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?

She’s an odd bird. She, at least originally, came at this game from the left.

Attack the messenger. Answer the basic question, where is the birth certificate?

Exactly. This authors poor attempt at smear says it all.

Show the birth certificate.

"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"

It was hardly a military "coup". It was the legislative, judicial and military branches of government all agreeing that their executive had overstepped his authority in a material and dangerous way. They were following their Constitution, their executive office was not.

She’s catching more flack. She must be getting closer to the target.

Orly already has a couple of books' worth ... she doesn't need more exposure ... BUT THE CASE MUST BE UNCEASINGLY EXPOSED

Yea... she’s just crazy... actually expecting someone to provide proof of eligibility that is required by the Constitution

/sarcasm

ANYONE willing to spend $1m to keep people from getting their long form has something SERIOUS to hide

Attack the "nutjob" and ignore the corruption in the courts, and ignore the basic question- Where's your birth certificate Obama?

Who cares about the corrupt justice system, or whether or not Obama is an Usurper who has illegally taken control of the highest office in the nation, and is destroying this constitutional Republic.

Orly Taitz wasn't even born in this country, but she is more a patriotic American than those who attack her for demanding Obama produce the proof that he meets the requirements to hold the position.

Hmmm. 400 stories, yet the MSM has never once asked the boy marxist why he’s spending tax payer money hiding his birth certificate.

Encouraging words from the left. She's such an obvious joke that neither side can get any decent mileage.

An Orly-Taitz-whack-a-mole thread. What potential for fun! Anybody who disagrees with us gets lambasted for trolling an anti-Orly thread. Deal?

(Kidding, I’m kidding - but only about that last part.)

If Birthers are crazy because they want to see Obama’s birth certificate then wouldn't it be incumbent upon a kind and decent person to show them the birth certificate in order to relieve what ails them?

Or do we just keep flinging cheap insults?

I don't know who or what Orly Taitz is.

Sounds like some sort of potato snack or something.

Let me get this straight. This writer complains about her having too much print and he does an article about her? Strange.

LOL! I am trying to warn some of the die-hards about stuff like that last “Affidavit”. Did you get a load of the last paragraph in that? Whew! You know, the day is going to come when they have to give up on Orly, and accept the fact that Obama is an American liberal, not a Kenyan liberal. When that day comes, we are going to have to do the mature thing and welcome them back into civilized society and refrain from telling them we told them so. They will be red-faced and embarrassed enough as it is.

parsy, the forgiving
