Ben Carson Defends “Birthers” – Alan Colmes Implies They Are Racist
Freedom Outpost
Dr. Ben Carson does not fit the classic definition of a “birther” (whatever that definition might be). He does not seem to believe, or at least admit to believing, that Barack Obama was born anywhere other than Hawaii. He does, however, support the need for transparency and seems to hint that there may be an issue with Barack Obama’s college applications.
Carson, like many others, seems to have a suspicion that Barack Obama may have claimed to be a foreign national or dual citizen when applying to college, in hopes of benefiting. In a recent interview, Alan Colmes attempted to bait Carson into saying that the birther movement was racially motivated. Here is an audio of that interview courtesy of Birther Report:
Below is a transcript of the interview from littlegreenfootballs.com:
Colmes: For example, I never heard of a president before questioned about his birth certificate, being treated as if he was a foreign, “not one of us,” “he’s a secret Muslim;” doesn’t that arise out of some sort of soft bigotry?
Carson: Well, I would say that the best way to put that to rest is expose everything, including your academic records. Let us know, you know, where did you apply – when you applied to Columbia, from where were you applying?
