O'Reilly Defends Lou Dobbs Against Demands He be Fired Over Obama Birth Certificate Views - Video
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | July 28, 2009 | BrianinMO

Posted on 07/28/2009 4:56:44 AM PDT by Federalist Patriot

Here is video last night of Bill O'Reilly defending CNN's Lou Dobbs against demands by The Southern Poverty Law Center that Dobbs be fired for his treatment of the Obama Birth Certificate issue. O'Reilly said he had investigated the issue himself a year ago a found it is "an absurd story," and "totally bogus."

But O'Reilly defended Dobbs' right to free speech, and said it is not right to demand his firing just because one finds his speech offensive. O'Reilly talked with a representative of The Southern Poverty Law Center. . . . (Watch Video)

The Southern Poverty Law Center???

Are you kidding? Aren’t these the same fascist bigots who also backed up the “right-wing extremist” report by Freedom hating Napolitano?

I don’t know about anyone else here but I immediately fired off an email to O’Reilly over his smug assertion that FOX investigated the birth certificate issue and they saw it so that puts that to rest. Not one word or gesture in showing the viewers just what specifically they consider to be the birth certificate. I was thoroughly disgusted with him but that’s occurring more often than not while watching him. I told him he was no different from Rick Sanchez who says the exact same thing but still not a piece of paper to show the viewers.

Well then I guess that settles it. Time to move on. (sarc)

Additionally, O’Reilly didn’t even correct the spokesman from the Southern Poverty Law Center when he said that Lou Dobbs consistently spews his “right wing” agenda. Guess that’s why he’s on CNN, right?

If Bill O has seen the Birth Certificate let him post a copy and end the controversy—or are we to just trust him. What evidence convinced him? What it the same old evidence the DNC is using? (If Hillary or John McCain didn’t use it it must not exist?) I want FACTS not statements. Maybe old Obama was born in Hawaii—I want proof. If its a non-story why are people from both parties trying to smother it? I smell a rat here. Lets keep up the push until the truth comes out.

Now really, if Mr. Obama’s birth certificate was phoney, don’t you think we would have heard about it by now from a credible source? After all, how would anyone keep this a secret?

Time to turn the page on this issue.

Mr. Obama’s so called health care proposal is much more important.

I can’t stand BOR’s arrogant, pompous attitude. He thinks he knows it all. What he probably saw was the bogus COLB posted on the web. That’s all anyone has seen. BOR has no way of seeing the real BC.

I’m not sure he’s even a Conservative. He says he’s an independent, but, sometimes agrees with the liberals.

The Court of Public Opinion requires real evidence just like any other court.

A thousand evidence-less assurances don’t mean squat.

Let’s see the evidence, then the issue will go away.

If this is somehow an unreasonable position then logic has entirely left the country and sophistic, oligarchic politics has overtaken the Constitution forever.

The President of the United States should now work to dispel any suspicions of some underlying ulterior agenda by coming out in the open with his birth certificate for our inspection.

McCain did not expect us to rely on a statement from a state adminstrator that he was born where claimed. In fact, the democrats would have relentlessly wailed against such a thing—the media would have demanded to see the evidence, not just a third party ‘statement’.

McCain understood this and proactively released his actual, detailed birth certificate—verfiable through process and the data recorded on it.

This is fastest and most honorable way to put an end to all the raging conjecture we’ve been caught up in—conjecture that has been understandable, because we have been stonewalled at every point in requesting information on Barack Obama’s background.

We have been bullied and blugeoned to accept on blind faith that we should put out fates in the hands of a man whose background has been blocked from us.

Blocked in an unprecedented way from his personal, academic and professional records—as well as all but one page of his medical history.

And for demanding clarity and openess, we have been ridiculed.

Now we are chagrined to draw back into our little corner of the world and DARE not ask any more questions of the origins, the whys and wherefores of our opaque and mysterious leader.

We are being cowed into setting aside our logical mental processing and fall in line.

ATTENTION CITIZENRY****NO MORE QUESTIONS****

However, if Barack Obama means a shred of what he loftily pontifcates, now is an opportunity for the president to be clear and open with all Americans.

No one, I repeat, no one could keep this secret if his certificate of birth is rotten.

Next issue, please.

O’Reilly buys into the falsified “Certificate of Live Birth” though, which is a joke.

Conservative? Independents by nature are liberals. And sometimes even more bullheaded because they don't have a true standard base so they go off halfcocked.

BOR makes up his mind sometimes without all the facts and arrogantly states what he believes as in this BC case as fact. This is what makes him so egregiously foolish.

If Barack Hussein 0bama were pulled over by a cop for a traffic infraction, and asked for his driver’s license, you can be sure that the cop wants to see the ACTUAL LICENSE, not a bogus facsimile of a ‘license’ with *some* of the data on it, the cop wants to actually hold the original license IN HIS HANDS, not be given a URL to a website where he can ‘view’ a ‘copy’ of that license that some dubious organization has testified as to it’s validity.

NONE of 0bama’s predecessors in the Oval Office have gone to the lengths that he has gone to for the purpose of concealing his birth, school and travel records, WHY would someone spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on attorneys to prevent the release of such information, when a $15 fee would eliminate the questions once and for all?

I’ll tell you why, because 0bama was NOT born in the United States, is NOT a natural born American citizen, and is NOT eligible to serve as President as defined in the Constitution.

Who was the DOCTOR who delivered 0bama into this world? There had to be a doctor, because if as 0bama claims, he was born in some hospital in Hawaii (which one we really don’t know), a doctor MUST have been in attendance, so what was his damn name?!?

Let’s have THAT bit of information, how about it?

Well they've done a damn fine job of keeping 0bama's personal history secret so far, so that shoots your assertion to smithereens.

Nope. Doesn’t touch it.

This is a non-story.

Next issue, please.
