Looks like Donald Trump is taking his birtherism to the next level -- by soliciting advice from birther czar Joseph Farah.
Kendra Marr of Politico reports that Farah says he and Trump talked every day this week, and he has been advising Trump on the basics of birtherism. "We've have been speaking quite a bit," Farah said.
Since he started maybe-running for president, Trump has repeatedly questioned the legitimacy of President Obama's U.S. birth. Conspiracy theories about Obama's birth certificate have been repeatedly debunked, but that hasn't stopped Trump from speculating that the President's grandparents planted a birth announcement in a Hawaii newspaper to get government benefits like welfare and hospitalization.
According to Marr, Farah said he offered to give Trump a tutorial in birtherism once Trump started publicly asking questions about President Obama's birth certificate. "His people were very quick to respond," Farah said.
If there was any question about Trump's legitimacy as a presidential candidate, his association with Farah should answer it. As the founder and editor of the influential right-wing "news" site WorldNetDaily (WND), Farah has continued to give the birther issue oxygen, long after it was abandoned by mainstream conservatism.
This week Farah admitted WND publishes "some misinformation by columnists." Farah was responding to questions from Salon's Justin Elliott about WND's repeated (and erroneous) claim that Obama has spent $2 million on a legal team to fight the birther lawsuits, a claim that was eventually picked up by Trump.
With Trump, Farah has found someone who gets enough publicity to bring the birther issue back to the forefront. Farah wrote recently on his website: "And so it is in 2011, in the USA, when suddenly, with childlike innocence and a natural-born sense of curiosity, billionaire and would-be presidential candidate Donald Trump shouted from a media pedestal no one could ignore, 'Look, the emperor has no birth certificate!'"
Farah doesn't stop with birtherism, though. He's also questioned whether Obama is a Christian: "Here's the truth: Obama is not a Christian. He doesn't even know what it means to be a Christian."
And he's said a few inflammatory things about gay people too, comparing speaking to the gay conservative group GOProud with addressing the KKK, calling for conservatives to "purge" the movement of GOProud and gay rights supporters, and saying that "German-style Nazism was a pagan, homosexual cult."
Farah and WND have been rejected by the broader conservative movement. They were barred from holding a panel on birther issues at the Conservative Political Action Conference in 2009, and haven't been welcomed back since.
This year WND ran an article theorizing that CPAC had been infiltrated by Muslims.
TPM readers may also remember that WND was behind a book about how the Council On American Islamic Relations (CAIR) allegedly used interns to secretly infiltrate Capitol Hill offices, written by a man who posed as a Muslim to get an internship at CAIR. Four House Republicans picked up the claims from the book, called Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That's Conspiring to Islamize America. As Farah describes it, it exposes the "international cabal working on behalf of Saudi-style Shariah law right here in America."
Has anybody visited his website?
Has he anything to say about Trump?
I've even heard speculation Jimi H wuz his daddybaby.

Those tastes of brews go around and come around in cycles. I see it coming back around soon.
This whole Trump thing feels like how Obama came to power
ie: Constitutional Eligibilty of the President Of The United States.
It's being ignored by many.
I understand your hunger.
Thanks. I wonder if that bill allows eligibility to be challenged in court. That’s probably the most important part, because then the evidence would have to comply with evidentiary standards and documents could be subpoenaed (which is necessary in Obama’s case since Hawaii refuses to obey their law saying that certified COPIES - not just abstracts of information - of the long-form BC SHALL be issued upon request).
If Obama’s birth and citizenship records are subpoenaed, including the transaction logs and complete vital records history for each record, somebody will have to answer for those passport file breaches in early 2008, for the alteration of the HDOH records, the SSN problem, etc. According to the report at http://oig.state.gov/documents/organization/109112.pdf all the records are important for determining whether (and how) a fraud has been perpetrated.
As others have said, it’s not just about the birth certificate. EVERY DOCUMENT this guy supposedly has shows signs of tampering and/or fraud. That whole picture needs to be sorted out.
It would have been better if the fraud and crimes had been investigated by law enforcement, but we don’t have any law enforcement at this point - at least not where politicians are concerned. That’s what comes from having AG’s, US Attorneys, and judges all as POLITICAL positions - dependent on schmoozing with the politicians that they are in turn supposed to be whistle-blowers against. Yeah, right. It’s a recipe for exactly the crap sandwich that we’ve got right now.
Donald Trump is certainly no William Wallace (I just can't picture him in one of those warrior outfits, wielding a sword and shield, yelling "Freedom!") but he has at the very least caused people to question the veracity of The Won. That being said, I still don't trust his motives.
Far from it
"Ultimately, the DPH's rejection of Obama was due to a refusal by Obama to make available the original documented evidence confirming his eligibility. However, this justifiable lack of certification by the DPH was followed by a covert attempt by the Democratic National Committee, chaired by Nancy Pelosi, to artificially proclaim Obama eligible in Hawaii by submitting two separate, sworn Official Certifications of Nomination (OCON) for Obama, each containing different legal language. Both versions of the OCON were sent to the Hawaiian Office of Elections while only one version was submitted to other states' Election authorities. The DNC's fraudulent OCON was an obvious, desperate attempt to control damage and prevent Obama from being disqualified from the Hawaiian ballot and prevent public awareness of the DPH's refusal to certify Obama's eligibility."
Lets hang the SOB on the crimes=s he is committing before our eyes.
BTW I am starting a pool.
When’s his NEXT VACATION?
You’re very welcome, and if you are getting the word out there to others then it is me who needs to thank you. (So thank you!) It’s because of people like you, in the trenches to get the truth out there, that more and more people have understood the importance of this in spite of the ridicule of the media and politicians. I hope you realize how critical you are to the process, and how we all as a team are making a difference. =)
Butter, as you know, I am a huge fan. Can you clear up this devil’s advocacy for me? Thinking about the date filed thingy and the Nordyke twins, is it at all possible that the BCs come in to be processed and are placed in the inboxes of the clerks, and one clerk was faster at filing his than the other, and that is why the Nordyke twins’ BCs have earlier numbers? Could that be an explanation? I hope not, because I’d like to believe this was a smoking gun, but just wondering.
They are not crimes if he's 1) elected by the people
2)the Constitution is no longer valid.
Boehner could show us that the US Constitution is still valid by demanding that Obama prove he is constitutionally eligible.
Boehner has showed me he sucks.
Rush is leaning that way.
I still dont like trump
Check out the Live Thread here at Free Republic when Obama was the keynote speaker at the DNC Convention. (clickable link below)
How and why does Obama come from nowhere and end up speaking at the convention? Someone has plans for him!1,794 posted on Tuesday, July 27, 2004 9:53:39 PM by tapatio
Might as well start where the documentation EXISTS!
The Pelosy Schemescam DNC declarations of state eligibility EXIST! They are hard evidence!
Hard and Factual!
Why did Pelosy submit two different legal documents?
He goes to Ireland next month.
