‘Birther’ Advocate Orly Taitz Loses Bid in California

[BrentWil]

Source: Wall Street Journal

Among the most curious what-if scenarios in Tuesday night’s primary was the possibility that Orly Taitz, widely known as the Birther Queen, might win the Republican primary for secretary of state in California.

It wasn’t even close. Former NFL player Damon Dunn beat Taitz by about 3-to-1. He will face Democratic incumbent Debra Bowen in the fall.

Taitz gained national attention for filing lawsuits alleging President Barack Obama was not born in the U.S. and therefore was ineligible for the highest office in the land.

Taitz fared poorly on a night when GOP women generally performed well at the polls.

[BrentWil]

2. There Now. Sorry. NT

[Ian David]

3. Send her some pancakes.

[Iggo]

15. Oh dear.

Oh dear, oh dear.

[Lochloosa]

23. That is...ummmm (right word).....disturbing

[leftofcool]

4. Tweety called her a malignancy

[Lil Missy]

5. There was a conspiracy against her! Obama was behind it!

:tinfoilhat:

[Turbineguy]

6. She'll probably sue

Does the current Secretary have a birth certificate?

[Mike Daniels]

10. She apparently tried to make the case that her primary opponent wasn't qualified to run

Heard it on Keith or Rachel last night...apparently the opponent had once been registered as a Democrat in another state and she tried to get him disqualified on those grounds.

7. I missed the part about

Tweety calling Orly an malignancy. The short time I was watching him he kept talking like she'd won the damn thing and speculated how Whitman and Fiorino would deal with it. Chuck Todd pretty much had to tell him to stop it and one of the other guests concurred pointing out that Taitz was far behind in the vote.

The whole thing was bizarre. Tweety was talking like she'd won. :crazy:

[Mike Daniels]

11. To be fair, Keith and Rachel were playing up the same story

I guess early CA results showed it to be tight at the beginning with Taitz actually in the lead.

[Critters2]

20. Yeah. I saw that, too. I thought she was winning. nt

[msanthrope]

8. I can't wait for Orly to demand a recount.

Obviously,there's a conspiracy that kept her from winning.

[no_hypocrisy]

12. Where's Dunn's birth certificate?

[msanthrope]

17. Long form only, mind you!!! n/t

[jmowreader]

26. When two things get together to form one act, it's a conspiracy

In this case...

(1) Orly Taitz is crazier than a shithouse rat, and everyone knows it.
(2) The people of California don't want a Secretary of State who won't do anything but file lawsuits against the President of the United States.
(3) There was a Republican on the ballot who will do something besides sue the president if he gets elected.
and
(4) Because Orly is amusing but not THAT amusing, thousands of Democrats crossed party lines to vote for the other guy.

So yeah, I GUESS you'd call it a conspiracy...

[Robeson]

9. Good.

[Scurrilous]

13. Alas.

:P

[Crowman1979]

14. Another dumbass move from the Teabaggers! Keep it up.

BTW, never run against a pro-athlete or retired military candidate. Because, you'll always lose.


Wait a minute, why the hell should I help them with advice. No, go ahead and spend to oblivion till you go off the cliff. KEEP GOING!

[and-justice-for-all]

16. Does she have proof of her citizenship?

because I do not think she was born here. :sarcasm:

[kestrel91316]

18. Oily Titz to file bogus lawsuit over this in 3...2...1...

[alp227]

19. Amazing she managed to even get 26% of the vote. n/t

[sakabatou]

21. She'll blame the loss on Obama... maybe try another lawsuit.

[liberation]

22. "O rly" her name is "Orly?" you just can make this sh*t up some times.

[annabanana]

24. DAMN!. .That would've been a *hoot*!. . . . . n/t

[brooklynite]

25. Before we laugh at Orly's debacle...

...bear in mind that she got 370,000 votes -- more than the entire population of St. Louis.

[truthisfreedom]

28. Pretty scary I think.

Way too many freaks out there.

[davidpdx]

27. Another lose for the birther queen

Maybe it's time for a facelift and a frontal lobotomy Orly.
