Remember good ole Oily Taints, er, ORLY TAITZ? She’s the attorney/dentist/real estate agent that has been the most visible face of the anti-Obama “Birthers”, who believe that Obama is not a natural U.S. citizen and therefore not legally allowed to be the President. I first wrote about her in August, 2009 in a post called “Who is Orly Taitz?”
It appears she’s been feeling the heat because she is under “increasing legal attack in the United States from groups and individuals opposed to her legal actions challenging the Constitutional qualifications of Barrack Hussein Obama to hold the office of President of the United States.”
Where does she turn? The United Nations, of course, where she has appealed for “urgent action under the mandate for human rights defenders.” Taitz claims she has been the victim of death threats, vandalism, false complaints, and a suspected assassination attempt and that her reports to law enforcement have been ignored.
Orly Taitz is the lawyer leading the charge that Barack Obama is not a U.S. citizen and therefore isn’t legally the president. She’s been quiet for a few months but apparently has now pissed off a judge in Georgia.
“Her response…is breathtaking in its arrogance and borders on delusional. ”
“…failed to make coherent legal arguments but instead wasted the Court’s time with press conference sound bites and speeches.”
“…she continues her baseless attacks on the Court.”
In 1959 a man named Alan Abel hatched an elaborate media hoax, beginning with a story on the Today Show about movement called the Society for Indecenty to Naked Animals (SINA). SINA’s mission was to clothe naked animals throughout the world (their tagline: “A nude horse is a rude horse“). Abel and SINA “spokeman”, Buck Henry (of SNL fame and writer of “The Graduate”), appeared on many television and radio shows including the CBS Evening News.
Flash forward to present day: Orly Taitz. Lawyer, Real Estate Broker, Black Belt, Dentist, Mother of three and Obama Birther. In fact, she’s quickly become the face of the Birther “Movement” (although I don’t actually think it qualifies as a movement).
A Birther is the meme for someone who believes that President Obama was not born in the United States and therefore shouldn’t be eligble to be president. Taitz has allegedly filed one or more lawsuits related to this belief. For more on the “birthers” go here: Meet the Birthers
I first heard of Dr. Taintz…er…Taitz last week, when she appeared on The Colbert Report.
At first I thought it was a bit (like when Colbert interviewed David Cross portraying the fictional “Liberal Talk Show host, Russ Lieber“).
The phrase “O RLY?” (“Oh, really?”) is an Internet meme typically used in a sarcastic manner, often in response to a statement that the speaker feels is obvious, or blatantly false and/or self-contradictory. (apparently it also means “Light” in Hebrew?)
And her last name is Taitz. Which sounds a heckofalot like taints, and everyone knows that taint is the slang term for the perineum (t’aint your balls, t’aint your asshole).
IS ORLY TAITZ REAL? My friend Ty thinks she’s a performance artist in the vein of Borat or Tony Clifton… or perhaps even Alan Abel?
Here’s the website of her two Dental offices (one in Mission Viejo and one in Ranch Santa Margarita): http://drtaitz.com. There’s a picture of Orly with her staff on the site.
I called the number of the office (949) 586-8110 and got a recording that sounded very dentist office-like. (I didn’t leave a message)
Here’s a Google street view of the Mission Viejo Office. There is one review on Google Maps written Aug 4th which is obviously a joke.
The Google street view of the other office in Ranch Santa Margarita isn’t very revealing.
Is Orly Taitz a Lawyer?
According to the website of the State Bar of California, a Orly Taitz is a lawyer. The address on the site is the same as her Mission Viejo Dentist Office. But the phone number is different…(949) 683-5411. I called it but it went straight to voicemail (with a man’s voice saying it was Orly Taitz’s voicemail).
Apparently she went to Hebrew University in Jerusalem Israel for undergad. I can’t tell you much about that because much the site is, well, in HEBREW! (go figure).
Ms. Taitz apparently got her law degree from William Howard Taft Univ which is an “online university” not accredited by the American Bar Association.
Where is Orly Taitz from?
The bastion of right-wingish journalistic integrity, World Net Daily says “She was born and raised in Kishinev (also spelled Chisinau), the capital of the Republic of Moldova, a country in Eastern Europe that was formerly part of the Soviet Union.” Of course, it also says she speaks 5 languages (English, Russian, Romainian, Hebrew and Spanish), holds a real estate broker’s license (expired) a second degree black belt (unverified).
I will be expecting her to provide proof of the black belt post haste.
