Takes eight seconds on wikipedia to find out what hashish is. If she’s going to come up with bizarre conspiracy theories, she could at least throw in a few minutes research. I fear for America when even our paranoid crackpots are phoning it in. ---

Honestly, I’m thinking that this woman is the ultimate troll or perhaps just in it for the money. I notice that her website takes donations for something called “Defend Our Freedoms Foundation”. The address of this supposed charity is the same as her dental office and the state of California has sent her two Notices to Register which she apparently hasn’t responded to.

Indeed, that’s why I capitalized Just Asking Questions. I thought it would be difficult to tell if I were sarcastic otherwise. ---

Crazy people being given a voice with the reach of the Internet is the worst thing that could have happened to crazy people - because more of them can be heard by more of their crazy peers. Instead of just shouting from a street corner, where they are obviously crazy, they get a shiny looking website and look Official. Now they’re legitimized. Freedom of speech and all that. But some people’s opinions do \*not \*need to be heard. Nobody’s life is improved by the propagation of these ideas. Not minorities, not the impoverished, not the uneducated, not the middle class or upper class, not one person. Silence is the only reply that should be given to it. Treat it as you would treat a crazy person running through a cafeteria. Just put your head down until they leave or are strapped down to a gurney. ---

You got to watch out when you propose more than one insane conspiracy theory. You might lose some of the birther believers if they realize the Sandy Hook conspiracy is insane. And some of the potential Sandy Hook conspiracy nuts might be turned off by the prospect of jumping on the birther wagon. You need to focus on one item of craziness and surround it with sanity. ---

[QUOTE=O RLY? Taitz] The word assassin comes from the Arabic word “Hashish”, name for a drug, **I believe correct translation is opium.** [/QUOTE] (my bolding) Now, I know it’s very fashionable to bash the US’s public education system, but we should also give credit where it’s due. I think every high schooler in America, and many middle schoolers too, would be able to correct Ms Taitz’s misunderstanding there. ---
