Anderson Cooper OWNS Montana 'Birther' Bob Wagner - February 16, 2011

[chgosatrap]

pure= "white".  gotcha!

[mccainisthroughX]

@chgosatrap

Yes, racists degenerates, they're not easily camouflaged, hard as they try, covered in Krispy Kremes.

[chgosatrap]

Well, Bob Wagner, I can certainly say whether or not you overdosed on Krispy Kremes.

[mccainisthroughX]

@chgosatrap

LOL!

[Tgogators]

Go Anderson!

[mccainisthroughX]

@Tgogators

Yeah! Thanks for watching too! Be Well!

[ttdrifter]

I'm still laughing at the quote at the start of the video, his life must be a bitch.......what time period did he do this interview in? I agree with KickbuttAsian, Anderson you good, i would have been laughing my nuts off in an interview like that. The power we give to idiots to run a country.

[mccainisthroughX]

@ttdrifter

Great post, thanks! We agree.

[00sparkleandshiiine]

What a disgusting bloated simpleton that man is

[mccainisthroughX]

@00sparkleandshiiine

Racists always are sick, and this guy is the worst of the worst, an abject moron too. Thanks for posting too!

[islespatrick]

best journalist 

[mccainisthroughX]

@islespatrick

Yes, he's quite good. Thanks too!

[avarioussire]

@6:10 "Well, eh sir, ummm, maybe you could do better at it..."  WTFFFFF L-O-S-E-R

[mccainisthroughX]

@avarioussire

LOL! That was a great moment, when the idiot buried himself with his own dirt. Kooks, they're funny. Thank you for watching too! Be Well!

[belfast479]

states, having to spend money on bills like these, wasting tons of money on bullshit, is why we have to close schools and lay off policemen and firemen. so moronic it hurts

[mccainisthroughX]

@belfast479

Yes, sad. Thanks for posting too!

[Nogger86Germany]

Keep sane, America! Best regards from Germany!

[mccainisthroughX]

@Nogger86Germany

Dankeschön!

[Democrate4Life]

This guys isnt qualified to be working at wal-mart

[mccainisthroughX]

@Democrate4Life

LOL! True! Thanks!

[lazersoupe]

Politics is a dirty game where only the crooked have the best chance of getting to the top. The american dream began as a philanthropic endeavor but human greed, selfishness and corruption got the better of it. The corruption of man has such a head start that politics doesn't have a chance of righting it

[mccainisthroughX]

@lazersoupe

Wow, how insightful! Thanks for commenting, regardless of how sad the fact is. Be Well!

[imjustsayin11]

bottom line this guy is a racist and doesn't want a black president.

[mccainisthroughX]

@imjustsayin11

That's right, and there's no way for him to obscure that fact. He's a dope. Thanks for posting!

[GeorgiaKev]

Cooper kicked that redneck's fat ass clear across Montana!

[mccainisthroughX]

@GeorgiaKev

LOL! Well said, and thanks for having watched too!

[Shelby596]

Anderson Cooper is such a freakin' badass!!! Love him!!

[mccainisthroughX]

@Shelby596

LOL! Yes, he is fantastic! Thanks for watching and posting too! Be Well!

[Motive11331]

Wagner: "A natural-born citizen...[is someone whose parents are U.S. citizens]"

AC: "Well that's not what's in the 14th Amendment."

.

.

.

Wagner: "I don't believe that to be so."

AC: "You do acknowledge that your interpretation of what a natural-born citizen is, who is qualified to run for president, is different than what has been accepted, now, for quite some time?"

That awkward moment when you realize on national TV that your argument is completely baseless.

[mccainisthroughX]

@Motive11331

Yes, and poor wagner still doesn't get it. Those brain cells of his (if there are any), are useless. He's an embarrassment to America, and his species, whatever that might be. Thanks for adding the apt comment.

[mccainisthroughX]

@littlechickification

Exactly. The issue has been settled for ages, although Kooks can't accept reality. President Barack Obama is a Natural Born American, and anyone saying otherwise, should read their prescription bottle carefully and follow their Psychiatrist's guidance to the letter. Thanks for watching too!

[Shelby596]

I love how confused Anderson looks when this kook tries to explain himself! LOL!!

[mccainisthroughX]

@Shelby596

Yes, priceless. Any time a rational human being hears something so out of the realm of reality that they have question whether the creature even resides on Earth, is a breathtaking moment, and shear comic delight. wagner is a psychotic, and it was befuddling to Anderson when he jumped out of his strait jacket. Funny stuff. Thanks for having watched and commenting too! Be Well!

[6ft7inHIBread]

This Montana state congressmen totally got the rug pulled out from under him at 6:10.

[mccainisthroughX]

@6ft7inHIBread

So true, and he isn't even aware of it since he doesn't possess a brain cell. Thanks for watching and for commenting too! Be Well!

[kwatts337]

hey any birthers here? Where were you guys at when the bush, clinton, bush sr...etc. ran for office? Why is this issue soooo important all of a sudden? Hate to pull a race card, but you guys leave us "sane" people no choice lol.

[mccainisthroughX]

@kwatts337

Very well said, and correct! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment too! Be Well!

[Pauly69s]

im so ashamed Missouri was one of the states shown to be considering a birther bill...sigh

[mccainisthroughX]

@Pauly69s

We know how you feel, but not everyone is a Moron, thank goodness. In fact, a large number of folks from the state have visited and commented that this Kook does not speak for them, which illustrates how many residents are aware of what Blithering Idiots the "birthers" are. Thanks for watching too! Be Well!

[neopersia99]

Save us from the nutjobs!!!

[mccainisthroughX]

@neopersia99

We're trying! The more videos we get out, the more aware people become of these sick Kooks. Thanks for taking time to watch and post too! Be Well!

[vtecjedi]

Good ol fucking hillbillies :) never a dull moment

[mccainisthroughX]

@vtecjedi

Funny, and well stated. Kooks, they're always worth a hearty chuckle. Thanks for watching and be well!

[mwan245]

Anderson Cooper has major swag!

[coolaznballer]

LMFAO Bob Wagner lost the argument and admitted his defeat as soon as he mentioned "You know, In the state of Montana we wish to do what we think is right."

[mccainisthroughX]

@coolaznballer

Yes, wagner is a Moron, no offense to Morons. Kook wagner also contradicted himself when he said that his state "abides by the US Constitution," which details the opposite of his entire argument as the qualifications for US Citizenship. The Kook's a few dozen bricks shy of a load. Thanks for watching and commenting also! Be Well!

[mccainisthroughX]

@avernormalboy

Yes, we agree with you, it's sad and depressing. Thanks for watching and commenting too! Be Well!

[mchchicago78]

America is declining because of lying racists who really like money

[mccainisthroughX]

@mchchicago78

BAMMO! Exactly right! Thanks!

[KickbuttAsian]

I'm respect Anderson not only cuz he's a good journalist and he's pretty intelligent, but he can keep a straight face while listening to this babbling idiot.

[mccainisthroughX]

@KickbuttAsian

Excellent point! It would be difficult to listen to this idiot wagner without laughing hysterically in his face. Thanks for watching and commenting too! Be Well!

[billybob101013]

@KickbuttAsian babbling idiot? in american we call it racism lol

[mccainisthroughX]

@billybob101013

Yes, he's a "Babbling Idiot" and a Racist Kook. Thanks for watching and commenting also! Be Well!

[mattattack1986]

regaurdless of Obama, were our founding fathers born in america?

[mccainisthroughX]

@mattattack1986

No, not a single one of them was born in America, nor were their parents, obviously. They were all born in England, making them British citizens. You cut to the chase, thanks for adding that, and for having watched too! Have a Great Memorial Day Weekend too!

[zanografix]

Line 10 of his long form is proof he is ineligible.

Obama is a British citizen.

[mccainisthroughX]

@zanografix

WRONG! Line ten of American-Born President Barack Obama Long Form Birth Certificate states that his Father, a Harvard Graduate, was 25 at the time Our Duly Elected President Barack Obama was born, In Oahu, Hawaii. Racist Idiots ought to be deported our of Our Country. President Barack Obama will be reelected, so get used to it Kook.

[GinaMasera]

Anderson Cooper's facial expressions while this dude explains his definition of a natural born citizen from 5:42 - 6:07 = PRICELESS!!

Bob Wagner: "Sir, Maybe you can do better at it"

Anderson Cooper: "I don't know what that means"

ROTFLOL!

[mccainisthroughX]

@GinaMasera

Yes, "Priceless" is the perfect term for the expression he made. wagner is such an Idiot that he can't even come up with any grounds for his deranged comments, but to say "maybe you can do better at it" is the most childish thing stirring in his empty head. Trying to explain to wagner that you can't follow Our Constitution by ignoring its contents would be like trying to explain the Theory of Gravity to a Cheesecake, no offense to cheesecakes. Thanks for watching, and Be Well!

[avarioussire]

So embarrassing

[mccainisthroughX]

@avarioussire

Yes, wagner's family must be living in a log now. Thanks for watching and commenting too!

[shoupyou]

Wow! This guy Bob Wagner does not understand the basic definition of a natural born citizen according to the Constitution, and he insists on remaining uninformed.

[mccainisthroughX]

@shoupyou

That's correct. It's ironic that this Idiot wagner says that his job is to "abide by Our Constitution," yet he's unable to not only identify the contents of Our 14th Amendment, but adhere to them as well. He's a Racist Kook, little more. Thanks for watching and commenting too!

[AsherSax]

"Anyone born in the United States, regardless of what their parents are, is considered a natural-born citizen."

"I don't believe that to be so."

It's in the United States Constitution! And the stuff earlier where he was making up incoherent sentences to which Anderson Cooper reasonably said "I don't know what that means" and he had the balls to say "I don't know what you mean"? If I lived in Montana, I'd feel ashamed. And I'm Mississippi so that tells you how ashamed I would be.

[mccainisthroughX]

@AsherSax

Yes, he lets everyone know he's clinically insane with that, and many of his other deranged comments. The one you pointed out is particularly insane. The Kook is in no way fit to serve in Our government and should be yanked out at once, and sent back to Kindergarten to work his way back through the educational system until he lives in reality, not birther Fantasy Land. Thanks for watching and commenting too!

[akasandunguera]

Bush steals an election (2000) everybody lets it slide. Obama wins the election fairly and we think he is undeserving of the presidency. Birthers are idiots. Like the tea party

[mccainisthroughX]

@akasandunguera

Yes, and you put it perfectly and succinctly! Thanks for having watched also! Be Well!

[mccainisthroughX]

@bman6871

Yes, well said! Thanks for watching too!

[armadaskier175]

That man does not represent ME, and I'm a Montanan.

[mccainisthroughX]

@armadaskier175

Yes, he doesn't represent anyone, he's deranged! Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts! Be Well!

[cyclelt89]

They evaded the issue. There is not a long form. His wife has said twice that he was born in Kenya, so have others, which not even part of attroney Orly Ts case. These people are not journalists, but political operatives protecting a con artist. He is a communist, a muslim, born in Africa. This will be obvious soon, and the entire media will lose all credibillity even among they still can dupe.

[mccainisthroughX]

@cyclelt89

LOL! President Obama's wife has NEVER said anything of the kind. Stop getting your information from fox Comedy news, it's only Lies, Spin and Idiocy. Their chief Kook, bill o'reilly said "We didn't invade Iraq." Do you buy that deliberate lie too? Sad for you.

[Mozart1220]

@cyclelt89 They showed the long form. You lose. Move on to his education like your hero Hair man.

[mccainisthroughX]

@Mozart1220

LOL! Anyone who thinks Our American-Born President Barack Obama was born in Kenya, has some serious problems with Racism, or another form of mental illness. Thanks for watching and commenting too!

[BigTrollShaman]

omg i didn't know retards could be senators

i want in now!

[mccainisthroughX]

@BigTrollShaman

LOL! Thanks for watching also!

[almo2001]

Great clip!

[mccainisthroughX]

@almo2001

Thanks! And thanks for watching! Be Well!

[pkpapers]

The problem with the birthers is that they subscribe to outmoded ways of thinking: logic (which is patriarchal), evidence (not as good as "discourses"), critical thinking (not as good as postmodern (Marxist) "critical theory"), and facts (not as good as "feelings"). How are we ever going to set up a utopia run by experts as long as people keep using reactionary unprogressive patriarchal opressive "linear logic."? Fortunately the medical profession has a solution: psychotropic drugs.

[mccainisthroughX]

@pkpapers

Yes, the recommendation of "psychotropic drugs" is a good start, along with extreme psychiatric therapy. birthers are racists who have tried to find alternative justifications for their hatred of their Black President. It's too much for the backwards, childish Kooks to accept that their President is Black, so they invent reasons like the "Kenya" nonsense to disparage President Barack Obama, but all they're actually doing is calling more attention to their Anti-Patriotism. Thanks!

[jay123jd]

@pkpapers These birther's mommies and daddies already tried that back in the 60's with the whole phychedelic scene now we see why abortion was made legal.

[chronicman06]

This is nothing new to blk Americans. These type of tactics were used to discredit people of color in America for decades if not centuries. These republibagger freaks are the stench on the USA!

[mccainisthroughX]

@chronicman06

You're exactly right. It's pathetic too. These idiots ought to be forced to read the Statue of Liberty and Constitution over-and-over until they get it, adhere to it, and live by it. They are despicable Anti-Humans. Thanks for watching and commenting too!

[chronicman06]

Wht right wing racists gone mad!!

[kauzmic1]

This is so embarrassing. I'm so ashamed to be a Montanan right now. The governor offered a bit of relief when he told these asshat bagger birthers that they're making all of us look like buffoons.

[mccainisthroughX]

@kauzmic1

No reason to be ashamed, the Moron doesn't speak for you as an individual. Thanks for watching and commenting too! Have a nice weekend and Be Well!

[DeadmanInc336]

Is it me or does every single Birther, Teabagger, Conservative, and FOX News anchor suffer from ODS (Obama Derangement Syndrome)?

[MrAndyBones]

@DeadmanInc336

It's much worse actually. Their tactic is to throw a ridiculous issue such as this out there and say "here, look at this!" while the real issues, the fallout from the Neo-conservative free-for-all, and the glaringly obvious truths behind all their bullshit slip right over the heads of all Americans with a sub-100 IQ.

For everyone else, it's the other Comedy Central.  "Dey took 'er jobs!"

[lesleyburt]

I've always wondered if Hawaiians feel like American citizens. Like, is it just a formality to them or do they feel a connection to the mainland?

[lordg69]

So embarrassing for Montana...

[MrKPalmer123]

Mr. Wagner says "we" as if he speaks for all Montanans. He does not, and this Montanan is embarrassed to be lumped in with him.

[FlyFishMT247]

Bob Wagner is a moron. Carry on. 

[MT1family]

Mr. Wagner can sound like a car salesmen (obviously not in this interview), but that is how he was elected. Sinc,e he has been in the capital, It's all about what Big Bobby Wagner wants & needs for HIMSELF and whatever gets his business more money. This video was wonderful, I'm sharing it with everyone I know.

[MT1family]

I have met Mr. Wagner, he is crazy, his points are all that matter to him and he will not listen to anyone.  He is a great embarrassment to the state of Montana, I wish we could kick him back home to Colorado so we wouldn't have to put up with his BS. I can almost guarantee he will not get elected to another term in the state legislature. I'm still embarassed.

[NewYorkCityUSA7]

Another dumb hillbilly; this man and people like him are what keeps America stupid.

[mwan245]

@NewYorkCityUSA7

haha yeah dumb rednecks

[mccainisthroughX]

@mwan245

At best. Thanks for watching and commenting also. Be Well!

[canucking]

5:45 Cooper's like WTF is he saying?

Welcome to the Wild wild west.

[mizzoulibertarian]

I think he was born in Hawaii. but they sure don't handle this well. they say they are going to get a birth certificate and they don't. and then they claim a certificate of live birth is a birth certificate. I think that hurts Obama.

[mccainisthroughX]

@mizzoulibertarian

Our President Barack Obama presented his Birth Certificate long before these Kooks made it an issue. Claiming that Our American President Barack Obama is anything but a Natural American citizen, only hurts the Kooks, and it should, they're mentally damaged racists using this as an issue. It's called "Mental Illness." Thanks for watching and commenting too!

[tonysalecki]

i live in missoula mt and this and our current gop legislators are massive embarrassment to Montana

[camras]

Does anyone else hear Facebook chat chirping from around 3:15 to 3:30? Sounds like Wagner's getting some mid-interview coaching from his birther brethren: "Dammit, man, mention Vattel! Name-dropping 18th century Swiss philosophers always makes you sound smarter!"

[OneKingTodo]

Oh my God, this man represents me.

[08dust]

As a lifetime independant voter, I find all of these right wing birthers an embarrassment to the republican party, and all of it frankly puts me off from ever voting republican again. I dont know what happened to the times when we had respect for our president, but it is non existant today. Anderson Cooper was only insultive to brainwashed individuals. He also revealed how Bob Wagner could not hold a valid argument, which is a FACT. It appears that Bob Wagner is the male version of Sarah Palin

[MadXMax187]

That guy probably lives in a one man shack (like the unabomber)

[Eupator5]

Birther rhetoric never ceases to leave me appalled at the state of political discourse in our country, but this professional liar being from my home state makes it even more embarrassing. Being from Montana is something I've always been thankful for, and that this guy made me feel ashamed of my heritage for even one minute is unforgivable. I hope his constituents decide to vote him the fuck out next election cycle.

[darrentlong]

I live in Montana and am terribly embarrassed. We're not all hayseeds here, but this guy clearly has no idea what he's talking about. I can't believe we're electing people that can't even form a full sentence. WTF?!

[redbe75]

But I agree, its no more insane than liberal 9/11 truthers..

[Marakulous43]

@redbe75 Absolutely

[redbe75]

Im conservative-libertarian.. not exactly inline with Obama's policies. . But these birthers are insane.

[eqsmooth]

It is true: Hospital birth certificates (long form) are UNACCEPTABLE as forms of ID. Only County and State Certificates irthers and truthers should get together and FUCK each other. Why? Because it all does not matter. 2001 was ten years ago. Obama will last 2 more years,

[TheSpiderByte]

Cooper's facial expressions when Wagner talks totally screams 'What the **** is this guy trying to tell me?"

[natrldsastr]

Thanx so much Mr. Wagner, for making a fool out of MT. I'm pretty sure this was NOT what the people of MT elected you for. Get your ass back home and pay attention to what your obviously better-educated constituents expect out of you. What a waste of time, energy, and yes---TAXPAYER DOLLARS.

[jvujo]

I cannot believe this is my representative for Madison County, MT. He certainly does not represent my views, or the views of any Montanan I know. I am embarrassed to be lumped into any category with him.

As a "constitutionalist", I would think he might have at least read the constitution. I know there are certainly more pressing matters facing our state and county than the matter of a birth certificate for a political candidate.

[brianamt1989]

OMG this is hilarious.

[princessgina99]

im from montana....thank god ive been out of state for years. that guy made himself look like an idiot. he needs to take a few speech leasons...how did he get voted in I think ive thought 3rd graders more articulate and with a better understanding of the constitution.

[billthebutcher2]

I am originally from the Blackfeet reservation, we vote Dem there thank God, outside of Missoula a big portion of the state has some serious cartoon character politicians. Lots of good people in MT who lean naturally conservative, unfortunately the politicians are loons. This guy here has probably never had an original thought pop into his head. Plus there are lots of power lines in MT and he probably grew up living under a few.

[crackerjacks32]

I am sorry to say I am from Montana...... But thank god I am in Missoula The one Liberal Town in the entire fucking state our lawmakers pretty much hate everyone in this redneck state.

[SEEPRICE]

so this state of Montana official is saying that they wish to pass a law that says that document which is issued by the state of HI and accepted by the federal government is not going to be acceptable by Montana.

I do think that is going to fly with the federal courts.

Its like saying that Montana will not issue a drivers license to anyone who was born in HI unless they have a long form BC... which HI no longer issues

[billthecat666]

I'm glad he brought up what Montana considers a birth certificate.

Hawaii says a COLB is a standard issue birth certificate. According to the Constitution, the Full Faith and Credit Clause says other states are required to accept a document produced by another state.

[supermandarrel]

God I can't stand these morons. FACT: He was born in the US. Get over it already.

[astraia1x]

LOL, are you watching the expressions on cooper's face when wagner goes on his "natural born" definition? clearly, wagner never read the US Constitution.

[astraia1x]

boehner: "it's not my job to tell the American people what to think"

then STOP all legislative attempts to further restrict access to abortion, because it's not your job to tell women what to think or do. the rethugs are going so far as to claim that the tax-exempt money from FSA accounts that women use to fully pay for abortion equates to a government "subsidy"? if that happens, then i want every religious organization's tax-exempt status immediately revoked b/c that too is a gov't subsidy

[astraia1x]

@astraia1x

sorry, my comment went off on an unrelated tangent, but that lame statement by boehner has me seething mad. what a piss poor attempt by boehner to put this birther crap to rest. boehner had the chance and he refused to take it. he's a loser.

[MsTheBow]

I don"t think Anderson "owned" him at all. Anderson should have exposed that idiot racist for what he really is...disgusting! I was hoping for Anderson to get as angry as I feel about this!

[Brax115]

Fact: John McCain was born in Panama. Look it up.

[wickedenchanter]

There are two kinds of birthers--idiots and liars. Most of the politicians and wing-nut media people are actually smart enough to know what a crock this birther BS is, but they persist in telling the lies in order to rile the idiots who believe them.

[gotrottin]

Is this sad or funny?

[Hereticbooks]

Damn! Even though we have 2 democratic senators and a democratic governor, NOW I am embarassed to be a montanan.

[Voodooray007]

Lets be real folks. They (Republicans) start this "birth certificate" shit cause a bi-racial man in office and not a white person with a (R) next to their name is not. They first blame ACORN for letting minorities to vote and look what to ACORN now. Lied about some pimp in that story and ACORN is no more. And now some of the dumbass states (AZ is in it and I live in it.) making some crock of shit "birther" bill into law.

[Voodooray007]

(cont) Making sure that any minority or a person that has a (D) next to their name is not born in America.

[PatriotInChief]

@Voodooray007 a certification of live birth is from the state health department, whereas a birth certificate is from a hospital. they are not the same thing.

[Brax115]

@PatriotInChief So? it's the same information. If you were a patriot you would be wanting your gov't to spend its time doing something that would actually help the county somehow, instead you support them wasting their time and allowing all the toxic policies in place to continue to harm us. You are a terrible American if you think our resources should go to trying to pass nonsense legislation like this.

[tgear77]

@PatriotInChief The Birth Certificate is filled out at the hospital. It then goes to the county of birth's registrar's office where it is filed as a state document. From there the parents receive a short form copy of the BC, in some states (not just Hawaii) called a COLB. Parents do not get a copy of the long form unless they specifically request one and even then, what they get is a state document. There is no difference.

[MultiUniv3rsal]

Truth doesn't matter to these people. Only getting their way.

[zippyman818]

Mr. Wagner's district includes Harrison, MT. 97% white, Catholic, Mormon and otherwise near average demographics for Montana.

I sent him a nice email last night.

He exhibits abject ignorance of the Constitution, specifically the 14th Amendment.

[Bear5177]

So, live birth cert's are good enough for a passport office, that is, the federal fucking government, yet it's not good enough for other things? WTF! How are these morons managing to remind themselves to breathe?

[psyphi79]

"Holes in "Birther Bill" ". Assholes is more like it. wow

[rickbar123]

Assholes, America is full of them.

[whiteliberal1]

"I'm not really qualified to say whether he (President Obama) is or not."

He sure as hell considered himself qualified to peddle his goofy dust!

This guy should be collecting 4 tickets to ride on bumper cars @ a local carnival. Really, it doesn't take much these days to win an election. I'm sure the smart people of Montana are facetiously saying, "thank you, fellow citizens, for voting for this clown!"
