Casey Guernsey

Orly Taitz, who represented Reps. Tim Jones and Cynthia Davis in their federal birther suit, has been ordered to pay $20,000 in sanctions for filing frivolous actions in a similar, but separate, lawsuit.

Jones has refused to comment publicly about his role in the lawsuit with Taitz, Davis and others, but Davis has proudly stood by her conspiracy theories.  Rep. Casey Guernsey signed on to help Taitz at one point as well. 

Frustrated with the proceedings of a mid-February hearing of the House Energy and Environment Committee, a citizen who testified briefly sent a frustrated email to the full membership of the committee.  He was frustrated with the way Chair Walt Bivens allocated time for different points of view. 

In response, Representatives Casey Guernsey (R-Bethany) and Tim Jones (R-Eureka) -- a pair of Republicans who collaborated last year in propagating birther conspiracy theories -- unleashed angry responses. The offending citizen letter and emails from Guernsey and Jones can be read below the break.  I've redacted the name of the individual who sent the letter -- his testimony is part of public committee documents, so I'll leave it to others if they want to criticize him by name. 

Steve Walsh caught up with Rep. Cynthia Davis (R-O'Fallon) at Lincoln Days to talk about her campaign to unseat Sen. Scott Rupp (R-Wentzville). She did not disappoint:

“Why is it a negative to talk about our principles and our values?” asks Davis. “That’s a positive. I’ve got nothing to hide. My voting record is strong and clear. He [Rupp] has got a lot to be ashamed of.”

While she is critical of Rupp, Davis has come in for a lot of criticism of her own. She has come under fire, especially in the left wing blogs, for being involved in what is known as the birther movement - the questioning of whether President Barack Obama was born in the United States and is constitutionally allowed to serve as Commander in Chief.

“They’re trying to create shame for people who ask questions,” replies Davis. “That defines the problem right there. Why is there shame in asking questions? It’s a legitimate question and Barack Obama has spent over a million dollars to try and not answer it. If I wanted to answer a question I’d show you my birth certificate if you cared that I was born in Chicago. Obviously, he’s embarrassed of where he’s born because he’s trying to hide the records.”

Absolutely insane.

The crazy for-profit birthermercial we mentioned last week did indeed air on KSPR last week. The general manager for KY3, Inc. (which runs KSPR) said "the opinions of this particular program may be a minority of our viewers, but certainly I think this group has the right to express themselves. I don't think it's libelous in any fashion."

In his story, Catanese said the conspiracy theorists "may be a fringe movement," and the post on the story at The Turner Report described the birthers as the "lunatic fringe." While I certainly agree that the birthers' accusations are pure lunacy, it's important to remember that the alleged "fringe" includes a disturbing number of high-ranking leaders in the Missouri Republican Party.  

Yesterday, Orly Taitz reminded her supporters of the great help she's received from Rep. Cynthia Davis (R-Pluto).  She misspelled the Representative's name in the headline -- but if we've learned anything from this whole birther saga, it's that no amount of incompetence or insanity on the part of Taitz will be enough for Davis or Rep. Tim Jones (R-Eureka) to withdraw from the suit.

Taitz new post is mostly a reprint of praise from one of her supporters, a David Crockett, who explained back in March: "It is the choice between upholding an defending the US Constitution against from all enemies both foreign and domestic or betraying it and be accomplish to tyranny and usurpation. There is no middle way." 

They may be insane, and they may be wasting a bunch of taxpayer money with this frivolous lawsuit, but you can't call Rep. Tim Jones (R-Eureka), Rep. Cynthia Davis (R-O'Fallon), lawyer/realtor/dentist Orly Taitz and their fellow birther wackos a bunch of quitters. 

Yesterday, Taitz published a final draft of a motion expected to be filed today that has to make Tim Jones, Esquire very, very proud. In it, Taitz explains that their August 6 filing with the forged birth certificate should not have been rejected for technical reasons, and that their pursuit of the truth about Obama's birth and citizenship should be allowed to proceed in federal court without being "obscured by trivial technicalities."

Via Talking Points Memo, it seems that a rival group of birther conspiracy theorists are turning on Orly Taitz. 

Internet Powerhouse Andy Martin says Orly Taitz has shown she is neither a "birther" nor a "doubter;" she is a nut case and an incompetent lawyer. Martin says he may be the "Godfather" of the "birther" movement but he disassociates himself from forged documents and delusional claims.

Rep. Casey Guernsey (R-Bethany) may have had enough, but House GOP leaders Tim Jones and Cynthia Davis are still fighting the good stupid birther fight in the federal courts.

New court documents filed yesterday show that Davis and Jones are holding firm to their debunked/discredited conspiracy theories about Barack Obama's citizenship. Guernsey was previously listed as a plaintiff in Chief Birther Orly Taitz' lawsuit against Obama, but is not a part of the latest filing.

It's a "constitutional crisis" with "major national security ramifications," Jones and Davis allege.

This morning, KTRS radio host Charles Jaco and Tony Messenger of the Post-Dispatch talked about yesterday's events with Orly Taitz in Jefferson City and St. Louis. Listen:

Much of their discussion focused on the influence of Taitz' followers in the House and Senate.

A dispatch from Tony Messenger of the Post-Dispatch:

Two Missouri state representatives today attended meetings conducted by Orly Taitz in which the California dentist questioned the validity of the presidency of Barack Obama.

Taitz alleges that Obama’s birth certificate is illegitimate, and even if it’s not, she says, he can’t be president because his father was Kenyan. She pushed her conspiracy theories and asked for money today at events in St. Charles and Jefferson City. Taitz said the Supreme Court is complicit in “illegal activity” for blocking her attempts to remove Obama from the presidency.

Rep. Cynthia Davis, R- O’Fallon, who has gotten a bit of national attention lately, was at the event in St. Charles, though she said she was just seeking information, according to a Jo Mannies blog post.

We finally received a response to requests for information about the July 1 meetings with Orly Taitz in St. Louis and Jefferson City. Here's what local organizer Sarah Brooks had to say:

I am familiar with your SMEAR Journalism (sic). You are not welcome at either events (sic). If you do show up, we will be forced to call security.

Thanks,
Sarah B.

Taitz claimed on July 20 that five state representatives would be attending. She later announced the participation of Sen. Jim Lembke, but has now removed the post about Lembke from her website. We have confirmed that Rep. Mike McGhee will attend.

Suffice it to say, the identification of Fired Up! Missouri as an integral cog in the faceless, nameless, treasonous Obama enterprise has generated a bit of fan mail. It would be a shame if the work of these Constitutional Crusaders toiled in obscurity, so we figured we share some of the more passionate responses.

Heres what reader JB had to say:

I think that Sen. Lempke, Rep. Davis and Rep. Jones are heroes.  There are not enough men in this country like them with enough guts to stand up for justice for the American people.  Anyone with any intelligence at all can see that something is not right.  What president would not want to show his original birth certificate.  And why would he spend thousands of dollars to keep from showing it to the American people.  Wake up America.  We have been had by the far left but with people such as Dr. Orly Taitz and these senators and representative we can overcome this injustice.

Seriously: at what point does Orly Taitz's conspiracy theory crusade become too much for elected legislators to support?  Sen. Jim Lembke, Rep. Mike McGhee, Rep. Tim Jones, Rep. Cynthia Davis and Rep. Casey Guernsey have all publicly supported Orly Taitz's birther lawsuits, either as plaintiffs or as exepcted guests for this week's events.  

In just the past 24 hours, Taitz has written about the arrival of the American "Nazi state" and her concern with Obama's alleged homosexuality.  This is what Taitz posted early this morning:

To be quite honest, I am less concerned with Sanford’s affair with a Latin beauty, as I am with Larry Sinklair’s reports about Donald Young being Obama’s homosexual lover and being found shot in the head execution style at the onset of the Democratic Primary...

As for AP and the rest of MSM, if I were to sit on their boards, I would be reading very closely and very carefully my dossiers sent to FBI, as it shows AP and the rest of MSM as employers of Barry and Michelle Obama, as reported on the Net databases. Too many way-back machines are scanning the net these days, you can’ t scrub everything and I’ll be really worried about being named as an additional defendant, if someone were to file a RICO suit...

These aren't sporadic departures from reality.  It's very standard stuff from Taitz and her allies. And it can't be dismissed as just wacko internet chatter when so many members of the General Assembly choose to support this junk.

We've been writing about Orly Taitz's July 1 events in Missouri for fellow Obama birth certificate conspiracy theorists, and Taitz is not impressed. Last night on her blog, Taitz posted this about me and the Fired Up! coverage of her support from Sen. Jim Lembke, Rep. Mike McGhee, Rep. Tim Jones, Rep. Cynthia Davis and Rep. Casey Guernsey.

Please write letters of support to those State Representatives and Senator, who have the guts to stand up to usurper Obama. We are sick of Obama’s thugs, like this moron writing under firedupmissouri.com, who has no guts to even give his name . We are fed up with faceless, nameless criminals, who are hacking our blogs, changing pay-pal  addresses and erasing info from the docket of the Supreme Court. I hope our law enforcement and judiciary wakes up before they are found guilty of treason together with Obama.

We've been trying to nail down details about the July 1 birther events in St. Louis and Jefferson City, but are having trouble figuring out exactly when and where they will take place.

As we've been reporting, California lawyer and attorney Orly Taitz is leading an online and legal crusade to prove  Barack Obama is not an American citizen, and that he's illegally usurped the presidency to further his "radical communist, radical Muslim" agenda. Missouri State Reps. Tim Jones, Cynthia Davis and Casey Guernsey have signed on to one of Taitz's lawsuits, and Sen. Jim Lembke and Rep. Mike McGhee are announced guests of honor at Taitz's July 1 events.
