Bachmann to Lead Birther-Filled Lineup at Taking America Back Conference
Source: Washington Independent

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) will headline September’s Taking America Back conference, an event that includes notable “birthers” Jerome Corsi, Aaron Klein, Joseph Farah and Alan Keyes. In fact, of the 15 speakers, at least nine have expressed doubt that President Obama was born in the United States.

The event, to be held in Miami from Sept. 16 to 18, offers attendees a choice between “the world of standards and morality, self-government and accountability to God or the world of tyranny and ever-changing moral codes enforced by government.” The 15 speakers include a who’s who of the “birther” movement, and many have ties to the conservative website WorldNetDaily, which is the event’s sponsor. That site’s managing editor and a conference speaker, David Kupelian, penned the piece, “Why I care about Obama eligibility issue.”

Kupelian’s boss, WND founder Farah, is also outspoken in his belief that Obama might not have been born in the United States. Farah has been instrumental in plugging Corsi’s book, Obama Nation, which questions the legality of an Obama presidency.

Also speaking alongside Bachmann is former Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.), who shares similar views with birthers, having once said, “Send Obama back to Kenya.”

Another DUer coined it and I think it's my favorite name for the half-termer. A close second is Lady Blah Blah.

8. The further right someone like Bachmann can move her supporters the less likely that they'll ever
vote Dem.

12. Back where? The Stone Age?
"Taking America Back"? Seriously, that name smacks more of a red-faced toddler grabbing a toy and screaming, "Mine," or maybe a bunch of a scary old reactionaries, than of empowering Joe and Jane Citizen.

14. "notable birthers”
Isn't that kind of like a "creation scientist" or a "republican think tank"?
