Birthers got punk'd with fake birth certificate


lol Priceless... And there will be eggs in the media's faces for reporting this garbage andn ot doing their own fact check on the Kenya birth certificate. Even Karl Rove, of all people, said that the birth certficate was a fake....

The forged “Kenyan birth certificate” released by Orly Taitz on Sunday was a prank by a supporter of President Obama.
Politijab points to an anonymous blogger at FearlessBlogging, who has uploaded four photos of the original forgery and a mocking declaration:

Fine cotton business paper: $11
Inkjet printer: $35
1940 Royal Model KMM manual typewriter: $10
2 Shilling coin: $1
Pilot Varsity fountain pen: $3
Punkin’ the Birthers: Priceless


Dave Weigel of Washington Independent reports.

An anonymous person has put up an Internet posting showing photos of the document, against a bedsheet background that matches the photo promoted by Orly Taitz. One of the photos shows a crumpled up certificate with the following message written on it: "YOU'VE BEEN PUNK'D!"

The forgery was apparently created using fine cotton business paper, an inkjet printer, an old manual typewriter, and a fountain pen. The supposed government seal is actually an imprint made with an old two-shilling coin. (Pre-decimal British money can easily be purchased from souvenir vendors or on eBay.)
