Birtherism: Where it all began [Politico Admitted in 2011: Democrat Party]
Politico ^ | 4/22/11 | By BEN SMITH and BYRON TAU

Posted on 09/18/2015 7:38:46 PM PDT by SoFloFreeper

Just when it appeared that public interest was fading, celebrity developer Donald Trump has revived the theory that [B. Hussein Obama] was born overseas...

Where did this idea come from? Who started it? And is there a grain of truth there?

The answer lies in Democratic, not Republican politics, and in the bitter, exhausting spring of 2008. At the time, the Democratic presidential primary was slipping away from Hillary Clinton and some of her most passionate supporters grasped for something, anything that would deal a final reversal to Barack Obama.

.....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...

Ben and Byron go a bit overboard to defend B. Hussein Obama...but I find it interesting even they admit DEMON RATS began the notion.

Not mentioned by the "news" industry today.

Notice how Pollutico places the birther incident squarely on Trump's shoulders when it was an audience member who brought it up but they conveeeeeeniently absolve Hitlery of her role in giving birth to the birther movement by sloughing it off on her "passionate supporters".

Well done, Pollutico, well done. That's some world class jock strap carrying there.

CNN, today, was saying that Obama was definitely born in Hawaii because he DID finally provide his birth certificate....

If you remember, that certificate was found to have a type of font that wasn’t around in 1961...

Not only that, it had his mother’s race as “Caucasian” and his father’s race as “African”...

There is no race “African”...In 1961, the birth certificate would’ve read race of father being “Negroid”...

I remember my utter shock....when I downloaded the origianl Portable Document Formula File...PDF......and opened it in Adobe Illustrator.

The first thing that caused my Jaw to DROP to my desk....was the fact that it had been created in Dozens of Layers.;...some of which only had two or three letters of numbers. A SURE SIGN of a FAKE.

Obama knows that many MANY if us know it was a fraud...and he smiles knowing hes “PEEVED” us off!

I read that in the earlier response to my statement...I don’t know what the “layers” mean, but some really smart people do and they’ve said the document was an out and out fake...
Thanks...

I don’t see how whoever put that thing together did not realize that “African” is not a race and that back then, they would’ve used “Negroid”....

His birth certificate is on line. It looks like the print on the certificate is in several distinctly different, as if it were carefully patched together.

they were simple minded young dope smoking obama zombies who had no point of reference and were either too stoned or too naive to notice many of the fatal errors that “slipped into” their hideously flawed creation.

The hospital named.....was INCORRECT....

the list of mistales is so so long

That’s right...I remember that one also....
Why hasn’t someone like Cruz, Carson, Trump, or some of the few real conservatives pointed this out and got real LOUD about it????

It is a fake. But it isn’t the place of birth that is in question, but something else. The whole story is fishy.

Actually the real truth is that the baby daddy is Frank Marshall Davis and not Barack Obama Senior. That is not a secret to Barack II and that has been the big lie.

Yeah, and remember how Stanley Anne’s signature was from a completely different document? Not rasterized like the other signatures present. And how you could pick it up and move it around? Yeah, that.
