Beck backs Obama over Trump's attacks...but is it because he's worried Trump might replace him?

Actually I’ve considered that distinct possibility. Beck is no dummy and the left has desperately attempted to attach the eligibility issue to him. By speaking out against it he continues to show these writers to be liars which makes their attacks on birthers to further lose credibility.

He calls himself a rodeo clown and a rodeo clown draws the bull away from the rider. Meanwhile he hammers them hard on other issues that few others are talking about.

Besides, the diversity of thought is what separates us from the liberals.

Maybe it is because Beck has the common sense to see that both the birth issue and calling Obama a muslum are losing issues with most Americans. Frankly, as far as conspiracy theories I'm more liable to believe Trump is a Demo plant.

[Prince Caspian]

I’ll stand in Beck’s corner vs. Trump any day.

[KevinDavis]

Same here.. Something about Trump doesn’t smell right.

[reg45]

If Mr. Trump runs for President, he would have to cancel any television or radio programs he was on. Therefore, he would not be a threat to Mr. Beck’s (or any other radio or television show host’s) ratings.

[MestaMachine]

Not only is it a lie, but anyone, including Fox, who thinks that trump could generate the kind of numbers Beck does has lost their marbles.
Furthermore, Beck didNoT ttack trump whatsoever. He aid whata lot ofushere on FR have alredy beensaying. Trump is a showboat, not a prsident. And if Fox is even THINKING of giving him a contract, then you know darn well they must be sure that trump ain’t running.

[presently no screen name]

LOL! Good one.

[MestaMachine]

WOW! Wierd typos. Sorry ‘bout that.

[Leaning Right]

Beck could have just stated that he hasn’t seen enough facts to form an opinion about the bc issue, but instead, he poo-poohed it.

Excellent observation. I still can't quite figure out why Beck is letting this powerful issue go.

[TigersEye]

...and then he releases one that's worse than Obama's.

Glenn, a .jpeg is not a document of any kind. Not to mention that Trump went back and got his long form BC after it was pointed out that a COLB is worthless.

As far as speculating that 0bama's BC might say "Muslim" on it what's wrong with that? Since his BC has been kept a secret any speculation is fair and his alleged father, 0bama Sr. was a Muslim without any doubt.

[Boogieman]

“Was he threatened to shut up or is he just that stupid that he doesn’t see there IS a problem with eligibility?”

Oh, I’m sure it’s just that Beck things engaging in such conspiracy-mongering would be bad for his image ;)

[cripplecreek]

Trump is a showboat, not a prsident.

Agreed, he serves a purpose but he's no conservative and most of what he says is is calculated to draw responses but lacks real substance.

Personally I think the most correct answer is to simply state that the American people have a right to ask for proof and if Obama intends to run again, he should provide it. When asked, my congressman simply said that the people have a right to know.

and was born in Honolulu, Hawaii

Even if Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama had been birthed in the Lincoln Bedroom of the White House he is NOT a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN.

Donald Trump

born June 14, 1946 in Queens, New York, NY (Meets the Jus Soli Requirement)

Parents were
Frederick Christ Trump, born October 11, 1905 in Queens, NY, died June 1999 in Queens, NY
Mary Ann MacLeod, born May 10, 1912 in SCOTLAND, died August 7, 2000 in Queens, NY. Arrived in US October 5, 1935. Married January 1936. Naturalized as a US Citizen March 10, 1942.

Both parents were US Citizens at the time of his birth (Meets the Jus Sanguinis Requirement)

Donald Trump is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN unlike Comrade Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama.

I kinda got that impression whe I saw the Politico piece and the comments afterward jumping to Becks defense.

besides taking his comments out of context and leaving out key portions, they were breathlessly attempting to discredit Trump and "birthers" by agreeing with a guy they say is not credible on any other topic.

[Iron Munro]

Beck belongs to the "Bill O'Reilly I Saw The Imaginary Birth Certificate Club"

His five minutes are up.

[A'elian' nation]

Trump should say the following fact and everyone would have to agree “

“The State Democratic Party of Hawaii would not certify in 2008 that Obama was constitutionally and legally eligible for the Office of President.” Nancy Pelosi had to certify this guy.”

Am surprised Beck’s crack research team hasn’t plastered that simple fact all over his blackboards.

[True Republican Patriot]

Beck is quickly becoming a 2bit Hack.....did a great expose on Soros and then just drops it......spends half his time telling Us to bank a years worth of Food!...but never tells Us that as a Mormon, he is required by his religion to do just that! I used to look forward to his work, but lately it’s more like listening to a more moderate Howard Stern, especially his morning radio blasts.....Oh Well!
