Does Orly Taitz Need Any More Publicity?
Washington City Paper ^ | 10/6/09 | Jason Cherkis

Posted on 10/06/2009 1:28:47 PM PDT by steve-b

Today, the Washington Post published a long profile of Orly Taitz. This is the nut job that's leading the birther movement. Taitz helms a very leaky swift boat. We should be forgetting her right about now.

Taitz was news or newsy this past summer. But why do we need a big story on her in October? Her power is only derived from free media attention. Did I mention that she's a nutjob?

A quick Nexis check reveals that Taitz has been mentioned, chronicled, and/or written about more than 400 times before WaPo decided to profile her. Other newspapers wrote about her more than 150 times. I'm not even going to delve into the number of blog items on this crazy. Let's just say she is very old news.

Meanwhile, there are far more powerful crazies that are worth the Post's attention like Sen. Jim DeMint and his travels to Honduras to support the military coup. The Post has devoted 556 words from one staff writer to the DeMint story.

Why bother with Ms. Taitz when the Daily Show got to her in July?

No one article by the media. No one article even questioning it. BTW - were are the ACORN troll/ZOTs? This message has been up for a while.

No, she ain’t the potato chip, she’s the “dip.” She’s the head birther attorney and she is a loon. Her pleadings are generally crapola and sound like they are written by an 8 year old. If she loses, she starts calling judges names. Oh, its just a mess.

parsy, who says she reminds him of an Ed Wood movie

Wonder where this $1M figure comes from ..... recent reports I’ve read say that it’s government lawyers showing up i.e. paid for by you and me.

That’s damned annoying.

“The tendency to refer to oneself in the third person is often viewed by psychologists as a symptom of narcissism.”

These liberals think that we are all ignorants.

I only wish that the USA judicial and military have the guts to do the same thing when the time comes.

Good comparison. Another nut who got nowhere with delusional demands.

Don’t know old this dude is but it is proported he writes at least some of the stuff for her.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/10/05/AR2009100503819.html .. Burden of Proof

......It’s a lot to take on, but she has help; assisting with her legal filings is Charles E. Lincoln III, a disbarred lawyer and self-described “anarchist.” Leaving the office, Lincoln gets in the back seat and Taitz maneuvers her Lexus through the tidy “Real Housewives”-type landscape to a bakery with outdoor seating. For five hours she will discuss her legal crusade, eventually moving to lunch at T.G.I. Friday’s. .... end snip

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Typical Marxist “Nut and Slut” strategy.

I bet Larry Flint's minions are digging through Orly's trash looking for any evidence ( regardless of how slim) for the “Slut” part of the attack.

"If Birthers are crazy because they want to see Obama’s birth certificate..."

That's not why they said she was a nutjob.

As if we didn't need more proof of the author's political bent.

Just reinforces what I’ve thought about her all along. I have worked in courtrooms and am a paralegal student. I have written more coherent homework assignments than she has submitted to the court. She is not a hero. She is a publicity hog.
