Tampa Bay Experience’s Dan York Concedes

Posted by Cody Larson On July - 24 - 2009



Cody Larson vs Dan YorkIt is not too often that a talk radio show host will concede to anyone whether it be a caller or a topic of discussion. However, today that was just simply not the case. Dan York, host of The Tampa Bay Experience on 820 AM WWBA, actually conceded to a caller today. Just who that caller was, is what is going to give you a chuckle. Yours truly, was the one York conceded to.

Dan made comments concerning President Barrack Obama and the controversy concerning whether or not he is truly an American citizen born in the United States. (DISCLAIMER: I don’t believe one way or the other about the birth certificate issue, the “facts” from both sides make my head explode.) His claim was that if and when Barrack Obama serves out his term(s) and it happens to come out that he was in fact born in Kenya, he would not care.

I don’t usually do this, but such comments prompted me to actually pay attention and memorize the call-in line to discuss the issue at hand with Mr. York. I got through and spoke briefly with the young radio host. Prior to me calling, Dan said that the prerequisite stating Presidential candidates must be born in the US, was ready to be removed. He was of the belief that anyone that is here long enough and serves their country, must not be held back by where they are born. It was this stated belief, that was used to form his opinion on a possible Obama deception. So, I called him on it.

I see where he was coming from with his view of the current law prohibiting non-US born citizens from running, although I disagree. My point was that even though he disagrees with the law as it is now, he cannot just give Barrack Obama any such pass. Obama was sworn in under the law as it is now and if it does turn out that he is not native to the US, he has essentially lied to us all with malicious intent. He would have purposefully duped the entire United States. It was this point that pried those words rarely heard from a show host of any kind, “I concede.”

NOTE: I have nothing against Dan York, his words or his show. He is an excellent host and I actually consider myself to be a fan of his. I really appreciate a guy that will have a fair conversation with someone and admit to who may have the better point.
