Clinton rips 'birthers' By: Andy Barr May 24, 2010 01:52 PM EDT

Former President Bill Clinton is taking the so-called “birthers” to task for ignoring evidence that President Barack Obama was born in the United States.

Clinton made the comments during a commencement address at Yale University on Sunday as part of a critique of American media consumption habits.

“The only place where we’re bigoted now is we only want to be around people who agree with us,” Clinton said. “In our media habits, we go to the television shows, we go to the radio talk shows we go to the blog sites that agree with us. And it can have very bizarre consequences.”

The former president pointed to the “birthers” an example of one of those “bizarre consequences.”

“Hawaii, the state where President Obama was born, has done everything they can to debunk this myth that he wasn’t born in America,” Clinton said. “They’ve done everything but blow up his birth certificate, put it in neon lights and hang it on the dome in the Capitol.”

“But 45 percent of registered Republicans still believe that he is serving unconstitutionally,” Clinton insisted, though he did not identify the poll.

“Why?” he asked. “Because they’ve been told that by the only place they go to get information.”

Why did his worthless shrill wife bring it up during the 2008 election?

Asshat Commies runnin’ wild.

[Freeper]

The article says
""Responding to rumors during the presidential campaign about Obama’s place of birth, Hawaii state officials posted his birth certificate online.""
Where did they post it? When? Who are the "officials?"

[Mariner]

In fact, Mr Bill just wants to keep the issue in the news...high visibility.

Then, once Hillary resigns over some leftist foreign policy action "too left for mainstream Democrats"...she'll be in a position to challenge a failing, hated Obama in Nov 2012.

Nonsense, Mr. Clinton; we can’t ignore what we have yet to see, and, really, just post the original on the internet and put it on display for anyone to examine. Neon signs or hanging from the Captitol dome won’t be necessary.

Hey Bubba, did obama bring you that cup of coffee yet?

His name escapes me at the moment.

Philip Berg was his name.

i’m sorry... what evidence am i disregarding again?

a jpeg on a website is hardly admissible.

a heavily redacted jpeg is also fairly worthless.

a heavily redacted jpeg showing very little information in the first place, is hardly enough to prove location of birth

and while we’re at it... exactly why does student financial aid information have a higher security classification than nuclear warhead information?

please... sit down and STFU

“But 45 percent of registered Republicans still believe that he is serving unconstitutionally,” Clinton insisted, though he did not identify the poll.

Here's a pole that Slick willie can identify.

It all depends on what the definition of “is” is...

[muddler]

You wouldn’t lie to us would you bill?

[kiltie65]

“Didn’t old BJ Clinton just get rear-ended?”

By a car? In this administration, one never knows.

[classified]

Wasn’t Clintons’ lawyer the one that was originally looking into all this for the Clintons when Hillary was running against Barack? I thought they were the ones who actually started the whole investigation of Obama’s birth place, etc. passport, etc.

[Wings-n-Wind]

The Klintoon (X42) "Spouse of Hitlery" = Irrelevant!

You mean the former "Liar-in-Chief" is arguing.... Errr.... WHINING from a double-negative triangulation??

YO BILL -- you are no longer in residence at 1600....
So shut your pie-hole...

You loudmouth, redneck, horndog, POS...
(Apols to all loudmouths, rednecks, and horndogs)

end of rant....

have a nice day!

I love it that Clinton is bringing this up.

Let’s have some fox news reporting of Clinton’s speech.

And then some comments that of course the whole matter could be settled if they showed a birth certificate. After all McCain did just that when the NY Times was a birther.

I believe William Jefferson Blythe had a few things in his background that were also questionable, howver none as glaring as the kenyan.

“...Clinton is taking the so-called “birthers” to task for ignoring evidence that President Barack Obama was born in the United States”

Duh!! What evidence is that Slick Willie? It seems that any person born in the USA in the 60’s can produce a birth certificate except Bam.
