The Hillary Clinton campaign moved Saturday to further distance itself from the re-ignited controversy about President Obama’s birthplace and long-time Clinton confidant Sidney Blumenthal, saying neither Clinton nor the 2008 campaign “ever” questioned the president’s citizenship....
former McClatchy D.C. bureau chief James Asher tweeted that Blumenthal “told me in person” that Obama was born in Kenya. (emphasis added by Soflofreeper)

Hitlery started the rumors.
President-elect Trump finished the rumors.
sorry, all, I now see this was already posted. :(
H->! just can’t stop lying.
Good to see them stumbling about on defense.
Geez, Hillary and her henchmen stir up this “S*$*” then get stuck in the morass of excuses and deflections.
Actually it’s nice to see the Clintonistas on the defensive over this crap that they stir up in the first place.
Then why in the sam hill, did Hillary, when she returned to the campaign trail, devote major portions of her speech to this birther stuff, and blame Donald Trump for pushing it?? Why make this the major issue they wanted to push????
Hillary and her team of lackeys are struggling aren’t they?
Its funny!
MSM intended to take down Trump but birther blowback has forced Hillary on the defensive.
Schadenfreude and I’m loving it. Morons.
It does not matter where he was born if he is claiming a foreign national father. He is not a natural born citizen.
I knew this country was gone when the simple three word phrase, natural born citizen, was no longer understood by its clear meaning, born here of citizen parents.
Solely a US citizen with no possibilty of being anyting else.
No foreign birth
No foreign parent(s)
No foreign citizenship(s)
No foreign influence on the Presidency, the reason stated by John Jay in his letter to George Washington insisting on natural born citizen, not just citizen or native born citizen.
Hillary is stepping all over her message.
She has nothing to say to the country but blame Trump all the time.
Trump got stalled briefly in the polls but once people are aware its a non-issue, his surge will resume.
That is not true. Blumenthal told James Asher about yoga routines and Chelsea's wedding plans.
Blumenthal has a history of lying. He lied, right outside the courtroom, about the questions that he was asked before a grand jury. The jurors later called him in to explain himself.
You got to laugh.
Team Clinton set up a tar baby for the Donald.
He didn’t touch it and now they are stuck to it.
Trump’s response:
SHE LIES!!!!
That’s what I thought too. Romney and McCain rolled over. Good to see someone actually playing the game of politics and putting them on the defensive.
Don’t apologize!
Any accidental tourist/visitors curious about seeing the other side—the truth, as opposed to the omnipresent MSM—will be able to see us taking Clinton apart again.
And then may want to participate.
Anytime you draw Sid out of the shadowy gutters and into the open, it’s a win.
Team Clinton have lied so many times, they don’t know what they have lied about. They can’t keep their lies straight. They tell one lie to get out of another lie.
BJ got away with it because the media and pundits thought it was cute and expected from BJ. Hillary is not that smooth with her lies.
According to the LATimes December 03, 2007,
"rumors that Obama, well known to Chicagoans as a Christian, is actually a stealth Muslim, a "Manchurian candidate" who would take the presidential oath with his hand on the Koran.The rumors first surfaced during Obama's run for Senate but took off in a viral e-mail campaign in 2006. One e-mail called Obama "The Enemy Within." GOP strategist Ed Rogers also pointedly mentioned Obama's middle name, Hussein. In January, the Obama campaign was forced to denounce Fox News for repeating a false Insight magazine report that he had spent fours years in an Indonesian madrasa, an Islamic school.
Though CNN sent out a reporter who found that the school Obama had attended had nothing in common with the Pakistani incubators for jihadists, and though his campaign has set the record straight repeatedly, last week the Washington Post ran a front-page story about Obama's "Muslim ties."
Consider also, in November 7, 2006, incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton easily won a second term representing New York in the United States Senate, establishing her own political vita in preparation for seeking a run at the 2008 POTUS election. She had to be privy to whispers about Obama's potential as a competitive running mate. Hence, timing of this release:
FoxNews Jan 22, 2007: Hillary Clinton Drops Madrassa Bomb on Barack Obama
"JOHN GIBSON, HOST: The gloves are off: Hillary Clinton is reported to be already digging up the dirt on Barack Obama.The New York senator has reportedly outed Obama's madrassa past. That's right, the Clinton team is reported to have pulled out all the stops to reveal something Obama would rather you didn't know: that he was educated in a Muslim madrassa.
Not to mention several progressive media personalities confirmation remains on record:

Here's another link to Obama's greatest media admirer, Tingles:
Matthews: ". . .But didn‘t Hillary dump on Obama a few days ago for playing up his Indonesian roots? So, what is she up to here? Is she pushing how great he is for having been born in Indonesia, or what, or simply reminding everybody about his background, his Islamic background?
