Is "birther" leader Orly Taitz a Sasha Baron Cohen character?

I haven't been able to put it into words until now, but there's that weird unnatural hair, the makeup, and the slighhtly offputting accent....

There's just something about her that seems unnaturally weird.

Unbelievable. I can't really comment because didn't make it past halfway.

Did you get to the part where she calls Shuster a brown shirt nazi and he says, "as someone whose relatives died in a death camp I find that incredibly offensive"?

More broadly, I think it's telling that she's the spokesperson for the movement.

The birther movement was created to discredit the 9/11 truth movement.

I think it says more about the state of the media than anything. I guess some people find it entertaining.

Not bad, Ron. Maybe we should create a scale. "fake" moon landing. Alien abductions. Loch Ness. Chupacabra.

This one might well be at the bottom of the scale because there's PORVEN evidence against it.

....

Anon, there's definitely a point there, too. The media is giving this weirdo her platform.
