Calling all DUers with Photoshop! Your country needs you!

[ColbertWatcher]

Regarding the "Kenyan birth certificate" (found here), a fellow DUer made an excellent suggestion:

20. We need to create THOUSANDS of them and ship them all over the fucking place.

bury the fuckers in precise fakes, all just a little different from each other.

I wanna see heads explode. I wanna see people drooling from the breakdowns.

Won't you please help? Also, for anyone else (who doesn't have Photoshop) we will need a name for this operation.

[proud patriot]

1. I'll kick and rec this

[ColbertWatcher]

4. That is the second highest form of patriotic!

But, I suspect it will be making its way around the tubes soon enough!

25. Where'd you get that shot of the moran with the sign? LOL

95. Whew! Did you mention that to your "birther" RW buddies?...

I mean really, if it weren't for you idiots, this would have died out long ago. Perhaps sending Oily Taters to prison for counterfeiting would put an end to this...

[Laurab]

100. Oh thank God you Reported that.

I was going to fill one out myself, but thankfully I've now come to my senses. You are a true patriot, I can tell, who somehow got lost on his way over to freeperville, where all the "true patriots" hang out in their mom's basements. Thank you, thank you, thank you - I was too hot and lazy to do all that work......

[rhett o rick]

128. I was hoping he could stay for a while. I get a kick out of their posts.

Especially the ones that try to be legit liberals that are somehow dissatisfied with the President. I lost track of a couple of them but they probably tipped their hands and got TS.

[ColbertWatcher]

104. Forgery is illegal!? Shirley, you can't be series!? n/t

[cliffordu]

118. Kenyan birth certs ain't Federal Documents, butthead.

Fuck off, ya little shit,.

[rhett o rick]

124. He just wants to "stop hatred" give him some slack.

but not enough so his feet will touch the ground. Just kiddin. can't anyone take a joke.

[City Lights]

129. Ha! Hatred has been Stopped!

I hope you choked on your pizza!

[ColbertWatcher]

39. Your post is the lowest form of libriotic. n/t

88. Omg! Is that for real?

Either way, it's hilarious!

[ColbertWatcher]

105. It is not a photoshopped image. n/t

He rose out of the Caribbean sea just off Negril, Jamaica.

[drm604]

35. Have him born in the old Soviet Union.

Specifically, Uzbekistan, which was then known as the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic, and is largely Islamic. Muslim and Communist, that'll really make their heads spin!

[ColbertWatcher]

too far, maybe?

51. No place is too far to have Obama born in! lol nt

65. Why limit it to existing ones?

Someone should do one in Latin proclaiming Obama to be a natural-born citizen who entered this world in August of the year 2714 AUC.

8. I wish some creative DUers would also photoshop some Orly Taitz photos--

I've only seen the chihuahua one, but I'm sure there are other possibilities.

[ColbertWatcher]

11. O RLY?

[Mrs. Overall]

12. Great!

[IDemo]

57. Love it

[appal_jack]

101. FTW!

ColbertWatcher,

This is absolutely great! I suggest a minor edit in the form of a little more space between the 'O' and 'R' of 'ORLY?' just to push the internet meme a little harder.

But either way, this is serious Photoshop For The Win!

Nice work,

-app

[SIMPLYB1980]

112. LMAO!!!

Saved.

[HughMoran]

14. This is a really good idea.

I can virtually guarantee that some will be taken seriously.

[rhett o rick]

18. What is a great idea? nm

[HughMoran]

33. Some of my patents...

...but this isn't about me

[rhett o rick]

82. Who's on first? nm

[rhett o rick]

16. Help! I have no idea what you want us to do. One person should build a fake Obama

birth certificate and then we all should mail copies everywhere. Is that what you want?

[ColbertWatcher]

19. We want EVERYONE to make a fake birth certificate! n/t

[rhett o rick]

84. Ok, but at least someone should have a form to start with. Or are you suggesting we all build a

a birth certificate, including the form from scratch? I think it is a good idea but the form linked was conducive to making a birth certificate out of. There must be better examples around.

[ColbertWatcher]

102. EarlG posted one Sunday!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

[rhett o rick]

117. With due respect sir, and i mean it.

The form EarlG posted isn't the right kind for what I believe is your intention. In any case his is extremely hard to photoshop. There are good forms on DU and i don't have the links handy that are actual forms that one can photoshop and then print and send as an actual form.

So, one mite print a fake birth cert from Kenya (bad enough to tell) and send it to the local newspaper with return addy from the local republican party as if they were exposing the President's birth in Kenya.

Or use the actual legitimate birth cert and re-do it with photoshop to make it look as if it was trying to be passed off as legit, and send it to the local repuke party as if you were exposing the pres as faking his own birth cert.

[ColbertWatcher]

120. I think the idea was really to just have fun with it.

Not to actually create a forged document.

[katsy]

17. k/r

[boppers]

22. Brilliant. K&R

[MineralMan]

27. Based on today's certificate, someone already got started.

And a capital job he/she did on it, too. Just enough flaws to make it obvious, while fooling the dimwits.

[ColbertWatcher]

28. Okay, I will try to make one. (Post suggestions in reply)

I am going to say he was born in some refugee camp under UN control and write it mostly in French, but I'm only fluent in Google translator French, so if anyone can help with "translation" that would be awesome.

[pipi_k]

130. Actually, I think Google translator French

or even Babelfish French would be a total hoot...

[Odin2005]

29. I don;t have Photoshop but LOVE the idea!

[SleeplessInAlabama]

30. Say no more

After all, if this was a fake cert, they could be prosecuted!

[ColbertWatcher]

36. Excellent, so, now he's English?! LOL! n/t

[MineralMan]

37. Not bad. Let O RLY? Taitz know about it. I hear she's

paying for these.

[ColbertWatcher]

42. Ooh! It's a fake! The English write day before month on dates! n/t

[SleeplessInAlabama]

49. I could always tweak it but I am no birth certificate expert. Here's some to get the juices flowing.

Here are a couple blanks for inspiration:

First the English one I used:
http://fake utilitys.com/db5/00437/fakeutilitys.com/_uimages/Birth-Certificate.jpg

Teddy bear one for shizz n giggles:
http://www.parkdale novelty.com/photos/Birth.jpg

A similar English one - it has a name filled in so just use the clone stamp tool to get rid of it:
http://www.richard byrom.com/images/uploads/daniel_2Djames_2Dbyrom_2Dbirth_2Dregistration.jpg

Long form English BC to same guy - clone stamp as usual:
http://www.richard byrom.com/images/uploads/daniel_2Djames_2Dbyrom_2Dbirth_2Dregistration2.jpg

Generic, completely non-governmental BC:
http://www.free printablecertificates.net/samples-free/birth.png

A Volkswagen "birth certificate", I bet if you cloned out the VW logo and the English translations of the stuff in German you could get away with passing it off as German:
http://vw kombi.com/_images/vw-birth-cert.jpg

[ColbertWatcher]

53. Your links are broke! n/t

[SleeplessInAlabama]

55. I put a space in them so that they don't show up full size in the post!

I wasn't aware of any other way...

[ColbertWatcher]

58. Here ya go ...

[link:url|Text]

Where:

link = the word link

url = the address with the "http://" part lopped
off

| = the horizontal bar (SHIFT + \)

text = the words you want to appear

All inside a single set of square brackets!

[SleeplessInAlabama]

66. I have found the way - sadly it is too late for the editing of my post. Mea culpa. n/t

[ColbertWatcher]

70. Meh, use it for next time! n/t

[Turborama]

Yee-ha!

[ColbertWatcher]

45. ***UH-OH!***

csziggy - Sun Aug-02-09 05:17 PM
38. My husband has a suggestion about that - make Kenyan AND Hawaiian fake certificates

For ALL the birthers and those that push their crap. Orly Taitz, Philip Berg, Lou Dobbs, the Faux Noise twerps, the head of Freeperville, whoever we can get enough info on to fake them. Make dozens for each of them, spread them around. It could be fun!

Heh, heh!

[csziggy]

47. My husband's idea - make fake birth certificates for all the birthers

And everyone who supports this idiocy - Kenyan, Hawaiian, whatever country or state you want. Plaster the internet with fake birth certificates!

I've got Photoshop, but cannot help right now - I burned out my shoulder during the campaign and have limited use of it for a few months yet.

[ColbertWatcher]

59. Excellent idea! n/t

[burning rain]

50. Someone should make a funny Troll House Cookies graphic, too.

That would frequently be of value.

[ColbertWatcher]

54. That should be the "official seal". n/t

[krispos42]

56. "Operation Woven Muslin"

Yeah, that's the ticket.


Sci-fi fans, let's break out some planets!!!



Barack Hussein Obama, born in the 5th Year of the Reign of Anthimos III, in Videssos the city, Videssian Empire.

[Contrary1]

60. No, not thousands.

Just a half dozen very good ones discovered a few months apart. Might as well make some $$$ off Orly and her band of dipshit donors.

[Tarc]

61. call it "Operation Chaos", since that is what is going on within FR's Birther movement anyways

I'll let out a little secret that maybe some free Republic lurkers might see and make em quake a bit; 3 of the more vocal Birther proponents at the FR are really shills. The idea is to be as outlandish as possible without going overboard, thereby bringing ridicule to the entire movement...well, even more ridicule than it gets anyways.

[beac]

62. Just wait 'til Silvio's wife sees THIS!

[ColbertWatcher]

77. LOL! n/t

[beac]

63. Oh, and may I suggest "Operation Certificatefiably Insane" for this fine project. n/t

The first one that throws up--they ALL go home.

[pipi_k]

132. bwahahaha...I can only imagine they're watching this thread closely because

if any of our fake birth certificates end up in the public venue, they'll know which one of us is responsible...

that way they won't waste 5000 posts trying to "investigate" yet another fake...

87. 'Operation Birther Control'

That is so funny!

Can we send this story to Jon Stewart? I think he'd like to interview Oily Titz (h/t to whoever thought that up) to see how her Kenya Cert. filing goes. Keith might want to follow this story also.

There's a thread of over a thousand excited comments from ecstatic Freepers after her announcement of the Kenyan Birth Cert. yesterday also. The Comedy Show wouldn't even have to bother writing material for weeks if they cover Oily & The Freepers' (good band name) progress as they plod along on their Patriotic Journey.

[cliffordu]

94. SEND IT SEND IT SEND IT!!!

[sabrina 1]

113. Lol, I will email them

But I can't send a link to her site. I had to shut down the computer after trying to go there. I saw a freeper warning everyone also.

I'll just say that the Birther Controllers (I just love that! Lol) have been following the story and send a link to one of the threads here ... I think they'll get the idea!

[ColbertWatcher]

103. Sir Dr. Colbert already interviewed her ...

[sabrina 1]

111. I know, I saw that. It was hysterical

But I'd love to Jon interview her about her latest 'finding' before she realizes it's a fake.

[ColbertWatcher]

114. I'd like to see her on Lou Dobb's show! n/t

An armed nutcase who truly believes that Pres. Obama pulled one over on the American people?

That shit happens anyway.

127. It is just a matter of time. With Faux News inflaming them. nm

[pipi_k]

131. they already do think he pulled one over by being elected.

he won and it's all his fault.

[rhett o rick]

85. Is it legal and where do we send them? nm

[StopHatred]

93. NO USC TITLE 18 PART I CHAPTER 25 FEDERAL COUNTERFEITING AND FORGERY

[rhett o rick]

98. So you don't think it is a good idea to send fake birth certificates to all the right wing wacko's?

Please explain.

[rhett o rick]

99. Sorry you couldn't stay longer. nm

[rhett o rick]

116. Another one bites the dust. nm

[pipi_k]

134. Since when did satire for the purpose of

laughing oneself silly become a "crime"?


feh.

[ColbertWatcher]

107. I think whether it is legal or not depends on what you're going to do with it.

If all you're going to do is use it to show off your Photoshop skills, I don't think it's a problem.

However, if you're going to use it to fraudulently receive government assistance or to slander someone, then yeah, that would be illegal.

I think it would be like making fake money for a game: as long as you're not going to use it to swindle someone out of money or property, you should be fine.

[Generic Other]

89. You just have to go back to the source to find the papertrail

I don't understand why this hasn't been exposed already.

97. So why does the right support totalitarianism? GWB did more to restrict our freedoms than any

president in recent history. The Patriot Act, the MCA, the suspension of habeus corpus. He authorized torture just as if he was a totalitarian. They arrested American citizens off the street and threw them in prison w/o do process.

He authorized the torture and sexual abuse of children. He is responsible for the deaths of over 100,000 innocent Iraqi children and the orphaning of many millions more.

That my friend is totalitarianism. Education would help what ails you.

Welcome to DU. Pay attention and you might learn something.

92. BIRTH-CERTIFICATE TERROR ALARM

A stack of blank birth certificates has been stolen from the city Health Department's offices, leading investigators to worry that they may have fallen into the hands of terrorists, The Post has learned.

<snip>

The NYPD and the city's Department of Investigation are investigating.

"It's like hitting the Lotto for a terrorist," one investigator said.

"Forged documents are one of the primary concerns of Homeland Security. After you get that birth certificate, you can get any document you want. This is extremely serious."
