Dispatches from Birtherstan - for 6-7 July 2011

It's been pretty quiet of late in birtherstan. Oh, sure, you get the usual wingbat theories about the birth certificate, the usual de Vattel rants, and Dr. Orly going off her meds and screeching at things in general.

But they seem to be in the doldrums of late. Despite Carl Swensson's great idea of surrounding the Georgia Capitol building until they institute that state's birther bill, it and all the other birther bills that were going to keep Obama off the ballot have failed. The long form was released and the majority of people accept it. Donald Trump went from being their Great White Hope to a washed up has been. The Pest and eFail is now mostly whiney letters since they dropped comments.

And they don't have much else. Orly's lawsuit of the week. Sellin's sedition. Dr. Kate's conspiracy corner. This "birther summit" thingamabob. And the usual "He's not the president! He's not he's not he's not!! WAHHHH!!" tantrums.

But a surprising lack of news or info. Of course, as the 2012 primaries and general election gets closer, it might pick up again.

Anyway, the Pest and eFail comments on Dr. Orly's latest legal fumble. Corsi comes up with a brand new anonymous "expert". Dean Haskins reveals more about his "birther summit".

Lawrence Sellin comes up with two new "revolution now" articles written from the safety of his home in Helsinki. Dr. Kate's crowd finds a birther who's REALLY out there.

Joseph Farrah touts his seven "experts". And more info about the fact that President Obama's parents marriage was confirmed BEFORE HIS BIRTH by US Officials, oh, and his dad was a jerk too.
