Do you know what the term ‘hypocrite’ means?? Tapper undermines his pointless namecalling by following up on Axelrod’s claim that a birth certificate has been available to ‘people’ by saying, “The long form?”.
He's made it clear he thinks birthers are “whackjobs”. He equates them with truthers. He was using the “long form” birther argument to illustrate the absurdity of the defense Gibbs was using to justify their foreign money accusations against the Chamber of Commerce. Tapper was suggesting neither was supported by evidence, and both were equally nutty. Consistent in his point...nothing hypocritical about it.
Tapper has made it clear he is not a birther, and wants nothing to do with them.
Only in birtherville is this seen as a validation of their quest.
I believe he was just clarifying which specific birther nutjobs he was referring to.
