Topekans label claims of 'birther' as racist
California lawyer calls critics 'thugs,' 'animals'
Two Topeka community leaders labeled as false Tuesday claims of a California lawyer who asserted she was threatened by black men behaving like "animals" and "thugs" after she unsuccessfully argued Barack Obama should be dropped from the presidential ballot in Kansas.
Ben Scott and Otto Vaughn, who attended the State Objections Board proceeding chaired by Secretary of State Kris Kobach, said remarks by Orly Taitz characterizing the aftermath of the hearing were inaccurate and racist.
Taitz said later in a statement she was partially encircled by 20 men, most of them African-American, who led her to conclude "in a minute they would beat me up."
"Obama's people were yelling, screaming and acted like wild animals," Taitz said. "I was silent and politely listened to what they had to say."
Scott and Vaughn said Taitz presented a false picture of events. The statement by Taitz that she was cornered by black men eager to do violence to a white woman was a lie, they said.
"We didn't talk with her," said Scott, president of the Topeka NAACP. "She called us 'animals.' I don't have a problem saying it was a racist remark."
Vaughn, who had a great-grandfather who was a slave, said the most vocal critics of Taitz after the hearing were both white.
Whines about playing the race card could go both ways with this. Twist it how you want!

Taitz is an idiot. There really is nothing more to say on the matter.
You don't have to believe me. I don't need validation from you to know the people I know and what they believe. You just go on thinking what you want to think and don't let anything, not even evidence, common sense, or the sheer idiocy of your claim that all birthers are racist steer you otherwise.

Well I believe there are idiots in every race...so it is quite possible that you know a few idiots.

Now this I can live with. "Idiot" is a much more subjective term than "racist" after all. So to you an idiot may be one thing, to someone else it is another. All of us are idiots to someone else. Somewhere. Including you.
But Birthism is racist without qualification or any conceivable alternative rationale.
