Somehow this forum turns into a poor Hannity and Colmes ripoff. We need a poor man's O'Reilly Factor too.
So maybe my reading comprehension needs work, but from what I am understanding Clinton's campaign was focusing on his heritage. IE my translation was that this was race baiting at it's finest, and was xenophobic, which is I agree deplorable. But, to your point, the article quoting the memo didn't state anything about where he was born, or focusing on his birthplace. So far, from what I have read, the reason why folks are going onto media outlets and stating that it was not Clinton that started the birther thing is, well, because she didn't. It's a classic red herring here where Trump, where there are five years of evidence linking him to the birther movement is trying to stick it to his opponent. Unfortunately that seems to be working with some people, which simply amazes me. But keep digging, if you find something that links Clinton to it, then feel free to try again, but this is not the smoking gun you're making it out to be.
barfologic (tm) If they don't execute on the plan immediately, they can't later on? They wanted to make him appear unamerican, African heritage. What does heritage mean? SMH
They're whining and bawling like babies over it. They're saying it's wrong. They should say it was wrong then, too.
Trump and Denny both want Hillary dead. http://koin.com/ap/trump-on-unarmed-clinton-guards-lets-see-what-happens/
Oh, come on. They spread around a picture making it look like he was born and raised in Africa. And questioned his heritage (which is birth related). QUOTE: "lack of american roots." It's absolutely the smoking gun. And I'm no fan of Trump. He, too, was an utter asshole about this. http://www.politico.com/story/2016/09/birther-movement-founder-trump-clinton-228304 Later, in the spring 2008, as Clinton’s chances of winning the Democratic primary grew thin, some of her hardcore supporters circulated rumors that Obama may not be a U.S. citizen
I have posted frequently enough that there's plenty of actually vald and unbiased reporting to be done. No need to be in the tank for Hiliar. Like the article I posted about how Trump's property management company routinely discriminated against black people, and he was sued by the city for it. Or the state of the polls post I made earlier where I suggested Trump is very close to being ahead in the Electoral College. And I wrote, "God help us all."
Well I am glad we came to the agreement that Trump was an asshole about this too, he went off about this for FIVE YEARS, and even after the birth certificate was released continued to harp on this claiming it was fake. How can anyone support this guy? If the Republicans had nominated a reasonable person like Kasich I would almost certainly be voting for them instead, too bad they missed the boat and voted for one of the candidates that is actually worse than Clinton in every way possible.
Kasich was my preferred republican. I didn't care for any of the rest, though the field was actually quite strong. I planned to vote Libertarian all along. I voted Johnson in the primary and in 2012. Before that, Ron Paul. Before that Harry Brown twice, and Mike Badnarik. There is no 9/11 for Obama. He's never attempted to bring republicans into anything. He's not been a great leader - he let Reid/Pelosi lead on ObamaCare, for example. The media was whining that Trump's surrogates said Obama was born here, but nothing from Trump himself. So he does outright say it, and the press still isn't happy. My gripes are with the media, not for Trump. There are plenty of legitimate things to report on that question his suitability for the job. Stuff like "Trump is a Manchurian Candate" is both unnecessary and batshit crazy/stupid. Heck, Trump's overtures toward Putin are a great thing, and no worse than Hiliar's "reset with Russia" a few years back. Peacemakers talk to the enemy. Otherwise peace isn't possible. Duh.
There's a lot of Truth to the unbolded part of this post, his foreign policy is a classic example of not having a clear vision for what you are trying to achieve and being out foxed by someone who knows what they want and is executing a plan. But the bolded part is just plain fabrication, have you been paying attention to congress since 2008? If you were, you would remember there's been a very well published and well documented, and to their credit, well executed plan to block every piece of legislation Obama has been supporting. What's the most insane is even when the bills and legislation that has been being drafted is being co-authored by Republicans they still vote against it because it fit into their overall strategy of being the party of "no."
Oh, and Thanks Obama! I bet Obama was behind the birther thing, it was probably the 2008 Obama campaign that started the birther thing.
Yes, I pay plenty of attention. Look, Bill Clinton got shit done. His congress was out to impeach him on just about any grounds. Talk about hostile! Republicans aren't codrafting bills and voting against them. Maybe the gang of 8 type bills that really are not in republicans' interests.
That's silly. It was in an internal memo that not only was not public, but was not acted on (except possibly, a year later, someone emailed one picture). False equivalence. Like saying you got in a car wreck, were burned over 98% of your body, and broke your neck. And I almost, but not quite, stubbed my toe, so I, too, had a terrible accident. The PUMA crowd were not Hillary Clinton or her campaign. barfo
