Vigilance: I’m Banning Birfers, Truthers, and Groups Affiliated Therewith We’ve always banned truthers at RedState. Increasingly, we have also banned a number of individuals who think Barack Obama is disqualified from being President because despite the Republican Governor of Hawaii confirming the legitimacy of the Democratic President’s birth origin as a citizen of the United States these birthers (”birfers” because it sounds as crazy as they are) refuse to move on. Today I want to reaffirm and make it more definitive. If you think 9/11 was an inside job or you really want to debate whether or not Barack Obama is an American citizen eligible to be President, RedState is not a place for you. Birfers and Truthers are not welcome here. Period. End of Story. But I want to expand on this too. The tea party movement is in danger of getting a bad reputation for allowing birfers and truthers to share the stage. At the National Tea Party, Joseph Farah treated the birfer issue as legitimate. In Texas, tea party activists have rallied to Debra Medina who, just yesterday, refused to definitely dismiss the 9/11 truther conspiracy as crackpot nonsense. If a candidate cannot do that, we cannot help that candidate. It’s that simple. So we arrive at one of those moments where I am fully prepared to part ways with the individuals and groups willing to share the stage and treat as legitimate the crazies who believe the President was born in Kenya, the crazies who believe our government was complicit September 11th terrorist attacks … two groups, incidentally that increasingly overlap. This sets us up for attacks from the left and from within that we must anticipate. It is one thing to separate ourselves from these individuals and groups. It is quite another to know that these people are among us. We should be careful. All of us have an obligation to vet those who we ally with. Just because someone is stridently against the size of government does not make him an ally if he also believes the U.S. Army blew up the World Trade Center. Such a person brings disrepute on us all, deservedly so. On the other hand, it may not be known that someone is a birfer or truther. We should be willing to show each other good grace and a measure of understanding in dealing with the troublesome fringe. We should also remember it was the Clintonistas who started the birfer rumor and the most vocal truthers live in Hollywood and voted for Obama. That is not, however, an excuse for us to associate with the nuts. The media never runs stories about the Communist Party USA’s routine pronouncements in favor of Barack Obama. The media has never run legitimate stories about Barack Obama’s ties to the communist oriented New Party in Chicago. Obama gets a pass even on radicals whose support he personally solicited and those he personally befriended for years. But the moment a birfer opens his mouth and spouts his stupidity from the stage of a tea party rally it becomes headline news on every news network. Complain all you like that that’s not fair, but it’s the world we live in. We must be vigilant. We must be willing to draw a line in the sand and stand against fatuous nonsense that opens up the right to attacks by a left-leaning media intent on embarrassing the good people who have developed through the tea party movement a renewed sense of civic involvement. Birfers and Truthers have no place among us. And they are most decidedly not welcome at RedState.

Saul Alinsky remains alive and well. No questioning the edicts from the nanny state or it's god like (I should use the Jewish word Messianic) participants allowed there.
People who challenge anti-semites @ 4um are not welcome there.
I’ll see what I can do about posting a more current pic, if you really want one. Badeye posted on 2003-03-15 09:26:22 ET Reply Trace Those who have whole organizations designed to yell "antisemite" at the drop of a hat brought it on themselves.
Alex Jones is a moonbat who whenever he debates anyone gets humiliated to the point of having to admit that he's wrong...so that's a two way mirror, mon frer... Free public Speech and free private associations are sometimes incompatible... both Goldi and Christine are well within their rights to limit who posts there just as I am within my rights to bitch about both here...

my anti groupie can't get through life without me.
Speaking of kooks, it appears the CA Bar is finally conducting an investigation into Orly Taitz. Orly says so herself. Of course Orly wouldn't be Orly if she didn't go ahead and attack the same bar that will determine is she keeps her license. It worked so well on the numerous judges shes appeared before and the Supreme Court, why quit when you're losing?
Speaking of fookin kooks, what's been the delay, skippy? Sneakypete, have you ever been married? Said things you later regretted?
They take their time. Maybe after losing her law license she'll move up with the rest of you welfare-sucking losers in Alaska. She's incompetent enough to be your governor.
sucking losers Didn't you claim she was going to be disbarred last year, liberal, troll pole smoker? You and hagatha must use similar mind-altering substances. Or are you just plain fookin retarded? That would be you, pole-smoker. Sneakypete, have you ever been married? Said things you later regretted?
