Yes, when I got my security clearance Chris, but I can understand why you wouldn't know that.
That would have been a grand-slam answer! Too many conservatives are failing to respond with good iron-clad answers. Chris Matthews seems to enjoy bringing up the “birther” issue when interviewing conservatives, even when that’s not the topic, in an attempt to discredit their opinions on the actual topic.
I think another grand-slam answer would be to respond with a similar non-sequitur question: “Chris, are you a liberal?” and when he balks at answering that or says it has no bearing to the topic at hand, well there’s your answer to the question of whether the guest is a birther.
Some of those Congressmen and Senators should have never been given a security clearance
