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.”

Didn’t old BJ Clinton just get rear-ended?
If he really wanted us to ignore it he would not have said anything...
Hillary put him up to it.
He’s setting the table for Hillary 2012. LOL
The rapist speaks.
Everything except produce the birth certificate.
Like anyone gives a smelly Obama what Clinton says.
Obama never addresses the question himself. I assume that is to avoid perjury traps.
Ha! Has he discussed this with his wife’s campaign presidential? Short Democrat memories.
WTF? Wasn’t it the Hillary Clinton campaign that started this?!?!
I was adopted, and I have a copy of the colb (Texas). It says nothing, not even my name, just the name of the mother, the time and date of birth, and the name of the attending physician.
My guess is that is all Obama has to show, too. No name, no daddy and “illegitimate” up at the top of the page.
What place is that?
If they t did, they sure didn’t press the matter.
>>>>>“The only place where we’re bigoted now is we only want to be around people who agree with us,” Clinton said<<<<<<
Then he goes on to Chastise Birthers, who dont agree with him.
The bigoted, booze nosed, crooked crank,adulterous, craphead, who’s ,own birth is also shrouded by a broken family and an illegitimate birth.
Not certain if it was her campaign - the money would have to be followed.
However, it was an ardent Hillary Clinton supporter who first brought the issue to light before the primaries.
He's still out there trying to get the documents. His name escapes me at the moment.
Put some ice on that, BJ!!
“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.”
When did he release his original birth certificate?
Wonder what he thinks of “College-ers” and “Indonesianers”?
Everything except produce the birth certificate.
Thank You.
We are being told this on talk radio? I wonder which show he has been listening to.
