A new birther infomercial running on a CBS affiliate in Texas and elsewhere around the country tells viewers a "got a birth certificate?" bumper sticker can be theirs for the low price of $30.

The 28-minute program -- quite possibly the first ever birthermercial -- features community access production values, heavy use of foreboding strings soundtrack, and standard-issue Birther ideology.

For a $30 contribution, viewers also get a fax sent in their name to the 50 state attorneys general and Attorney General Eric Holder demanding that President Obama produce his real birth certificate.

................(The full program is here.)

One of the men behind the infomercial is attorney Gary Kreep, executive director of the Ramona, CA-based Birther group United States Justice Foundation.
..............The program was produced by LivePrayer.com, a Web site affiliated with Bill Keller, a fundamentalist Christian minister who also hosts the infomercial.

Imprisoned in the late 1980s after an insider trading conviction, Keller later committed his life to God, attended Liberty University in Virginia, and founded Bill Keller Ministries, according to his bio. LivePrayer.com was "founded for the sole purpose of having a site on the internet where people can go 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for prayer."

Besides being a forum for prayer requests, LivePrayer.com features the Birther infomercial and a "False Hope" program advertised with a picture of Obama crudely photoshopped next to Hitler. Keller has called Islam a "false religion that follows a false god that will lead them to eternal condemnation."

In the infomercial, Keller promises late-night viewers a "special look at where Barack Hussein Obama was really born." "Today, you could join hundreds of thousands of other Americans and force President Obama to produce his birth certificate [*foreboding string music*]."

Between interviews with Kreep, Keller repeatedly asks viewers to add their name to "a petition going to GOP leaders to force President Obama to obey the law."

"As a thank you," he says, "you will receive a specially created, 'got a birth certificate?' bumper sticker."

A logo on the screen during the infomercial features the outlines of the United States, the state of Hawaii, and the continent of Africa, with the red-white-and-blue-colored words "Where was PRESIDENT Obama BORN?"

Edit to add:  And this lunatic...  Keller?  A website that people can go to 24/7 for prayer?  If I want to pray at 3a.m. in my house, I don't need a damned web site for it.  If I want to pray elsewhere at 3a.m., oddly enough, many churches have their doors open 24/7.

And $30 for a bumper sticker?  Shit!  Send me $30 and I'll print you off about 100 of the things!  "Birthers" my ass.  "Moneywhores" seems a bit more accurate.

Only $30?  Hmmm...  That might cover a bit of the Christmas shopping.

Well, for a mere twenty dollars, yes you heard right, a mere twenty dollars,
you can purchase the "chia* Was Raised By Wolves" refrigerator magnet.

1% of which will be donated to the most desperate charitable cause,
   "So You Thought You Could Dance But It Was Just Rabies".

What is it about that that bothers you so much, Spinner?  The fact that there's always a reminder that the left has been guilty of the same sort of lunacy in the past and, in fact, continues to be?  There are idiots on the right...no one denies that...but please don't make it seem as if a similar act of idiocy by those on the left has no relevance if it occurred in the past, especially the recent past.

Do you want to insist that we all pretend that everything is happening in a vacuum.Spinner?  You are welcome to such a psychosis if you like, but don't seek validation of it here, and certainly don't try to impose it on those of us who have been awake in this century.

What bothers me is that it is a distraction. It is a way of saying "Let's not deal with making anything better. Let's sit around and chew old soup". It also smacks of a revenge psychology. "It's ok if (blank) is doing (blank) to you. You did (blank) to (blank) so you got it coming. Whether it is intended to or not, that is how it comes off.

If it helps, I feel the same way about those who turn anything into a "Bush did it when he was in office" talk.

Let's keep our eyes on the prize, shall we?

What will it take? Probibly the same amount it will take to get some people from screaming "but Bush did it first" everytime someone criticizes the left.

Its just fucking hilarious to watch you left-wing types clutching your chests and falling to the ground, writhing around in agony and acting like you're having heart attacks because anyone would DARE to besmirch a president...

After eight years of Bush!

If I give you a quarter will you try to remember the last eiight years of history?

I don't follow this birther stuff very closely. What is it these people want to see? And why doesn't Obama just trot it out in a spirit of transparency and make them look silly? It seems obvious that the fuel feeding this movement's growth is people who would otherwise have no reason to doubt asking themselves that second question.
