7 News Stories from 2008 that PROVE Hillary Started Obama ‘Birtherism’ – Media is LYING!

EXCERPTS

Penn Strategy Memo

Obama’s Somali Garb

In 2008, Maggie Williams, Clinton’s campaign manager at the time, had to issue a statement regarding allegations that a staffer had circulated a picture of Senator Obama wearing traditional ‘Somali garb.’

Clinton spokesman, Mo Elleithee, again couldn’t deny that anyone on Hillary’s staff had sent out the Somali clothing image, instead suggesting that it’d be impossible to determine with a staff of “over 700 people.”

In 2011, responding to a New York Times poll that suggested Republicans believed Obama was born overseas, Politico decided to do some digging on the origins of such an idea. They found that the entire concept started with the Clinton campaign in 2008, with supporters looking for any way they could to stop Obama from winning the nomination.

Not only does this Slate article from 2008 address the Somali dress issue, but it reminds readers that staffers for Hillary’s campaign had begun circulating rumors that Obama was actually a Muslim.

Clinton surrogate and former Senator Bob Kerrey took some heat during the 2008 campaign for calling Obama by his full name and following that up with suggestions that he is Muslim.

Even MSNBC Acknowledged That Birtherism Started With Clinton
