Clinton: It's 'Ludicrous' to Suggest I'm Behind Birther Claims
NBCNews ^ | by Carrie Dann and Mark Murray

Posted on 09/23/2015 8:17:27 AM PDT by Responsibility2nd

Hillary Clinton is blasting Donald Trump's "ludicrous" claim that she was the first to question President Barack Obama's birthplace.

"First of all, it's totally untrue. And secondly, you know, the president and I have never had any kind of confrontation like that," she said in an interview on the Tom Joyner Morning Show.

"That is so ludicrous," she told interviewer Don Lemon, who asked her about Trump's assertion that Clinton's 2008 campaign sparked the "birther movement."

During the bitter 2008 Democratic primary campaign, rumors raged that Clinton supporters were swapping email chains raising questions about Obama's heritage. A photo of Obama dressed in Somali garb was circulated to the Drudge Report, sparking suspicion that it was leaked by Clinton operatives.

Also, in 2007, then-Clinton adviser Mark Penn suggested in an internal campaign memo that the Clinton team highlight Barack Obama's "otherness."

I think that the DiC and his beard hate the CLintons and are doing everything they can to sabotage her run. I wouldn’t be surprised if Bill also has a hand in the leaks and miscues. He doesn’t want her to outshine him

Birther row began with Hillary Clinton

The lie that Barack Obama was not born in the US has been fuelled by fringe Republicans — but supporters of Hillary Clinton, now Mr Obama’s Secretary of State, are largely to blame for starting it.

Hillary Clinton has worn the traditional clothing of countries she has visited and had those photos published widely."

Yes, those pictures would have to be wide.

It’s an art piece. Titled “The Hole House”, it was a temporary art object created from a soon-to-be demolished house.

Ah, OK. Now it makes sense, because I couldn’t believe it was an accident. Thanks.

I believe that you are absolutely correct. Why would Obama lie about being born in Kenya? It’s not like it’s better than being born in Hawaii.

Even his cover story of being born in Hawaii is fraught with problems. Remember when they couldn’t figure out which one of two Honolulu hospitals he was born in because both of them had been reported in different articles?

The way Hillary got into the story, in my opinion, was to blackmail Obama into dropping out of the race so she could be crowned as Empress Cankles. It turned out that charges of racism proved more powerful than her blackmail attempts. Hubby Bill slyly questioned Obama’s qualifications to be president twice while answering racism charges, in fact.
