Birtherism, cont.: Florida Rep. Yoho isn’t sure Obama is American ("No comment" to Chris Matthews)
MSNBC ^ | September 4, 2013 | Aliyah Frumin

Posted on 09/04/2013 10:37:07 PM PDT by Seizethecarp

Matthews...asked if Yoho questioned Obama’s legitimacy. Yoho said “No. He’s been under enough scrutiny. We need to move on from that,” and even pointed to a recent town hall meeting in which the president’s birth certificate came up.

Matthews asked Yoho: “So you accept the fact that he’s a born American,” to which the Sunshine State pol said “no comment.”

“No comment?” Matthew said. “In other words, you question the president’s legitimacy.”

When pressed further, Yoho said “I haven’t studied it enough to spend the time on it to come back with an intelligent answer, so I will not respond.” He added when the U.S. gets Syria and the debt crisis are solved, “I’d be happy to talk to you.”

The Hardball host asked if Yoho was a birther.

“No comment,” said Yoho.

Yoho just couldn't bring himself to say that he believed Barry is legit twice. He said it once, but couldn't do it twice, when pressed by Matthews.

ping to Ted Yoho appearing to take seriously the evidence he has seen from Zullo and whatever discussions he has had with Stockman.

Yoho tries to lead with how he is moving past questioning Barry’s legitimacy during the Syria crisis and budget issues, but can’t deny he has doubts and won’t deny that further investigation might be warranted.

Off-topic, but... your handle would not happen to be related to a Metal band known for its “Hold The Pig Steady” number, would it now?

Was she a "birther" before John died?

"Yoho tries to lead with how he is moving past questioning Barry’s legitimacy during the Syria crisis and budget issues, but can’t deny he has doubts and won’t deny that further investigation might be warranted."

He should be calling for resolution of those doubts before "Obama" starts having "his military" start bombing the crap out of another country. Again.

I’ll cut Yoho some slack. He only got onto Zullo’s evidence (hopefully the new, improved secret evidence) in the past few weeks and only a congressional subpoena can crack the Hawaii and federal agency firewall protecting Barry, which will take months, IMO!

Lennon was even more of a jerk than many of us
thought when he was alive. A friend of mine was
a member of a noted American rock group on tour
in Britain in the late ‘60s. They were imbibing at a
club with the Beatles when a drunk Lennon started
ripping them a new one. Nice to have someone you
look up to tell you how worthless you are....imagine.

“No sir. In other words, I question your legitimacy as a news source.”

Scary is that we have folks now on FR who support the MSNBC Anti-Birther view...and now attacking Obama Eligibility folks in a false guise (or black ops-style attack) to help Ted Cruz

Of course, proving Obama ineligible actually helps Ted Cruz....because it means a legal precedent has been set for Presidential eligibility with Obama.

I hope the Obama Supporters go after Cruz on eligibility....we can then get that Obama Hawaii Birth Certificate under rules of discovery (if it really exists)

I always regarded it as a deliberate bastardization of the English and Latin "Carpe diem" and "Seize the day."

Quirky. I like it.

Given the long track record of the MSM, especially Matthews, for bias against “right-wingers,” especially “birthers,” you have to wonder why Yoho would even agree to being interviewed on Matthews’ show. Seems like that person in Yoho’s office who arranged the interview is either completely ignorant of the realities of Washington politics, or was deliberately helping Matthews to sandbag his/her boss.
