Below The Beltway

Orly Taitz has made a name for herself over the past several months as what one writer called the “Queen Bee” of the people obsessed with Barack Obama’s citizenship.
Now, she’s dispensing medical advice and telling her readers not to get the flu vaccine because it’s part of some vast worldwide conspiracy that will kill us [...]

Former CIA analyst Michael Scheurer was on Glenn Beck’s program yesterday and suggested that the best thing that could happen to America would be for al Qaeda to destroy an American city:

Of course, Beck, who’s built his Fox show entirely around paranoia, said nothing to challenge a comment that, if it came from a Democrat, [...]

This time, he’s talking about hanging Senators and completely mis-stating history:
Wurzelbacher has a reputation for being a blunt, politically incorrect speaker. Referring to Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., more than once, Wurzelbacher asked, “Why hasn’t he been strung up?”
And he glosses over facts. Referring to the Constitution as “almost like the Bible,” Wurzelbacher said of the [...]

It looks like things are about to go from bad to worse for the former Senator and Vice-Presidential candidate:
Former presidential candidate John Edwards is out of luck if he hoped that the extramarital affairs of Gov. Mark Sanford and Sen. John Ensign would take people’s minds off his own cheating scandal.
Former Edwards aide Andrew Young [...]

Via Dr. Conspiracy comes news that the crazies pursuing the baseless allegations that Barack Obama is not eligible to be President have turned on themselves:
In a move long anticipated, Philadelphia lawyer Phil Berg, anti-Obama activist and judicial candidate has filed suit against Orly Taitz on behalf of individuals who have come under attack recently by [...]

The case against public education, Exhibit XLVIII:
For seven years, the Los Angeles Unified School District has paid Matthew Kim a teaching salary of up to $68,000 per year, plus benefits.
His job is to do nothing.
Every school day, Kim’s shift begins at 7:50 a.m., with 30 minutes for lunch, and ends when the bell at his [...]

This time in an interview in Christianity Today, Samuel Wurzelbacher the fake plumber opines on the subject of gay marriage:
In the last month, same-sex marriage has become legal in Iowa and Vermont. What do you think about same-sex marriage at a state level?
At a state level, it’s up to them. I don’t want it to [...]

Yesterday, we noted that Minnesota’s crazy Republican Congresswoman was blaming Democrats for a Swine Flu panic that actually occurred under a Republican President.
Today, she’s invented a piece of anti-trade legislation called the Hoot-Smalley Act, which FDR apparently signed into law:

By the way, those “Roaring 20’s” she refers to ? Yea, that was a Federal Reserve [...]

I’m no fan of hate crimes legislation, mostly because I don’t believe that it matters one bit if someone murderers someone because they want their wallet, or if they do it because of their race, religion, or gender.
That said, these comments by North Carolina Republican Virginia Foxx are both wrong and stupid:

H/T: William K. Wolfrum [...]

She can’t even get it right when it comes to history:
Bachmann, speaking on Pajamas TV, noted: “I find it interesting that it was back in the 1970s that the swine flu broke out then under another Democrat president Jimmy Carter. And I’m not blaming this on President Obama, I just think it’s an interesting coincidence.”
