He missed the real origin. It started about six months earlier when the left went after McCain on his NBC status due to his Canal Zone birth. In reporting on this, the NYT listed all the documents that the candidates released and because of the note that Zero hadn’t released any records, that triggered Starr to start her digging which rolled up to Berg and the rest is history.

Yep, it was Hillary's campaign that birthed the birthers and BamKennedy took Hillary to task for this at his prayer breakfast....
And I keep hearing to question where is the record of your pedigree BamKennedy makes one a kook.... I like my tin foil heavy duty, thank you very much.

The persistence of this much-debunked rumor
At best, it's marginally debunked. We know more about the birth of Spartacus than we know about the birth of Obama. And we don't know anything about the birth of Spartacus.

Berg also had been a Clinton supporter, but he was best-known as a former deputy attorney general of Pennsylvania and a serial unsuccessful Democratic campaigner for statewide office. He also had a reputation as an enthusiastic litigant: In 2004, he filed a 9/11 Truther lawsuit against Bush, alleging that the government allowed the terrorist attacks to happen and that the World Trade Center was destroyed from within. Now he had a new conspiracy to push.The birther/truther connection.
The high-profile resurgence of the Birther claims on cable television provoked much self-satisfaction from liberals as the latest evidence of the influence of wingnuts on conservative politics.
No one enjoys birther vocalism more than the left.
If team Clinton couldn't pin him on this, what makes anyone on the right think they can?

In my mind’s eye I cansee the meeting:
Hillary produces proof 0bama was born in Kenya.
Obama shows Hillary proof of a fraction of her felonies.
What’s the worst that could have happened to 0bama?
He declares that he was always told he was born in Hawaii, and had never been informed of the true circumstances of his birth, apologizes, and then he gracefully steps down and goes back to being a senator.
What’s the worst that could still happen to Hillary!™?
If 1/10th of the rumors are true, She’d be facing being stripped of all her congressional perks, serious jail time and perhaps even the death penalty.
In this show-down, guess who blinks...

Oooops. #10 should have been addressed to you.

Hillary?
Gosh, I would have guessed the “secret origin” of the “birthers” would have been “racism”.

Hillary also started the “Truthers” when she held up a newspaper proclaiming “BUSH KNEW”.
It was the Clinton's that started the crap that Bush stole the election of 2000.
Hillary also started the debate on illegal aliens.
IIRC it was Hillary that started the crap with Katrina.
White supremest wanting to overthrow the govt., black churches being burned, racial profiling, Y2K, the list goes on and on.
Fact is, you would be hard pressed to find a single “ORCHESTRATED” news story from 1991/92 to the present that the Clinton's aren't behind.

Interesting moniker.
The secret history being withheld from Americans is that of our president: inadequate proof of birth; inadequate or nonexistent public record of college transcripts; inadequate draft registration record; inadequate passport information. America has elected a man without a past to lead us into the immediate future. Amazing.

Not now. But that was originally written before the primaries were over.
