...Really? Who are these people? You can disagree with most of Obama's policies...but why are they so fixated on the whole citizenship thing?

First Hannity brings it up, then Lou Dobbs and some crazy lady a republican meeting started ranting about it.

Do news organizations no longer believe in fact checking? What's going on? Obama has shown his birth

certificate, and even the newspaper announcements about his birth. But yet people are still questioning it.

Do ya see why conspiracy theories are bullshit?

Obama birthplace lawyer fined for legal misconduct
October 13th, 2009, 11:12 am · 9 Comments · posted by Martin Wisckol, Politics reporter

A Georgia federal judge today fined Mission Viejo lawyer Orly Taitz $20,000 for legal misconduct in her claims that Barack Obama was born in Kenya and so should be removed as president.

In sanctioning Taitz, U.S. District Court Judge Clay D. Land wrote that one recent Taitz response to the court “is breathtaking in its arrogance and borders on delusional. She expresses no contrition or regret regarding her misconduct. To the contrary, she continues her baseless attacks on the Court….”

Land has dismissed two cases filed in his court by Taitz, who sought to prevent two members of the U.S. armed services from being deployed with the argument that Obama is an illegitimate commander in chief. He also threatened to sanction Taitz last month if she didn’t stop what he called “frivolous” filings. Click here to read about that.

Taitz currently has a case in Santa Ana federal court challenging Obama’s legitimacy as president. Arguments were heard last week on U.S. attorneys’ motion to dismiss the case without going to trial. A ruling from Judge David O. Carter is pending on that motion.

In sanctioning Taitz, Land also wrote that her “misconduct was not an isolated event; it was part of a pattern that advanced frivolous arguments and disrespectful personal attacks on the parties and the Court. …

“In all of counsel’s frivolous filings, she hurled personal insults at the parties and the Court. Rather than assert legitimate legal arguments, counsel chose to accuse the Court of treason and of being controlled by the ‘Obama machine.’ She had no facts to support her claims - but her diatribe would play well to her choir.”

Click here to read Land’s 43-page ruling, which details Taitz misconduct and the flaws with her case.

The judge said he doubled the $10,000 fine that he’d previously threatened Taitz with because that earlier amount was apparently not enough to deter continued misconduct.

I’ll be posting more excerpts shortly and will put a call in to Taitz for reaction.

awesome.

It seems that when you present right-wingers facts to refute their arguments, they seem to think it's more evidence of a conpiracy.
