I'm not even going to listen. That face is enough.

No man you gotta watch it, she's even crazier then you even think. She's literally hysterical.

citrusmirakel
So, by "literally hysterical", you mean that Orly Taitz has a dysfunctional uterus?

Actually, you know that would make sense why you'd start this Quixotic journey involving birth certificates.

4:50 Coulter actually is an attorney. Nice try.

Wow, I didn't believe you when you said Coulter herself called Orly crazy.

Pot calling the kettle black, but still. Damn, yo.

her voice is beyond the capability of autotune

She already is, round the clock. It's the only way her voice can hit so many shrill notes in a single phrase.

Respectfully disagree.

The Truthers are way more dangerous. Saying Obama wasn't properly vetted for candidacy of the President of the United States, or the entire space agency decided "fuck it, let's stage this" are the kind of nuts who post Youtube video evidence that our elected leaders and celebrities are really Reptilian aliens bent on world domination.

Truthers, on the other hand, believe the Government is actively trying to attack them to fuel a insurgence into a foreign country for monetary and territorial gain is a little more scary for a couple reasons:

One, the invasion of Iraq does have some credible evidence of faulty (or fabricated, depending on who you believe) information claiming there was an immanent and overwhelming danger. This makes it seem that the Afghanistan War could also have been a sinister plot to... wait... what would invading Afghanistan accomplish if we actually didn't care about finding Bin Laden? Anyway, it would have been something evil I'm sure.

Two, Osama hasn't been found. What's better, in these people's minds, than keeping the Emmanuel Goldstein of the Middle East alive and hidden other than letting us sheeple rally around a false-flag? I'm not saying that any of what the Truthers tell us has any shred of logic or credibility to it. It's just, on the surface, much easier to be tricked into believing that our Government is maliciously treating its citizens as pawns in an attempt at global domination.

Of course, thinking that Obama is a seekrit musloom who traveled back in time to plant newspaper announcements of his birth is pretty close to the insanity of the Bush and Clinton administration collaborating on running planes into the WTC, the Pentagon, and the ground. And that's why I respectfully disagree. Because, deep down, I think we're dealing with the same wackos.

Toenails
And of course by "immanent" I mean "imminent".

Unless the threat posed by Saddam Hussein had some sort of divine presence.

I merely wanted to commend Toenails' use of enumeration and a deductive essay format.

Toenails:

I follow conspiracy theories regularly. I don't believe most of them, but I think I should disagree with you regarding a few things.

At first I, too, thought that 9/11 truthers were more dangerous to society in that it presented the U.S. government and all of its employees as murderous evil bastards. I also thought that it was a grave insult to the people who died in the attacks and those who served in the subsequent wars when you say the entire scenario is an evil farce.

I figured birthers were just a wacky cottage industry that wouldn't pick up any real movement, not when it's so easily refuted with a few clicks and keystrokes' worth of research. I felt that the movement would eventually run out of steam and besides, there really wasn't any harm done by it anyway.

Then I realized a birther is far more like to shoot someone than a truther.

StanleyPain
I've got to agree. She's crazy and the birthers are retarded, but this was just some dumb show act. They could have let her talk if they had wanted her to, and then that way she'd have looked worse. (i.e. the Colbert interview where he actually let her finish her thoughts)

Xenocide
She was NEVER going to finish her thoughts. She was filibustering (though perhaps not intentionally, as a lot of that sounded like stream-of-consciousness rambling) and you can't just let your show be turned into her platform like that. She was less hysterical with Colbert because she's probably deluded enough to think he actually agrees with her.

It's true, though, MSNBC is basically putting on a show with the birthers. They're hilarious, they make the GOP look bad, no one takes them seriously, and they get ratings. It's win-win.

The Colbert interview:

http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/229691/ july-28-2009/womb-raiders---orly-taitz

She let Colbert interrupt her left and right, but only because he wasn't challenging her idiocy. He's not "real" news, though, so he can play her for laughs; "legitimate" newsmen have a certain obligation to press her for proof. She is, after all, encouraging sedition -- as Colbert points out, her team is out to get rid of Obama by any means necessary, and she certainly doesn't deny it.

"they made no effort to make the discussion anything worth listening to."

Orly Taitz.

ORLY TAITZ. What could they have possibly discussed with her that would've been "worth listening to"? Best case scenario: she blathers on and on about stupid conspiracy theory, newsfolk call her a dipshit and point out the dipshittedness of said theory, Orly waffles some more.

No matter what she says, it's going to come out retarded. No matter the question, no matter the forum, no matter the interviewer: retarded. Why bother with "discussion" when you're essentially directing questions at a five-foot-something lump of equine with a broken record brain?

When she said "Brownshirts", I immediately thought she was referring to Joss Whedon fans.

Until the GOP recognizes it's no longer politically useful to cling to the lunatic base for dear life.

So, like, two days after the 2012 election.

You don't think the 2006 and 2008 elections were enough proof? These people have a problem with learning lessons.
