Orly Taitz, the Birther lawyer who released the document that was supposedly a copy of President Obama's Kenyan birth certificate, has now taken to her blog with an angry screed in response to the evidence that her find is in fact a poorly done forgery.
Referring to the discovery that the purportedly Kenyan document was almost certainly based on a copy of a birth certificate issued for an Australian man, David Jeffrey Bomford, Taitz writes, "Recently Obamas thugs in main stream (sic) media came up with this Bomford report in order to stop my efforts in exposing and prosecuting Obama. Though typically I dont have time to waste on each and every dumb obot, since it got to National TV and my children's friends called my children, Ill spend a few minutes to debunk the obots." She continues...
I believe that I dealt fairly with the substance of the birther argument in my original post:
As for the birther movement itself, the issue of the legitimacy of Barack Obama's birth remains theoretically open. It is theoretically possible that his mother or grandmother filed an application falsely alleging a private birth at home in Honolulu which resulted in a Birth Certificate which purported a birth in Hawaii. This document in turn spawned a Certification of Live Birth and two newspaper announcements. All succeeding documents were automatically generated and all succeeding documents were as fraudulent as the initial application. All subsequent pronouncements by the officials of the state of Hawaii properly reflected that proper procedures were followed and correctly recited that the documents show a birth in Honolulu, Hawaii. Hence, garbage in, garbage out and all the garbage was turned out on automatic pilot. That, at any rate, it is the remaining scenario to show the Barack Obama is not a naturall born citizen of the United States.
I am merely stating the obvious, this woman is too unstable to be the public face of conservatism. We have no interest whatsoever in defending her. We may have a great deal of interest in the birther argument, but as I said that in my original post, it is the woman herself whom we much shake off. Every time she opens her mouth she makes herself and those associated with their look more ridiculous. This is a question of perception. Why should the conservative movement compromise its reputation? There are other wars to win in the defense of this woman is a loser.

You could say the same about Palin, GWB, Joe the Plumber, Or anyone else the left attacks and ridicules. I don't see anyone else stepping up to the plate.. The lady said the Kenyan document needed to be verified. Turns out it was a hoax, Just like the one Barry published online.
