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.
As for Obama producing a long-form birth certificate to actually prove his place of birth, Beck questioned, "Why do that when these people ['birthers'] are so discrediting themselves?"
Get the must-wear clothing item for 2010! "Where's the birth certificate" T-shirt!
The radio host further argued that by distracting the public from actionable issues, "birthers" have become "a dream come true" for Obama, an ideal situation akin to the fantasies of adolescent boys after Hollywood bombshells.

‘Dumbest thing I’ve ever heard’

Has Beck gone back to using drugs again?
Sad.
Let’s see his birth certificate Glenn...or is there no money in it for you?
Glenn is on the get rich quick plan.
gb does not see, hear or speak anything that his masters @ faux do not want. Unless, of course, he is attacking these things.;They cannot even allow that others see, hear, or speak these things—opinions, that is.
Uh oh, Beck is obviously a RINO!
Beck is owned . A traitor .
It’s foolish to think that Zero was born in Kenya ... that dog don’t hunt, and it gives him ammo to paint his opponents as kooks. But the question remains: what the hell is he hiding? I still believe it has to do with his paternity ... the name ‘Frank Marshall Davis’ keeps coming up.

It is sad...he of all people should know where there is smoke there is fire....
Beck looks like an absolute idiot going off on Birthers like that.
You know a so-called “Conspiracy theory” has legs...and is true....when the opposition starts making long-winded hair-brained explanations on why such “theory” is a “Conspiracy Theory”, and how “its not true”....
All Birthers ask is for Obama to produce the real long form BC. People like Beck just are Enabling Obama when they refuse to properly adress the issue
And kudos to this group for exposing how much a fraud Glenn Beck really is....
Yeah.... Beck, Rush and most of the radio jocks have purposely turned a blind eye to the birther issue thinking it is a dead end....I agree with the birther issues, but the jocks think it is a dead end that it may cause more trouble than it fixes.
I honestly dont know the right path to take....I suppose I will have to see how history views this issue.
Well, I like Beck, but he’s off base on this one. The only thing I want to know, is, is he a Native born American or not? The real birth certificate will suffice.. :)
Tim-
I would love to see the birth certificate. I think it has something on it that would be quite embarassing for him (like another man’s name under “Father”).
But I can’t buy the theory that he was born in Kenya and they faked his birth announcements in Hawaii.
Glenn, I think that Obama said his dad was a british citizen at the time of his (obama’s) birth.
That makes him a dual citizen.
That makes him ineligible to be president.
It doesn’t even matter where he was born.
Idiot.
Beck’s a tool, just like O’Reilly, Limbaugh et al.
I don’t know why people can’t make that realization.
It’s not real, it’s T.V.
Glenn is picking his battles wisely, and he has enough sense to realize that the birther issue is quixotic at best. Sometimes Occam's Razor needs to be applied ... this is one of those times.
