Week of October 25, 2009 - October 31, 2009

Birthers actively urging violence against Obama, federal judge.


This is straight from the Web site of the birther queen, Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq.:

Friday, October 30, 2009 12:15 PM From: "David Pautsch" 

Good job, David.  Such wickedness needs to be exposed when patriots like my son have died to preserve the very liberties people like Obama and Carter are selling off wholesale.  The penalty for treason and traitors used to be the death penalty and, in England, the punishment meant being hanged, drawn and quartered. This is clearly appropriate here.

What can be done now?  I don't know.  Any ideas?

All I know is that I love the hope-giving quote you shared:  During the Revolutionary War, 70% of the people were either loyal to the British Crown or apathetic--the other 30% formed a new nation.

David Pautsch, President/CEO

I'm all for free speech. But just like you can't yell "fire!" in a crowded theater, you can't agitate for the hanging of our president or a federal judge. These people have abused their rights and are acting irresponsibly, at best.

It's one thing that this fellow wrote this. I know from personal experience that all comments on Taitz' Web site are approved by either her or her designee (I have commented several times, none of which have been approved). So she has as much culpability as anyone if some nutcase decides to make a statement for this "movement."

As an attorney, Taitz is an officer of the court. Certainly there are attorney ethics rules that speak to this behavior.

When will the feds take note of this and do something about it? Hopefully,before it's too late.

Keep the faith.

Are Birthers willing to get violent?


This was posted on Dr. orly Taitz, Esq. Web site earlier today. This came after word was released that Taitz' Barnett v. Obama suit had been trashed by a federal judge:

"Bring it on Friday, October 30, 2009 2:02 PM From: "Brian C" To: "Orly Taitz" <dr_taitz@yahoo.com>

If it takes riots in the streets to stand for the Constitution and kick an illegitimate President out of office, then bring it on.   The civil war took close to 600,000 largely white men to bring freedom for all.   Freedom  from Tyranny costs a great price as always.  The usurper could have avoided it all if he was an honest man. That makes two reasons to legally kick him out.   Friends of Truth"

If you read some of the crap that Taitz has written about Obama on her site, it's not too hard to imagine that she could whip up some mouth-breather to a violent rage.

And I guess "Friends of Truth" seem to think that's just all right.

This is what it sounds like when the ultra-right speaks, folks. Let's hope it's just hot air.

Keep the faith.

Barnett v Obama dismissed!


Judge Land in California tossed the suit, and suggested that Birther "attorney" Dr, Orly Taitz may have violated ethics regulations by encouraging her mouth-breathers to call and write the judge.

Nothing yet on her site, but I'm sure the claims of treason aren't far away.

Keep the faith.

Michael Savage, hypocrite


Just caught a little of the bloviator tonight, but some things he said bear analysis.

When I tuned in, Savage was blathering about a program on HBO called, "Curb Your Enthusiasm," starring "Seinfeld" creator Larry David. Apparently, Savage saw an episode in which religion was mocked.

He went on for a while about how David is a self-hating Jew, along the lines of Woody Allen, according to him. i guess if you are part of a religion and make fun of it, you're self-hating. Whatever.

And for the record, I think Savage has the self-hate market covered. But I digress.

What caught me about this program is that Savage called for a boycott of HBO for its airing of the program. Now, parts of his rant were blocked out by WOR in New York, but you could tell what he said by the context.

This is interesting, because Savage railed about how his free speech was being abridged back when the Council on American and Islamic Relations called for a boycott of Savage's program sponsors.

So the "Guardian of Free Speech" once again shows that he's all for freedom of expression, as long as he's the one doing the expressing.

You're a hypocrite, Savage.

Keep the faith.

Bio

I’m a journalist working at the New Jersey Shore but based in Central New Jersey, where I live with my wife and our dog and cat. During my career, I've been responsible for two pieces of legislation enacted in New Jersey: one that allowed every fire department and fire academy in New Jersey to receive, free, a thermal imaging camera, and the second, which created a searchable Web database through which consumers could research nursing homes and their owners, and have access to reports of violations and other information. My reporting also led to the requirement that Supreme, Superior and Tax Court justices and judges file the same kind of financial disclosure forms as every other elected and appointed official in New Jersey. I was also part of a two-reporter team that exposed massive increases in the cost to close the U.S. Army's Fort Monmouth. I have also written a book, “Savage Lies: The Half-Truths, Distortions and Outright Lies of a Right-Wing Blowhard,” which deconstructs the first three books written by right-wing talk radio host Michael Savage. The book is available at Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com and can be ordered wherever books are sold.
