....The theory is, of course, ludicrous. But it's worth noting just to point out how absurd some of the Birthers' favorite sources really are. The man behind this twist is James David Manning, the pastor of ATLAH Worldwide Missionary Church in Harlem, which he founded. He's probably most known for having called Obama a "long legged mack daddy." That started the Birthers' love affair with him, and he's been a presence in the movement ever since -- it doesn't hurt that he's a black man who says racist things about Obama.
He was there for their big press conference in 2008, and he and members of his congregation were basically the only people who showed up for Orly Taitz's big protest against Fox News in November of last year.The video is below.
The whole thing is silly, but the best part may be that Manning's central assertion is that Obama worked as a CIAÂ liasion to the Taliban during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in the 1980's. The Taliban didn't exist until the 1990's, after the Soviets left....

I’m not sure. Can Muslims eat squirrel?
parsy, who could use the money
Actually, I suspect it is the lack of a waist, the grizzled look, and your condescending insulting nasty demeanor which make it suspect that you’re a woman in full. [That’s your cue to claim to have born at least one child, though artificial insemination still looms as a possibility.] You have a nice evening ya he’uh.
Well I guess someone is wearing their grumpy pants tonight.
I am unaware of any major religion precluding consumption of the wild and terrible squirrel. That is, if you have the courage to catch one.
Don’t some religions have a prohibition against cloven tails, or something like that. Or a rodent clause, like “Eat thee not of the rat, for the wages thereof are sin, and thou shalt becometh lame in thy hinderparts”.
parsy, who could swear he heard that somewhere
I downloaded the video to save it for posterity. Ten years or so from now, there will be Birther Denialists, who will swear this movement never happened. Some Birthers will claim they were just following Orly Taitz’s orders and are not responsible.
Someone must document this madness.
parsy, who doesn’t want to miss the zanyness of it all, though, either
And I stand corrected.
ATLAH Ministries, 38 West 123rd Street, New York, NY. 10027
Great google street view too! I wonder what the rent is?
Some Birthers will claim they were just following Orly Taitz?s orders and are not responsible.
Yes, and vee vill try them for Var Crimes! Vee vill ask zee questions. Zee birthers must be exterminated!
Now that you mention it, I had an idea that could make us some money and help the good old USA in the process. We could do a cruise ship thing for Birther Units to Kenya to see Obama’s birthplace. You know, have an on board band, The Natural Born Citizens, to entertain.
Activities like creative tin foil hat making. Stand up comedians like Dr. Manning. Every time he comes out with “Long Legged Mack Daddy”, the Birthers will be rolling in the aisles. We demand a copy of their long form and a social security card to go.
Anyway, we take them to Kenya, and while they are off the ship, we haul *ss back here. I figure the lions will get most of them. We come back here, sell the birth certificates and social security cards to the illegal Mexicans.
parsy, who says, dude, we could like retire!
We need a graphic for The Natural Born Citizens band. Something appropriate to the birther narrative.
Activities like creative tin foil hat making.
And foreign birth certificate forgery for dummies.
Stand up comedians like Dr. Manning.
And don't forget Orly. She'll be good for plenty of laughs.
Oh, and can you believe that circus between her and ex-boy friend, the dis-barred lawyer and legal assistant. OMG!
parsy, who says no one could make this stuff up
The band would have to be a punk rock and polka combo to accommodate the wide range of birthers.
parsy, who loves Open Country on the TV. Darn good range of alternative country.
Actually, Parsi, I like Classical music and play a classical guitar. Aren’t you a bit over your head trying to ridicule that which you cannot comprehend?
“Aren’t you a bit over your head trying to ridicule that which you cannot comprehend?
That’s never stopped me yet!
parsy, the honest
Oh, and BTW. Can I get a little left thumb advice from you? And, before you say it, no, I ain’t putting it there!
I have been trying to unlearn my lousy hand position that I have had since 1970. Been looking at all kinds of things on internet and youtube. Figure classical players are best guitar players and I am too old to go there, but I do have time to get better than I am at Puff the Magic Dragon, Tangled Up in Blue type stuff.
Is it permissible to turn your thumb parallel to the neck on open C’s and F’s. And is your thumb ever supposed to be bent back?
Seriously.
parsy, who says did you know Concerto de Aranjuez had words??? The second movement I think, not the Gentle Hombre part
I dunno. I suspect it falls somewhere between pigmeat and dogmeat. Have to waterboard a mullah to know for sure.
“I’m not sure. Can Muslims eat squirrel?”
If it’s stamped ‘Halal’.
sharon, who hasn’t enjoyed squirrel.
I liked your doll idea. Make millions and stick with what you know. And the ‘blank face’ idea for the grassy knoll doll is free from me to you. As to hand arrangement, you’re probably too old now to change efficiently. But if you go to old video of Segovia, you’ll see how it is supposed to be placed for max reach across the wider fret board of a classic guitar. I too am lacking in exact placement, but my right hand work is fine still, even at 64.
