New Birther Infomercial Running In Seven Southern States (Bonus TPMtv Highlight Reel Included)

That birthermercial we told you about earlier is running in seven states, one of the men behind the program tells us.

Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation says his group will decide soon on a second buy for the 28-minute program that asks late-night viewers to give $30 to have a faxes sent to government officials demanding Obama produce his birth certificate. As a thank you, contributors also get a special Birther bumper sticker.

The first buy covered Sept. 10 through Sept. 27.

For your viewing pleasure, here’s the grand list:








  • Chattanoga, TN

  • Memphis, TN

  • Shreveport, LA

  • Springfield, MO

  • Abilene, TX

  • Lubbock, TX

  • Macon, GA

  • Savannah, GA

  • Huntsville, AL

  • Jacksonville, FL

  • Tallahasseee, FL

As to why Kreep’s group, which is based in southern California, is targeting states in the South, he tells us only: “We used a vendor that booked the times.”

LivePrayer.com, the fundamentalist online prayer hotline run by birthermercial host Bill Keller, is based in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Finally, here’s the official TPMtv highlight reel of the birthermercial:
