Is Rick Perry A Birther?
Birther queen, Orly Taitz was seen talking with Presidential candidate Rick Perry at a campaign event. Taitz was carrying a sign that said, “Go Perry 2012.”
After Perry’s speech, Taitz stood in an autograph line. The video is difficult to make out, but she can be heard saying, “Get Obama,” and “will have him in prison for Social Security fraud.”
Think Progress asked her about the conversation.
KEYES: I saw you were able to get a bit of face time with Governor Perry on the line. What did you talk with him about?
TAITZ: [...] From what I understood, he knew who I was and what I was talking about. [...] I told him that you will get Obama, you will have him in prison for Social Security fraud. [...]
KEYES: Did Governor Perry seem very receptive to your messages?
TAITZ: Yes.
KEYES: Do you think he’ll be taking that message forward, particularly with the birth certificate issue? Are you hopeful that he will?
TAITZ: I’m pretty sure they will, but I’m also sure that their strategy will be to wait and use it at the last possible moment to make sure that there is no primary challenger in the Democrat Party.

Taitz claimed she was invited to the event by a local GOP group.
Is Perry a birther? Taitz seems to think so. It’s possible that Perry was simply being polite, but Taitz is such a political lightning rod that a savvy candidate would avoid her like the plague, unless Perry is courting the birther crowd.

No. Rick Perry is a Deather. He always errs on the side of death. He just put a man to death in Texas for a murder that the state of Texas admits he didn’t commit. He has 3 more executions in the next week.
As one comedian put it the whole Tea Party is one big Death Panel.

Oh Lord, not this dumb ‘birther’ sh$t again. Good God, move on to something else a little more constructive, Tea Party. Oh, wait, you’re the party of ‘Destructive’: My apologies for getting your mantra wrong.
