Although the left vehemently denies it, the campaign to portray Barack Hussein Obama as a muslim born in Kenya, was born in Hillary Clinton's 2008 run for the White House. Progressives are quick to deflect and redirect these dirty little deeds to blame their targets. It is now considered common knowledge that it was the GOP who started the rumors about Obama, much like the GOP was blamed for the Willy Horton story planted by Al Gore on Michael Dukakis. But back to the birthers....here is Poppy somebody or other all upset and interrupting when a Kasich supporter points out where the birther movement first moved:
The idea of going after Obama’s otherness dates back to the last presidential election—and to Democrats. … Hillary Clinton’s chief strategist, Mark Penn, recognized this potential vulnerability in Obama and sought to exploit it. … Penn wrote: … “[H]is roots to basic American values and culture are at best limited. I cannot imagine America electing a president during a time of war who is not at his center fundamentally American in his thinking and his values.”
Here are the facts:
More than a full year before anyone would hear of Orly Taitz, the Birther strategy was first laid out in the Penn memo.
The “othering” foundation was built subliminally by the Clinton campaign itself.
Democrats and Clinton campaign surrogates did the dirtiest of the dirty work: openly spread the Birther lies.
Staffers in Hillary’s actual campaign used email to spread the lies among other Democrats (this was a Democrat primary after all — so that is the only well you needed to poison a month before a primary).
The campaign released the turban photo.
The conclusion to be drawn is simple and straight out of Alinsky's playbook...when caught, in lies and subterfuge, blame the accuser.
