Because he delivers birthers — like Texas State Rep. Leo Berman — so freakin’ well. Watch this whole thing, where the most surprising thing is that Cooper gave the guy a whopping twelve minutes. I thought Cooper’s take down of lying Republicans was brillz; this was brillzier.

THAT is what the press should be doing, rather than just sitting back and accepting lies and pretending that they are a difference of opinion, they should be pointing out where their facts aren’t correct. Nice Job by Anderson Cooper there.

Has this guy ever thought that putting a President’s passport in the public domain might compromise his personal security?
He doesn’t’ seem to care about anything other than his own conspiracy theories, including demanding violating Federal law to satisfy his own personal curiousity.

What the hell is wrong with these ppl, do they want Pres Obama to pay for Every single one of these nutjobs to travel to Hawaii to see his birth certificate to prove to them that he was born in Hawaii?
I mean it seems that they don’t want to do that themselves b/c they’re lazy cheap fcks, b/c just saying well I haven’t seen in in front of me is not a good excuse it’s all BS.

Cooper got this interview right, bigtime.
That some TeaPartiers are still harboring “birther” theories is a clear sign they got nothing of substance to say. Same goes for the crowd who still think he’s Muslim or social.ist.

My only problem with this interview is….
It shows how the press SHOULD be acting. They should be going after the lies or deceptions of members of Congress or the White House in exactly the same way. But they won’t because they are afraid to lose their access.
I would love to See John McCain, Mitch McConnell or the WH Press Secretary called out when they try to B.S.

MOST public servants from the top down tend to think their shit doesn’t stink and are usually never ever challenged by any for the bullshit that comes out of their mouths. They are hideous representatives of the people.

And just because someone was in the military does not automatically demand respect. It is not difficult to get into the armed forced people.

I’m a political junkie so I’ve followed the birthers for quite awhile and I can honestly say that they are all batshit crazy. They indignantly hold on to their irrational beliefs no matter how much truth you throw at them. Even after Obama is long gone from office these folks will still believe he was a Kenyan born Manchurian Candidate sent to destroy America.
The surprising part of this is the way several of our fellow ‘mos fit into this story. Larry Sinclair had a significant following after he repeatedly tried to pimp the story that he sucked Obama’s dick while Obama smoked crack in the back of a limo. Most of his fans became birthers after he began ranting about the birth certificate.
Then there were/are the rabid nuts over at HillBuzz. They’ve trumpeted every anti-Obama conspiracy in the catalog.
