‘Punkin’ the Birthers: Priceless’

‘Punkin’ the Birthers: Priceless’
By David Weigel 8/6/09 1:18 PM


It’s looking more and more like the forged “Kenyan birth certificate” released by Orly Taitz on Sunday was a prank by a supporter of President Obama. Politijab points to an anonymous blogger at FearlessBlogging, who has uploaded four photos of the original forgery and a mocking declaration:

Fine cotton business paper: $11

Inkjet printer: $35

1940 Royal Model KMM manual typewriter: $10

2 Shilling coin: $1

Pilot Varsity fountain pen: $3

Punkin’ the Birthers: Priceless


First, there’s the original photo of the infamous forged certificate on a red, striped carpet, as it appeared on WorldNetDaily.



Then, a photo of a typewriter and special paper for making official-looking documents.



Then, a crumpled-up certificate:



Then, the punchline:

1. I dunno...
Anyone can make up those certificates now. This could just be a nice bit of rubbing their nose in it rather than a LW prank.

10. The background may be the same, but the documents are not.
But then again, if I had created that beautiful forgery, I probably wouldn't trash it either.

And they are all excited that Taitz will now be suing the forger, or that he will go to jail. :crazy:

Their circular logic has no end. No wonder they are all so confused. They've gotta have a serious case of the spins by now!! :rofl:

13. Free-Birthers have it now
Link To Dirty Nasty Place

They want the guy who did it arrested.

As long as the forger didn't ask for money, it was a joke and nothing more.

FreeBirthers can't take a joke.

54. my absolute favorite exchange:
Comment 1: Arresting and jailing the forger of a birth certificate: Priceless.

Comment 2: Calling the hoax a forgery is like calling monopoly money a forgery. It’s so obviously a fake that only a fool would believe it to be real.

Comment 3: First, we do NOT know that the Orly document is a “hoax” at all, do we? Second, if it IS a “forgery” it is one of the BEST forgery jobs in history. Try again. :eyes:

"That's Keynesian Economics, Miss Rosannadanna."




I still miss Gilda. Can you IMAGINE the genius that her Orly impersonation would have been?

20. Denial isn't just for African Rivers any more
From a Free-Birther:

To: autumnraine
Actually, nothing has been proven at all.
Proof can only come from the evaluation of the document that Orly presented, to the court.

More to the point, it appears that the Australian BC WAS a hoax!

26. I was actually surprised the Freeps fell for it in the first place.
i knew they were dumb, but I just didn't think anyone would be THAT dumb.

I finally realized that it must have been Orly Taitz's endorsement that made the Freepers believe. Their queen applied her stamp of approval and proffered her "smoking gun" to the press and the world.

You know there's a leadership vacuum when the crazy Orly Taitz is leading the charge.
