At one time it was possible to find myriad articles in many publications referring to him as the African-born senator from Illinois.
It doesn’t prove that he was born in Africa, but it proves that it served his interest for people to think he was born in Africa, it made him seem exotic and interesting.
Later, when he ran for president, all that had to be scrubbed. From that moment on, if you believed he was African-born, you were the nut.

Exactly!

That's because he actually did lie about being born in Kenya. The facts show that he is a red-diaper baby born in Honolulu to Stanley Ann "Anarchist Annie" Dunham and Barack Hussein Obama, a visitor from Kenya with African nationalist ambitions, who was studying at the U of Hawaii on a student visa.
The nuts you mention, whom we now call "birthers", were those who believe he actually was born in Kenya, and that that magically means his presidency can be deleted from history, 67 senators not being necessary, just gotta find the right judge, LOL!
