And she avoided mentioning that the staffer in her campaign that started the rumor was found out and fired, thereby allowing the rumor to continue, to likely get her more votes in the primary.

So where's the story? What exactly are you trying to suggest? Even Breitbart admits there is no link to Clinton or her campaign. That it was a rogue campaign worker.
When the campaign found out about it they did not make a public statement about it, which perpetuated the rumor. Did they hope that they would continue to gain primary votes by staying mum? The whole birther movement would have been dead before it got off the ground. Who do we blame for that? Trump, or Hillary?

Or so they say. Lying is Clinton and her campaigns only strong point.

Just because Clinton or her campaign says something, most certainly does not make it factual. Someone should find this "rogue" employee if she isn't dead.

So far, six pages of posts based upon the false premise that the Clinton campaign started the birther movement, regardless of it being debunked repeatedly.

So you are saying it was NOT a Democrat campaign worker that started it? There is no way a Republican campaign worker would bother with this during primary season.

How far from the top of the campaign do you have to go before the candidate does not bear any of the responsibility for what anyone in the campaign does? Tell us why the campaign worker got fired, please.

Barackryphal: Secret Origin, Part 2
Thank you for posting those links. I was trying to remember those sites. Very good information. Of course none of the committed liars here will open them the truth is not their mission. This thread has completely convinced me that the only purpose for some to post about this election is to get key words out on the internet which lead to lies, regardless of how stupid and blatant the lies.

Actually some nut cases support political candidates Without ever working directly for the campaign and without the knowledge of the candidate.

Look up the name Philip J Berg of Pennsylvania who filed lawsuits alleging Obama was not a citizen therefore ineligible to run. This was very early on. Berg never worked for Clinton campaign, never spike with Clinton or anyone on her staff or working for her campaign. He was just a lone nutcase Clinton fan.

Hillary Clinton had no control whatsoever over Philip Berg. He has free speech rights as all citizens do. Nut cases do strange things. Clinton's apology for the rogue campaign worker's actions demonstrates she had no desire or intention to use such a totally ridiculous lie against Obama or anyone. Integrity.

That campaign worker was fired Immediately when Clinton found out about. Do you seriously think the candidates have time to micromanage every move made by every campaign worker? There are levels of management and decision making which is how Hillary found out and took Immediate action by firing the person.

Hillary didn't start the birther insanity because she does have integrity even if it's your job to lie and dispute that.

Seems to me that lying is the strong point and mission of Hillary haters out there along with a commitment, for some reason, to get online and repeat over and over again key words in lies about Hillary. The thread is but one of hundreds of examples.

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.

That was 2008, this is 2016, let it go.
