Orly Taitz is an (allegedly) Moldavian born[1] dentist real estate agent lawyer[2] professional time-waster, who, as a prominent birther, has provided too much grist for WorldNetDaily's craziness already. She is most famous for the large amount of TV coverage she received for waving around a birth certificate that she claims is President Barack Obama's Kenyan birth certificate, it however looks strangely like ones issued in South Australia at the time of Obama's birth.[3]

"Dr." Taitz[4] in her capacity as a crank "lawyer" has represented several people in legal cases against Obama. She obtained her law degree from William Howard Taft University, a correspondence-only university which is not accredited by the American Bar Association,[5] although she has been a member of the State Bar of California since 2002.[6] She is also allowed to appear before the Supreme Court.[7]

She received a $20,000 smack-down for frivolous lawsuits alleging that United States army personnel do not have to go to Iraq or Afghanistan because Obama isn't really president. [8] Following the case she was refereed to the State Bar of California for her conduct.[9]

Taitz's views are controversial even to other right wingers: in July 2009, Bill O'Reilly called her views "stupid" [10]. In response, Taitz organized a protest against O'Reilly's network, Fox News, on November 11 2009. Fox expected around 150 people to appear [11], but in fact the number of protesters was closer to 10. [12]

She has filed to run for California Secretary of State, but she screwed it up. [13]

The Mystery of Orly's Website

Orly Taitz's highly credible website.

In 2009, Orly Taitz's website defendourfreedoms.net began to suffer a litany of technical problems, namely security warning messages and severe latency. Taitz claimed variably that the problems were due to either Obama connected hackers attacking the site or the FBI trying to shut it down.

On March 12, the actual site owner took control of the blog to reveal the actual culprit: A third-party data mining application installed by Taitz for some unknown reason. According to the owner, Taitz had authorized the installation of the same application on her first blog, which she abandoned after alleging it had been sabotaged.[14]
