Birther Wars – The Video

Here’s a followup to my birther’s story as well as another example of an issue made to appear as if there are two rational sides. The CNN gal spends the first 3 minutes giving an accurate rundown on the steps taken in authenticating President Obama’s birth certificate. Watch as Orly Taitz and Alan Keyes ignore everything said and just rattle off their ridiculous talking points.
.

.

As I wrote in my last post, the truth does not always lie in the middle or even close to it.  The birthers are insane and what motivates them is not fact but Obama hatred.  As the Daily News guy says in the video, there is no amount of proof which will satisfy these people.

There are not two sides to this issue.  There are the facts and then there are the kooks being led by Esq. Orly Taitz who obtained her law degree online.  And seriously, anyone, and I mean anyone, who believes any of this birther nonsense about Obama’s birth certificate should be forced to wear a dunce cap and write on the blackboard a thousand times, “I AM AN IDIOT”.

    Orly Taitz is a baby attorney who just doesn’t know that once a fact is proven, it’s proven, period the end. Although she was admitted to the California State Bar in 2002, I have to wonder how she passed the morality/ethics/sanity evaluations.

  2. I am in agreement with you, Janine! my previous post said just what I feel! Facts are the truth…once documented…move on! Have a great night, Janine! You too, Mario!

    Well good morning folks. What a way to wake up. After seeing this-again-the feeling I have now is that I am pissed. Really pissed. First of all, this CNN piece was from when, mid last week? It is partially the media’s fault that this is still an issue. They are the ones that give these losers (disrespect intended) their soap box.

    We went over this before. It’s been proven. Done. Next case. I am really sick of this subject. It will not come to anything, so why continue this. It is good news, that’s why. It brings in viewers.

    So not only am I pissed at these birther people, but I’m pissed at the media for allowing this crap to continue. I’m pissed at this insane, inarticulate Orly woman, who has a screw loose or two. She is so out there. She does not even know proper decorum in an interview situation such as this. She speaks over the others, and, I’m pissed at CNN because their commentator does not stop her or attempt to stop her until the segment is over.

    Now I feel better. :D I said what I had to, and I’m moving on. It’s a beautiful day out there. Hope everyone enjoys it.

  4. Say Mario, now I am old and could have a little atherosclerosis and attendant confusion – but I doubt it. Do you remember when the same jag-offs screaming about Obama’s birth certificate were trying to get the law changed so Schwarzenegger could be president? Certainly they had a coalition in Congress. Look, I don’t have anything against Arnold. Even though he isn’t the brightest bulb on the tree. After all, my Italian father thought that Sinatra should have the top job – each to his own. Still this is a season of hypocrisy from sexual peccadilloes, to C Street, to flaps over citizenship. Absurdity thy name is politics.

  5. THIS IS SO RIDICULOUS!

    She opens with 3 minutes of statements supporting the fact that the birth certificates are real…

    So, why does CNN do this piece?

    Next on CNN…

    “We review footage of the moon landing 40 years ago, including brand new photos taken this week from the Lunar Orbitor showing the flag and debris left by the historic Apollo mission…stay tuned for a panel of tin-foil hat wearing theorist who believe the moon landing was staged…”

    I’ve had it with ALL of the cable networks. They are more interested in fanning the flames of conspiracy and controversy than actually reporting the news.

    It makes me miss Walter Cronkite all the more.
