Bombshell: ‘Washington Post’ Confirms Hillary Clinton Started the Birther Movement

http://www.breitbart.com/

by John Nolte26 Sep 2015

New analysis from the Washington Post removes any doubt that the anti-Obama Birther movement was started in 2007 and 2008 by Hillary Clinton, her campaign, and her Democrat supporters.

As Breitbart News reported earlier this month, other left-wing media outlets, like Politico and the Guardian, had already traced the Birther movement back to Democrats and Ms. Clinton. Using his wayback machine on Wednesday, the Post‘s David Weigel took an in-depth look at the origins of the false rumors that President Obama is a practicing Muslim who was not born in a America. Weigel’s reporting contains the final pieces of a very disturbing puzzle.

What Weigel found and re-reported was astounding, details many of us had forgotten or never heard of, including a 2007 bombshell memo from the Clinton campaign’s chief strategist.

What the left-wing Weigel left out of his reporting was even more astounding, including a documented confrontation between Clinton and Obama over the Birther issue, and video of Hillary herself stoking doubt about Obama’s Christian faith.

Because the Washington Post‘s primary job is to protect Democrats, Weigel’s headline and conclusion are an objective lie. Despite the fact that what he uncovered (and chose to not cover) points directly to Ms. Clinton and her campaign, Weigel concludes she had nothing to do with the Birther movement.

Naturally, Weigel’s own facts support the exact opposite conclusion.

His research, however, is all that matters.

And then there is this from today:

Hillary Clinton started this, and now Mr. Trump is ending it...

Top-of-the-hour ABC news last hour mentioned that Trump said Hillary started the birther thing, then immediately said that there was no evidence she had.

I always thought the original birther was President Obama himself.

This is the bio President Obama gave to his literary agent back in 1991.

First Free Republic thread on Obama's birth certificate.

From a January 2011 refresher post of mine:


I decided that it's time for a short refresher on how this whole Obama birth certificate scandal began.

A poster on another thread asked "What is Politifact?"

My answer was:

Politifact is the political blog at the St. Petersburg Times in Florida.

Coincidentally, Politifact is the news organization that started the whole Obama birth certificate scandal.

From April 18, 2008: No Muhammed or Mohammed in Obama's name>

We have now searched every public record we can access and find nothing to support the notion that Obama has a second middle name of "Muhammed" or "Mohammed."

We have a copy of Obama's marriage certificate from the Cook County Bureau of Vital Statistics in Illinois.

We looked at Obama's driver's license record in the state of Illinois...

We searched property records for Obama...

We also found Obama's registration and disciplinary record with the Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission of the Supreme Court of Illinois.

We tried to obtain a copy of Obama's birth certificate, but his campaign would not release it and the state of Hawaii does not make such records public.

LOL

Chrissy Wissy in 2007 was questioning Hillary's backing of Barack Hussein Obama.

Remember when MSM demanded that we were not allowed to say “Hussein”?

This is why I started this thread, I knew what the MSM was trying to do, they started it on twitter and the people on there were not taking their crap, and shoving it back in their faces, and I knew it would just be a matter of minutes before the rest of the MSM would be on every link and I was right:

And I want to thank all of you FREEPERS for a good job...we build files and have them handy when the MSM tried to hurt our Candidate, we throw their words back in their faces...they do not ‘fact check’ but we do because we know what the facts are and we are not afraid to put them out there...

FREEPERS ARE THE GREATEST!!!

Here is the start of the Obama Birther controversy;

Here is from Mark Penn, Clinton Campaign 2008:

Penn Strategy Memo, March 19, 2007: More than anything else, this memo captures the full essence of Mark Penn’s campaign strategy—its brilliance and its breathtaking attacks. Penn identified with impressive specificity the very coalition of women and blue-collar workers that Clinton ended up winning a year later. But he also called Obama “unelectable except perhaps against Attila the Hun,” and 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.”

"NOW the MSM is trying to say that the Obama birther movement wasn't Hillary..."

It doesn't matter. It's the old joke about NOT THINKING ABOUT A PINK ELEPHANT.

Once it is said that is all you can think about.

Trump is the Master.

Whether you like him or not TRUMP is playing the media like Charlie Daniels plays his Fiddle... Very fast and very well.
