It’s been talked about LONG before the election. Only it was McCain they were talking about. He likely isn’t an NBC either as he was not born on out soil. That was Senate resolution 511 I believe. But then it was the Democrats who were the birthers.
No, it wasn't. The first Birther I've found who made the 'natural born citizenship requires TWO citizen parents' argument was Leo Donofrio, in early November 2008. That particular argument was simply was NOT advanced earlier in the campaign. And it didn't make its way to FreeRepublic until mid-to-late November, after the election was over.
If it had been around earlier, you'd be linking to examples. But you're not. Instead, you just claim that it was being talked about, with no evidence whatsoever.
It's not like I haven't looked, either. I've tried at length to find any earlier appearances, but they simply aren't there. Phil Berg's lawsuit from August 2008 doesn't include the claim. None of the WND stories before November 2008 even reference the claim. There was no discussion of the argument on FreeRepublic or AtlasShrugs or TexasDarlin or NoQuarter prior to November 2008. Even Leo's own original litigation papers from October 2008 don't make that particular argument.
And considering that Obama had been running for President since February 2007, the fact that nobody claimed his father's citizenship was, by itself, a disqualification until November 2008 shows just how baseless the claim is, and how late in the process it was invented.
