Dobbs: "[L]imp-minded, lily-livered lefties ... attacking me" because "I actually had the temerity to inquire as to where the birth certificate was"
From the July 23 broadcast of United Stations Radio Network's The Lou Dobbs Show:
DOBBS: Listen to what he said.
OBAMA [audio clip]: Right now, doctors a lot of times are forced to make decisions based on the fee payment schedule that's out there. So if they're looking and you come in and you've got a bad sore throat or your child has a bad sore throat or has repeated sore throats, the doctor may look at the reimbursement system and say to himself, "You know what? I make a lot more money if I take this kid's tonsils out."
DOBBS: Where's the American Medical Association? Why isn't every doctor in this country outraged at such a statement by the president of the United States? You know, I just can't figure out what's going on.
You know, these -- he's speaking to an audience that -- the only part of which that would respond to that kind of nonsense is the limp-minded, lily-livered lefties -- who, by the way, are also attacking me in a concerted form, as I actually raise a question of this great president.
I mean, think of this. I actually had the temerity to inquire as to where the birth certificate was and why the president of the United States would not turn over that birth certificate to the national media and end the noise. And I also said four times in one show, "I believe the president is a citizen of the United States." I don't buy into the Kenyan secret agent stuff, as Jim Geraghty of National Review put it. I mean, I don't buy into that.
But, I mean, the nat-- the left wing comes after me like I had said -- as I said earlier -- like I had said we should surrender to the communist Chinese, put up a white flag. And then I thought, "No, they probably would have less trouble surrendering to the Chinese than they do with me suggesting that the Great One might turn over a copy of his birth certificate so that the American people could move on past this nonsense."
My gosh.

Dobbs, you whining pile of filth, Obama has produced a copy of his birth certificate. You just happen to refuse this reality.
As for Dobb's harangue, the research done on the reasons for the massive cost differential between McAllen and El Paso, TX, shows that indeed, what Obama said is spot on. Doctors do in fact recommend tests and treatments based on what they will make out of it.
And the fact that Obama already has turned over a copy (which is all anyone can get, even Dobbs) of his birth certificate as was announced on his show three days earlier by Ms. Pilgrim doesn't seem to matter to this space cadet.
I hate to legitimize this nonsense with a response, but a very quick Google search clarifies what's going on here, at least for all us reasonable people. This Kos diary explains it pretty thoroughly. "Certification of Live Birth" is just what Hawaii has always called their birth certificates.
I wasted 30 seconds of my life finding that so you won't have to.
He can't show it because doesn't have it (silly person). The state of Hawaii doesn't release the original birth certificate. Instead they issue the Certificate of live birth.... OR.... you can go to the state office and inspect the original as was done by CNN.. you twits.
Please stop. I love your show. Pull hard and see if you can dislodge your head from...well, you know where.
Oh...and don't forget to drop us a line now and then from your retirement home. Thanks...
Who on earth would listen to this nutcase for any kind of "news"?
Your being attacked for being too stupid to watch your own SHOW, where your guest host told you how to find his birth certificate.
And your being attacked for being too stupid to watch your own network, where they have made a habit of showing a paper copy of Obama's birth certificate on the air.
In short your being attacked for being too stupid/blind to see the very evidence you ask for being held up 6 or 7 inches away from your face
Really? How sweet...
Please relay this message to Lou,
Only racists believe in this childish non-conspiracy! Are you a racist Lou or are you better than that?
Oh Lou... You make me sad.
I mean, think of this. I actually had the temerity to inquire as to where Lou's self-respect was and why the host of the Lou Dobbs show would not ignore the birthers and end the noise. And I also said at least once in one comment, "I don't believe the Dobbs is that stoopid." I - like you, Lou - don't buy into the Kenyan secret agent stuff, as Jim Geraghty of National Review put it. I mean, I don't buy into that either.
But, I mean, the Lou-- Lou Dobbs comes after us like we were idiots -- as I said earlier -- like we had said he should surrender ALL of views to the lefties, put up a white flag. And then I thought, "No, he probably would have less trouble surrendering to the birthers than with me suggesting that the Great Lou might give up a couple hundred viewers so that the American people could move on past this nonsense."
- few doctors belong to AMA
- reimbursement codes are such that fee-for-service generates more money for taking out tonsils
- and yes, some doctors, tired of dealing with complaining moms and an obnoxious kid with recurring problems and that rare but generous healthcare plan, will take out the kid's tonsils. Some big companies have such plans, ask your doctor.
For you to make that comment off topic, makes me no longer wonder if you're just straddling the line... you are one of them... maybe even their leader.
From now on, crazy conspiracy theory guy will no longer be known as Oliver Stone... it'll be Lou Dobbs.
"I think the moon landing is a fake"
"Are you going all 'Lou Dobbs' on me now?"
I hope you get fired from CNN soon, which I think has got to happen. You're not a journalist by any stretch of the imagination... my only sadness with your firing would be that there's a seat waiting for you at Fox.
But I love you being mocked by Jon Stewart.

But, I mean, CN-- the right wing comes after me like I had said -- as I said earlier -- like I had said we should just watch Fox News, put up a white flag. And then I thought, "No, they probably would have less trouble watching Fox News than they do with me suggesting that the Great One might turn over photographs of his basement so that the American people could move on past this nonsense."
My gosh.
tl;dr: Lou Dobbs' attempts to explain away why it's totally okay to imply that the President isn't a US citizen amuse me.
SOT
Mr. Dobbs, Mr. Obama has already turned over a copy of his birth certificate. Guess you missed it.
Strength through Stupid !
He's explained the Hawaii birth announcements away by saying any parent would want their child to appear to have been born in the U.S., to enjoy all of the benefits.
He can't seem to make the jump that a grandmother would like to brag about seeing her grandchild born, which would discount that deposition by his logic.
Of course, I haven't seen the long form of this deposition, and until Liddy delivers it to me, I will assume he is a gentle visitor from Planet Wingnut.
I made it through the wilderness
Somehow I though it was through
Didnt know how bad it was
Until I heard you
You would bleat, ill repeat,
Never enough, you're a has been too
But you showed to us
Yeah, you showed to us
How you really feel
Chorus:
Like a racist
Busted for the very first time
Like a racist
When you get caught (after first time, with your own words)
All you do is whine!
Gonna expose your rantings, boy
Your career is fading fast
Been lying but we caught you
cause only truth can last
You're a swine and you whine
You are wrong, yeah you're really blind
Oh your welcome's worn out
Yeah, your welcome's worn out
By that bitter racist inside!
(chorus)
Oooh, oooh, oooh
You're a swine and you whine
You'll be known till the end of time
as a racist heel
Yeah, a racist heel
There's no place you can hide
(chorus)
Like a racist, ooh, ooh
Like a racist
Burns down deep inside
When you're busted, and your exposed, and you can't hide
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ooh, baby
Can't you take the heat
For the very first time?
As to the doctors doing the more expensive things, how do you account for the dramatic rise in cesarean births?
FIXED
Their panic and their bitterness is obvious.
