WND Exclusive!

Rush Limbaugh's phone is hearing mysterious messages from Obama's minions.

Fess up?

Limbaugh's suppressed alternate persona might have taken over his body.

This is technically from the Western Center for Journalism, but really, what's the difference?

Some guy named Alan Halbert is in the middle of a five-part series on the White House gaggle that preceded the long-form's press conference last year. It's not particularly good, but at least it's something I haven't seen Birthers do ad nauseum already.

In the process, he makes a number of odd conclusions (apparently it's suspicious that the White House didn't answer questions that weren't asked), and he frames the whole thing as some kind of mindgame. But one of my favorite bits is this, in Part 1:

"The transcript also looks as if it has been edited with statements stopping mid sentence, words replaced with “–” then continues with another thought or continuation. Who talks like this? It was not a literal transcription."

Mr. Halbert is clearly someone who's never actually seen an exact transcription of people talking off the cuff. And thus, his ignorance leads him to conclude that something is afoot.

Music legend faces boot over Obama's eligibility]

The article mentions a lot of complaints about Pat Boone's social views, but doesn't specify much about eligibility. It just says "The Blade also cited objections over Boone’s willingness to question Barack Obama’s eligibility to be president and the legitimacy of the document the White House presented as Obama’s purported, long-form birth certificate."

And how did the Toledo Blade say this? Well, halfway through a fairly long article, it says:

Quote:
Mr. Boone also has claimed President Obama was born in Kenya and that his long-form birth certificate is fraudulent.


That's it. It doesn't even say that's one of the reasons he's being protested. It's just noted in passing.

So the Blade did not "cite objections." So WND printed a falsity. I'm shocked. That must be a 783-in-1,000 occurrence.

Forget his social commentary, Pat Boone should be shunned for his awful cover album of metals songs including Enter Sandman, Stairway to heaven and Crazy Train.

And it's not the way they present it in the article that gets me. It's the fact that they took a story that has jack-squat to do with Birtherism, and used that one passing comment in another newspaper's coverage (and not anything the actual protesters themselves said) to elevate it to a top headline about Birtherism.

It's totally unnecessary. Boone's already a WND columnist; they just as easily could have run a story about Boone being booted for his social views. But they apparently decided it would get more hits if they slapped it with a misleading headline.

You mean the one that he dressed up like this:

And sang like this



The funny thing was that this album ruined his Evangelical "street cred" for a while.

New top headline tonight:

Here's how to ensure Obama defeat

Lessee...does it involve giving money to WND?

Quote:
The first part of the plan calls for a massive and aggressive expansion of that program, which put the issue on the map when most media would not even entertain honest discussions of it. In order to do this, I need help – lots of help. I need financial support – much more than we have ever received in the past. I estimate it will take up to $1 million to plaster this message across the country so it cannot be ignored.


OK, so the first part of the plan involves giving $1 million to WND. What's the second part?

Quote:
But that’s just the start, says Farah. If the campaign is successful enough, he wants to produce and air hundreds of television ads about the eligibility issue. If we can raise through grass-roots donations another $1 million by July, we can have those ads airing in major markets, on national TV and in battleground states to ensure Obama is so weakened by public doubt that his campaign can’t even overcome the crisis through voter fraud.


I see. So the second part of the plan is giving ANOTHER $1 million to WND.

Incidentally, I'm betting that no such television ads ever make it to air. Regardless of how much money they raise. After all, WND ran a fundraising drive to pay for ads for Corsi's book...and never actually ran any ads.

Well, They could raise Eleventy butterzillion dollahs, and he could just say "Sorry didn;t raise enough money, so sad. *Pocket*" and that would be that.

Well, it looks to me that Haskins just got done grifting that one. The least WND could do is wait until the Social Security checks have hit the mailboxes again.

Klayman, taking an apparent break from his winning birfer lawsuit in Florida, pens his take on what should be done in the Zimmerman case... indict the prosecutor. And he's sent her an ultimatum, and if she doesn't respond satisfactorily, by golly he's going to do just that, in his spare time, I suppose, because he's also taking step to indict Obama. ](*,)

From WND

Quote:
Last week I wrote that one of our last recourses as patriots and citizens of the United States was to impanel our own grand juries, as proscribed in the Constitution, and bring criminal charges against those establishment politicians and public servants who are bringing down our nation through their corrupt actions. While our illegitimate president, Barack Hussein Obama, remains at the top of the list – and indeed I am taking steps to properly have him indicted for his fraudulent and treasonous acts – another obvious legal target of We the People’s push for justice should be Duval County State Attorney Angela Corey.

[...]

It now turns out that newly disclosed evidence shows that Zimmerman likely had a reasonable fear of severe bodily injury or death and acted appropriately in self-defense by shooting Trayvon Martin. This evidence comes in the form of a photo of Zimmerman’s bloody head taken by a third party just minutes after Martin was shot and killed. The photo was not disclosed by Corey in sworn affidavits she filed in support of Zimmerman’s indictment, showing her predilection to charge the young man at all costs.

As reported by Breitbart.com, it is not surprising that even liberal constitutional Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz was outraged by Corey’s criminal actions in not only succumbing to pressure to indict Zimmerman, but for in effect falsifying evidence. Here is what Dershowitz – who, despite his leftist leanings, from my experience is a man of intellectual integrity (for example, he views Roe v. Wade as in illegal Supreme Court decision) – told the Internet publication:

[...]

This week, I penned a letter to Corey on behalf of the American people, [-( demanding that she dismiss her indictment of Zimmerman and present all of the evidence, including but not limited to the exculpatory photo, to a neutral grand jury that would then make the call whether to indict the young Hispanic and, ironically, part-black man, it now turns out. If Corey does not respond affirmatively to my letter and do the right thing and mete out justice on behalf of We the People, she should be made an example of and indicted herself for perjury, obstruction of justice and other related crimes for cooking the charges against Zimmerman.

Doesn't proscribed mean the exact opposite??? Where did this birfer get his f'ng dictionary????
tr.v. pro·scribed, pro·scrib·ing, pro·scribes. 1. To denounce or condemn. 2. To prohibit; forbid. See Synonyms at forbid. 3. a. To banish or outlaw (a person). b.

Edit: Klayman and WND - neither one can edit shit. F'ing morons I tells ya.

Yeah. I like how we can meet him in coffee shops to take advantage of his resemblance to Eric Holder.

Obama's birther joke was, in actuality, a two-part joke. Part one was included in his speech last night and concluded with his wink. Part two is the incensed indignation spouted by WND, its readers and the posters at Free Republic. Part two may, in fact, be funnier than part one. It just goes on and on and on. "All we need is one honest judge..." =))

Who knows, there may be more. As I recall, last year, it took about 24 hours for America to understand the full impact of the "Donald Trump solved his problem by firing Gary Busey" joke.
