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.

But this was after you called him a liberal troll or claimed that Obama & Co. *obviously* have the goods on him or that he uses the Constitution for toilet paper...right?

Cite any reply or thread I've ever posted to confirm your claim.

How did you guess. Sean Hannity is really
a Liberal Methodist.

O’Reilly is a closet ACORN worker

Ann Coulter, Sen. Jim DeMint, Glen Beck, Neil Bortz
and others many have questions about Obama’s
BC but are Not onboard with the birthers

No, I think he was referring to how the left sees the birthers.

in a sarcastic way.

I have TiVO. I went back and checked to make sure. I might be wrong... but the context of what he was talking about, his saying birther idiots fits in the way the left and the media idea of ppl who ask for the BC.

Again, I could be wrong... but that is how I took it.

God bless that woman for having the courage to simply ask.

Listen to what these "angry, out-of-control mobs" are asking... "Will you drop your fancy Congressional Coverage for the Gov't HealthCare plan?" "Read the Health Care Bill before you vote on it." "Let's not rush the bill through." "BO, show me proof (BC) that you're eligible to be president."

Reasonable requests, all, IMHO. Hardly anything out of line I think. The current crop of Pols is so out of touch with their constituents that they can't handle being questioned.

I'd like to know what would happen if the congress critters got really tough questions..."What are you going to do if/when Iran pops a nuke in the Middle East?" "What's your opinion on the current state of relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan?"

Boooo hoooo.. Time to buy stock in Kleenex, Glenn will be purchasing whole pallets of it I'm sure.

How obtuse of you failing to understand the point Beck doesn't realize it is a Constitutional matter. Instead you reply with an infantile response. Good for you.

If you are correct, then according to your logic, you must be a Liberal Democrat.

So many on FR, not liking he facts, change the answer to their liking

Relax, it’s obvious I was posting a generality of the birthers. Don’t worry, I hardly doubt folks will be whispering to each other after sundown tonight, “Psst! Did ya hear about Man50D and what he’s been sayin’ about anyone opposed to the righteous patriots some are a callin’ the birthers?”

Beck is like Savage in that both are emotionally unstable and always seem on the verge of a breakdown. Granted they will have different types of breakdowns when they finally happen. People shouldnt put too much faith in either of these guys.

Beck supports the "patriot" act in an interview with Bob Barr

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The fundamental point is not lost on Beck. Beck fully understands the issue.

Beck and **all** the commentators on Fox News have gotten their marching orders from the highest executives in the company. Is there even **one** Fox commentator defending the Constitutionalists? No, there isn't.

It is time to inundate the management of Fox news with a blizzard of compliants. What's going on here? Did the chief executive of Fox wake up one morning with a horse's head in his bed?

This whole birth certificate thing is based on wild speculation. There is nothing to show that Obama was born anywhere but Hawaii. If people want to fret over whether Obama was born in Hawaii, fine, but there are more substantive things we could be taking issue with.

They have "meddled with the primal forces of nature."

I’ll have to hear the context.

Overall I like Beck. That doesn’t mean I agree with everything that comes out of his mouth. But I agree with him a fair percentage of the time, and when I don’t agree I usually understand where he’s coming from.

On this issue, he may be buying in to the media depiction of what we’re about. The media likes to talk about our crazy claims, when in fact I at least mostly don’t claim anything. I want to see the original birth certificate, and I want to know what citizenship he claimed in college.

For the most transparent president ever, that shouldn’t be too difficult. This is a guy who has sealed every record he ever had, but all I want is the original birth certificate, and to know what citizenship he claimed in college. If that makes me crazy in bizarro-world, then I’ll deal with it somehow.

Great! Show us the document BO and his team of lawyers have been unable to produce instead of making remarks without any facts to buttress your claim.

If people want to fret over whether Obama was born in Hawaii, fine, but there are more substantive things we could be taking issue with.

This is a Constitutional matter. It couldn't be more substantive.

There is no reality in making a claim without evidence to confirm.

Affirmative action presidents like the Zero get a pass. Unlike the Zero’s predecessors, he does not have to produce academic and personal records. The AA boost, you know.

It’s digusting that the media refuses to do their job and push him on this.

Glenn is just covering His Butt. There is no proof that that the ONE is not a Natural Born Citizen, just inferences and speculation.
