Patti Solis Doyle, who was Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager in 2008 until the Iowa caucuses, admitted on Friday that a Clinton campaign staffer had, in fact, circulated the Birther conspiracy theory that Barack Obama was born outside the U.S.
Continue reading. The staffer that forwarded the email was fired and Clinton or her campaign manager reached out to apologize to Obama/his campaign, an apology that was accepted.

Blitzer: Someone supporting Hillary Clinton was trying to promote this so-called Birther issue? What happened?
Doyle: So we — absolutely, the campaign nor Hillary did not start the Birther movement, period, end of story there. There was a volunteer coordinator, I believe, in late 2007, I believe, in December, one of our volunteer coordinators in one of the counties in Iowa — I don’t recall whether they were an actual paid staffer, but they did forward an email that promoted the conspiracy.
Blitzer: The Birther conspiracy?
Doyle: Yeah, Hillary made the decision immediately to let that person go. We let that person go. And it was so, beyond the pale, Wolf, and so not worthy of the kind of campaign that certainly Hillary wanted to run.
Doyle went on to relate how she personally called Obama campaign manager David Plouffe to apologize, and he accepted. Blitzer then asked her about the Mark Penn memorandum, in which the campaign’s strategist proposed exploiting Obama’s “lack of American roots.” Doyle asserted, and Blitzer agreed, that the memo had nothing to do with Birtherism.

His mom was a US citizen, he could have been born in Timbuktu and would still be a citizen. They probably didn't want to make this argument because then THEY would say - so he was born in Kenya - blah blah blah.

You think you can read minds do ya? Well, let's try this:

Ask yourself why Hillary Clinton tweeted the following about the Birther issue:

"Can a Muslim be President of the United States of America? In a word: Yes. Now let's move on."

What say you?????

Why the photo was circulated is not the question here, the question is whether Hillary started circulating it, and the answer is NO.

Something else that I was reminded of by something I read, is that, Obama wrote a book once upon a time and somewhere in the book, ok, it was in the bio, that it claimed he was born in Kenya. And now anyone who repeats it is somehow a racist or something? What crap.

Somewhere on the inside of a book flap Obama say's he was born in Kenya and nobody but you caught it? And you never said anything about it? You never called Joe Arpaio? You never collected the huge reward Trump was offering? Not one of the millions upon millions of birthers caught it but you?

I quote you, verbatum. " What crap."

In 2008, the Clinton campaign circulated the picture below showing Obama in traditional African garb. They sent this picture out to make Obama appear non-American and like he was born in Africa.

Barack Obama says Hillary Clinton leaked Somali photo - NY Daily News

The truth cannot be denied any longer. Hillary Clinton started the birther movement.

Obama's campaign clearly recognized this in 2008.



She was divisive then. She is divisive now. Low brow smear campaigns is all Hillary Clinton knows.
The above is a blatant, out right lie.

Amazing. Just amazing.

No, she did not. Obviously you did not follow the birther insanity online or you would know that she very wisely avoided it like the plague.
