Glenn Beck Accuses Liberals of Coordinating Birther Phone Calls
Washington Independant ^ | 1-4-10 | David Weigel

Posted on 01/04/2010 2:49:01 PM PST by icwhatudo

On his radio show today, Glenn Beck accused someone, somewhere, of orchestrating phone calls about the conspiracy theory that President Obama was not born in America.

“Today there is a concerted effort on all radio stations to get birthers on the air,” said Beck. “I have to tell you, are you working for the Barack Obama administration? I mean, that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.”

Beck explained his skepticism of birtherism in a back-and-forth that’s worth reading and concludes with jabs at the press and at the birthers.

“As the guy who the media says is the king of conspiracy theories, all I do are forward conspiracy theories, let me forward this conspiracy,” said Beck. “He was born here because it seems a little unlikely that somebody planted the birth records, okay, a little unlikely, in the newspapers. Now you would say, well, then why doesn’t he just produce? Good question. That one kept me up for minutes at a time, minutes.”

Let me explain the problem with this “Birth-er issue”.

At this point in time, after election to the Presidency, the Senate of these United States, and the State Legislature of Illinois, the blow-back from a illegal birth certificate would severely damage the very credibility of the United States. Now add to this the fact that he belongs to a minority protected class, is a flaming libtard and essentially a protected species in the world, the damage done would be unthinkable for any authority to contemplate at this time.

After his term is over, I suppose more people will then perhaps entertain the thought, but right now, you can forgetaboutit......

Thank you for listening.......


This sounds like loopy conspiracy theory.

Show the real BC, that is all people are asking. Anything short of this, its pretty much being an Obama Enabler.

“It’s a lot easier to get into a college as a black American with mediocre grades than as a foreign student with straight A’s.”

Yes, in regard to Columbia. Maybe that is why he began using his AA name.

That doesn’t mean that we should just drop the issue. It isn’t just the birth certificate. There is a long list of documents that have been placed off limits. Its funny; if you go up against the O, your sealed records magically unseal themselves. But O’s unsealed records remain hermetically sealed against all comers.

Who knows better to keep ones dicey records sealed than a scuzzball who gets his opponents sealed divorce records unsealed. 0bama/Axelrod have done this twice. Why? Because they are scum and can get away with it because they have the media in their pocket

What makes you think his term is going to be over? He will be the president of the United Communist States of Amerika. ACORN and SEIU will win the vote again.
Like someone said, we need a whistleblower from Columbia or Occidental, etc.

But as I say..we shouldn’t even have this worry.

You hit the nail on the head. Never should this even be a concern of ours. The most powerful man in the world should be well know what his credentials are.

You know for certain that Obama was not admitted as, nor applied for aid as an Indonesian citizen to Occidental, Columbia and Harvard?

That’s great! I was not aware he had released any of these records.

Just show us the records proving that he was not admitted as nor applied for aid to all of these schools as an Indonesian citizen, and yes, that will end the question as a matter of debate.

Logically, the fact that someone circulated as an April Fool’s joke a document purporting to have Obama registered as an Indonesion provides as much evidence on the underlying question as the fact that someone posted a fake Kenyan birth certificate on the Internet somehow “proves” that Obama was actually born in Hawaii.

I don't think that there is a original. I think that when he ran for office in Illinois, he got by, but when the Senate run came up, he had to provide a BC so Hawaii issue the COB. The COB was good enough for his Senate race but not good enough for proof and they knew this all along.

Since there is no credible proof and they have the simple evidence of a news paper article, that's all they need unless it even came to a court of law.

Unfortunately, it is far too late for any court to intervene as the recent attempts show us. Any judge in a high court would look at the value of the case. Is it a benefit or will it damage the system more than support it. The weight would go to Obama because too much time has passed to open up the worm can. This happened in Bush V Gore. If it went that far here, it would happen again.

If there were something that would stick about his b.c. don't you think Cankles would have found it? In the meantime Glen will stick with his own topics as he has done so well.

This is an effort by the Obowma admin to pit Glen against his base

>> Beck regularly covers things that seem to be too hot for other news outlets.

The reason he’s able to get away with covering those things, is that he tries real hard to be sure he can prove every word that comes out of his mouth. That’s why he loves showing videos of his targets saying stuff that will get them into trouble. That’s why he displays excerpts from their own books/articles. He can only keep doing what he’s doing as long as he’s able to prove everything he says.

He’s not going to touch the birth certificate story until and unless he’s got PROOF that would stand up in court. Until that day, it’s kookery as far as he’s concerned. <<

Beck is very Shrewd, if he ever gets pure undeniable proof on the Birth Cert issue the Administration’s heads are going to spin and it will make what happened to Van Jones look like the firing of a Junior Janitor at a Multinational.

Then why didn't he simply say that instead of insulting the callers? I saw a lot of birthers at the tea rallies. Is he, now, singling out them as unpatriotic? He really didn't have to put them down. I am a birther and as much as I hate to say it, my opinion of him has crashed and burned from his statements.

A long time listener and viewer of Glenn Beck who never missed a day tuning him in but am deeply hurt and confused right now. I wonder how many others are feeling the same.

Your speculation is not necessarily correct. It became a fashionable fetish among a lot of elite schools in the 1970s and 1980s to dramatically expand their proportion of international students and to position their institutions as not merely American but world-class universities.

Columbia is an elite school; Occidental is not. If the best school that Obama could get into as a high school senior was Occidental, it raises the question as to how he got into Columbia as a college sophomore.

The answer, I think, may well lie in his Indonesian status. According to his own autobiography, he seems to have been steered into muslim student circles as soon as he arrived at Columbia. That would make complete sense if he was known to Columbia as an Indonesian.

0bama might have learned some valuable lessons at Occidental
Such as how to get up the next rung of the ladder
Maybe people clued him in that the way to get into Columbia was to use his Indonesian citizenship
He sure hung out with and roomed with Muslims at Columbia...mostly Pakistani
Even visiting Pakistan to stay at the home of one

At Columbia 0bama learned how to get into Harvard as an American black
Harvard was very hungry for black students who could hack law school
And 0bama got admitted over more qualified whites

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

Obama is scumming and ruthless enough to find plenty of dirt on the Clintons and then USE IT!

Think of it like the old Cold War nuclear stand off. Both Obama and Hillary have enough on each other for mutually assured destruction.

With any BC there is a original with amendments as to how it was created. That is the way vital records are created.

In Hawaii it was as simple as telling the courts in writing Obama was born in a manger in Hawaii. Mules and 3 wise men, rahm, axelrod and soros saw the birth and testified.

Key witness in (presidential) passport fraud case fatally shot [old article]
Washington Times ^ | 4/18/2008 |


Also puzzling .....

Obama part of group locked up at Russian airport // U.S. delegation stripped of passports as guards demand to inspect plane
Chicago Sun-Times (IL) - Monday, August 29, 2005
Author: Lynn Sweet, Sun-Times Washington Bureau chi

WASHINGTON — Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.) were not allowed to leave a Russian airport Sunday and were locked in a room briefly.

The incident prevented their departure for about three hours, but Obama told the Sun-Times “it ended up not being a very big deal.”

The senators had their passports seized by local officials at an airport in Perm. Obama said the officials demanded, unsuccessfully, to inspect the DC-9 military aircraft being used by the congressional delegation for the trip.

(snip)

Although he was on a first-time diplomatic mission, Obama has traveled extensively, spending part of his youth in Indonesia and visiting Kenya, where his father was born. He noted that as a back- packing college student he had “a lot less leverage than this time.”

Obama , a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, and Lugar, its chairman, left Wednesday for a trip to inspect sites where nuclear and biological weapons are slated to be destroyed in Russia, Ukraine and Azerbaijan. On Sunday, the U.S. group was scheduled to fly from Perm to Kiev, Ukraine. But border guards wanted proof that the group’s aircraft — which Obama said looked like a “mini-Air Force One” — was really an official U.S. government plane, which would be exempt from an inspection.

Robert Gibbs, Obama ‘s spokesman traveling with him, said in an e-mail that “the border guards took our passports and demanded to inspect our aircraft, which we refused. We were moved to a room to wait.”

“At one point they were demanding to inspect virtually everything, including the gifts their representatives at the missile facility had given us.” The border guard said “they were acting on the authority of the FSB,” the Russian intelligence agency.

SEIU is indeed stronger because of the huge growth in government. If it comes to it, the next tea party or the one after that, or the one after that will at some point become a flash bang. If and when the voting public is pitted against all government employees, or it even appears that way, the crap will hit the fan hard.

Tyranny will not triumph for long in this country. Not long at all, and the left had better understand that, because that mistake is the same one they always make every time they grab power and try to keep it. I suspect a few of our European allies would also jump in for tactical support.

I'm just patiently waiting for the call. Obama will not serve a day more than he is entitled to. You can take that to the bank.

Additionally, he is weak if subject to blackmail ... from ‘friend’ and foe.

Quite a lot of people...count me as one of them.

Today on Beck’s TV show....we got an hour of “Van Jones is a Communist”. Pretty much rehashing what we already know...and what Beck has repeated ad nauseum.

It makes me wonder why Beck will not touch the BC issue. Merely asking for Obama to produce the BC would be much more beneficial than to insult a large number of his listeners. Like, what, Beck is going to upset the Obama Admin?

Even more puzzling are the loopy conspiracy theories from some of the posters here covering up for Beck’s refusal to address the BC....and the insulting of many who want to know if Obama truly meets the CONSTITUTIONAL QUALIFICATIONS to be President.

In my opinion....FNC obviously has told Beck and others to shut up about the BC, or forget about being on FNC. The only talkers pressing the issue are those who do not regularly appear on FNC.
