Cruz Melts Couric's Mind: Hillary Started the Anti-Obama Birther Movement
The Excellence In Broadcasting Network ^ | July 1, 2015 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 07/01/2015 1:23:34 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Who do you think started the birther movement against Obama? You know the birther movement, the claim that Obama was not born in Hawaii, that he was rather born in some Muslim country somewhere. And that he was not qualified, according to the Constitution, to be president, 'cause he's not born of American parents anywhere, and he was not born in the United States. Who started that movement? (interruption) Well, you're pretty damn close.

It was Hillary Clinton that started the movement. It was the Hillary Clinton campaign in 2008 that started the movement. That whole thing was started by Hillary. Now, I don't know if Blumenthal was involved with that. The odds would be. But Ted Cruz sat down for an hour with Katie Couric yesterday on her (chuckles) wildly popular Yahoo website show. By the way, has anybody ever seen Katie Couric and Bob Costas at the same time anywhere? (interruption) Well, we're into transgender things here.

We've got Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner. I'm just wondering. I mean, they're interchangeable. Anyway, Ted Cruz sat down with Katie Couric for the whole hour, and it started out with her being typically smug and asking him if he felt like his candidacy is historic because he'd be the first American president to be born in Canada. That was her first snarky question. (interruption) No, not that he was a fake Hispanic. That's the second thing they try to hit Cruz on. He's a fake Hispanic.

"He may have a Hispanic name, but he's not really Hispanic!"

Remember when he was on with Mark Halperin? Mark Halperin made him explain the Cuban foods that he likes and the Cuban songs that they sang in the Cruz household and all that. I mean, really low-rent stuff that no Democrat candidate would be asked. So, anyway, the perky Katie Couric was talking to Ted Cruz, and she had this smug look on her face and she is acting all superior, which is what the left really is made up of.

They're a bunch of phony baloney, plastic banana, good-time rock 'n' rollers who think they are superior to everybody, and they act that way. You should see the look on her face crumble when he informs her that it was the Hillary Clinton campaign in 2008 that created the anti-Obama birther movement. The source for this is Breitbart.com. It happens about 25 minutes in to the interview. (We will link to it at RushLimbaugh.com.) Cruz said, "You know, it's very interesting. This whole birther thing was started by the Hillary Clinton campaign in 2008 against Obama."

Katie Couric just (gasping and choking).

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

If you doubt me, even The Politico has acknowledged this. Here, let me read to you from The Politico text: "Where did this idea come from" that Obama is not native-born? "Who started it? And is there a grain of truth there? The answer lies in Democratic, not Republican politics, and in the bitter, exhausting spring of 2008. At the time, the Democratic presidential primary was slipping away from Hillary Clinton and some of her most passionate supporters grasped for something, anything that would deal a final reversal to Barack Obama. ...

"The original smear against Obama was that he was a crypto-Muslim, floated in 2004 by perennial Illinois political candidate ... Andy Martin. Other related versions of this theory alleged that Obama was educated in an Indonesian 'madrassa' or steeped in Islamist ideology from a young age, and the theories began to spread virally after Obama appeared on the national stage ... with his early 2007 presidential campaign. Then, as Obama marched toward the presidency, a new suggestion emerged: That he was not eligible to serve.

"That theory first emerged in the spring of 2008, as Clinton supporters circulated an anonymous email questioning Obama’s citizenship." Here is the text of the "anonymous email" sent from the Hillary Campaign: "'Barack Obama's mother was living in Kenya with his Arab-African father late in her pregnancy. She was not allowed to travel by plane then, so Barack Obama was born there and his mother then took him to Hawaii to register his birth,' asserted one chain email that surfaced on the urban legend site Snopes.com in April 2008."

It was Ted Cruz that informed Katie Couric of this. She had no idea.

And the look on her face, apparently, is just priceless.

Someone is paying her $10million dollars a year when there are public access and Youtube personalities with much larger audiences.

Yeah, I wonder how much that is on a per-viewer basis? $2? $5? $10?

I haven't touched Yahoo since the '90s, when I used to get stock quotes on it. I have no reason to have anything to do with it now.

When they did the colonoscopy on air, they were not sure which end to insert the camera part. Just another liberal POS disguised as a journalist.

“How many have an I.Q under 80 ?”

Actually some of her viewers have quite high IQ numbers, unfortunately it is quite possible to have a triple digit IQ and still be as dumb as dirt when it comes to understanding the reality of politics. High IQ and stupid are far from being mutually exclusive.

Body language, Katie, body language. Fear is an ugly vibe. Almost as ugly as those birth control glasses.
