Lou Dobbs ran the story of US reservist Stefan Cook, who refused to go to Afghanistan because he says President Obama isn't a US citizen. Notice how Dobbs framed the beginning of the story: He says new questions are being raised about Obama's citizenship. Really, Lou? They aren't new questions, they are the same Birther garbage being peddled by the same Birther Queen Bees since well before the election.
We have a Birther in our midst.
U.S. Army Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook, set to deploy to Afghanistan, says he shouldn’t have to go. Barack Obama was never eligible to be president because he wasn’t born in the United States.
Cook’s lawyer, Orly Taitz, who has also challenged the legitimacy of Obama’s presidency in other courts, filed a request last week in federal court seeking a temporary restraining order and status as a conscientious objector for his client.
In the 20-page document filed July 8 with the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia the California-based Taitz asks the court to consider granting his client’s request based upon Cook’s belief that Obama is not a natural-born citizen of the United States and is therefore ineligible to serve as commander-in-chief of the U.S. Armed Forces.
Cook further states he “would be acting in violation of international law by engaging in military actions outside the United States under this President’s command. ... simultaneously subjecting himself to possible prosecution as a war criminal by the faithful execution of these duties.”
Cook, a reservist, received the orders mobilizing him to active duty on June 9.
He's using the idiot lawyer who filed a lawsuit against President Obama and is called the Queen Bee of the Birthers. Meet Orly Taitz, Queen Bee of People Obsessed With Barack Obama's Birth Certificate. She also works for another insane person named Alan Keyes.
Here's the Queen Bee at work... And here's a blog post about her lack of credentials..
