Is Orly Taitz a complete wack job or is she on to something?

Shes a nut

VS.

I think she's on to something!

Side Score: 3
3 points

I just saw this video and to be honest it is shockingly outrageous.

I mean we are listening to a woman that wouldn't take a limo to her interview because the driver's name sounded Muslim? Really?

So the ' birthers ' are convinced that Obama is really from Kenya, and that Obama's Hawaiian birth certificate is a fake. Which all sounds perfectly sane at first but then you think about it for maybe another .3 seconds and you realize it is totally ludicrous.

You could make the argument that it was 2 vs 1, but then again she never answered the questions asked. Orly got extremely emotional, because she was getting interupted. Which made perfect sense since she was going on a damn rant.

I think that Orly Taitz was a bad choice to put on the air for msnbc mainly because I am now convinced she is totally mentally disturbed.

Here's what I'm more confused about.

David Schuster kept on interrupting her... which is good.

But, whenever O'Reilly interrupts someone, it's used as ammo by the people on this site to point out that Fox News isn't fair and balanced... interesting. "LOL, equal airtime means nothing because O'Reilly interrupts!!!!"

Anyway, of course she's a nut. Same thing with these 9/11Truth people... just ideologues who want so badly to attack someone they highly disagree with that they would actually make shit up. and they have DOCUMENTS!!! UNCLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS THAT PROVE EVERYTHING1!1

Right, because the CIA and FBI would just let you get documents like that. with Obama, right, like the entire government is ignoring your "birth certificate" because they all love him so much.

Face it, your papers don't mean shit because, in fact, they are shit. If the info that you have is so important:

1. The government will use it to get to the bottom of something

or

2. The government will make you disappear so that you don't spread it

neither has happened, so STFU. Dumbasses, all of them.

Maybe the FBI and CIA missed something with Obama's documents.

I mean hes just the president, they probably just gave his papers a quick glance.

I'm going to start a birther movement that Orly Taitz is illegal and try to get her deported... just because I don't like her.

shouldn't be too difficult since she was born in Russia, got engaged to her Latvian-born husband on their second date, moved to America and married him in less than 5 months, etc. etc.

2 of her children were born before she became a citizen - should they be deported?

Side: Shes a nut

Those "birther" people are fanatics. They are just Obama bashers who can't stand the man being in the White House.

at least she is putting herself in the spotlight trying to voice an opinion.

really? anyone who just wants to grab the spotlight is automatically 'on to something'?

Side: Shes a nut

She may be onto something by stating that Obama's father was never a US citizen! I don't know if that is a requirement to be President of the USA or not. Does it go by where the father was born or simply where the off-spring was born? But Ms. Taitz does sound a bit of the lunatic and I can't really blame her for answering the way she did because of the network time restraints. They certainly didn't give her enough time to answer a fairly large question thoroughly.

Obama's father's citizenship would only be an issue if Obama had not been born in the US.

As it is, however, he was born in the US, so it's a moot point.
