Wingnuts Criticizing Wingnuts

.

I think it would be fair to surmise that when conspiracy meister Glenn Beck refers to a conspiracy theory as “the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard”, then there’s a pretty good chance he’s making a valid point.

On his radio show yesterday, Fox News personality Glenn Beck lampooned the birther movement…” Beck argued that the birthers’ agitation is actually a “dream come true” for Obama because they are constantly “discrediting themselves” and making all conservatives look foolish.

Beck is actually right on this one – birthers do tend to tarnish and degrade the entire conservative movement.  What is ironic though, is that the tea party crowd, of which Beck is a major player, do exactly the same thing.  Nothing diminishes conservative criticisim of Obama more than a camera and microphone at a tea party event.  The signs, the rhetoric, the misplaced anger, the idiocy, all of it is just so ludicrous and far-fetched that even valid criticism of Obama gets lost in the shuffle.

In any case, Beck’s denouncement of birthers is not enough to free him from title of Wingnut-in-Chief.  Here’s how he finished off his anti-birther rant yesterday.

“So why don’t we concentrate on those things. Because they’re provable. They’re actionable. And they and once these in, once these things are in, you ain’t gonna have a courtroom to be able to go back on him. You give this kind of movement, if they continue this kind of movement over the next four years, I don’t know what the hell you have left in the end. So why don’t we go after the things that are provable, after the things that actually you need to stop right now. And if you want to argue, you want to argue, then let’s argue based in fact, based on things that are provable and true. And what do you say? Do you want to argue the Constitution? Good. Let’s show the number of people in congress and in the Senate that don’t even read the Constitution. Can’t tell you right now if healthcare is even in the Constitution. Let’s talk to the scholars. Let’s talk to the average Joe that understands this isn’t in the Constitution. Let’s argue the Constitution on the laws and the systems that they are building today. Instead of arguing the Constitution and whether or not he was born in America, why don’t we argue the constitutionality of a little known thing called czars.”
