Orly Taitz Looks To Allen West For Help With Birther Crusade

California attorney Orly Taitz, matriarch of the birther movement, is hoping to bring aboard a congressional ally to her cause to prove the frequently rejected theory that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States and therefore not eligible to serve as president.

Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) attracted the attention of Taitz after telling a crowd over the weekend that Obama and Democrats should take their ideas and "get the hell out of the United States of America."

"We need to let President Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and my dear friend the chairman of the Democrat National Committee, we need to let them know that Florida ain't on the table," West said Saturday at a Lincoln Day Dinner in West Palm Beach. "Take your message of equality of achievement, take your message of economic dependency, take your message of enslaving the entrepreneurial will and spirit of the American people somewhere else. You can take it to Europe, you can take it to the bottom of the sea, you can take it to the North Pole, but get the hell out of the United States of America."

On Monday, Taitz, who is fresh off an unproductive attempt to force Obama from the primary ballot in Georgia, wrote a post on her blog linking to an article on West's comments and asking him to be a congressional surrogate for the birther movement.

1. Frankly, the woman needs to be ignored........

Too damn much ink and too much court time has been wasted over this lunatic. This is taxpayer money, being spent on insanity and prejudice.

2. WTF

What would West know about "entrepreneurial will and spirit of the American people", the man was a military brat and then put on a uniform and had the government providing him 3 hots and a cot for most of his life!!

And why won't this woman go away, isn't there some way that her American citizenship can be revoked and her psycho ass sent back to where she came from?

3. The saddest thing here isn't the insane woman with a relatively small following.

The saddest thing here is the war criminal congressman.

4. I thought Oily Titz had been deported.

So she's crawled out from under her rock, huh? Has she paid the thousands of dollars she owes the court for wasting their time?

5. Has she paid her $20,000 fine yet? n/t

7. There is only one explanation for this woman. Her entire life has got to be

a work of performance art.

8. Who is paying her to do this?

This can't be cheap, all this lawyering and filing suits all the time. Who's her client?

[Amerigo Vespucci]

10. Koch boys?

That would be my first response. They can afford to throw money at her forever without blinking.

[Lawlbringer]

9. I'm actually

in the middle of a debate with a friend who is saying that because of the Minor v. Happersett decision, yes: Obama is a citizen but not a natural born citizen.

I'm saying that the 14th amendment doesn't specify that, and I was going to play the Wong Kim Ark card, but that didn't say natural born either. He's content to see it play out, confident that Obama will be banned from the ballot, while I want this nonsense squashed. It's a waste of time and money.
