Orly Taitz Challenges the Eligibility of an African-American Politician
Source: The Washington Independent

No, not that one. Another one — Damon Dunn, a mainstream Republican candidate for Secretary of State in California. Dunn stands in the way of Taitz’s vanity campaign for that office. So Taitz has waged a two-tier campaign against him. First, accusing him of being an affirmative action candidate.

"The only reason he was endorsed so far, is because he is an African American, and Republicans want to have an African American to show diversity. He admits to having no knowledge or experience with law, elections or election law."

Second, Taitz has accused Dunn of being registered to vote in Florida. As Spencer Kornhaber discovered, he was once, but he isn’t now. Still, there are obviously no racial overtones to the “birther” crusade.

1. Dunn is also not a natural born American, according to Taiz's logic
because his ancestry is African.

7. She's living here, isn't she?
I mean, I assume she's a US citizen at this point. I'd label her a disgrace to humanity, but I don't want to speak for everyone :)

15. The Landscape There Does Look Familiar, Sir
I would have to hunt up a decent map to pinpoint the place myself; it is on one side or the other of the Dniester River....

18. It borders Romania and Ukraine
Russia, being an empire (whether Tsarist or Soviet isn't important) had this funny little idea that it all belonged to her.

24. You're wrong
She is Ukrainian. She was born in the Soviet Union, the successor to the Tsarist Empire, in what is now Moldova. She has also lived in Isreal (where she had automatic citizenship as a Jew) and Romania. She has lived in the US since 1987 and obtained American citzenship in 1992.

8. Its the in thing this year, haven't you heard?
Everyone from Beck to Hannity, O'Reilly to this sad excuse for a person can barely keep themselves from screaming N*****R, S**C and whatever other slurs they know, right into their microphones. The same hypocrites also spent 8 years calling out anyone who even looked cross-eyed at their Shrub as "traitors." Imagine...even the slightest critique of Shrub, and you were a traitor, but it is perfectly acceptable to scream pure lies about President Obama, equating him with terrorism and calling even his birth certificate. How do these foul RWers even sleep at night?

4. Oh so people, now, can't endorse who they want.
What does it matter if he does not know the ins and outs of that office. Look at all the dumb bunnies in Washington who don't know the first thing about the job.

And the worst was Ronald Reagan..an actor yet.
