DownWithTyranny!: Can the mental health system do anything for Orly Taitz? How about people who pay any attention to birther crackpottery?

You don't really want to watch this, do you? If so, you won't forget to shower after, will you?

I suppose you could say that what matters is that the New Hampshire Ballot Law commission listened to another round of Orly Taitz's birther ravings and then got on with their business. From Luke Johnson's HuffPost account, based on a Concord Monitor report:

New Hampshire's Ballot Law Commission rejected unanimously Friday "birther queen" Orly Taitz's argument to keep President Barack Obama off the presidential ballot because she insists that the president's birth certificate is a fake.

"A child can see this is a forgery," she said in her testimony. She also alleged the president did not have a valid social security number.

No, Orly, what that child can see is that you're either a pathological liar desperate for attention or a mental case in even more desperate need of therapeutic intervention.

Ballot Law Commission Chairman Bradford Cook asked Ms. Taitz, ""Is there any decision, anyplace, by any body -- adjudicatory body -- to the questions you're asking? Because they've been asked a lot of places." To which she replied, "Yes, but -- ," and Chairman Cook said, "No. Thank you."

So why can't I just ignore another siege of Orly. First, because this is only the dawn of the presidential election season, and serves as an ominous sign of what lies ahead. Second, and probably most important, because hardly any one on the Right or in the Republican Party has given this nonsense the unequivocal brush-off that can be the only acceptable reply, and in fact enormous sectors of that sector have pointedly allowed this poison to fester if not actually encouraged it.

Finally, because so many lost souls are still listening, evidently too whacked out to use their brains for anything more useful, interpreting even the slightest nudge in the direction of reality or sanity as an assault by liberals. I plucked a few comments off the YouTube page, more or less at random:

This woman making the allegations and having proof that Oboma is not a citizen of the United States was born in the Soviet Union: it is a shame that people born outside of our country know more about our laws than average natural born americans. She is eloquent in her testimony concerning this matter: she has the proof : you prefer being blind and lend into slavery that is your buisness: However I will fight progressive's and their agenda with or yourwith you. Ignorance is Bliss.

No other President in the history of the United States comes from a background even 1/2 as murky as Obama's. He's a fucking complete fraud for A to Z! They even have to photo-shop family pictures for him to support the mythological background story they created for him. What other President had a domestic terrorist pen his "autobiography" for him but Obozo? He's ridiculous and if he was ever properly investigated we would be floored by the size and scope of his frauds!

It's good to see an immigrant like Orly Taitz uphold our Constitution. Unlike Fareed Zakaria, a Muslim immigrant, who is a traitor to the USA. When he became a citizen, he took an an oath of allegiance to uphold the Constitution and doesn't. He believe our Constitution is obsolete. He and his family should be deported immediately. Zakaria is not a real citizen. Orly is a patriot. Go Orly!!! The usurper Obama must be removed from the Oval Office NOW!!!

I look at this stuff, and all I think of is the poor Simpleton who at the end of Mussorgsky's Boris Godunov -- as a crowd of ever-gullible Russian peasants eagerly hails a bogus pretender to the Russian throne, merely the latest disaster-in-the-making for Russia and for them -- whines:

Flow, flow, bitter tears.
Weep, weep, true-believing soul!
Soon the enemy will come and dark will fall.
Dark darkness, impenetrable.
Woe, woe unto Russia.
Weep, weep, Russian people.
Hungry people.
