Crazy Nut Job, One of the more amusing quirks of the “birther”...

One of the more amusing quirks of the “birther” movement is the quality of the legal minds in whom Obama birth certificate obsessives are placing their trust — and their occasional donations. Phil Berg, the original “birther” lawyer, has been forced to pay out sanctions for legal malpractice. Orly Taitz, famously, got her law degree from an online correspondence school. And it turns out that Charles Lincoln, who has been assisting Taitz — he provided judges with amended complaints in Keyes et al v. Obama et al last week and he showed up at the last hearing on the case— has been disbarred in California, as well as Florida and Texas.

I don’t necessarily think you need to be a proven and qualified legal mind to be smart and be able to participate in our legal system…but when so many of the people associated with this appear to be, for lack of a better word, quacks, you’d think more people would be going, “Oh, nutjobs…I don’t want to be associated with those people!”

First, everyone wants to be associated with nutjobs. Right?

Second, everyone should read “SHOCKING REPORT: Lou Dobbs’ Birth Certificate a FAKE!”:

I remember my outrage when, during the 2008 campaign, it was brought to my attention that no one had EVER seen Obama’s birth certificate. I was furious— why had I never seen this document? I look at documents all the time, and yet, in literally decades of looking at documents, not ONCE had I ever come across a copy of Barack Obama’s birth certificate. Not even ONCE.
