This is no surprise, the far left still gives Obama a huge pass and much of that is being passed on to Hilary.

The media gave the Rev. Wright story and the birther story 10 times the coverage they deserved.

It was Hillary Clinton's supporters that started the birther story, that is why they covered it.

No, it wasn't. The story was picked up by the rightwing propaganda machine that was still running with it 4 years later.

The Trump version was 2012, remember?

Yes it was.
Birtherism Where it all began - Ben Smith and Byron Tau - POLITICO.com
That theory first emerged in the spring of 2008, as Clinton supporters circulated an anonymous email 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.
Ironically, the birther movement didn’t really take off in earnest until the Obama team tried to debunk it.

In June 2008, National Review conservative blogger Jim Geraghty, after debunking a number of conspiracy theories about Obama floated by fellow conservatives, asked the Obama campaign to “return the favor” and just release his birth certificate to the public to put to rest questions about both Obama’s birth and whether, as enemies claimed, his middle name was “Mohammed.”

A few days later, the Obama campaign did exactly that.

They posted Obama’s certificate of live birth on their “Fight the Smears” website and gave a copy to the liberal website Daily Kos. It was greeted with immediate cries that it was a fake.
It was the left who started it.

See!!!
The left are so good at propaganda that they turned it into a rightwing thing when it was all started by the left to begin with.
Most people are so gullible.

I can't help it if Trump still believed the Daily Kos 4 years later.

So the media wasn't giving Obama a pass.

lol, you're too stupid to even know that was your point.

I was not the one who started this thread.
It was started by the left and then the left turned it into, it was always the right who started it.
Yes the media did give Obama a pass.

Kid gloves?

Are you kidding me?

What about Rev Wright, Saul Alinsky, a Kenyan birth certificate, Bill Ayers, hating America and being a Muslim?

Nothing to see move along reporting is what was wrong. Google lane bridge closing, to bengazi.

Bob Schieffer is a pansy ass excuse for a journalist. Most of them are. And the ones that aren't get ran out by their corporate overlords.

 

[Misty]

Says it is more the opponent's job to vet their other party's candidate

And they are and will handle Hillary the same.
