Poor Liberals, still have no clue.

 

Maybe she just assumed a guy with a name like>

Barack Hussein Obama and who went to school in Indonesia and studied the Koran and indoctrinated in Islam, has a best friend in Valerie Jarret who is Iranian, and father and brother who was in the Muslim Brotherhood.

I guess she just assumed he was Muslim.

IF that's true that's pretty funny.

HRC was the first one I remember.

[cammando]

Hillary also started the whole birther thing...

[Clyde]

Remember, though, if @uk#1fan was the first to offer nonsense and you repeat it that's on you.

[All Tell]

I just want to see the righteous indignation that's being laid on Republicans laid on Hillary, especially after Hillary condemned Trump for not defending Obama.

Nothing is worse than your nonsense.

False. Most democrats that I talk to knows Hillary was the first to create all of the Obama slander. She started the birthed movement also.

 

I thought everyone knew this already.

I didn't but then again I didn't pay too much attention to the democratic primaries in 2007/2008.

 

Could make for some interesting debates down the road should the topic come up.

It's one of the reasons I loathe Hillary.

No Hillary did not start the birther movement.

 

It was started by a man named Andy Martin. The most persistent falsehood about Senator Barack Obama’s background first hit in 2004 just two weeks after the Democratic convention speech that helped set him on the path to his presidential candidacy: “Obama is a Muslim who has concealed his religion.” That statement, contained in a press release, spun a complex tale about the ancestry of Mr. Obama, who is Christian. The press release was picked up by a conservative Web site, FreeRepublic.com, and spread steadily as others elaborated on its claims over the years in e-mail messages, Web sites and books. It continues to drive other false rumors about Mr. Obama’s background.

 

He is a law school graduate, but his admission to the Illinois bar was blocked in the 1970s after a psychiatric finding of “moderately severe character defect manifested by well-documented ideation with a paranoid flavor and a grandiose character.”

 

Though he is not a lawyer, Mr. Martin went on to become a prodigious filer of lawsuits, and he made unsuccessful attempts to win public office for both parties in three states, as well as for president at least twice, in 1988 and 2000. Based in Chicago, he now identifies himself as a writer who focuses on his anti-Obama Web site and press releases.

 

Mr. Martin, in a series of interviews, did not dispute his influence in Obama rumors.

 

“Everybody uses my research as a takeoff point,” Mr. Martin said, adding, however, that some take his writings “and exaggerate them to suit their own fantasies.”

Hillary made it mainstream.

Hillary made it mainstream.

 

Totally fair cop. That's where most of the US population first heard it.

I say All Tell was the original originator of it. His M.O.
