Rick Perry Shuts Down CNN Reporter For Birther Question

video
» 346 comments

During Rick Perry‘s press conference today about his flat tax plan, CNN reporter Jim Acosta posed a question to the Texas Governor about his recent comments about President Obama’s birth certificate. “You raised the issue of the president’s birth certificate over the weekend. I’m just curious what will it take to convince you that the president was born in this country? And do you have any plans to release your birth certificate?” Acosta asked. “I’ll cut you off right there,” Perry interrupted, giving the reporter an irritated scowl. “That is one of the biggest distractions that there is going. We need to be talking about jobs. If somebody wants to see my birth certificate, I’ll show it to ‘em. But that is a distraction and Americans don’t really care about that, if you want to know the truth of the matter. What Americans want to talk about is jobs.”

RELATED: Rick Perry: It’s ‘Fun’ To Poke Barack Obama About His Birth Certificate

Perry set himself up for the question by bringing up the conspiracy theory in an interview with Parade Magazine this weekend and kept the issue alive in a followup interview by saying, “It’s fun to poke at him a little bit and say, ‘Hey, how about it. Let’s see your grades and your birth certificate.’”

The Texas Governor had hoped his new tax proposal would be the focus of the news today but it has been completely overshadowed by the birther issue.

    The press just LOVES the Birther thing, don’t they? They must all be racists.

  • Michelle

    The corrupt, liberal media has no desire to discuss the issues that are important to Americans because they know it’s a loser for Barry.  They are doing everything they can to talk about insignificant fluff.  Just another reason no one takes them seriously anymore. 

  • News Of The World

    Perry is out of control and, I believe, also has an anger issue.  Time to move on, Ricky. You are not intelligent enough, nor mature enough to hold the highest office in this country.

    Just kick back in your ugly state of Texas and ponder secession like you used to… You’re quickly becoming a laughing stock.

    perry didn’t bring it up. why lie? if you want to focus on his answers to questions fine, but when you start from a false premise, i dont take you seriously

    That wasn’t a question , it was a political statement for his liberal cronies to snicker about at the bar later .

    You reap what you sow, birther Perry.

    Shut up Pablo-you’re just mad cause Perry got caught saying dumb things after his meeting with birther king Trump. If Perry thought it was such a distraction he would have said so when it was first brought up instead of fanning the flames.

    Boy you conservatives have the worst persecution complex. Sad really.

    Rick Perry is the biggest jackass even more so than Ron Paul.     Have you all noticed that he always speaks with his pack of “good old boys”  behind him?    It really turns me off.     He does not have the brain power to be president and he should just realize it.

    Can we please just be done with the birth certificate thing already. He wasn’t even the one who brought it up in the interview and his answer was a pretty level headed blow off of the whole thing.

    “I don’t have any idea. It doesn’t matter. He’s the President of the United States. He’s elected. It’s a distractive issue.”

    Time to let this one go.

    Not having fun poking around in that snake pit anymore?

    Kinda bit ya in the a$$, din’t it?

    No one wants to talk about your silly lil tax plan now?  Ain’t that a crying shame!

    Shoulda thought of the “distraction” response when Parade asked, huh?

    Or at least before you doubled down by saying you wanted to keep the issue alive cuz it was fun to poke at.

    Oh, bless your heart Rick!  You’re a bit slow witted ainchya?

    Perry is a clown, he fed the topic by mentioning his meeting with Donald TRump and saying Trump didn’t believe the BC, and that he personally “didn’t know” what to believe..

    Get your facts straight Jim.
    Perry never brought it up.
    He was asked about it and he said it didn’t matter and he is correct because Obama is President and the only way to change that is with an election.

  • Pablo

    Yup. From the Parade piece as reported by Mediaite:

    Governor, do you believe that President Barack Obama was born in the United States?
    I have no reason to think otherwise.

    That’s not a definitive, “Yes, I believe he”

    Well, I don’t have a definitive answer, because he’s never seen my birth certificate.

    But you’ve seen his.
    I don’t know. Have I?

    Who brought it up, James? Some racist, right?

  • Moosenuts99

    PArry PERPETUATED it instead of putting it to bed. He didn’t bring it up, but he kept it alive with his answers.

    All he has to say is that he believes the president was born here and his BC is legit. Not so hard. Until the : HE WILL BE KING BIRTHER CANDIDATE

    GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!!!!

    Jim Acosta should be ashamed of himself. Asking a politician about something they said in two other interviews in the past 5 days is out-of-bounds-gotcha-journalism. Acosta should stick with “can you tell us how great you are” and “what’s your favorite color?”

  • Anonymous

    Perry’s first response should have been “I do not intend to talk about this. I believe the president’s birth certificate is legitimate, end of story.” Instead, he chose to be coy and blow his dog whistle for the GOP’s retard base. Now he has to deal with the blowback.

I had to for my political economy class, all 1,000 some odd pages. And by the way, you’re wrong. The protect life act stops federal funds from being used for plans that cover abortion, the funds that go towards abortion come from a separate fund and are not subsidized by federal dollars, period.

    Tina_Tampa,

    You’re delusional.  Perry made no joke, he answered the original question in all seriousness that led up to this cnn question.  He made it clear he doesn’t know if O’s BC is real and then said he had just met with Trump and Trump didn’t think it was real.

    It was not a joke,, it was the real clown that Perry is. He’s a laughing stock. Anyone who can’t see he, Bachmann, Cain, Gingrich, Santorum as the extremist and clowns they are, simply has no intelligence.. because it’s out there clear as day.

    Just ask George Will, Karl Rove, and David Brooks what they think of this disgraceful field of gop candidates.   Only valid person is John Huntsman and being the idiot party you are a part of, they won’t give him the time of day.. he’s too sane for your type.

    FACT (this HAS to be true right.. ALL CAPS!).. McCain and Palin were beating Obama in head to head polls before they got trounced. I guess calling people on their old “dial up analog phones” only leads to polls of people who are stuck in 1980? has to be what happened, right? “Fact”?

    Before telling someone that they wrote a stupid post, you might want to edit your own comment. Just saying, edit is spelled edit and not edite like you typed. Also, you might want to not call someone a moron. I mean, I get that this is the net, but c’mon. And when you have to type things such as “Gawd” as in changing the spelling of the word, it’s probably better to not the word period.

    Why would he have to be open to conservative viewpoints if he was merely editing? His main job should have been to only edit. I don’t understand the nuances of being on law review but being that I’m applying to law schools, I’m sure I’ll learn all about this when actually I’m in law school.

    As an aside, I don’t know why you had to type Gawd and Jesus. Do you not see the weirdness in that?

    this is for your comment re “Protect Life Act” below:

    because House GOPs are frakking morons and soulless who don’t understand the Hyde Amendment  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyde_Amendment) and who hate women and like to define rape.

    now, how does one reconcile that the “Protect Life Act” allows for hospital workers to object (on moral grounds) for performing an abortion even to save the life of the mother. 

    “Kill the Mother” or “We Don’t Frakking Care About the Mother” is the more appropriate name for the bill that will never see the light of day. 

    Now, I thought the GOP gave a sh*t about jobs, but the only bills they like to pass have to do with abortion.

    That is an untrue statement, James. 

    Perry did not bring up the controversy, Parade Magazine asked him about it – they brought it up.

    Originally, when asked about O’s BC, Perry responded that he (O) hadn’t seen Perry’s grades.

    Well Perry’s grades are available here:
    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/05/rick-perry-college-transcript_n_919357.html

    Article says mostly C’s and D’s

    The future politician did not distinguish himself much in the classroom. While he later became a student leader, he had to get out of academic probation to do so. He rarely earned anything above a C in his courses — earning a C in U.S. History, a D in Shakespeare, and a D in the principles of economics. Perry got a C in gym.
    Perry also did poorly on classes within his animal science major.

    A Perry classmate:

    . ”This was not the brightest guy around. We always kind of laughed. He was always kind of a joke.”

    A spokesperson for the governor recently told  the Texas Tribune that the university “helped shape who he is today.”

     At the end of his first year he was selected as an editor of the Harvard Law Review based on his grades and a writing competition.[51] In February 1990, his second year at Harvard, he was elected president of the law review, a full-time volunteer position functioning as editor-in-chief and supervising the law review’s staff of 80 editors.[52] Obama’s election as the first black president of the law review was widely reported and followed by several long, detailed profiles.[52] He got himself elected by convincing a crucial swing bloc of conservatives that he would protect their interests if they supported him

    Look.  The problem isn’t the question.  It’s Perry’s answer.  If he has simply said, “I believe the president is a US citizen and that’s all I’m going to say about it.” the comment would not have even made it into Parade magazine.  Even Michelle Bachmann figured this out.  Instead Perry left the impression that he still believes there is a question about the authenticity of Obama’s birth certificate and therefore his citizenship.  Of course reporters are going to want to explore the issue.  Trump demonstrated how much attention you can command by manipulating this non-issue.  Perry brought this on himself.  He can easily end it.  I bet he comes out tomorrow and does just that.

    If the media is perhaps at times “liberal,” as you squaking eejits love to say, there is actually some reason for it.

    Journalism has a foundation in the academic world, and the academic world has values based upon enlightenment principles like science and ‘learning.’ Science and ‘learning’ involve ‘liberating’ the ignorant from prejudice and reason.

    The GOP’s home is the church where tradition, often laced with bigotry and ignorance, reigns. The GOP hates elites, and elites emerge from and reside in the academy.

    Understand? Conservatism is against challenges and maintains only the slightest hold on anything remotely intellectual. “Real Americans” are not intellectuals; they’re largely uneducated.

    Journalism and science participate in reason-based observational analysis. These activities and methods often result in challenging the status-quo–the traditional domain of conservatives.

    Same with so-called Hollywood liberals. Many of these folks in the arts at least aspre to progress, to CREATE art or entertainment. They want to move FORWARD, while conservatives are stuck with a single book that they found in a cave from twe-thousand years ago. They want to “conserve” the meaning and importance of that book and its traditions, while the liberal mind wants to challenge it and go forward.

    It’s called progress..and journalism is part of it.

    Nothing to be ashamed of, brothers and sisters!

    It doesn’t matter.  Your conclusion is wrong either way.  It’s Perry’s equivocal answer that keeps this issue alive not the media asking the question.  It is not news if Perry states the president is a US citizen.  It’s news when he says he isn’t or gives an equivocal answer like Perry did here.

    His mother was of the liberated type and a collector of international men as gratification partners so there is not anything certain about this guys origin and it does not matter, we know him for who he is now. He is a divider, an inept leader, a man with questionable IQ, According to Marueen Dowd of the liberal rag the New York time he was not ready to be President. I believe her.

    He has brought out the liberal racist in droves to attack Herman Cain. It is tragic that a man that had the potential to be a great leader did not have the intelligence and skill to lead the nation. Pleas join us in saving the democratic party and post on ever post the following. Mr. President you did you best. Your can not help your limitations. To be President requires wisdom, intelligence, and leader ship skill and you do not have any of the above. Please resign and save our party and our nation.

    I’d rather be a birther any day as opposed to a socialist or communist. These clowns have no problem with the label, the ideology or the progression of America in that direction. If Barry told anyone of these clowns that he’d leave Michelle for them, they’d believe it and get a sex change if they had to.

    Without Knowledge, Skill cannot
    be focused. Without Skill, Strength cannot be brought to bear and without
    Strength, Knowledge may not be applied.” – Alexander the Great’s Chief
    Physician, study this and think of your post. Shut your eyes and view Obama from the inner soul that has not been polluted by liberal hate and brain washing. You inner soul will show you the truth. Obama is not knowledgeable, he has no skill to focus and no strength to bear. “Your work is to discover your
    work and then with all your heart to give yourself to it.” – Buddha .Obama has not discovered his work and therefore he can not be committed to making America a better place. “Unless you do your best, the
    day will come when, tired and hungry, you will halt just short of the goal you
    were ordered to reach, and  by halting you will make useless the efforts
    and deaths of thousands.” – Gen. George S. Patton. Obama has gave up all pretense of governing and he is bringing misery to the American citizens. As Nero fiddled while Rome burned, Obama partied the night away with his rich friend as America greatness collapsed. Let you soul judge Obama for you physical being is to polluted to accept universal truths.

    Being a Japanese American, here’s the only thing I have to say to the liberals on this site. My grandfather, a legal, law abiding, US citizen was put into an internment camp by a democratic president; more specifically, you’re poster boy FDR. He served this country in Korea in the US Army. Never did he ever blame the government or hold a grudge. Dare tell me when a Republican president ever put anyone into an internment camp simply because of his ethnicity. Racism has historically originated from the liberal left and it’s showing itself here.

    “Perry set himself up for the question by bringing up the conspiracy theory in an interview with Parade Magazine this weekend”

    Did Perry bring it up? No. 

    The media keeps the story alive. They keep asking. It’s stupid, and why journos keep wasting time asking about it, instead of focusing on real issues is beyond me. Perry’s reply to Parade was stupid, and he should have just said, “next, move on, you are wasting my time”. But it is the media that wants to keep this front and center. They keep bringing it up.

    Why is it Perry’s job to state definitively if anyone is a US citizen? He answered like Hillary did when asked if Obama were a Christian. As far as they know…

    Pablo – Racism is a two way street.  It’s not something soley owned by white so get over yourself.  Anybody that throws out the accusation that people who don’t like Obama are racist because he is black – keep in mind he is half white too.   People who call other people racist can’t think of anything else to say because they have/know nothing better to say.   They have a one-track undeveloped mind stuck in the 1960′s..   I would 1,000 times rather have seen Collin Powell in office then Obama.  Take the blindfolds off and see your politicians for what they are and quit being so gulliable.   Quit ignoring all the facts about Obama and his background that point out plainly that he isn’t all he’s cracked up to be.  To do that first you  have to take off those “rose-colored” glasses so you can see him for truely who/what he is.

    The Left doesn’t have a solid argument to make, so it keeps running this stupid birth certificate story over and over again.

    Note to the Left:  Next year’s election will be determined by the economy — and the fact that Mediaite won’t cover that embarrassing subject (meanwhile running a thousand stories on Obama’s birth certificate), won’t help the Democrats one iota.

    “He Who Knows Others Is Wise. He
    Who Knows Himself Is Enlightened.” – Tao Te Ching. You do not know the true Obama. You listen to the words of a man of deception who uses  beautiful  phrases that give the false promise of hope while his warriors are working behind the scene to place the chains of bondage on the human soul through the advancement of entitlements and dependency on a totalitarian government.
    “All deception in the course of life is indeed nothing
    else but a lie reduced to practice, and falsehood passing from words
    into things.”
    Robert Southey 

    Obama did not become a pathological liar after he was sworn in as President, his deception was from childhood. A practiced liar can deceive young minds that are full of the goodness of mankind. This is what happen at Harvard on his election as editor of the Harvard Law. The key to his election was not that he was skilled but based on white liberal guilt.The article said “Obama’s election as the first black president of the law review “. I do not understand why the article pointed out that Obama was black. Did the racist author think that color plays a part on a man’s skill. This is a very racist attitude.

    I do not think that the liberals that fall at the feet of this prevaricator and worship his words as if they are holy are less intelligent than I, they are some very bright members of the liberal society. The disconnect from reality is caused by a physical problem,  the electrical circuit that allows a person to know deception from truth has been severely damaged by the constant barrage of lies told by liberal educators and the lying liberal politicians. Instead of this receiving a full charge that would allow this person to think normally this cell is flashing on and off due to low power. 
    Certainly, it seems true enough that there’s a good
    deal of irony in the world… I mean, if you live in a world full of
    politicians and advertising, there’s obviously a lot of deception.
    Kenneth Koch.

    Well, the day you get journalists to openly announce that their work consists of liberating people from “prejudice and ignorance”, is the day you effect the death knell for any traditional concept of journalism and effect a new sort of priesthood.

    The day they admit with you that racial, ethnic, and religious variables are to be disregarded will be a new day, indeed.

    You might as well be carrying the water for conservatives with these sorts of defenses.  You’d understand that if you were so damn foolish.

    Looking–and reporting–without predjudice is fundmental to the program of journalism.

    Conservatism begins by BELIEVING and then ‘looks,’ but everybody knows what those folks will find: another image of themselves staring right back at them.

    To deny racial, ethnic, and religious signifiers is to deny potent identifiers that continue to exert enormous influence these days. To deny them is to serve the powerful, young lady.

    To be fair, the political hysteria after the bombing of Pearl Harbor was a dark period of American History, and FDR did sign an Executive Order for the camps.
    In 1988 a Democratic Congress passed a bill, sign by Reagan to pay 1.6 billion in reparations and issued an apology. So yes the camps were a terrible in justice, but as a country Congress did eventually try to make amends for these actions both Democrats and Republicans.

    Well; first of all you don’t know what I am…I am actually a pragmatist…and belong to 53% of Americans who voted for Obama because he is a much better candidate then McCain, the Republicans has nominated…A quick analysis as to what would happen if McCain was elected; we would dive in a deep depression (and take the world with us), bomb Iran and possibly start another war we could not finish, march to Libya, double down in Iraq and Afghanistan and remain there for another 30? years…These are just enough reasons as to why the nation so wisely elected Obama; and thank god for that…’Community Activist”? Wow! I never heard that before…I don’t think you know what that means…I wish we have more people like him who cares about public service, concerned about social injustice, to be a Community Activist (I think Republican talking point describes it as Community Organizer:)..which is correct by the way…We do need more people to organize public against the special interests lobbyist, big corporate money and the financial institutions rigging the system and making the mockery out of elections…But, hey! That is OK…OWS is dealing with that and Republican candidates like Perry guarantees 4 more years of Obama…and the country will be better for that…

    Reading down this list, what I see is Liberals attacking conservatives, conservatives either offering data or asking for data, and Liberalas simply responding with more nasty one-liners.

    Is this really all you guys have got? Is there nothing solid and factual that justifies your position? If all you can think of in terms of a response or a statement is to fling an insult, what makes your position worth holding? If it demands you suspend your intellectual capacity to simply shoot from your emotional hip, why should you be so willing to obey that demand?

    Read what your fellow Leftists are saying. Is it at all constructive? If it isn’t, and you are simply living for the emotional charge that destruction brings about, what will you do when you are surrounded by rubble? Pound it into dust? Then what? Die? Uselessly, with your only heritage the reduction of the most sublime creature on earth to a state of unthinking, purposeless savagery?

    I challenge you to consider becoming sick of being used: to direct that anger at the environment that is doing all it can to dehumanize you, and to reject it.

    I wish you the peace of an evening, and sufficient relaxed liesure time to give it some thought.
