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.”

Again, there would be nothing a person’s State Department Passport file that would be of any interest.

What you said about Russia having his passport,that is a big security issue.

If they do,why would THEY not speak up if it was legitimate and not say a Indonesian passport?

Obama will not serve a day more than he is entitled to.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If he is not a natural born citizen he was not, and is not, entitled to serve even a day.

True, I had to “sanitize” my passport to travel from Israel to Egypt back in the 70’s. Caused less hassle.

The obamanoids are on this thread like their usual assignment ... and, by the way, the passport file of an American citizen can be quite revealing, especially if the person used citizenship from another country somewhere in his past. ... Don’t ya just love the smell of obamanoid trolls as they rush to try and protect their obamaster?

And, by the way, it was probably not liberals who coordinated the seminar caller attack, shamefully: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2420333/posts

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.

Seriously? Has any President, ever, voluntarily released his full college records, showing application and financial aid information?

Dubya released a basic transcript. Clinton never released anything, so far as I know. Do you know something I don't?

Thus, you appear to be asking for records that no President has ever voluntarily provided to the public, in order to quell a rumor that somebody, somewhere, just made up out of thin air.

Well, YOU must have these records, since YOU are claiming that the question as to whether Obama claimed Indonesian citizenship in his academic years is not even a “matter of debate.”

So, just show us the records.

Nine months, I remember somethign about this before the election, or my memory is failing me.

I don't know of any rumors about foreign aid before the election, though I could be mistaken. The primary source of the 'Obama attended Occidental as an Indonesian' rumor was...Orly Taitz.

Specifically, on January 28, 2009. And none of her "sources" stood up to any scrutiny; it's a completely baseless rumor from the queen of completely bad intel.

I think Weigel misportrayed Beck's position. What Beck said (and Weigel even quoted) was:

"Today there is a concerted effort on all radio stations to get Birthers on the air. 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's not saying that liberals are behind the phone-calling; he's saying that Birthers, whether they realize it or not, are HELPING Obama. Birthers provide Obama and the Left with an easy mark to stereotype the entire Right. Some quotes further down drive home this point. I kinda like this one:

"STU: There's a helpful conversion chart for Birthers which is Birthers are to Barack Obama as Megan Fox is to every 14 year old boy. A lovely, beautiful dream come true."

I would also say that it's not a matter of debate that Joe Biden or Mitch McConnell ever had a sex change.

Doesn't mean I need to see their complete medical histories to say that, though.

“not that it was ever proven that he didn’t go to Columbia on a foreign scholarship.”

How would someone prove they didn’t have a foreign scholarship? I’m confused.
