AFTER BIRTHERISM
Powerline ^ | 23 Oct 2024 | Lloyd Billingsley

Burgerism is the new birtherism,” proclaims the Telegraph, a lame quip now making the rounds. Burgerism is Trump’s part-time gig at McDonald’s, as John notes, now drawing pushback from Democrats. On the other hand, “birtherism” might prompt people to wonder, like Martha (Elizabeth Taylor) in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf, “what’s that from?”

Back in 2008, a Hillary Clinton staffer circulated a rumor that rival candidate Sen. Barack Obama was born in Kenya, and therefore ineligible to be president. This spawned the charge of “birtherism,” which was also a dodge. The key issue wasn’t his place of birth but the identity of the father. Dreams from My Father claims the father is the Kenyan Barack Obama, once a student at the University of Hawaii. But there’s a problem. The Dreams author was born in 1961, and in his writings from 1958 to 1964, now housed at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in New York, the Kenyan Barack Obama makes not a single mention of an American wife and Hawaiian-born son.

As David Garrow clarified in Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama, Dreams from My Father is a novel and the author a composite character. As Tablet’s David Samuels explains, “there was something about this fictional character actually becoming president that helped precipitate the disaster that we are living through now.” If anybody thought that disaster would continue under Kamala Harris, it would be hard to blame them.

KEYWORDS:
That the American people elected the feckless communist Obama - twice! - is very discouraging. Of course he was sold to most of the people by the MSM as The Magic Negro (Rush's words, but originally from the LA Times I believe). And the MSM continued to cover for him for eight years. We are still feeling the effects of those eight years ... and will for some time to come I fear.

Well, that is peculiar. However, I don’t see that as proof in and of itself.
