Orly Taitz, the self-appointed "queen of the birthers," has endorsed Republican U.S. Senate candidate Sharron Angle.
Taitz today asked supporters to donate money to Angle's campaign and to visit Las Vegas to stump for the Tea Party darling.
"For the next 5 weeks I am less important, and my $20,000 sanctions are less important than Sharron, so please, donate," Taitz wrote on her website. "Now is the time to take a trip to Vegas!...we can walk the precincts for Sharron, dispense fliers to the undecided independent voters or moderate, blue dog Democrats, who are fed up with this takeover of the country or we can tell some lazy Conservatives to get off their lazy b…. and vote."
Taitz is a California dentist and lawyer who gained national attention for her "birther" theories, namely that President Barack Obama is not a U.S. citizen and therefore is ineligible to serve as president.
The Supreme Court recently upheld a $20,000 fine against Taitz for a frivolous lawsuit she filed in Georgia on behalf of an Army captain who refused to deploy to Iraq. Taitz argued that the woman's deployment orders weren't legitimate because Obama is not a legitimate president.
Sharron Angle insists she is not a birther.
When asked in July whether she believes Obama was born somewhere other than Hawaii, she said, "No."
A day earlier, however, she waffled on the question. Asked on a Conservative internet radio show whether she believes Obama is eligible to be president, Angle said the Supreme Court already decided that and went on to talk about Obama's weakness as a leader.
"We really um, I’m very disappointed we didn’t feel that he was qualified purely because he had not the experience, he hadn’t...we didn’t know exactly how he was voting because he was only voting present when he was voting. And now we see as a policy maker he has truly failed us," Angle said.
The Angle campaign did not respond to a request for comment today on Taitz's support.
A spokesman for Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said the endorsement highlights Angle's "extreme" views.
"It should come as no surprise that one of Angle’s only endorsements comes from yet another out-of-state extremist who can’t be honest, despite irrefutable evidence about the president’s birth certificate," spokesman Kelly Steele said.
To those of you who are "birthers" convinced that the Hawaii birth certificate is a fraud, I refer you to Title 8 of the United States Code, Section 1401 which reads as follows:
The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth:
. . . .
(g) a person born outside the geographical limits of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of whom is an alien, and the other a citizen of the United States who, prior to the birth of such person, was physically present in the United States or its outlying possessions for a period or periods totaling not less than five years, at least two of which were after attaining the age of fourteen years . . . .
The above can be found at http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/8/1401...
So, unless Obama's mother hadn't lived in the US for 5 years prior to meeting and marrying Obama's father and leaving for wherever it is you think Obama was born, he is a citizen every bit as much as McCain is and there is absolutely no need for faking a birth certificate.
Is EVERY whack-job going to come out for Angle?
Who's next, Geraldo???
This is just the sort of push that this campaign needs to get it over the top...

I wish you two will stop it, my insurance policy will not cover my dependants if I die from laughter.
Aon
You are not helping the my situation at all!!
Cut it out now.
@BobbyG
I will make sure you get a copy of my coroner's report...for sure I'm as good as dead.
Thanks
And the great bobbyg with too much time on his hands spreads his hate speaks again....you are priceless.......
The seed was planted by Beelzebub and SEIU - he is a Islamic Manchurian candidate ...GO Palin GO Angle Go O'Donnell GO BECK ...looks like the Dem's will keep the house and the Senate...thanks to these tea-nuts
pjoke, are you just ignorant, or you really,really as stupid as you seem to be if you believe anything old Orally has to say. His birth certificate as well as his birth announcement in the Hoholulu newspaper has been on display numeous times. Some people just cannot stand the truth.
Every zombie from every other state is crawling
over here, like a snake in the grass, to support
the worst candidate to ever run in Nevada.
THESE TEABAGGER ZOMBIES ARE CRAZY.
Angle talks about Obama's inexperience yet she is inexperienced beyond belief and is not qualified to be a US Senator.
A nitwit supporting a dimwit, should we be surprised?!?!
This endorsement is about as good as the Dawn Gibbons endorsement. They are both idiots. Obama won the election fair and square (unfortunately), and the whole birther movement is a crutch that a lot of sour losers are hanging their hats on. The real question is why the Sun is reporting this? Every legitimate news source has completely ignored this as a non-story. Goes to show that the Sun truly is a Reid progaganda machine like his expensive staff. I cannot wait for 32 more days so all this stupidity can be over in many ways.
JUST IN!
"Birther Queen Orly Taitz Endorses Sharron Angle"
____
This crazy woman's endorsement will send rabid teabaggers into a foaming-at-the-mouth frenzy! They can hardly contain their deranged excitement!
Much like the Norman Bates character in the Hitchcock movie "Psycho", Lady gpigsagogopjoke has a creepy multiple personality disorder.
He/she is a very sick man/woman/teabagger.
Like teamster says, this is just another example of another idiot from somewhere other than Nevada who won't vote here, but they sure want to effect the outcome of this Senate race.
And this Orly character will fail.
Because the sane voters here in Nevada vote based on local issues and what is best for us.
And Sharron Angle ain't it. Especially when she aligns herself with this birther queen knucklehead.
Who's your next benefactor, Sharron? You going to arrange for a special prison furlough for Charles Manson and O.J. Simpson and give out free massages or something?
I still stay with sanity. My vote goes for Senator Reid.
Has anyone "prominent" from Nevada endorsed Angle? Seems like she is getting endorsed from nuts outside the state. Speaking of nuts, has Ensign or Gibbons endorse her as their candidate? Just wondering.
@ BobbyG - the tattoo image of Angle is classic! Can I post the link to my facebook page?
Birthers+Birchers= excellent material for Comedy Central s Daily Show, you betcha..
:-)
pjoke, I repeat my question from my earlier post; are you really as stupid as you seem to be? If so, I really, really feel sorry for you. If not, then you are really, really an idiot for espousing any kind of support for the "birther" position.
Orly Taitz and Sharron Angle - a perfect duo, that is, if you like crazies. Persons like these two shouldn't be let anywhere near our government. Democrats who sit at home on election day have only themselves to blame if Angle wins.
I agree, pjoke.
President Obama needs to drop everything. And stop whatever he is doing.
And head straight to downtown Honolulu, go to the courthouse that holds public records, reach in his wallet, pay the $15.00 to the nice lady behind the counter.
Then head over to your house and let you peruse it with a magnifying glass and fine tooth comb, making SURE that you are TOTALLY and COMPLETELY satisfied with the veracity of this sacred document; so as to preclude any and all attempts to bring this subject up ever again; putting to rest all American conspiracy theories.
I suggest you let him look at your birth certificate too. That way you can prove you are actually from the planet Earth.
I agree with you, pjoke. It's an islamo socialist agenda. President Obama has drummed up an insiduous plot to take over the government and turn it over to the Muslims in order to institute Sharia Law to supplant the American Constitution.
There's gotta be a grassy knoll in here somewhere, complete with a guy holding an umbrella on a hot summer day and another cigarette smoking man circa "The X Files." TRUST NO ONE!
I bet that's what it is.
Sheesh.
Give it a break, pjoke. Come down to earth and get off the Orly Taitz cloud of illusion. Because her fifteen minutes of fame ended. She's just trying to revitalize it here in Nevada. And judging from the comments to this article...it ain't workin'. And it ain't gonna help Sharron Angle's election chances neither.
Why should Obama produce a birth certificate when not doing so drives his crazy enemies even crazier?
He's enjoying the show too much.
Good idea, LastThroes. That's a good strategy.
I say continue along like it is and show nobody any birth certificate at all. So we can watch the ultra right wingers jump up and down, scream in frustration.
And then when they settle down, we offer something to get them going again. Throw something out there that a long lost certificate of birth was discovered in some remote cave in Cechnya or something.
WE'LL SLOWLY DRIVE THEM BONKERS CRAZY!
Cool. That's the ticket.
All "birthers" and those who believe Obama to be Muslim should "help" Sharron Angle, et al some more!
Wow, Irving M., just wow. You must be way, way out there.
Stay "justified", dude. 2nd amendment available to us all.
Hello...FBI?...
Why would anybody spend even a dollar to prove anything to dolts like you?
birthers are idiots, plain and simple.
simple minded too.
