Tom Tancredo: Obama Withheld Birth Certificate To Make Republicans Look 'Nuts'
one might think that the release of President Obama's long-form birth certificate would humble the birther and radio host.
Not so much. In fact, Tancredo took the opportunity to gloat about his own prescience.
He issued a press release reminding readers of his comments a year ago on Alan Colmes' radio show regarding the birther controversy. Shortly after saying he had "absolutely no idea where [Obama] was born," Tancredo made these remarks about the whole fracas:
TANCREDO: Now they very well not want to show it because they want to propagate this whole thing that's going on about birthers. ... They may be doing it for that reason; I don't know why they don't want anyone to see it. ... They want it propagated because you know -
COLMES: It makes your party look nuts!
TANCREDO: Yeah well maybe that's why they don't produce document, I don't know.
He repeated that claim in the statement issued Friday. "Obama has followed Mohammed--not the religious leader, but the boxer. President Obama has pulled off the perfect Mohammed Ali rope-a-dope," he said in the release, according to the Colorado Independent.
The idea, according to Tancredo, is that Obama withheld his birth certificate until now simply for the purpose of making Republicans look foolish. And the analogy to Ali seems to suggest a begrudging admiration of the strategy.
