OC Birther Claims Twitter is Censoring Her

Orly Taitz says her followers are being kicked off the site for circulating an Obama conspiracy theory petition.

Birther Orly Taitz says Twitter is stopping her followers from posting a petition to investigate President Barack Obama's identity.

On Tuesday, attorney Taitz posted a note saying Twitter "is collaborating with the regime of the Usurper Obama" by suspending the accounts of her followers.

Taitz's claim to fame is her bid to prove Obama is using forged identification to document his citizenship. She has lost eight legal cases related to the effort.

She said supporters have collected 20,000 signatures urging an investigation of the president, but Twitter is interfering. As evidence, Taitz published an email from someone who allegedly had two accounts suspended for circulating the petition. The follower still has three Twitter accounts with "no ties to each other, other than I support (Taitz) and tweet against Obama."

The Twitter rules page says "we do not actively monitor user’s content and will not censor user content, except in limited circumstances." One of those circumstances is the creation of multiple accounts using the same updates. Violations can result in permanent suspension, the site says.

Meanwhile, Taitz, who has claimed residency in Rancho Santa Margarita, Laguna Niguel and Mission Viejo on different court documents, is preparing a bus tour of Washington D.C. to protest the president's State of the Union address.

Since a federal judge told her the courts can't stop Obama's presidency, Taitz has also begun lobbying Congress to impeach the president.

Last week, a federal judge ordered Taitz to prove she didn't lie to him about being sanctioned in a previous case.

Modern TV has moved to cable. Still, there are the occasional shows like "House MD" orRead More "Elementary" that work well. "The Big Bang Theory" is waaaay better than "Three's Company" Anything is better than "The Love Boat" Or are you nostalgic for "Bonanza" where the dad looks 55, and his three sons about 48? Reality shows are just ways of pissing off more people who think "Well, I can do that!" or "Look at those fake housewives!"

Hi Charlie, So McDonald's sold it. That was hardly the point of the piece was it? And I wasn'tRead More bashing Chipotle, Charlie, I was bashing our collective notion that education is about "getting a better job." I was bashing our total disrespect for education and educators. The last thing we need to do it bash their unions. We need to take a look at the leadership of the union but the vehicle of the union is all that stands between us and corporate greed.

In what respect, Charlie?

Dan, I read your blog about the Free Burrito for Teachers. I happen to support Chipotle, and ownRead More stock in them. One thing you need to research. THEY ARE NOT OWNED BY MCDONALDS ANYMORE!!! As I do agree, teachers are under paid, but offering something like Chipotle did is great. I think we need to bash their unions instead of great companies like Chipotle who are just offering a benefit.

Now wait a second—UV exposure causes skin cancer, and sunscreen prevents UV exposure, right?Read More And so what if the neighborhood hounds tend to give you a little extra attention while you're wearing it? It's a small price to pay I'd say.

I know where they should be issuing speeding tickets: Marguerite Pkwy. between Crown Valley andRead More Avery Parkway between 6:10 and 6:25 a.m. Tuesday through Friday. Teens are frantically rushing to get to CVHS upper lot before it gets full. Every morning I see kids running red lights, speeding and weaving in and out of traffic with no regard for anyone else.

The MV motorcycle cops are all over the place. I'd like to know the number of traffic citationsRead More issued in MV versus our other neighboring cities.

Why are all the Motorcycle cops in MV OVERWEIGHT???

I've got some good news for the Mission Viejo Patch Whiners (®). It seems we're still migratingRead More a lot of the old content onto the new site. Expect to see videos repopulated soon, and I believe comments as well.

That rings true, don't it: the 'flat spot' in an ongoing trend that will sometime soon go on. Eat,Read More drink and be, Mary, for tomorrow... a new interface will be introduced that strips hyperlinks, videos and comments from your bloggos and puts history out with the dogs. (whiiiiinnnnnnne)

There is a reason why sites like Patch 2.0 don't look good on Shripathi's Kindle-whatever screen,Read More but these sites do look great on the iPhone in Portrait for Landscape view. I'll be writing a post about that. If you're a business owner with a web site, you need to understand the reason in order to save money on your site.

The Bible also tells us that there were magicians who filled Egypt with blood, just like YahwehRead More helped Moses do. As to why magicians would fill the Nile (drinking supply), and their own country with blood, and stink it all up just to put Yahweh in his place is anyone's guess. Maybe this psychic can ask one of those magicians and let us know.

The bible tells us to flee the occult.
