Even Newt won't get on board the Crazy Orly Taitz Train - SHE'S BAAACK!!!



Orly is shopping around her Birther Madness at any Tea Party gathering she can find. Newtie was at a Tea Party Hatriot gathering in California, and Orly had some nice racist things to say about the president while there.


"Orly Taitz took her anti-Obama birther crusade to GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich on Monday, only to come up empty-handed. Again.

<CUT>

"After answering concerns about the state of his campaign following a slide in recent polls and primary contests, Taitz came forward, suggesting that the birther issue could provide a "boost" to his candidacy if he made it a hallmark issue.

"Somebody who wouldn't be good enough, who wouldn't be certified to pick tomatoes or clean bathrooms is sitting in the White House," Taitz told Gingrich, reportedly to a mixed reception from the largely Tea Party audience.

"That's a project you should pursue," Gingrich responded. He went on to say that with ongoing economic issues and other mismanagement he saw in the president's agenda, he had "enough issues to debate Obama about."

It's not that Newt wouldn't LOOOOVE to use the "birther" argument but even he knows that Orly is too crazy to deal with. Can you imagine letting her on the campaign bus?

he doesn't want to outright embrace the birther nonsense (and I'm pretty sure he knows it's nonsense), but he also doesn't want to alienate that part of the base, so he avoids the subject or gives ambiguous answers.

This is what they get for years of encouraging the wackadoodle vote.

And Orly never went away. She's like bad toenail fungus, that way.

3. "That's a project you should pursue," sez Newt. Maybe not on board but he's hardly discouraging her.

Nor is he risking alienating her whackjob followers.

Ironically alot of her fellow racist hate her for being Jewish........

If she wasn't Jewish I would say "get that woman a white sheet of her very own".

Wasn't that what the birthers were crying about all this time? Is she saying that it's a fake? The state of Hawaii has also said he was born there.

She's saying it's one giant conspiracy?

IIRC she has been sanctioned for contempt of court several times. Judges do NOT have a sense of humor about contempt citations and failure to pay sanctions in such cases.

15. I look for Santorum or even Romney to go "full birther" to seal the votes of the republican base.

They need to go all out now, because the "race" is down to 2.
