Fox News host Glenn Beck said Friday night that Donald Trump has been making him "a little uncomfortable recently" with some of the wilder claims he's made about President Barack Obama.
Beck, who himself has made some wild claims about Obama, was speaking on "The O'Reilly Factor" and critiquing the two-part interview Trump gave to the show earlier in the week, in which he declared that Obama "doesn't have a birth certificate" and added he might not be showing one because it might say he's a Muslim.
"There is something reasonable to, you know, a reasonable conversation if you don't believe that he has a birth certificate." Beck said. "You can say, 'I don't believe he has a birth certificate.' But then he goes into 'I do not believe he has a birth certificate' and then he releases one that's worse than Obama's. And then he comes back and he says on your program, 'He might be a Muslim too.' I'm like, come on!"
When O'Reilly noted that Trump is "getting a massive amount of attention quickly" by espousing the "birther" claims and saying he would aggressively go after China as president, Beck argued there should be a push for "serious candidates who could shake things up by not saying provocative things."
And he added the nation doesn't need a "show boat."
..Ping!
Duplicate = pls remove.
I’m a Beck homer and not ashamed to admit it, but it really bugs me when he refuses to back us in the Certifigate scam...
Sometimes it feels like his “I’m not scared of Media Matters” bravado is bunk....
Do not make Glenn Beck uncomfortable, please. He might shatter into a million pieces.
Gee, why is that Beck? I'll tell you one reason and likely not the only reason. You're uncomfortable because you'll be exposed after millions of people have been telling your ignorant $#$@ that you were full of it.
Mr Conspiracy Theory himself, relegated to food insurance and bomb shelter advertisers, thinks Trump’s gone off the deep end.
Yep. Okay.
Beck has strong and weak points: strong on fact, but weak on opinion.
Couldn’t have said it better. +1.
born June 14, 1946 in Queens, New York, NY (Meets the Jus Soli Requirement)
Parents were
Frederick Christ Trump, born October 11, 1905 in Queens, NY, died June 1999 in Queens, NY
Mary Ann MacLeod, born May 10, 1912 in SCOTLAND, died August 7, 2000 in Queens, NY. Arrived in US October 5, 1935. Married January 1936. Naturalized as a US Citizen March 10, 1942.
Both parents were US Citizens at the time of his birth (Meets the Jus Sanguinis Requirement)
Donald Trump is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN unlike Comrade Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama.
No fan of Glenn Beck here.
Compared to Trump, however, Beck at least understands what conservatism is all about. TheDonald has never known anything but egotism, money and liberal elitism his whole life.
Then Beck stated the National Socialist (who were based on Marxist theory) were conservatives. Do you have any idea how important this single point is? If you are fighting against Nazi's it would be totally acceptable to lie, cheat and steal from them wouldn't you agree? The leftist believe exactly that because they are fighting Nazi's. This single statement set us back easily a decade.
I would be happy if he was take off the air.

Somehow Beck lost his conservatism when he joined Fox News. He was not like this on liberal CNN Headline News
Beck’s big problem is that he not only is avoiding the Birther issue....he has attacked Birthers on a number of occassions. He is not the only one...Ann Coulter, Andrew Breitbart, and (no surprise) Bill O’Reilly have attacked Birthers.
