Daily Show's Jon Stewart Eviscerates Birthers, Orly Taitz, Lou Dobbs and Especially Congressman John Campbell

The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Mon - Thurs 11p / 10c

Political Humor Joke of the Day

Man, oh man, the opening bit on last night's The Daily Show With Jon Stewart scored a direct hit on the nutbar birther movement, which pushes its hate screed that Barack Hussein Obama was not born in the U.S. and is unconstitutionally qualified to be president.

As you'll see above, host Jon Stewart takes aim in particular at Laguna Niguel's Orly Taitz, who has filed the unsuccessful lawsuits meant to torpedo Obama's presidency. Best line: You know, I think the lost Gabor sister is right. Wait, she's an attorney, a dentist and a real estate agent."

But Rep. John Campbell (R-Newport Beach), who is among the Republicans who have listened to the birthers by sponsoring legislation to require birth certificates from presidential candidates, fares even worse. After he is shown on Hardball With Chris Matthews saying "As far as I know" Obama is qualified to be president, Stewart says that's a way for politicians to appear in the mainstream while winking to the wack pack.

Best line of the bit: "I have no reason to believe Congressman Campbell spends his time surreptitiously giving out dollar tug jobs at the local rest stop. All I'm doing is introducing legislation to catch this motherf*&@er."

The writers at the Daily Show knocked the birther movement out of the park. That includes Yellowstone National Park. And where is the birther movement finding fresh manure to feed its bat-shit crazy sprouts? Reagan Country, of course! Good ol' Orange County, California.

How any Newport Beach resident - Pacific Club member- Balboa Bay Club schmoozing Republicans can watch that clip and nod their knuckled heads in approval is just amazing. Their reply from behind the Orange Curtain to the barrage of irrefutable proof of Obama's U.S. citizenship is exactly as Jon Stewart said: "And..?" It's not like they want an answer to their burning question, they just want the debate to last longer than the legend of Bill Clinton's murder of Vince Foster.

By the way, isn't John Campbell the one who replaced Chris Cox in the 48th district? If this is true, you could put a huge dent in the birther movement just by scuttling the "Welcome Home Chris Cox" boat in the middle of Newport Harbor.

Listen, you moron. Ask Federal District Court Judge David O. Carter if he intends to throw out Keyes v. Obama for 'lack of standing. By the way, moron, Orly Taitz is originally from Moldava [former U.S.S.R.] and not Hungary ['Gabor sister']. She emigrated to Israel [have a problem with that?], was graduated from Jerusalem University and then received training in dentistry. She emigrated to the U.S. to marry, raise a family and practice dentistry. She then attended the William Howard Taft Law School (accredited by the California State Bar), received her J.D. and sat for the bar exam. She passed on the first attempt. She speaks five languages. Now give us your resume, moron.

Anyone who touts Jon Stewart as an authority on anything is pathetic. You are pathetic. Your screed confirms that the OC Weekly is nothing but a tabloid rag better suited for dealing with human excrement!

Can you folks in California please restrain your village idiot? Can't you at least keep her in your state? Does the California Bar simply lack a disciplinary division? Seriously, get your house in order out there and put a stop to this woman, take her damn law license away already, she is a menace to the judicial system and a total embarrassment to the profession!

California must be so proud! UGH.

The only thing that John Stewart missed was that Ms. Taitz is a contributor to Mr. Campbell's re-election campaign.

Saladinn says:

Ask Federal District Court Judge David O. Carter ...

The judge in question asked Ms. Taitz to resubmit her petition in its correct, legal form, so he could understand her arguments. The method by which the petition was written was more a scattered screed than an actual legal document. That's the reason he asked her to resubmit, because he didn't understand what her exact legal arguements are.

My wife and I went to Dr. Taitz Esq. about 8 years ago after moving to the area. The experience was so bad that neither of us had the confidence to return to a dentist for six years. We've since found a great dentist and my teeth are much better now.

I couldn't help but laugh at 1 of the comments on this page (2nd 1 to be precise) which seems extremely upset at Jon Stewart for citing Lou Dobbs own show in order to mock Lou Dobbs! This segment of Jon Stewart is beyond funny - it's CLASSIC! I dislike Obama's policies greatly - wished Ron Paul won personally... but all these rants against Obama's place of birth is messing up what is left of the GOP image...

No, silly; Keyes has standing.

Judge Carter will dismiss for failure to state a claim. (Just like how Keyes lost in Keyes v. Bowen.)

Listen you FOOL - William Howard Taft University is an INTERNET LAW SCHOOL. It is NOT accredited by the ABA - in fact the California Bar does NOT accredit law schools. Any moron can sit for the California bar exam - and the fact that Taitz is licensed by California - any moron can pass.

In short: trust her, she's a lawyer!

She screwed up my dad's crown and told my brother the nerve treatment procedure an oral surgeon referred him for "doesn't exist". So if she's as good a lawyer as she is a dentist, I predict she'll screw up her paperwork and claim Obama's birth certificate doesn't exist... oh wait...

Church Lady says:

I saw a close-up of Barack Hussein Obama's birth certificate from the Hawaii Dept. of Health. Check it out for yourself....The Certificate Number is: 151 1961 010641

Now pay attention here.

151 + 1961 + 010641 = 12753

Now add up the individual digits....
1 + 2 + 7 + 5 + 3 = 18

You know what that means?

18 = 6 + 6 + 6

Do I have to spell it out for you? 666 people!!!!! THE MARK OF THE BEAST!

Lord Jesus, COME QUICKLY!

thanks for bringing this interesting issue of 666 to my attention, Church Lady. My name adds up to 666 too. Maybe i'll go head to head vying for the top beast spot! haha!

I pray that Her Orly-ness continues to get TV appearances - although it will be tough to top her previous work with Boris Badenov back in the 60's.

I just had a thought - do you suppose that "Dr Polarik" is really Boris??? That would totally explain everything!!!!!

Orly Taitz is an idiot. I saw her on TV saying that a child born in the US can be a US citizen only if the parents are US citizens!

What a load of crap! Why, just yesterday, I saw a couple on H-1 visa show me the US passport of their baby who was born in the US.

Whirlaway says:


So Taitz has been a dentist, a lawyer AND a real estate agent? Looks like either she is a serial scam artist or is so pathetic in dentistry and law and real estate that even she doesn't know where her next penny is going to come from!

D. Simms says:

I haven't seen any evidence Orly Taitz isn't still working for the KGB. At the end of the Cold War the KGB released a large number of its agents to flood Western countries, especially the United States, in retribution for causing the Soviet Union to fail. These moles were given orders to "lay low" until they could resurface to cause the most havoc and damage to their sworn enemies - that would be us. The actions of Orly Taitz are consistent with those aims. Her actions are designed to damage trust in the US government while undermining the US military and the Republican Party. Who is investigating this person? Who is investigating all these "former" KGB agents?

Actually, it's not accredited. WHTU is an online college and no online school is accredited for law. It is not accredited by either the American Bar Association or the State Bar of California. WHTU is not even seeking accreditation because it is ineligible for it.

Nice try, moron. Maybe YOU should do some research before buying into scam artists like Taitz.

Tani_S says:

Orly Taitz is a destroyer of an entire community. I go to a high school where her children used to attend and due to personal issues with the administration went on a vendetta for months at a time, wasting thousands of dollars (not to mention hundreds of pounds of paper) trying to ruin any aspect of my school. She at one point began stalking certain administrator's; going into their bank accounts leading to the resignation of my Dean of Students who has since fled the state. Orly has not only ruined the life of an amazing person whose intentions were only for the benefit of her students, but has scarred an entire community who after a year is still feeling the after math of her psychotic rant. She is a pathetic excuse of a professional and an embarrassment to my community. I only hope she realizes one day how much of a nuisance she is to society.

Anastasia says:

Orly Taitz should be arrested for inciting rebellion, she has repeatedly called for and armed rebellion in the United States and she has even said the military should turn on President Obama. She has already fled to Israel just 2 days after giving a forged Kenyan birth certificate to the 9th Circut Court, and papers have been filed in California for her dis-barrment. She should be brought back from Isreal and tried for Treason.
