Glenn Beck Accuses Liberals of Coordinating Birther Phone Calls
On his radio show today, Glenn Beck accused someone, somewhere, of orchestrating phone calls about the conspiracy theory that President Obama was not born in America.

“Today there is a concerted effort on all radio stations to get birthers on the air,” said Beck. “I have to tell you, are you working for the Barack Obama administration? I mean, that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.”

Beck explained his skepticism of birtherism in a back-and-forth that’s worth reading and concludes with jabs at the press and at the birthers.

“As the guy who the media says is the king of conspiracy theories, all I do are forward conspiracy theories, let me forward this conspiracy,” said Beck. “He was born here because it seems a little unlikely that somebody planted the birth records, okay, a little unlikely, in the newspapers. Now you would say, well, then why doesn’t he just produce? Good question. That one kept me up for minutes at a time, minutes.”

Actually there was a post on FR this weekend urging everyone to call Beck today about the BC issue.

There's also liberals here posing as conservatives too.

1. If Beck keeps insulting his base this way...
...he's going to be sitting under a bridge somewhere in a couple of years wondering where he went wrong.

2. Its a term you are going to hear a lot soon - "Seminar Callers"
This one really pisses me off because the Republicans have been doing it for years and now they are blaming Democrats of doing it when no such thing exists.

Massive call ins to support a point of view. Republicans are blaming Democrats for doing it and saying on air that they are calling in as old time Republicans.

Its pure horseshit.

ACTION ALERT: FORCING GLENN BECK’S HAND
American Grand Jury ^ | January 3, 2010

Posted on Sunday, January 03, 2010 8:54:35 PM by Man50D
On Jan 4th, 2010 at 9am I have thousands of patriots that are demanding Beck answer why this matter is being banned from his show and Fox news entirely.
This is called Operation “FLOOD IT”
We will all call (888) 727-2325 and demand to know:
Why there are pending lawsuits in the courts and Fox news is not talking about them?
Why have the lawyers and plaintiffs never appeared ONCE on Fox News?
Why is Fox News protecting Obama with this issue?



blah blah blah ......More of their crazy shit.

Edit to say: I think it's funny....Beck calls them crazies, and they accuse liberals, pull the thread and act like they never heard of the idea. Typical.

7. OMG too funny!
There is one person, just brash enough, and able to capture the national spotlight...Sarah Palin. I really wish she would have stayed as governor - she could have pushed for a credentials law in Alaska. She still can gain alot of attention these days, though...I wish she would post hers on her Facebook page.

If Obama was found to be ineligible and removed from office, the black people in this country would go insane. It would be the Rodney King riots on steroids all over the country and even though they think they are half the population, the truth is that that they’d face a huge numerical disadvantage outside the inner cities. The end result would be a bloodbath for both sides and race relations returned to 1870 levels.

Maybe Beck is a CIA operative like Jones claims.

Beck does not participate in roomers and that is all it is now.
