wmw999 2,447 #52 September 16, 2016 Well, to be perfectly honest, it seems to have started with a Hillary supporter (Factcheck.org). First reference was after she had conceded, I believe, so it's unlikely she had anything to do with it. She didn't jump all over it as BS (probably because her campaign was over by then). It certainly took on a life in the "industrial strength conservative" universe. Wendy P.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tkhayes 348 #59 September 17, 2016 StreetScoobyQuote but the Constitution is a far more complex document No, it's not. It's actually pretty straight forward, as are the 27 amendments that have passed to date. The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America Product Dimensions: 4.9 x 3.4 x 0.5 inches This will fit into your shirt pocket. Takes less than an hour to read through it. Sure it is really simple I guess....that is why we have an entire court system in place to interpret it with a staff of nearly 500 people....because it is soooooo simple and straightforward.

Well, there you go again with an elitist attitude...maybe MSNBC is more to you're liking.

Trump jumped on the issue in 2011 three years later. To help you out...during the debate around 6:12 minutes into the debate it comes up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 2,991 #71 September 19, 2016 >Maybe if you go back to a presidental debate between Clinton / Obama in 2008 you >will find that is the time within 36 hours of the debate the Birther issue started. I just realized this is Birther 2.0. "Hillary Clinton started it." "No, she didn't. It was started by an error by a literary agent in 1991. They screwed up his biography." "Hillary Clinton repeated it." "No, she didn't. She never said that. In fact, when asked she said 'of course not. I mean, that's, you know, there is no basis for that.' " "Well, then, her campaign repeated it." "No, no, they didn't do that either." "Well, uh . . . . a staffer wrote an email to someone that claimed it!" "No, that's not true either." "Well, uh . . see . . a staffer once FORWARDED an email that claimed it! Yeah, that's it!" "Yes, and they were fired immediately. The email was written by someone else." "SEE! HILLARY CLINTON STARTED IT!" I would say that it would be hard to believe anyone could be so intentionally obtuse, but there are still people who believe that Obama wasn't born in the US, that the Earth was created 6000 years ago, and that 9/11 was an inside job.

tkhayes 348 #73 September 19, 2016 sure no one on the right is pushing it, except for the guy on the right..... http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2016/09/16/five-years-of-donald-trumps-birther-statements/ Trump absolutely owned this issue. I could give a shit if he started it or not, that actually doesn't matter, but he sure as hell carried it. and carried it and carried it, non stop for years. That is because he is a racist fuck....and is completely out of touch with reality. He does not represent America, he represents himself and his ego. And he is going to lose the election by a landslide because of all that and every other 100 things that are wrong with him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
