As Seen On TV! Birthermercial Asks, Where Was Obama Really Born?
Justin Elliott | September 25, 2009, 2:31PM

A new birther infomercial running on a CBS affiliate in Texas and elsewhere around the country tells viewers a "got a birth certificate?" bumper sticker can be theirs for the low price of $30.

The 28-minute program -- quite possibly the first ever birthermercial -- features community access production values, heavy use of foreboding strings soundtrack, and standard-issue Birther ideology.

For a $30 contribution, viewers also get a fax sent in their name to the 50 state attorneys general and Attorney General Eric Holder demanding that President Obama produce his real birth certificate.

Here's the TPMtv highlight reel of the infomercial:

[triple point]

1. They don't actually want to see a birth certificate, it would end their scam.

In a way, it's a bit like Kent Hovind and his 'challenge' in that it demands the impossible and brings in money while doing so.
