Yes indeed - it's wag the dog to get the story away from her PD medical collapses. They were told to go out and scream that that he's a racist, and to use the birther thing as an excuse.
Then he punked them, which enraged them because it screwed up their plan. So Hillary, who's behind it all, ordered them to start screaming anyway - so they are, while looking like idiots. But Hillary doesn't care. She just needs something to take her health off of the news cycle.
She owns the MSM. They are her craven slaves.
Hillary loves Socialism; it means more government, less freedom and a hop-skip-and-a-jump from Communism.
