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.”

Character, a word you will never associate with the toon, or the jug-eared one.
Moral advice from a disbarred, impeached, perjuring, case-fixing, predatory rapist and sink masturbator. Yeah, right.
Hillary Clinton is a 9-11 truther.
In February 2002, she proclaimed on the floor of the Senate that “Bush knew” in advance about the attacks.
Damn, is this what billyjeff has become, zero’s step and fetch? Seems he is now only qualified to spin zero’s prestige and fetch him sound bites. Wow how the mighty have fallen. The rent on SOS is pretty high it seems.
OK so how does this benefit Hillary?
gravity soon .........
As if Clinton has an credibility left.
Go find you a new girlfriend/hooker and shut the hell up!
......Wow how the mighty have fallen. ...
Au contraire mi amigo (a little texmex frog lingo there) the Messiah is a one termer. Guess who is salivating in the wings for a crack at ‘12?
Bill, just show me the birth certificate. Bill, have you seen the birth certificate? Bill, upon what proof do you make your claim?
Bill, how come there is a news report congratulating the "Kenyan born" for becoming a Senator? Bill, why did First Wookie speak of Kenya as her husband's homeland?
Well, Bill, what do you say?
What did Clinton have to say regarding the left-wing loons who insisted that Trig wasn’t born by Sarah?
Those loons included the MSM, as they demanded Palin provide DNA evidence to prove that Trig is hers.
McCain had to show his proof, as he was born on a military base outside of the US, but Obama gets a free pass by the media.
maybe clinton can provide the ss number of the presidente and some school records...i just want to know why this president is so secretive about his past. and exactly what did he do as a community organizer that advanced his career to el presidente of the USA
The “vast right wing conspiracy” guy is whining about birthers. Remember Waco.
I guess graduation commencements are now democrat platforms used to bash conservatives. Such low class trash they all are. What happened to the days when the commencement ceremony was about the graduates?
Well, one thing he hasn't done is allow me, or anyone else, to obtain a certified copy of his brith certificate from the State of Hawaii. So far as I know, my birth certificate is a public record and anyone who wants to obtain one merely has to pay a copying fee to the municipality which retains that record. But not Obama. No.
ML/NJ
According to the Selective Service date of registration, he registered on 9-4-80. I thought you had to register on or before your 18th birthday. He would have been 19+ at that time, or am I missing something?
Didn't a recent study find that it was liberals who only wanted to go to blog sites that agreed with them? Conservatives turned out to be much more likely to include liberal blogs in their reading. Somehow they figured this out by looking at the traffic patterns in the left and right wing blogosphere. To me it's a totally believable result given how stupendously ignorant of conservatives and conservatism most liberals are.
