Or maybe she’s just the world’s most incompetent lawyer.

I know I wouldn’t let her work on my teeth, that’s for damn sure.

I’m a bit discouraged by the amount of hatred towards anyone with a conservative leaning.

I am sorry you feel that way, but on the other hand, just how much civility do liberals get on conservative sites? When they’re not de facto banned, I mean?
Go ahead, make a “liberal” comment on Hot Air or Ace of Spades and see how you get treated.

Right Ron, you are a Marine, sell it somewhere else. Next thing you’ll say is you have a college degree. Dream on…..

This is the first time I have ever posted at a liberal blog. I’m a bit discouraged by the amount of hatred towards anyone with a conservative leaning. I, and many of my friends, do not consider every liberal or democrat a bumbling idiot who deserves to be put down at every turn. Why is there so much anger towards people you may not see eye to eye with? I will say though that this woman is a complete moron, and to think that Obama was born outside the U.S. is just beyond dumb.

EDITOR: PLEASE USE THIS REVISED VERSION OF MY POST. THANK YOU.

RE: Jaim July 30, 2009 at 12:35 am ‘That said, it’s strange that the crazy Russian woman keeps harping on the citizenship of Obama’s father. Because if this was actually what the Constitution said, we’d also have to invalidate George Washington (United States didn’t even exist yet, so citizenship for his parents would have been impossible).’

. . .

FYI: US CONSTITUTION: ‘No Person except a natural born Citizen, ***or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution,*** shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.’

. . .

So… The men that formed the US Constitution, the Founding Fathers- and, for that matter, in general, virtually any group of people who form/found a nation- are, of course, essentially the 1st citizens of the nation. Thereafter, the requirement for official national citizenship goes for people born after the formation/founding of the nation to be born in said nation. So, of course, the 1st generation always gets in on official citizenship; as for the parents, it’s a matter of being a resident in the US committed to the US as a 1st generation US citizen.

“Obama is posing as a 119 year old man from Connecticut.”

Good God, the Marine Corps doesn’t have mental health checkups on its members?

“Obama is posing as a 119 year old man from Connecticut. Personal ridicule won’t change that fact”

What fact? the fact that you are a Timothy McVeigh wannabe?

Trying to humiliate her, this is Saul Alinsky’s Tactic of Escalation, Freeze, Isolate and Humiliate anyone who is not ashamed to speak up and disagree. Type “Little Red Book Tactic” into Google. Then type “NAKED COMMUNIST EXCERPTS.” Learn what our modern college professors adopted as a teaching tool. People must be shamed and ridiculed constantly when they dare to disagree. Obama is posing as a 119 year old man from Connecticut. Personal ridicule won’t change that fact – but keep trying.

To all the birthers in La, La Land, it is on you to prove to all of us that your assertion is true, if there are people who were there and support your position then show us the video (everyone has a price), either put up or frankly shut-up. I heard Orly Taitz, is selling a tape (I think it’s called “Money, Lies and Video tape”). She is from Orange County, CA, now I know what the mean when they say “behind the Orange Curtain”, when they talk about Orange County, the captial of Conspiracy Theories. You know Obama has a passport, he travel abroad before he was a Senator, but I guess he fooled them too?

Well, all I can say is if both your parents have to be natural born citizens for you to be one as well, as opposed to, oh I don’t know, being born on US soil, then I guess that resolves any issues with immigrant children born here. Or maybe she’s just upset Arnold can never be president. Or maybe she’s just the world’s most incompetent lawyer.

Did she say Barack has a Soc Sec number that says he’s 190 years old? Didn’t we start issuing SSN’s in the 1930’s, just 70 years ago? How many 120 year old’s were given SSN’s in the New Deal? Don't bother her with your liberal "facts." She's rolling.. Any self-professed lawyer must know about the 14th Amendment, right? Right? One would think. And again, Orly, can we see your birth certificate? Green card? How can we be sure SHE isn't an illegal?

@Jaim: Yeah, that seems inexplicable unless you assume a racist message. Any self-professed lawyer must know about the 14th Amendment, right? Right?

It’s funny how Jay Tea throws a fit every time we simply point out how loony the GOP has become.

“B–b–but, that’s the part of the party that nobody pays attention to!” This spoken by a guy who knows that a drug addicted racist like Limbaugh is the de facto party leader.

Keep it up, Jay Tea. You’re doing wonders for your hopes in 2012.

That said, it’s strange that the crazy Russian woman keeps harping on the citizenship of Obama’s father. Because if this was actually what the Constitution said, we’d also have to invalidate George Washington (United States didn’t even exist yet, so citizenship for his parents would have been impossible).

I watched that clip and watched it again.

I’m not so sure she understands that Colbert is doing a shtick and that he is making fun of her.

I think she buys it.

Wow!

That’s really scary.

“Now that they’ve been instrumental in bringing this stupid non-issue to the forefront they then want to attempt to make the people who believe that crap part of mainstream conservatism when it clearly is not.”

Tell that to your Republican representatives in Congress who have refused to discredit the birthers as a bunch of fringe lunatics. Instead, they just dance around the issue by saying bullshit like, “well there are still questions to be answered…” or “I have no reason to believe he’s not a citizen, but…”

The difference between your example of Obama not denying the Trig Palin rumors is that Obama was not specifically asked about them. YOUR Republican representatives, the people who are the image of mainstream conservatism, have been asked about this, point blank. And they have completely REFUSED to denounce the claims as lunacy. Even far-right nutjobs like Bill O’Reilly, Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin have denounced the birthers, so why can’t the “mainstream” conservatives?

Re: SSNs – Orly claims to have research from internet databases that show hundreds of SSNs associated with Barack and Michelle’s names and multiple addresses and jobs associated with such SSNs. For a while she claimed this was proof that they were fraudulently holding no-show jobs that aren’t being reported for tax purposes. She claims one SSN that is used most often by Barack (based on these databases) was issued to someone born in Connecticut and who would be 119 today. Supposedly Barack’s grandmother volunteered at the Probate Court in HI and “stole” these numbers from dead people.

RE: the taped interview – from what she posted about her interview last week it was scheduled by Colbert’s people to be pre-taped yesterday at 2 PM. From her performances on TV and in interviews I would think Colbert expected her to be out of control and probably better to pre-tape and edit then have her out of control and have to cut her off. Orly claimed in a posting before the show that they taped for over an hour.

From over at Balloon Juice:

Commenter Eric K summarizes the birther issue perfectly:

“50 years ago you shouted nigger, 30 years ago you talked about States Rights, now you ask to see the president’s birth certificate.”

The “If you don’t denounce it you support” idiocy.

It worked so well for your team.

Oh, that’s right, you’re not a Republic. I keep forgetting.
