The staffer said to Beck something like “You can't just wound this beast, you have to take it down.”
When Beck said this I wondered whether it had yet occurred to Beck that the “birther” claims of illegitimacy could, in the court of public opinion if not in federal court, be the best way to take down the Obama machine quickly as we may not have the luxury of waiting until 2012 to prevent permanent damage.
Now you have posted this great video in which Beck appears to be laying the groundwork for a pivot by him to explore the veracity of birther claims.
From memory Beck said something like “The Birthers have been discredited. They have that “-er” suffix. Or have they?” And then he went on.
If Beck is going to “go rogue” and explore birther issues honestly without mocking framing up front it will because Roger Ailes has now given his blessing. Maybe he read the Kenyan presidential candidate's declaration that Obama was born there.
Yes ... how much I related to that, and how
many months I’ve been weeping for my country,
watching as it’s dissembled, one precious
piece at a time.
Please keep praying .. it’s powerful.
