“Miller protested by saying he disagreed with the suggestion that Obama has a fraudulent birth certificate. But Monckton dug in his heels.”
Any questioning of the one’s BC automatically triggers a response like this from anyone in the media, especially ones that are perceived as conservative. I’m surprised Monckton’s comment wasn’t cut in the 5 second delay. Ted Baxter would be proud.
I agree with Monte Kuligowski in today’s American Thinker article. These people in the media will be remembered as cowards when the history is written. That goes for all my favorite conservative radio hosts including the great one.
They have all been told their career will be over if they mention it on the air.
I bet I know the exact day they were all given the word. They all stopped mentioning it at the same time.
One show host I listened to was it talking about the birth certificate every day and then abruptly announced that it would no longer be discussed on the show. Period. Callers kept trying to bring it up and the host would get hysterical and cut them off.
Even Rush, when he talks about the BC, he doesn’t talk about it directly. He might mention that someone else was making an issue of it and they says explicitly that he isn’t talking about the BC, no - he is talking about someone else and their problem with it.
That's not exactly what happened.
Miller did seek to dissociate himself from Monckton's initial comment with a fuzzy "Not me," by saying that he didn't believe the "Kenyan birth certificate" was real. When Monckton continued saying that he wasn't saying the Obama was born in Kenya but only that the BC put up on the Internet last April was clearly fraudulent. Miller playing the good foil asked, "Why do you say the," and then allowed Monckton to go on about layers and the Arpaio investigation. In the linked recording, at least, Miller NEVER disagreed with the assertion that the Internet BC is fraudulent.
I'M not sure why Monckton says he's not a "birther." I don't know what a "birther" is if it's not someone who suggest that the official Obama birth narrative is suspect.

And the Godfather, although he has broached the BC issue a lot more than any of the other sane talk show hosts (note, put the sane qualifier because of Savage.)
I think we give people like Dennis Miller more conservative cred than he deserves just because he finally saw the light about who the bad guys were after 9/11. A nice Neo-Con who is now hot for war but on most other issues still a Lib at heart.
I heard the interview with Monckton last night and couldn’t believe my ears that he got to blurt out so much great stuff like the fraudulent birth certificate and AGW scam. Dennis maintained that he doesn’t know whether AGW is true, but he sure is enjoying the early spring and lack of snow no matter what the reason is. Thank goodness Monckton knows his stuff because he responded exactly as I hoped and let Dennis know that Europe has just had one of the coldest winters - “Climate is what you expect and Weather is what you get” - great quote from Monckton.
So, Dennis, do your homework better or quit giving us your opinion as if you are the last word on moderation(same for all the other cowardly lions out there).
