More Birther madness: Taitz kicked off of O'Donnell's show; Trump continues narcissistic meltdown

I have been pretty out of it for a couple of days (neuropathy again), so I haven't been able to do more than put out a few Tweets and Facebook posts, but I had to put this up because the birther madness is simply out of control.

The President put out his long-form birth certificate, basically to shut up Donald Trump (who at this point is either a plant by Dems or is terminally narcissistic batsh*t), but it has only served to up the ante for birthers like Orly Taitz. She was on the Lawrence O'Donnell show and he just got plain tired of the trash.

Expecting an apology from Orly Taitz she instead went off on a rant about President Obama lying about his social security number. Unable to get her to comment on the birth certificate, O'Donnell tells his crew to get her out of here. Get her off this show.

At TPM Muckracker, it's clear Taitz is off-the-rails in questioning the birth certificate. The ignorance is astounding:

Specifically, Taitz thinks that the birth certificate should peg Obama's race as "Negro" and not "African."

"In those years ... when they wrote race, they were writing 'Negro' not 'African'," Taitz says. "In those days nobody wrote African as a race, it just wasn't one of the options. It sounds like it would be written today, in the age of political correctness, and not in 1961 when they wrote white or Asian or 'Negro'."

Taitz says she's not giving up her fight. She also claims Obama isn't a "natural born citizen" because she uses a standard that requires both parents to be American citizens -- a misreading of the Constitution which if enforced would have rendered several other American Presidents ineligible.

Back to The Donald, he gave a bizarre press conference where he declared to the world that he was "very proud of himself" for purportedly forcing Obama to release the long form birth certificate.

Satisfied with himself he also questioned how Obama could have gotten into Harvard - as if his grades didn't suffice. Well, gee, can we talk about former POTUS George W. Bush's legacy entry into Yale?

Former WH Press Sec Robert Gibbs also raised the issue of Trump's promise to release his taxes when the birth certificate was produced. Wouldn't you know it - The Donald is now stalling. (The Politico):

"Donald Trump said he'd release his tax returns as soon as the president released his birth certificate, so the ball is in his court now and I know everybody is anxious to see his tax returns over the last 10 years," Gibbs told POLITICO.

At a Wednesday morning news conference in New Hampshire following the president's release of his birth certificate, Trump repeatedly ignored questions about whether he'd fulfill his pledge.
