Beck Just Referred to "Birthers" as Idiots

Posted on 08/05/2009 2:19:14 PM PDT by Man50D

I was watching the opening of Glenn Beck's TV show a short time ago. He was talking about the DNC ad claiming the Republican party sending mobs to town hall meetings to oppose BO's socialist health care plan. One clip from the ad showed a woman at a town hall meeting in Delaware showing her birth certificate and asking why BO can't do the same to prove he is a natural born citizen.

Beck then made the observation they had to use a clip of a "birther Idiot". The term birther couldn't be more misleading since it refers to people who simply demand BO abide by Article II Section I of the Constitution but somehow this fundamental point is lost on Beck. I immediately turned off the TV. I won't watch him again.

Beck is a Libertarian.

Me? I don’t know why so many people worship the ground he walks on.

Feh.

Nothing idiotic about it. God bless that woman for having the courage to simply ask.

This is a simple thing to put to rest. I have a passport and a birth certificate. I can produce them at my house in a matter of minutes. I have not spent a million dollars to either acquire them...or to hide them.

This is not a unreasonable thing to ask for since being a "natural born citizen" of the US is a constitutional requirement for the job of President. It's not hateful, and it's not racist.

Proving that you are should be an honor.

Yet Obama cannot and will not produce either. Why?

The following document is a Certified Copy of Registration of Birth, puporting to be from Kenya. It has gotten a lot of press. It has a number of issues which means, IMHO, that in all probability that it is not authentic. Yet, it looks more authentic than the electronic Certificate of Live Birth (COLB, not the long form Birth Certificate which has never been offered) that the Obama administration has shown on their web site.

The point is, this supposed document is out there and is being analyzed to death and will ultimately be certified one way or the other by experts. Obama's long form birth certificate is not...it is getting no such review. The longer it is absent, the more insistent the demands will be for it to be made public.

A number of military Officers are now suing for Obama to prove and show his "bonafides" before deploying, because for them, it becomes a life or death issue to follow their Commander in Chief. The same applies in principle to all citizens. In the end, Obama will not be able to forever hide from proving the constitutional qualification.

Awww! What happen? Did another “conservative” idol prove to have feet of clay? Say it ain’t so, Joe!

I’m sorry, but it cracks me up to see the looks on you guys’ faces every time you get hosed by another one of your “conservative” heroes. It’s like watching the Fat Girl’s heart break when she realizes that the Football Captain didn’t really like her, but was only going out with her in order to get easy sex. BUT HE SAID HE LOVED ME! BOO HOO HOO!

How many times are y’all going to have to take it up the pooper from the Republitards and Mainstreamers before you realize that they have nothing but contempt for you and everything you believe in?

Relax.

His point is this should not be taken up in a town hall. Focus on the health bill and Cap and tax.

Beck is not a Republican.
He thinks Conservative Republicans are just the same as
Liberal Democrats.
He is a self admitted libertarian.
He is one of your bunch

If these so called "birthers" are proven right, it'll be interesting to see what Beck will say.

In my opinion, with regards to the "birther" thing. It would be best to be observant, but also open to anything that may come up. And most of all, don't jump to conclusions and claim them as fact unless fact comes about.

Who knows what tomorrow will bring.

Stay safe.

It would appear that Mr. Beck has overstayed his gig at Fox. He keeps beating a dead horse. The Donks are running the show and the Republicans are milling around like a herd of lost horses. Sort of sickening ain't it. Right now I can't see real leaded in the pack.

He is a self admitted libertarian.

He's not even as much of a libertarian as Bob Barr, who is also not a libertarian. Neil Boortz is not a libertarian, and neither is Bill Mayer.

The media is full of Republicans and Democrats who see some opportunity to claim that they aren't to give themselves more credibility and to refute the party shill tag.

It doesn't hold water. Beck, Boortz, and Barr are Republicans no matter what they claim, and Maher is a dem.

I make a statement I simply won't watch him again because he refuses to understand it is a Constitutional matter and you respond with a third grade tirade.

You compound your tantrum with the false assumptions I consider him a conservative Idol, accept what the OP says on face value and fail to understand conservatism is being assaulted. Don't pretend for a second you know me. I wouldn't have been at this website for more than four years if anyone of your ludicrous claims had one iota of truth. You're pulling a Glenn Beck by speaking on an issue without any facts.

somewhat tangentially, I guess that the “town hells” are sort putting to bed the fear the “birthers” would distract — who, everybody? — from the healthcare (or any other) issue.

Pick any of the 221,000 links you want. Beck is a lib.

Prove otherwise.
