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.

Not a good day for Beck.
Pass the pop corn please
I like Beck; however, he shouldn’t mock something that is important to people. No matter why Obama has chosen to play this game of his; Beck and the others should be honest with the American people as to why they are not speaking about this issue. That to me makes him and others who are denying whatever just as guilty as Obama.
As the saying goes “ALL GOOD THINGS must come to an end” ....deep down we all knew that Beck would eventually crack ....so be it...
I’m with Beck. This is going nowhere.
Well that does it for me. Ann Coulter, Ingraham, Boring Boortz, and a few others have also been sell outs. Rush, Savage and Hannity have not sold out. Sad - I liked Glen.
Beck has discussed this before and he said he found no there there. Finding no evidence what so ever, he had done the smart thing and let it go.
HAR!
says the guy who’s discernment totally missed the whole Joseph Smith thingie
So if a cop pulls you over and asks to see your driver’s license, you can just say, “I have one.” And when he says, “Where is it?” just repeat, “I have one.” And if he keeps on asking for it, tell him he’s nuts. After all, you already told him that you have one.
Joseph Smith was born in Kenya too?
I agree. Continuing on with this with absolutely NO evidence makes the birthers look like truthers.
” Finding no evidence what so ever, he had done the smart thing and let it go.”
Only an idiot with a political agenda could possibly say there is no evidence since there hasn’t been one shred of evidence to suggest Obama is a US citizen much less a natural born citizen. Every single piece of paper about that man has been locked tight.
