A true shame Hilary Clinton and friends started that propaganda isn't it?
She also released photos of him in Muslim garb to make people believe he was Muslim and scare them because of all the terrorist crap going on, and to push her camps rumors he was Muslim
It was a democrat, Berg who first sued Obama for his birth certificate and a Clinton donor.
Hilary Clinton started the birther movement, and liberals don't see when one of their own start spreading lies to discredit someone of their own party, it seems to have more weight for some from the other party.
Birtherism: Where it all began
The answer lies in Democratic, not Republican politics, and in the bitter, exhausting spring of 2008. At the time, the Democratic presidential primary was slipping away from Hillary Clinton and some of her most passionate supporters grasped for something, anything that would deal a final reversal to Barack Obama.

Ergo, if you don't want a few people to believe lies then don't put it out there, simple.
Further proof that 1, the Right lies in packs and 2, Everything nasty the Right does the revisionists blame on a Dem. They did it with the Birthers and they did it with Obama's middle name.
Everybody, including the Right, knows the Freepers started the Birther rumors March 1, 2008. They beat the claims in your links by a full month.
From your link:
It was not until
April 2008, at the height of the intensely bitter Democratic presidential primary process, that the touch paper was properly lit.
An anonymous email circulated by supporters of Mrs Clinton, Mr Obamas main rival for the partys nomination, thrust a new allegation into the national spotlight that he had not been born in Hawaii.
