Why is the Birther Movement called "racist"?

Status
Not open for further replies.
Why? Ask Hillary. She started the birther stuff back in '08. Don't recall now if it was before or after Cigar Bill opined to Teddy Kennedy...a few years ago this guy (implying boy) would be getting us coffee.

You can take the racist white boy dimocrat out of the south, buy you can't...
No, Clinton did not start the birther movement. Anonymous emails believed to be from Hillary supporters questioned his citizenship. Jim Geraghty, a conservative blogger and contributed to the National Review formulated what is now thought of as the Birther Conspiracy Theory that Obama was born in Kenya and not Hawaii.
If the Hillary supporters didn't start the rumor and Obama wouldn't have lied to his literary agency about being 'Kenyan born', not correcting his lie until two months into his campaign, Jim Geraghty wy

No evidence that Jim Geraghty ever knew about the obscure pamphlet.

No Birther knew about the obscure pamphlet until 2012- after a full 4 years of Orly Taitz and WND going down the Birther rabbit hole- and a whole year after King Birther Donald Trump went down the Birther rabbit hole.

You do seem to have problems with time lines.
Forget the pamphlet....it was also on the literary agency's website bio of Obama two months into his campaign for 2008. Explain....

That is the pamphlet-the pamphlet- the website- same thing- again- no Birther noticed it- no one apparently noticed it- not for 4 years.

Explain how the pamphlet is the cause of Birtherism when no Birthers had seen it until 4 years after they started a Birthering.
 
Thems the facts, Syriusly. Plenty of people saw it, and nobody told Obama about it until two years into his campaign? Explain....don't ask me a question until you explain that.

  • Online archive from April 2007 by publishing agency Acton & Dystel has Mr Obama's birthplace listed as Kenya - two months after he announced he was running for president
  • The same online archive dated two weeks later in April 2007 has changed the current U.S president's birthplace to Hawaii
  • President Obama published Hawaiian birth certificate last year in hopes to end 'birther' theories
  • This follows the discovery of a 1991 booklet from Acton & Dystel announcing that the Democrat was ‘born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.’
Barack Obama's literary agents were still listing the U.S President's birthplace as Kenya in their online author bios two months after he first announced his run for president in 2007.

Viewed on web.archive.org the April 3rd 2007 listing from Acton & Dystel for Mr Obama still touts the then-Democratic junior senator from Illinois as 'born in Kenya'.

Indeed, the short biography even references his now famous speech to the Democratic National Convention which launched Mr Obama to national fame and announced him as potential candidate for the presidency."


Explain....
 
The media hacks keep telling everyone that anybody who questioned whether Obama was truly born in the US, has to be a racist. I don't understand why.
Because they're left wing morons. And actually, when it all boils down...Obama is the main person responsible for the birther movement. Back when he was a 'constitutional law professor'(which he really wasn't, he was a glorified teacher's assistant pretty much), a brochure or booklet of some sort was put out with short bios on university staff at the time....The booklet/brochure said Obama was born in Kenya and he made absolutely no effort to correct it. If he would've corrected it way back then....birtherism would have never been a thing.

Speaking of 'lying'- this one is the doozy you made up in your first post- which has most of everything wrong- but the flat out lie is your claim that if only Barack Obama had corrected the error in his bio made in 1991- Birtherism would have never been a thing.

But no one heard about that pamphlet until 2012 - a full 4 years after Birthers started making their stupid claims.

Until Breitbart published the pamphlet- not a single Birther referenced the pamphlet- but Birthers mentioned Kenyan birth certificates that a convicted con man supposedly had for sale.....but never the pamphlet.

So OO- why did you lie about the pamphlet?
Barack Obama was still 'Kenyan born' in 2007 according to his literary agency...two months after announcing his bid for the U.S presidency.

Origins: In May 2012 the web site Breitbart.com published a copy of a promotional booklet produced in 1991 by the literary agency Acton & Dystel showcasing their roster of writers, among whom was a young man named Barack Obama. This booklet was of particular interest because it included a brief biographical sketch which described the future President as having been born in Kenya:

First Birthers: 2008.

What kind of time machine do you think Birthers were using to go to 2012 to find out about the pamphlet?
 
Thems the facts, Syriusly. Plenty of people saw it, and nobody told Obama about it until two years into his campaign? Explain....don't ask me a question until you explain that.

Apparently no one saw it.

Since no one noticed it until 2012.

When Breitbart brought it to Birthers attention and you have been talking about it ever since.

And those are the facts.

2008 Birthers started Birthering
2012 Birthers found out about the error in the pamphlet.
2016- Offensive blames the pamphlet for Birthers believing their idiocy.
 
You'll never address the facts because you are a liar. We are done here. If you can't answer my questions first, I'm not answering yours.

If you want to explain why he let the error stay on the website, of the same company that made the 1991 pamphlets, for so long....I will answer yours.

The editor of the biographical text about Barack Obama which was included in the booklet maintained that the mention of Kenya was an error on her part and was not based on any information provided to her by Obama himself:
Miriam Goderich edited the text of the bio; she is now a partner at the Dystel & Goderich agency, which lists Obama as one of its current clients.

"You're undoubtedly aware of the brouhaha stirred up by Breitbart about the erroneous statement in a client list Acton & Dystel published in 1991 (for circulation within the publishing industry only) that Barack Obama was born in Kenya. This was nothing more than a fact checking error by me — an agency assistant at the time," Goderich wrote. "There was never any information given to us by Obama in any of his correspondence or other communications suggesting in any way that he was born in Kenya and not Hawaii. I hope you can communicate to your readers that this was a simple mistake and nothing more."


A New York Times article about Barack Obama published in 1990, a year before the Acton & Dystel promotional booklet was issued, identified his birthplace as Hawaii.

Come on now....you can do it!

The fucking guy was a Senator, running for president later on, made book deals through the agency... But nobody saw it?


You've got to be the dumbest person on earth to believe that. You are purposely being obtuse and dishonest.

I didn't lie.

No, Clinton did not start the birther movement. Anonymous emails believed to be from Hillary supporters questioned his citizenship. Jim Geraghty, a conservative blogger and contributed to the National Review formulated what is now thought of as the Birther Conspiracy Theory that Obama was born in Kenya and not Hawaii.
If the Hillary supporters didn't start the rumor and Obama wouldn't have lied to his literary agency about being 'Kenyan born', not correcting his lie until two months into his campaign, Jim Geraghty would've had nothing to go on. Don't try to excuse the left and Obama's hand in starting the conspiracy movement.

Barack Obama was still 'Kenyan born' in 2007 according to his literary agency...two months after announcing his bid for the U.S presidency
The emails were anonymous and assumed to be from Clinton supporters.
The editor of the biographical text about Barack Obama which was included in the promotion booklet maintained that the mention of Kenya was an error on her part and was not based on any information provided to her by Obama himself. A New York Times article about Barack Obama published in 1990, a year before the Acton & Dystel promotional booklet was issued, identified his birthplace as Hawaii.

It's not clear that in the 1990's, that Obama even knew about the error and even if he did, what reason would he have to get a piece advertising, probably long since discarded corrected. He was not running for president in the 90's, had ample proof of where he was born, and it wasn't even his mistake, so why bother.


Promotional Booklet

You've got to be the dumbest person on earth to believe that. You are purposely being obtuse and dishonest.

Yep- you lied.

Glad to repeat your lie again:

The booklet/brochure said Obama was born in Kenya and he made absolutely no effort to correct it. If he would've corrected it way back then....birtherism would have never been a thing.

As I have repeatedly pointed out- you Birthers didn't find out about the pamphlet until 2012- a full 4 years after the Birthering began.

It is just a flat out lie to claim that that pamphlet is responsible for idiot Birthers being idiot Birthers in 2008.

 
No evidence that Jim Geraghty ever knew about the obscure pamphlet.

No Birther knew about the obscure pamphlet until 2012- after a full 4 years of Orly Taitz and WND going down the Birther rabbit hole- and a whole year after King Birther Donald Trump went down the Birther rabbit hole.

You do seem to have problems with time lines.

That is the pamphlet-the pamphlet- the website- same thing- again- no Birther noticed it- no one apparently noticed it- not for 4 years.

Explain how the pamphlet is the cause of Birtherism when no Birthers had seen it until 4 years after they started a Birthering.

Why? Ask Hillary. She started the birther stuff back in '08. Don't recall now if it was before or after Cigar Bill opined to Teddy Kennedy...a few years ago this guy (implying boy) would be getting us coffee.

You can take the racist white boy dimocrat out of the south, buy you can't...
No, Clinton did not start the birther movement. Anonymous emails believed to be from Hillary supporters questioned his citizenship. Jim Geraghty, a conservative blogger and contributed to the National Review formulated what is now thought of as the Birther Conspiracy Theory that Obama was born in Kenya and not Hawaii.
If the Hillary supporters didn't start the rumor and Obama wouldn't have lied to his literary agency about being 'Kenyan born', not correcting his lie until two months into his campaign, Jim Geraghty would've had nothing to go on. Don't try to excuse the left and Obama's hand in starting the conspiracy movement.

Barack Obama was still 'Kenyan born' in 2007 according to his literary agency...two months after announcing his bid for the U.S presidency
The emails were anonymous and assumed to be from Clinton supporters.
The editor of the biographical text about Barack Obama which was included in the promotion booklet maintained that the mention of Kenya was an error on her part and was not based on any information provided to her by Obama himself. A New York Times article about Barack Obama published in 1990, a year before the Acton & Dystel promotional booklet was issued, identified his birthplace as Hawaii.

It's not clear that in the 1990's, that Obama even knew about the error and even if he did, what reason would he have to get a piece advertising, probably long since discarded corrected. He was not running for president in the 90's, had ample proof of where he was born, and it wasn't even his mistake, so why bother.


Promotional Booklet

No way for Barack Obama Jr. to forecast in 1991 that there would be nutjobs who would be trying to find some excuse about why he must not be eligible to be President.

Every actual publication for distribution that mentions his place of birth from 1990 onwards shows his place of birth as Hawaii.

Birthers of course ignore those publications- and insist that an obscure pamphlet that no one even noticed is the Sekrit Smoking Gun!

Because they're left wing morons. And actually, when it all boils down...Obama is the main person responsible for the birther movement. Back when he was a 'constitutional law professor'(which he really wasn't, he was a glorified teacher's assistant pretty much), a brochure or booklet of some sort was put out with short bios on university staff at the time....The booklet/brochure said Obama was born in Kenya and he made absolutely no effort to correct it. If he would've corrected it way back then....birtherism would have never been a thing.

Speaking of 'lying'- this one is the doozy you made up in your first post- which has most of everything wrong- but the flat out lie is your claim that if only Barack Obama had corrected the error in his bio made in 1991- Birtherism would have never been a thing.

But no one heard about that pamphlet until 2012 - a full 4 years after Birthers started making their stupid claims.

Until Breitbart published the pamphlet- not a single Birther referenced the pamphlet- but Birthers mentioned Kenyan birth certificates that a convicted con man supposedly had for sale.....but never the pamphlet.

So OO- why did you lie about the pamphlet?

Still waiting for OO to explain from his second post why he lied.
Nobody saw it.... Lol. Too funny.

So why didn't you mention the pamphlet in 2007?
I wasn't even on this site in 2007.

So why didn't you bring it up anywhere in 2007?
