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.”

Bush’s DUI arrest was an actual, provable fact.

As it should also be with 0bozo's background, were he a man of honor and integrity.

While Bush certainly had his problems, men such as him who possess honor and integrity don't hire lawyers and make smoky backroom deals in order to "scrub" their past. With the Bush family's influence and money that little DUI incident could have been made to just "go away".

0Bambi will continue to stonewall and resist any and all attempts at investigating his background, and nary a word will be uttered by the SRM - unless of course their attention results in ridicule of birthers as fringe kooks.

Leo Donofrio needs our prayers, for it looks like his Chrysler dealer and quo warranto suits are the last, best hope for exposing this usurping fraud. In the meantime, America is screwed...

The Birth Certificate Controversy as I see it:

A reporter from the local newspaper gets a phone call. The caller reports that he has a UFO in his garage. The reporter, a true believer in UFO's, asks if he can come over and see it. The man says no. Next day's headline:

PROOF OF EXTRATERRESTRIAL LIFE UNCOVERED!

Many people write letters and call the paper expressing skepticism. "We don't believe you--let's see some proof!" After ignoring these "cranks", the paper finally relents and tells the reporter to get some proof. The reporter reluctantly goes to the UFO owner with hat in hand and asks for some proof. The UFO owner gladly complies and produces a picture:

The newspaper prints the picture with the headline:

IRREFUTABLE PROOF OF EXTRATERRESTRIAL LIFE UNCOVERED!

The newspaper is deluged with letters and calls from skeptics, who are then derided by the paper as "deniers" and "cranks" and insist that the "controversy is settled".

Case closed.

But it’s funny as hell. :)

The left is enjoying the same kind of fun we had for eight years starting with the “Supreme Court stole the election for Bush,” passing through the 911 troofers, then onto Dan Rather’s “fake but accurate newscasts,” absurd libtards posing as Iraq veterans to slander our soldiers, and the media embrace of the nut Cindy Sheehan and the scumbag Hugo Chavez.

Now it’s their turn. I hope they’re truly suffering; they’ve got it coming. Every distraction makes it a little more difficult for 0 to get anything done. That’s useful.

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

Well it appears that Beck got it wrong --

“If people understood why that provision, which has never been extended or modified, was inserted into the Constitution, they would not be guessing about irrelevancies -grades, grandma, passports, etc. Beck's writers, Limbaugh, Levin, probably know from experience that their audience has so little understanding of our history as to be easily distracted by clever left-wing operatives.”

Note that over on FOX Business Network (FBN) Neil Cavuto’s Show in the evening (not his FNC PM show)has twice had as a quest the Chrysler dealer who is the lead plaintiff in D’Onofrio’s challenge to the screwing the the dealers in the bankruptcy.

If Cavuto, who is a FOX VP doesn't know that D’Onofrio is planning a quo warranto challenge to Obama’s eligibility to ruin Chrysler as POTUS, Cavuto is a fool!

This could be a great segway to the natural born citizen/BC issues for FOX family of network/publications. They could be planning to use the business network to cover D’Onofrio’s quo warranto filing in the DC Circuit (any day now?) as a legitimate business story actively in the DC Circuit.p>

Keep that popcorn handy!

To your point about the FOX general audience being likely to get totally confused and misled by Obots claiming that there is “no reason for Obama to release his HI vital records” (Ha!) I expect that in his quo warranto filing, Leo D’Onofrio will display his excellent skills in making the complex comprehensible in a legally near-bullet-proof way.

My hope is that the FOX attorneys (both behind the scenes and on-air like Coulter) will give the green light to Beck, Hannity and even O’Reilly to discuss the quo warranto eligibillty issue if they are sufficiently impressed by what I expect will be D’Onofrio’s clear logic on the issue.

D’Onofrio was born for this moment and he will begin by lacerating the ludicrous Indiana Appeals decision claiming that the Wong Kim Ark decision made Wong a natural born citizen, so Obama is one too!

I expect that as part of the quo warranto, D’Onofrio will request the “best evidence” original HI vital records for Obama while declaring that he fully “believes that Obama was born in HI”.

That said, I don’t (and never have) believed Obama was eligible to serve. But we can thank McCain and HRC for leaving us in this pickle.

Should have been brought up in IMMEDIATE response to them asking for McCain’s BC in the 9th Circus.

I know for sure Obama is either not eligible or he is hiding something that will destroy him publically. Possibly take any chance of practicing law in the future. No way would a POTUS play these games and pay the kind of money he has when it could be settled quite easily. Presidents want respect and votes, Obama loses both with his nefarious actions.

McCain is way too soft on Obama. It's almost like Obama has something on him. I look at our politicians now and feel they do not speak out because they have done the same thing or worse.

The story about the debate between Keyes and Obama for senate, where Keyes said you are not even NBC and Obama said it does not matter I am not running for POTUS. Did anyone verify that debate happened? I have not heard anymore on it.

Beck says this whole week on Fox News he will go over each case he has commented on and close it. He said he is tired of talking about it and getting smeared by the administration.

Tonight Cloward-Piven and how Obama is collapsing the economy. He says first Obama will set in place his partners to take charge, SEIU,ACORN,Apollo alliance etc.

From Horowitz;

The strategy of forcing political change through orchestrated crisis. The “Cloward-Piven Strategy” seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.

And a reminder Wade Rathke said the same thing.

Rathke acknowledges his support for the Cloward-Piven Strategy, an approach to radical social and political change articulated by Marxist university professors Richard A. Cloward and Frances Fox Piven in a 1966 Nation article, “The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty.” The two academics called for “a massive drive to recruit the poor onto the welfare rolls” in an effort to overwhelm the system.

And look at where we are in just less than a year of Obama in office.

Obama is the figurative gold statue with the feet of clay, we are the Christians with the ability to topple the false god by attacking the the feet of clay it stands upon.

Glenn Beck is fortunate to have a media position and an audience that he has built and nurtured exactly like a daytime Oprah show.

We the average citizen have few resources to challenged the most powerful person on earth, all we have are our two hands in most cases, since we cannot achieve superiority my means of firepower we do have quality by means of quantity.

And the absolute bottom line here is that there is a 100% absolute reason for us each and every person to doubt the eligibility of Obama as President, and we have the legal and moral standings to do anything we have at our meager disposal to fight for truth.

Beck made a grievous tactical mistake or a very clever chess move by his recent actions, it all hinges upon the continued efforts of US to keep digging, to keep digging that escape tunnel with our bare hands, to keep on persevering that eventually it will all come crashing down on Obama about his usurpation as POTUS.

I have thousands of patriots that are demanding Beck answer why this matter is being banned from his show and Fox news entirely.

The Pastor should know that loony conspiracy crap does not sell advertising.

Beck et al are in it for the money.

Period.

Beck should shop for a toupee.

During WW2, the French shaved the hair off of the womens heads who slept with Germans.

Don’t ya just love the smell of obamanoid trolls as they rush to try and protect their obamaster?

Disagreeing with you on the birth certificate issue makes someone a pro-Obama troll?

REALLY? Then NAME the NAMES, jackass.

SHOW where anyone has made a pro-Obama post. Simply disagreeing that the BC issue is the be-all end-all does not count.

Folks who don't buy into that nonsense are not the enemy,
they are simply folks who don't buy into that nonsense.

If the theoretical purpose of "trolls" is to disrupt and divide
then I'd say YOUR actions regarding folks who don't buy into the
BC nonsense are about as trollish as any I've seen.

Jackass.

Well Said.

We have Truth on our side and the clear words of the Constitution that they all are running away from. On their side they have the absence of evidence and the positional power to hide behind black robes. But they cannot hide forever. As the scripture says:

"I would have given up had I not believed that I would see the goodness of God in the land of the living."

I believe it --

Those words, “positional power” is the key to our success.

How does anyone deal with an obstacle of a person with a supposedly higher level than oneself and said person deems it in their power position to be the spokesperson for many?

If we just follow the current we all end up down stream, where I live we witness every year spawning Salmon that travel up river against overwhelming odds, they do not stop to eat, they are targets of combat fisherman, bears and eagles. But they continue to swim against the current because its their sole purpose in life for the continuation of its species, if they chose to swim along with the tide and never go against the current they would become extinct.

We as humans are not so far removed from what we should also do.

Ah, the classic Peewee Herman defense.. "I know you are but what am I?"

So you have no objection to the birthers calling names?

It's only objectionable when the birthers themselves are called names in return?

“Disagreeing with you on the birth certificate issue makes someone a pro-Obama troll?” Nice try at erecting a strawman. Go back through the posts on this thread, the ridicule and insults your hero tosses out so casually at anyone who questions Barry's lies. Yeah, I'd say it fits the mold of an agitprop working conservative sites for the obamessiah. Opposing those who are working on this issue along with other issues in no way makes one an obamanoid, but the incessant attacks on those working to expose Obama’s lies is more obvious than the energizer bunny, mouthgun.
