So when the 2008 clinton campaign decided to subtly paint obama as "his roots to basic American and values and culture are at best limited", and pushed his "lack of American roots", her supporters circulating an email implying that he wasn't born in Hawaii, Bob Kerrey using obama's full name (hussein), talking about him being muslim, saying that "people are acting as if he's an islamic Manchurian candidate" -- that was because he's black. Right?
Huh? What email did the Hillary campaign send that implied Obama was not born in Hawaii?
You know, I've lost count of how many times I've told you to READ WHAT I ACTUALLY POSTED. ******* moron.
Scuse me.... Hillary's supporters....
Still no answer.... what email did Hillary supporters send to imply Obama was not born in Hawaii? The only such email I saw were sent anonymously with no way of identifying the sender.
You know, it would do you well to
actually read what I've already posted instead of constantly asking, because I've already provided this answer.
"The idea that Obama was
born elsewhere, specifically Kenya, was first floated in April 2008, according to a 22 April 2011
Politico article by Ben Smith and Byron Tau on the origins of birtherism:
That theory first emerged in the spring of 2008, as Clinton supporters circulated an anonymous e-mail questioning Obama’s citizenship.
“Barack Obama’s mother was living in Kenya with his Arab-African father late in her pregnancy. She was not allowed to travel by plane then, so Barack Obama was born there and his mother then took him to Hawaii to register his birth,” asserted one chain email that surfaced on the urban legend site Snopes.com in April 2008.
That Hillary Clinton supporters circulated such an e-mail isn't in question, but the claim that that's the moment the birther theory "first emerged" simply isn't true. The likeliest point of origin we've been able to find was a
post on conservative message board FreeRepublic.com dated 1 March 2008 (which, according to a
report in
The Telegraph, was at least a month before Clinton supporters got on the e-mail bandwagon)."
Did Clinton Supporters Start the 'Birther' Movement?
