He's not a birther, but he doesn't put much though in denying it.

Why even consider the hypothetical if he thinks it's nonsense? He has a defeatist attitude about it, as if it's true.

"Even if it was true..."

That's the best you've got?

Have you ever watched Glenn Beck? The guy is a madman. If he had a shred of doubt that Obama was born in the USA, he'd rant and rave about it. You couldn't get him to shut up.

And regarding Beck calling Obama a racist. I don't see what the big deal is. Everyone has been called a racist this past year. The accusation has lost any meaning.

And every time something comes out, you know, what was it? Last week, two weeks ago it was Joe the plumber. "Well, redistribution of wealth is a good thing." No, it's not. Then last week it was, "You know, they didn't take the fundamental restraints that those crazy founding fathers put into the Constitution." I mean, every week it's something else.
He's saying that talking about the birth certificate is a waste of time. All you need to do is play Obama's audio clips.

So if it wasn't for Obama's audio clips, talking about the birth certificate would be time well spent?

What? Where exactly did he say that? You're trying to make something out of nothing.

Have you ever watched his show? Does he come off as someone that minces words? If he believes something, he comes right out and says it. Over and over again.

BTW, here's the audio clip. You can hear that quote around the 0:30 second mark.

Re: Glenn Beck is an idiot

Okay, I listened. He sounded just like I imagined he would. I'm not making something out of nothing. He only said "you don't need to say that." He never said it wasn't true, or was true. It's that whole idea of leaving it up in the air that so many have done that only promotes the birthers. He wouldn't want to offend a large portion of his audience, now would he? When has he ever done anything to risk offending his conservative viewers?

You're making a whole lot out of nothing. Enough to raise your blood pressure.

I'm trying to go with Dave's argument. If he can find a clip showing how Beck really disowns the birther movement, I'll gladly listen/watch that. He's only told me what he believes Beck believes, not what he's said.

I think I've been pretty thorough with the reason for my belief, but I'd hardly call it hypertensive.

It's a joke site, obviously. I'm not going to leave that up in the air, I will actually admit it is.

Well here's a clip (from Media Matters) where Beck refers to "the birther idiot" (around 1:20).



And going back to your first quote. Here's a bigger excerpt:

Quote:
I mean, first of all, the birther thing, what are you going to do. Even if it was true, what, are you going to take him out of office? You can't do that. There's so many things that are going on that are not on the fringes, not conspiratorial.
The guy tells people not to waste their time with the birth certificate stuff. Dismisses the birther movement as "the fringe" and "conspiratorial". Calls the town hall birther an "idiot".

Is that good enough for you? He's made it pretty clear that he doesn't buy into all the birther junk.

Re: Glenn Beck is an idiot

These are birthers




Nothing about this conversation implies Beck believes Obama is not a citizen



He does seem to believe he's a not-so-secret communist.

It sounds like he's only keeping away from saying he believes he's not a citizen because he thinks his opinion would cause a civil war! man, what an ego!

Great clip. I forgot about that one. That pretty much ends the debate.

Re: Glenn Beck is an idiot

btw the last 2 - 3 minutes of the Checkmate clip are awesomely entertaining.

The good "doctor" has been a youtube favorite of mine lately.

That's great stuff. We need this guy on Fox News. Give him the 4AM slot. It'll be Beck at 2AM, Red Eye at 3AM and Dr Manning at 4AM.

What debate, I already said he wasn't a birther. I simply said he hardly advertising that he disagreed. I've never heard him give Obama credit for practically anything, besides being the scariest man on the earth, so calling one woman an "idiot birther" doesn't mean much (it implies there are birther geniuses). Beck even goes as far to say that you can't question his birth certificate because it would damage other positions. In other words, he would go along with it if he thought that enough people would believe it, or that he shouldn't because a civil war would erupt. Take your pick.

Re: Glenn Beck is an idiot

I bet Glenn spends as much time debunking Birther myths as Keith Olbermann, that is to say, very little time. Why should he spend more? No rational person believes that Obama is a non-citizen, to quote Congressman Frank - it's like arguing with a dining room table.

Basically you (and this website) are trying to portray him as a birther, mostly because he says other things you disagree with. You can act as if it's because he's not shouting "Obama is a Citizen" from the rooftops, but you clearly pick and choose the evidence of his transgressions (as you see them).

Dave - The Honorable Doctor Manning wouldn't be caught dead on Fox News He thinks O'Reilly and Hannity are sell-outs because they're not investigating the obvious case of fraud from the Long Legged Mack Daddy.
