Whoever was advising this guy should also be punished for it’s hard to imagine how anyone in their right mind could have imagined this sad spectacle ending differently.
It’s not often we get to see stupidity punished so fittingly so when it does happen, a smile or two is more than warranted.
You’re not going to learn much from the following video exchange between Anderson Cooper and Texas State Rep./birther Leo Berman except what you already knew: birthers are blithering idiots. What I found of more interest was how this clip is a classic example of what any attempt to reason with a wingnut/birther/teabagger/Fox News groupie sounds and looks like: an exercise in futility.

I must confess that every now and then I drop by WorldNutDaily to check out what garbage the clowns are spewing out these days. I imagine I do it for the same reason that I pick up and glance through a National Enquirer as I wait in the checkout line at Winn-Dixie. Dumb, idle curiosity…and a deep need to know which celebrity has just given birth to an alien child. Yes, inquiring minds do want to know.
Well, to no surprise, WorldNutDaily is still hacking away at their own version of the alien birth story…the birther craze. These guys just won’t let go. These were the headings for their top stories when I checked in.
WorldNetDaily Exclusive THE BIG LIST of eligibility ‘proofers’ See those who have raised questions about legitimacy of Obama presidency –WND
WorldNetDaily Exclusive Houston asked, ‘Where’s the birth certificate?’ Billboard campaign on presidential eligibility spreads through Texas –WND
WorldNetDaily Exclusive U.S. attorney: Nothing Americans can do about eligibility ‘Fitness of a president is political question for a very good reason’ –WND
After almost two years of this nonsense, there is still a market out there for people who enjoy their news mixed in with a whole bunch of insanity. I imagine the crazies do need something to read too.
Ok, gotta go. I’m holding up the checkout line.

A single video which brings you up to speed on all birther arguments.

It’s important to keep in mind that while we mock birthers (and rightfully so) as part of the lunatic fringe, there are Republican politicians both in and out of Congress who have fed the birther beast (here, here, here and here). Forty-five percent of Republicans now say that they believe Barack Obama to have been born outside of the U.S.
Mainstream conservatives would rather you forget about birthers and never mention them. Don’t let them get away with it. Birtherism is linked to the Republican party in a serious way and it is only proper that you remind them of it at every instance. Let them pay a price for fostering lunacy within their ranks.

Senator David Vitter becomes the latest Republican politician to pay homage to the loony birther crowd.
“I personally don’t have standing to bring litigation in court,” Vitter said. “But I support conservative legal organizations and others who would bring that to court. I think that is the valid and most possibly effective grounds to do it.”
So is Vitter a birther? Sounds like he is but it is just as likely that GOP politicians like Vitter are reluctant to offend the fragile sensibilities of birthers who make up a third of the Republican base. Why upset the nutcases when GOPers are aware that the other two thirds of Republican voters who are not birthers are not bothered in the least by the crazies. They figure that any issue which puts doubt on Obama’s presidency is a good one regardless of its validity.
After all, slime is what Republicans do best.
