Kinda like the white supremist volunteer for the Trump campaign. I didn't hold Trump responsible for him and I don't hold Hilary responsible for this guy.
And the Libs make sure Trump has to publicly disavow any low lifes that publicly support him. Why didn't Hillary's campaign publicly disavow the guy that started the birther nonsense? Could it be that they were still in a campaign to win the primary? Obama should have insisted that they publicly disavow the volunteer. But he didn't and Hillary rode the birther movement by staying silent, even though she privately apologized to Obama.

Agree! There are too many important issues and the Presidency is too powerful an office for this to be an issue 5+ years after Obama released his full birth certificate and 8+ years after the rumor began. I actually wouldn't have trolled the media the way Trump did and would not field too many questions or say much about this issue anymore (especially after the statement Friday and press release).

Don't ignore Blumenthal's part in this. Sure, he was not officially a part of the campaign. He was only Hillary's trusted advisor.
How do you vet someone for forwarding an email? He was dismissed from his duties, immediately.

Hillary started the birther movement?
More lies and BS from the con man and birther in chief Trump, a good example of his propensity to say anything he pleases facts be damned knowing full well his trumpests will lap it up as if anything he says is true especially when it comes to his smear campaign and character assassination of Hillary Clinton.

Their volunteer didn't "start the birther nonsense", he forwarded an email. Therefore, he didn't "start" anything.

That's actually very funny when you start to wonder what happened to the email! Wouldn't it be great if it were found so Hillary can pin it on someone outside her campaign? And who did he forward it to? Someone higher up, or someone who would get it out in public?

I said do not ignore Blumenthal's part in this. You ignored that paragraph.

You "vet" people before they do something stupid. You fire them afterward.

Trump, by the way, mentioned his mea culpa during a presentation with Medal of Honor recipients who all endorsed him. Clearly some of our nation's greatest warriors and heroes don't see him as "classless and cowardly".

By the way, when has Obama ever admitted that he was wrong? Honestly, I can't think of a single example. It's not that he's never reversed himself; he's done that many times. But clearly he's a man who thinks he's smarter than everyone else in the room and has surrounded himself with similarly arrogant people. His previous press secretary was a real piece of work.
A) Yes, Hillary Clinton apologized to Obama for the comment from a worker.

B) Obama never admits he was wrong? Whatever happened to the right-wing claim that Obama went on "an apology tour?" I think you folks need to keep you story consistent.


Every one of the assertions in the post I was responding is fallacious.

And what vetting exactly would have revealed this guy might forward a distasteful email at some point?

Seriously, exactly how would you have vetted this volunteer that would have revealed his penchant for forwarding emails?
