Is Glenn Beck right about Obama's eligibility not being a valid issue?
Yes, Beck is finally right about something
Yes, Beck is driving mainstream credibility
Yes, the birthers are obviously unhinged and off base
Yes, and he's right that this issue is providing cover to the Obama administration
Yes, Beck is always right
Yes
I don't know, but his opinion has given me reason to reconsider my views
No, I love Beck and usually agree with him, but he's just plain wrong on this one
No, that's what living and working in New York will do to you
No, but because Obama has been so good for Beck's career, the host doesn't wish to see his meal ticket disqualified
No, and deep down I think Beck himself knows the truth
No, Beck is just fishing for mainstream credibility
No, I agree with Hannity, Limbaugh, Savage and Dobbs that it's unquestionably a legitimate issue
No

Yes, let Glenn Beck choose his battles.
No
Same for Rushbo.
OFF WITH BECK'S HEAD!
Way too many response options. Yes or No should suffice.
I think a fair number of conservatives and Republicans have distanced themselves form the ‘birthers’ simply to avoid being labeled as fringe nuts, no matter what they might actually believe. Probably no way to know which are using that tactic, but some are, just to avoid the loss of credibility for their main causes.
It already has been decided by the courts that it is a moot point. Why wasted energy on this when other more important points need to be advanced? Even if he were “outed” as a foreign born person, with no legal standing to be elected, he would remain President. The precedent could erase the citizen only clause of the Constitution, stranger things have happened.....the law of “Unintended Consequences”.
I listened to him yesterday talk about this...and Beck is right...even if you had some kind of definitive proof...getting it through the courts to actually do anything about it would take WAY TOO LONG!
Better to cut the legs out from under them NOW and attack with clear evidence of clear wrong doings that the AVERAGE american will find convincing and be outraged over...
Third choice from bottom: Limbaugh has been on both sides of this issue. In one version, Limbaugh plays the likenesses between God and the Zero and concludes that neither has a birth certificate. However, that version is long after the issue developed when Limbaugh poo-poo’d it as an issue.

It really is simple. If the Constitution isn't Beck's or your polar star ( All of it! Even that teeny weeny little clause about being “natural born”) then you are NOT a conservative!
If other things are more important that the Constitution, then Beck and the rest are NOT conservatives. They are something else. ( A paid for “controlled opposition”, maybe?)
...but I'm not going to register with WingNut Daily to do so.
You continue to slander many good conservatives for not buying into this birther conspiracy nonsense.
That’s all well and good. But you attack from all angles. If Beck doesn’t want to bother with it, fine. But pretending it ain’t a real issue is nonsense.
Couldn't happen.
Rush is driving right on by that 2 ton road kill carcass of an elephant in the road. He is holding his nose and closing his eyes and quietly chanting to himself:
“There is no stinking 2 ton dead elephant of Obama
s eligibility in the road!If I make a few jokes it will go away!
There is no stinking 2 ton Obama’s eligibility in the road!If I make a few jokes it will go away!
There is no stinking 2 ton elephant of Obama’s eligibility in the road! If I make a few jokes it will go away!
There is no stinking 2 ton elephant of Obama’s eligibility in the road! If I make a few jokes it will go away!
There is no stinking 2 ton elephant of Obama’s eligibility in the road! If I make a few jokes it will go away!”
These yappers fail to realize that they are running a business. They are selling a product. That product is TRUST! Personally...For me they have irreparably damaged their brand names. I no longer fully trust them to defend the CONSTIUTTION!
It's simple. If a person will not defend the Constiuttion (all of it) then they are NOT conservatives. They are something else.
The commitment of these yappers is to their careers and not to conservativism or to the Constitution. When tyranny comes they will be the willing Goebbels of the oligarchy. They will use their prodigious talents to spit shine the jack boots crushing our necks. ( **Your** neck included!)
No, I love Beck and usually agree with him, but he’s just plain wrong on this one
Briar patch.
If a person does not defend the Constitution then they are NOT a conservative.
It really is that simple!
