Sen. Graham Calls Beck 'A Cynic' And Birthers 'Crazy' (Hat tip to Adam @greylurk for the link)

You will rarely hear me say a good word about Senator Lindsey Graham because as a general rule I don't think he's a very principled person. I've watched him do and say some pretty stupid things over his career.

Today, though, I agree with him.

"Only in America can you make that much money crying," Graham said of Beck. "Glenn Beck is not aligned with any party. He is aligned with cynicism and there has always been a market for cynics. But we became a great nation not because we are a nation of cynics. We became a great nation because we are a nation of believers."

Nice. I'm glad that he sees that Glenn Beck is ridiculous and explicitly trying to distance him from the Republican party. Well played, sir.

That's not even the best one though. He also had blunt words for the Birthers!

The Senator called the birther community that questions the president's U.S. citizenship "crazy" and implored them to "knock this crap off" so the country could get on to more important matters.

"I'm here to tell you that those who think the president was not born in Hawaii are crazy," said Graham, who went on to dispel another myth: that Obama is a closet Muslim.
