Now that he has come out and said (accurately) that President Obama is American-born, our corrupt media is still in a partisan frenzy to ensure Donald Trump answers for his Birtherism. At the same time, this very same media is just as desperate to ensure Hillary Clinton never answers for her role in inventing Birtherism. In order to accomplish this, the media is doing what it does best: lying and covering up.
The media's lie is so grandiose and absurd, you have to laugh. Despite all the evidence and contemporaneous reporting (see below) that proves without question that, during their bitter 2007-2008 contest for the Democrat presidential nomination, Hillary and her campaign did everything in their power to portray Barack Obama as a foreign-born Muslim, today the media is willing to stand in front of the elephant and indignantly ask, "Elephant, what elephant?"
In order to justify this audacious lie, the media engages in a transparently desperate act of hyper-literalism. Through the anti-science art of defining the definition of "Birtherism" down to meaning only the questioning of Barack Obama's place of birth, they seem to believe they can hide the elephant.
Yes, in order to shield Hillary, America's entire political media, thousands of so-called independent journalists across dozens of "competing" news outlets, are coordinating to remove the definitions of Birtherism that Hillary is clearly guilty of. This includes, smearing Obama as a Muslim, her campaign's stated goal of questioning his "lack of American roots," her focusing on Obama's exotic "foreignness"; and yes, the questioning of Obama's place of birth.
For social media purposes, let me arm you with the facts. And your job now is to not just use whatever means are at your disposal to disseminate these facts, you should also use these facts to challenge our corrupt media and ask them (politely) why they are letting Hillary off the hook.
Here are 11 things our corrupt media does not want the public to know about Hillary Clinton's role in inventing Birtherism. Please note that all of my sources are mainstream media sources.
1. Birtherism was Birthed In a Hillary Clinton Campaign Memo
In 2007, a full year before anyone would know the name Orly Taitz, Hillary's chief campaign strategist Mark Penn would craft a wide-ranging strategy memo that included questioning the very American-ness of then-Senator Barack Obama, who was even then seen as Hillary's chief rival for the nomination.
The Atlantic:
[Penn] wrote, “I cannot imagine America electing a president during a time of war who is not at his center fundamentally American in his thinking and in his values.” Penn proposed targeting Obama’s “lack of American roots.”
From Bloomberg's 2012 article: "The Democratic Roots of the Birther Movement"
Penn also suggested how the campaign might take advantage of this. “Every speech should contain the line that you were born in the middle of America to the middle class in the middle of the last century,” he advised Clinton. “And talk about the basic bargain as about [sic] the deeply American values you grew up with, learned as a child, and that drive you today.” He went on: “Let’s explicitly own ‘American’ in our programs, the speeches and the values. He doesn’t … Let’s add flag symbols to the backgrounds [of campaign events].”
2. Hillary's Hardcore Supporters First Raised the Question of Obama's Birth
As the contest between Obama and Hillary became increasingly ugly, it was Hillary's hardcore supporters who first raised doubts about the origins of Obama's birth. Hillary gave her blessing through her silence. It wouldn’t take long, though, before her campaign became directly involved.
Politico:
That theory first emerged in the spring of 2008, as Clinton supporters circulated an anonymous email questioning Obama’s citizenship.
“Barack Obama’s mother was living in Kenya with his Arab-African father late in her pregnancy. She was not allowed to travel by plane then, so Barack Obama was born there and his mother then took him to Hawaii to register his birth,” asserted one chain email that surfaced on the urban legend site Snopes.com in April 2008.
The Daily Telegraph's 2011 article: "The Birther Row Began With Hillary":
It was not until April 2008, at the height of the intensely bitter Democratic presidential primary process, that the touch paper was properly lit.
An anonymous email circulated by supporters of Mrs. Clinton, Mr Obama’s main rival for the party’s nomination, thrust a new allegation into the national spotlight — that he had not been born in Hawaii.
3. Hillary Clinton's Own Campaign Distributes Obama-Is-A-Scary-Muslim Emails
PolitiFact:
In the fall of 2007, it was clear that Clinton was losing ground in Iowa. The presumptive front runner was vulnerable and people in the campaign knew it. On Dec. 5, 2007, the online magazine Politico posted the text of an email that had been forwarded by Judy Rose, the volunteer chair of the Clinton campaign in Jones County Iowa on Nov. 21, 2007. The email was a quintessential smear that offered a distorted biography of Obama’s early years. Rose offered no commentary on it. She simply passed it along.
"Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim," the email said, and it ended with, "The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the U.S. from the inside out, what better way to start than at the highest level - through the President of the United States , one of their own!!!!"
4. Judy Rose Was Not Fired Until AFTER the Media Discovered Her Email
PolitiFact:
The public airing of the email brought a quick reaction from the Clinton campaign. On Dec. 6, 2007, the Associated Press reported that Rose had resigned as chair of her county committee.
5. A Second Hillary Campaign Staffer Sent a Similar Email
PolitiFact:
A few days later, a second volunteer in a different county stepped down when it was learned that she had forwarded a similar email in October.
6. Obama Privately Confronted Hillary Over Her Birtherism
This is such a juicy story.
PolitiFact:
The episode in Iowa fueled a testy exchange between Obama and Clinton on the tarmac of Reagan National Airport in December 2007. According to accounts from people who were there, Obama complained about the emails and Clinton boiled over in anger.
When asked about Clinton and the Obama-Muslim myth, Josh Schwerin, a spokesman for the Clinton’s current campaign, told us "Clinton never pushed that."
7. The Obama Campaign Blasted Clinton Over the Obama-In-A-Turban Photo
You all remember this photo, correct? No less than Barack Obama believes it was Hillary who released it.
The Guardian:
Obama’s campaign manager, David Plouffe, described it as “the most shameful, offensive fear-mongering we’ve seen from either party in this election”. Obama has had to spend much of the campaign stressing he is a Christian not a Muslim and did not study at a madrassa. …
Plouffe described circulation of the picture as part of “a disturbing pattern.” “It’s exactly the kind of divisive politics that turns away Americans of all parties,” he said.
It gets better…
8. The Clinton Campaign Pretty Much Admits They Released the Photo
Slate:
Then, at 10:54 a.m., Clinton’s campaign manager, Maggie Williams, pierced the quiet with her own release. “Enough,” she wrote. “If Barack Obama’s campaign wants to suggest that a photo of him wearing traditional Somali clothing is divisive, they should be ashamed. Hillary Clinton has worn the traditional clothing of countries she has visited and had those photos published widely.” She goes on to say Obama is trying to “distract from the serious issues.” Note that they never refuted Drudge’s piece. (More detail on that piece of the story is trickling in .)
Let’s take a moment to review: Obama’s campaign thinks Clinton is trying to be divisive by encouraging the Obama-is-a-Muslim myth. Clinton’s campaign thinks the Obama campaign is being divisive because it thinks Clinton’s campaign is being divisive.
9. In 2007, Chris Matthews BLASTED Hillary Over Birtherism
Forgive the craziness at the end of this video, it was the only clip I could find, and it perfectly illustrates Hillary's desperate quest to "other" Obama as a scary, un-American Muslim:
10. Hillary's Nasty "As Far As I Know" On "60 Minutes"
When asked about her and her supporter's role in the Birther movement, Hillary told "60 Minutes" that Obama is not a Muslim "as far as I know."
This clip is amazing.
11. Joe Scarborough and John Heilemann Agree Hillary Invented Birtherism
What more does anyone need?
And let me reiterate again that not a single one of my sources is anything other than a mainstream media news outlet.
Hillary is guilty as hell; she is without question The Godmother of Birtherism.
And our media is without question a left-wing pack of degenerate liars and cover-up artists.

Hard to read an article when the very first sentence is unsubstantiated bs. Obama born in the US? Prove it Nolte, I dare you.

Actually, the original inventor of birtherism is none other than Ovomit himself.... Here is the exact quote in the 1991 bio…. “Barack Obama, the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review, was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.” If Obama himself says he was born in Kenya, tell me anyone should believe he was born in America? And if wants to claim that someone else wrote this biosketch, I say bull cookies.... I’ve hung around lots of people who are published including myself and I’ve never heard of anyone letting someone else create a biosketch for him/her out of whole cloth.... and certainly not without proofing it. Why has the media never asked Ovomit to address this question of how it came about that his biosketch says what it does?
“Hard to read an article when the very first sentence is unsubstantiated bs. Obama born in the US? Prove it Nolte, I dare you.”
He is just repeating what Trump said this week. I wish he had just ignored the entire mess.
The media is never going to ask Obama about anything of value.
“Actually, the original inventor of birtherism is none other than Ovomit himself.... Here is the exact quote in the 1991 bio…. “Barack Obama, the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review, was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.” “
To answer your question about that, this is how they do it...
“In 2012, Breitbart.com published a copy of a promotional booklet that Obama’s literary agency, Acton & Dystel, printed in 1991 (and later posted to their website, in a biography in place until April 2007) which misidentified Obama’s birthplace and states that Obama was “born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.” When this was posted by Breitbart, the booklet’s editor said that this incorrect information had been her mistake, not based on anything provided to her agency by Obama.[36]”

True.... but they are going to continue to badger Trump and this should be part of his response......
Birtherism: Where it all began

A brief history of birtherism
Birtherism is the latest and most enduring version of a theory in search of facts.
The original smear against Obama was that he was a crypto-Muslim, floated in 2004 by perennial Illinois political candidate and serial litigant Andy Martin. Other related versions of this theory alleged that Obama was educated in an Indonesian “madrassa” or steeped in Islamist ideology from a young age, and the theories began to spread virally after Obama appeared on the national stage – to the casual observer, from nowhere – with his early 2007 presidential campaign announcement. (See: Obama kin: Birther rumors ‘a shame’)
All through that year, the Obama campaign – with the affirmation of most leaders of both parties – aggressively battled that smear by emphasizing his Christian faith. Obama’s controversial but emphatically Christian pastor emerged as a campaign issue and the belief that he was a Muslim seemed to lose traction. (See: Clinton: Birther claims ‘ludicrous’)
Then, as Obama marched toward the presidency, a new suggestion emerged: That he was not eligible to serve. (See: Birther debate alive across U.S.)
That theory first emerged in the spring of 2008, as Clinton supporters circulated an anonymous email questioning Obama’s citizenship.
“Barack Obama’s mother was living in Kenya with his Arab-African father late in her pregnancy. She was not allowed to travel by plane then, so Barack Obama was born there and his mother then took him to Hawaii to register his birth,” asserted one chain email that surfaced on the urban legend site Snopes.com in April 2008.

When you get to the bottom keep pushing to more, there is a gold mine in this story...
This behavior of accusing people of the odious things that the accuser himself does is psychological projection. Why do we see such psychological projection from these lib/commie elites? I believe that the positions and action of lobbies such as Hillary are so revolting and foul that even they cannot stand it; therefore, they deflect their awful behaviors and characteristics onto their opponents. Some of it may instead be the Josef Goebbels propaganda technique of turnspeak, but I think a lot of it is psychological projection for Hitlery and other neo Commies to deal with the horrible things they do and say every day.
I'm fully aware of what the 'editor' said.... and since that doesn't pass any kind of smell test, it's blatantly a lie. However, let's assume it was actually true.... that casts Obama into an entirely different light. If true, he would basically be in an incredibly elite group.... someone who wants to be published and leaves it totally up to someone else to publish without seeking confirmation, the biosketch. That is even less likely than a wedding announcement showing up in a newspaper where the couple and their family had no input with the wording and weren't asked to check it before it was published. Impossible!
IMHO ‘the birther thing’ started with Obama attempting to get cred with the Chicago black community - or maybe earlier with a college move a la ‘Fauxcahontas’ - - Elizabeth Warren...
His grandma says he was born in Kenya, that she was there to witness it. Dont recall obama saying her account was untrue.

“Birtherism” is the greatest Alinsky ever perpetrated.
They have gotten the American people to reject one of the most valuable safeguards bequeathed to us by the founders.
The natural born citizen clause served us well until we ignored it.
Barry Soetoro/Barack Hussein Obama should be proof enough of the wisdom of the founders when they tried to prevent him from being President by requiring someone who could only be a US citizen and nothing else.
Born here of citizen parents.
Naturally a US citizen because there is no other possibility.
One cannot be anything else and also be a natural born citizen.
Obama even told us on his website he was born a British subject.
Who believes Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Jay, Monroe, Madison, etc. would have found him to be a natural born citizen?
Trump had the podium, he should have listed some of the facts of how this started. The media is eating him alive this morning over this.
The Kenyanesian Usurpation was brought to you by BOTH parties.
The Constitution says natural born citizen.
That means one who is naturally an American because they couldn’t be anything else, born here of citizen parents.
Everyone in DC wanted that changed without the hassle of amending the Constitution.
The Senate passed a resolution declaring McCain a natural born citizen because he had TWO citizen parents, even though he was born in Panama.
Then Obama runs and wins based on just being born here, even though he told us on his website he was born a British subject.
So the standard went from born here of citizen parents to just TWO citizen parents to just being born here in one election cycle without amending the Constitution.
This was done intentionally because Rubio (no citizen parents), Cruz (foreign birth, one citizen parent), Jindal (no citizen parents), and Haley (no citizen parents) were all ineligible and the future of the GOP.
The truth of the Kenyanesian Usurpation will never see the light of day because they all cooperated in the violation of the Constitution.
