ADL lies, smears in "Rage Grows in America: Anti Government Conspiracies" - 11/18/2009

The Anti Defamation League has a new report entitled "Rage Grows in America: Anti‑Government Conspiracies", which contains at least one major lie. And, it's a lie that you probably won't hear anyone else discuss, namely the one in the section about the "Birther" movement (adl.org/special_reports/rage-grows-in-America/birther-movement.asp): Despite the fact that gove...

Judge David Carter makes false assumption, rules against Orly Taitz ("Birther" suit) - 10/29/2009

Yet another Orly Taitz "Birther" lawsuit has failed; Dave Weigel crows about it here. Leaving aside all the many other factors of this story, judge David Carter of the Central District of California in his ruling (link) made a false assumption that shows either bias or inability to understand the fine points of this issue. He says (bolding added): More specifically, Plaintiffs allege tha...

Liza Mundy /WaPo lies about Obama certificate (+SPLC joins in) - 10/06/2009

... three-screen, mostly smear piece on Orly Taitz of the "Birthers" movement. Leaving aside Taitz' various claims, Mundy has a problem with the truth. (Note that she's also the author of a presumably sympathetic biography of Michelle Obama; she whines about the lack of cooperation from the Obama camp at slate.com/id/2202261). Mundy quotes Taitz as saying of Obama's records &...

Taitz client says didn't authorize appeal, but is letter to Land legit? - 9/19/2009

... sanctions against her lawyer, Orly Taitz, a national figure in the “birther” movement - states that Taitz has two weeks from Friday to explain why he shouldn’t impose a $10,000 penalty against the California lawyer. The phone number on the FAX apparently from Rhodes had a time of 13:58 and the phone number on the FAX belonged to a Georgia OfficeMax. However, that store apparently claims suc...

Judge Clay Land shows pro-Obama bias in dismissing Orly Taitz "birther" suit - 9/16/2009

... threatened sanctions against attorney Orly Taitz if she files any future "frivolous" actions with his court. Leaving aside all of the many other issues, Land appears to have clearly shown pro-Obama bias, or at least given him the benefit of the doubt that he didn't give to Taitz. While Obama supporters, the mainstream media, and some in the GOP will certainly disagree, if a judge i...

Maybe John Richardson of Esquire should try some real reporting (Ben Smith, HotAir, Orly Taitz) - 8/12/2009

... it discusses the wacky ways of Orly Taitz, the person some call "Queen of the Birthers". For an important note about her, see [2]. While the Esquire article isn't as bad as it could be in the mocking sense, Richardson might consider that being a real reporter is a higher role than simply being a transcriptionist. In addition to the advice I offered to Kathryn McGarr of the Politico...

Kitty Pilgrim of CNN lies, smears over Obama certificate issue (John Avlon and Errol Louis lie) - 7/21/2009

... hack. The discussion features Orly Taitz and Alan Keyes on one side, and John Avlon and Errol Louis on the other. Rather than trying to get the facts of the matter, Pilgrim persistently engages in mockery, as do Avlon and Louis. Pilgrim first leads off with a summary of the issue; here are the problems with what she says: * She refers to Obama's "birth certificate", saying it shows...
