Dobbs on birther controversy: I'm a victim of the "liberal media," which is afraid to "upset the Obama White House"

Contrary to Dobbs' suggestion, the Los Angeles Times article he referenced did note that Dobbs "insisted he believed Obama is a citizen"

      Yeah, you're always the 'victim'. Poor reichwinkers, always 'victimized' whenever you're called out on your BS, whenever you're proven to be the worthless idiots you are.

      Shut your damn piehole, Louser.

      Because Dobbs, you are an idiot. You try to pretend that the questioning is reasonable, when you are really trying to sow seeds of doubt about his actual citizenship. Rational people aren't asking because the birth certificate has been shown in the internet, on TV and in papers millions of times by now. Please Lou, stop pretending you are just a concerned citizen. You are a hate mongering fraud and the real rational people see that.

      Lous Dobbs, you are only a victim of your ignorance and bully mentality. You do know bullies always think of themselves as victims, right? Quit projectile vomiting your insidious racial bile on our airwaves.

        There is no doubt in my mind that 40 years from now I will still be hearing people say that Obama was not a citizen. History shows that even the most thoroughly debunked, transparently ludicrous conspiracy theory will only go to the grave when its true believers do.

      Did you sound like a Birther in that clip you played? Honestly No. You admit the President is a citizen

      Did you sound like an Idoit in that clip you played: Yes. Everyone else on your network (and others) has been holding up a copy of the Birth Certificate and yet you still dont think its been made public. Really if you cant see what is in this case literally in front of your face your an Idoit

      Check the facts / even in the Honolulu Sunday, there is a birth notice of Obama on August 13, 1961.

      You know what I just realized? The U.S. Geological Survey has not produced a 'certificate of roundness' for the Earth. I guess that means it must be flat! I -thought- that it was round, but if they are unwilling to produce this simple piece of paper, suddenly doubt is created. I can't understand why they don't simply produce the paper if the earth really isn't flat.

      Adequate proof is readily available that Obama was born in Hawaii (birth certificate, 2 newspaper articles) unless you believe that either a) Someone predicted Obama would one day run for president and ensured that his birth certificate and the newspaper articles were forged in 1961, or b) Obama is not really Barack Hussein Obama but someone who was not born in the U.S. and took over his identity in order to achieve U.S. citizenship and one day run for president. So either Obama's family was clairvoyant in 1961, or Obama's family willingly allowed someone else to replace their son to go to college and later gain the presidency, or maybe even Obama's FAMILY was replaced with co-conspirators!

        okay ... just for laughs, let's presume that the birthers finally are shot down with absolute proof that the birth certificate is real, and are publicly embarrassed ...

        how long after that happens do they start on the idea that the fingerprints and footprints on the birth records "don't match" Obama's?

        I'd say that it would happen so quickly that they'd almost go backwards in time ... to match their intelligence ...

        It's looks to me like Mr. Dobbs is trying to be "Limbaugh or Beck Lite". He sees what gets the raings and then goes there. (Never quite going over the edge though. You can tell his heart's just not in it.)
        He's not a nut case. Just shaking the bushes for leftover "Limbeck" fans.

      Lou Dobbs doesn't yet get that he has now squandered whatever credibility that he ever had. He is nothing more than a greedy, dishonest reich wing hack, peddling racism and paranoia in order to prop up his mercifully dwindling career. It can only be a matter of months until he signs a Beck-like contract with the Faux News Channel.
