Joe Arpaio's "Birther" Investigation Still Exists; Lead "Birther" Swears Evidence Coming Soon

By Matthew Hendley Tue., Jan. 29 2013 at 10:04 AM

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's "investigation" into President Barack Obama still exists after 16 months, which has an industry term of "long con."

Believe it or not, Arpaio's birther chief still claims that there's evidence Barack Obama's birth certificate is fake, and indeed, new evidence that will have anyone convinced.

Categories: Birthers (sigh)

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's joke of an "investigation" into President Obama's birth certificate is still an issue.

Now, even after President Obama's re-election, Arizona Republican Party chairman Tom Morrissey -- who insists he's not a "birther" -- says he does not believe the president's birth certificate is authentic.

Joe Arpaio Targeted in Prank Involving Obama Kenyan Birth Video, Which He Never Even Saw

By Matthew Hendley Thu., Nov. 1 2012 at 11:03 AM

Categories: Birthers (sigh)

The fakest fake video in the faking world.

A hoax video of President Obama's birth in a Kenyan hospital, intended to make asses out of "birthers" like Sheriff Joe Arpaio once they bought into its legitimacy, failed miserably.

The New York Observer, um, exposed the video as fake -- a video we hadn't even heard of until they called B.S. on it -- but it was apparently made by some guy who has a penchant for pulling pranks on celebrities.

Bill Montgomery Entertains "Birther" Over Joe Arpaio's Probe of Obama's Birth Certificate

Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery

As evidenced by Secretary of State Ken Bennett's dabbling in the "birther" theories, elected officials around the state have probably received a decent amount of phone calls and emails asking them to help further the embarrassment of Sheriff Joe Arpaio's "investigation" into President Obama.

One such recipient of that attention is Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery, who's actually taken the time to respond to at least one of the conspiracy theorists.

Joe Arpaio's "Birther" Chief Mike Zullo Strikes Back at Orly Taitz, Says He Doesn't Want "Circus Show" Involved

By Matthew Hendley Fri., Oct. 19 2012 at 11:25 AM

Categories: Birthers (sigh)

Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his "birther" chief Mike Zullo are balking at their chance to talk about their super official "investigation" of President Obama's birth certificate in court, and Zullo tells New Times why -- Orly Taitz.

Taitz told us yesterday that she's very upset with Arpaio and Zullo, since she's tried to subpoena the two to appear as witnesses in a case she filed in an Indiana state court, since she believes they're working toward a common goal here on the "birther" issue.

Joe Arpaio's Balking at His Chance to Present "Birther" Info in Court, and Orly Taitz Is Mad

Categories: Another Stupid-Sheriff Story , Birthers (sigh)

If, for some reason, anyone needs further evidence of how bogus Sheriff Joe Arpaio's "birther" investigation is, here you go.

Orly Taitz, perhaps one of the most well-known challengers to the eligibility of President Obama, is still trying to contest the issue in court, and tells New Times that Arpaio refuses to show up as a witness in her case.

Joe Arpaio Doesn't Want His Super Official "Birther" Probe Used in Presidential Debate

By Matthew Hendley Wed., Oct. 3 2012 at 3:24 PM

Categories: Birthers (sigh)

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's "birther" probe is such an important issue for the nation that he would not like to see the two men running for President of the United States talk about it in front of the country.

We're not sure why this thought ever popped into the head of U.S.News & World Report reporter Steven Nelson, but we're glad it did.

Joe Arpaio's "Birther" Chief Gets Cops Called on Him During His Pursuit of 95-Year-Old Woman in a Nursing Home

Old lady-chaser Mike Zullo, pictured on the left.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio's "birther" chief Mike Zullo has no shame in telling his story of getting the cops called on him because he spent hours at a Hawaii nursing home in an attempt to badger a 95-year-old woman.

In fact, after being asked not to return to the nursing home again, Zullo insists someone must have scared this 95-year-old woman out of talking to him. (Our guess is that his name is Mike Zullo.)

Child Molester Sues for Obama's DNA, Plans to Compare It to Osama Bin Laden's

My face when...

A convicted child molester filed a mostly incoherent lawsuit yesterday in U.S. District Court here, seemingly asking for DNA samples from President Obama, Osama bin Laden, and Saddam Hussein.

The convicted child molester is Arnold Begay, whose lawsuit is postmarked out of a low-security federal prison in North Carolina.

SB 1070 Helper Kris Kobach Takes the Ken Bennett Route on the "Birther" Issue

Arizonan at heart, Kris Kobach.

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach has so much Arizona right-wing-nuttery in his blood that he ought to get tested.

As one of the creators of Senate Bill 1070, he's part Russell Pearce. As the former instructor on immigration matters for the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office, he's part Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Now, as he entertains a "birther" theory that put President Obama's ballot eligibility in the air, he's become part Ken Bennett, Arizona's Secretary of State.
