On the air today, popular radio host Glenn Beck mocked "birthers" and claimed there is a concerted campaign to get those questioning Barack Obama's constitutional eligibility onto the airwaves a strategy Beck said would actually benefit Obama.
"There's always games being played behind the scenes at a talk radio show," Beck said. "Rush has always called them seminar callers. But instead of being coy with the seminar callers or with you, I'm just going to expose the game that is going on. 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?" Beck scoffed. "I mean, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard."
The ongoing dialogue then spun off into ridicule as Beck caricatured those who question the sitting president's eligibility with straw-man arguments reminiscent of jibes made by Obama's apologists in other news outlets.
Beck defined birthers as people who believe Obama was born in Kenya or other foreign country, was raised as a Manchurian candidate and somehow brainwashed Hillary Clinton into not exposing his fraud. According to Beck's running joke, birthers believe someone maybe Obama's KGB "control" preemptively placed Obama's birth announcement in 1961 Hawaiian newspapers with a "roadmap" of getting an African man into office.

Absolutely right. I suspect that the long version lists his father as unknown but, as you said, that is just an minor embarassment. His mother was an American thus he is a natural born citizen wherever he was born. End of story. Nobody cares about arcane arguments about such things as British dual citizenship.
Is this really it? (re: possible Obama's Kenyan B.C. - Attny Taitz)
This thread makes it very clear that Obama and his people have gone to extreme lengths to create the "move on" attitude you and Glen Beck have. Maybe you don't mind being manipulated by those pukes or maybe you might wonder why they consider it so important to make sure you are.
Is this why there seems to be so many anti Mormon threads every day? Is it some sort of attempt to counter Glenn Beck's influence in legitimizing his religion among evangelicals?
I heard Beck's tirade today and was sorely disappointed. I'm not a hardcore birther, but what I want is for Zero to show the real certificate -- if he can. And I personally don't believe he can.
But to the point of the thread -- if Beck is going to wrap himself in the Constitution and insist on good governance from the criminals currently running our nation while laughing at the possibility that Obama has flouted that same Constitution to gain office, he's a fraud. And I say this as a loyal listener.
Soros is calling the shots. He could have made Hilary back off and I would guess he did.
In our courts we can offer habeas corpus rights to non-citizen terrorists, and an Army Captain who proclaims that his fellow soldiers are committing crimes against Allah is assigned the job counseling combat soldiers. If our founders were politically correct we wouldn't have a nation. They demanded that our commander in chief have no allegiances but to our nation and Constitution. The way they attempted to insure those qualities was to use both of the standard requirements used for millenia, require that he be born in this country, jus soli, and that his parents be citizens of this country, naturalized, native, or natural born - jus sanguinis. Obama is not qualified and he told us so - but we, many of you, won't listen. He said “I was born a subject of the British Coommonwealth”. You worry about his grades, or his passports, or his phony birth certificate. It's like a Monty Python sketch. He says to the porter, “I'd like an overhead bin for my bomb.” The porter says “You're not carrying any fresh fruit are you?”
I've been praying a special prayer just for George Soros.
Same here. I’m willing to entertain the idea that we don’t really know where he was born because of a lack of documentation, but I’m not willing to go out on a limb and point out a location on a map. The “He’s a Kenyan” talk has really hurt the issue. Without all that, we’d be left with just a President with no real reason for not providing all the documentation. The birthers have allowed themselves to become the target rather than keeping it on Obama. :9
That’s the problem with America today. Not enough citizens do care about what is Constitutional or not! And that is why we are suffering this illeagle coup of our country!
I agree except that fraud is too strong a word for me here. I'd say he's inconsistent.

According to the the principal framer (John Armor Bingham )of the 14th amendment, particularly
the Citizenship and the Citizenship Clause (Defining who was a citizen of the United States) and by Mr. Obamas
own admission he is not a Natural Born citizen.
Bingham states: I find no fault with the introductory clause [S 61 Bill],
which is simply declaratory of what is written in the Constitution, that every human being born within the
jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language
of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen
. . John Bingham in the United States House on March 9, 1866
Straw man, the first refuge of the emotional infant.
It is a proven fact that Barry Soetoro is not a "natural born citizen" using nothing more than his own statements in his autobiographies, regardless of where he was born or in what social environment he was raised.
Unfortunately, I can’t produce a link but I remember seeing a poll within the last 3 months that showed a very large percentage of people actually do care. Anyone else see it?
Indeed.
Since Coulter, a frequent Fox guest, made fun of the BC issue, and now Beck, who has a Fox show, has done the same thing, my theory is that they were both told by some very well-placed Fox mucky-muck to lay off the issue and in fact denounce it if you likes your Fox gig.
So they did. I think it’s that simple. As to why Fox would put the cabosh on the issue, I don’t know. Feel free to speculate.
If this is not the reason that Coulter and Beck trashed and belittled the issue, then they are both unprincipled and cowardly pukes. If it is the reason, then obviously they can’t announce the real reason they did it, and I suppose their motive is understandable. After all, they both do us more good on the air than not on the air.
hannity which is ok ,but he rejects the birthers..I enjoyed hannity when he was doing the stop obama express but hannity screwed up with the stop Hillary express cause if we had to get a DEM potus HC would be better than obozo at least she loves America like herself ..obozo just loves his ego~~~
Like my father aways said...
NEVER bite the hand that feeds you.
Because it's hearsay and not admissible. Keyes can claim the usurper said he was born in a Kenyan hut but if/when the usurper denies it, then it's kaput. Glen has been against Birthers for a while. He probably got a phone call on that. Comparing Birthers to Truthers is like apples and oranges. One has nothing to do with the other. Me, I'm a Constitutionalist. He didn't prove he was eligible and therefore he is a usurper until he brings forth that proof. FREE THE LONG FORM, the kindergarten enrollment, the college records, scholarships, and any and all passports.
