Trump says Obama was born in the U.S.A >>> “PERIOD” --- But before that Trump said Hillary started the whole birther story and that he ended it…..
Hillary says Trump was the country’s top birther for five years.....
MSM immediately declares that Trump is wrong and Hillary is right --- And that’s all there is to it
NOT SO FAST !!! --- Says the right wing media
The main stream news coverage of the Trump “birther” announcement is, as usual, despicable and shows who’s really in the basket of deplorables in our society.
For example, this afternoon, “The Wall Street Journal” reported that --- “Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump for the first time conceded that President Barack Obama was born in the U.S., standing down from years of false accusations about Mr. Obama that made the businessman the central figure in the discredited “birther” movement…. “President Barack Obama was born in the United States, period. Now we all want to get back to making America strong and great again,” Mr. Trump said at his newly opened hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue…. Mr. Trump’s statement marks an attempt to put to rest a conspiracy theory he fanned for years, though he again falsely assigned blame on Democratic rival Hillary Clinton for the incorrect suggestion that Hawaii-born Mr. Obama was born overseas…. There is no evidence that Mrs. Clinton or her 2008 campaign launched the birther movement, an assertion Mr. Trump and his supporters have long claimed is true. Mr. Trump didn’t take questions from the reporters he gathered to the event. He flashed two thumbs-up as he left the hotel ballroom….” (See “Donald Trump Says Barack Obama Was Born in U.S. After Years of Sowing Doubt -- GOP candidate also raises discredited theory that Hillary Clinton started ‘birther movement’” by Michael C. Bender & Reid J.Epstein, The Wall Street Journal [http://www.wsj.com/articles/donald-trump-says-barack-obama-was-born-in-u-s-after-years-of-sowing-doubt-1474041185]). --- So many lies in so few words…..
RIGHT WING MEDIA RESPONDS --- VERY QUICKLY
The Conservative oriented media didn’t stay silent long. By mid -afternoon, the top two links on the Drudge Report homepage were the following: “Hillary Campaign Manager Admits 2008 Birther Link...” and “Journalist Says Blumenthal ‘Spread Rumor to Him’…” (See Drudge Report, 9/16/16 [http://www.drudgereport.com/]). Those two links were to two articles posted earlier today one by Breitbart News ( See “Hillary Clinton Campaign Manager Admits 2008 Birther Link” by Joel B. Pollack, 9/16/16, Breitbart News/ Big Government [http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/09/16/hillary-clinton-campaign-manager-admits-birtherism-started/]; and the other from Mediaite ( See “Journalist Says That Clinton Ally Blumenthal Once ‘Spread the Birther Rumor to Me’ by Josh Feldman, 9/16/16, Mediaite. [http://www.mediaite.com/online/journalist-says-that-clinton-ally-blumenthal-once-spread-the-birther-rumor-to-me/]). Many other right-wing outlets on the internet and/or the blogosphere followed suit.
It doesn’t look like the “He said – She said” meme vis a vis the birth and fostering of “birtherism” will end any time soon.
Sid Blumenthal started the whole birther thing in 2008 when Hillary questioned where Obama was born.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, latest polls show Hillary losing in most swing states.
Sid Blumenthal is a very big fish in the Hillary Clinton pond, and she calls him a close friend. For some reason, the Obama team hated him so much, one of the conditions for Hillary to be Secretary of State was for Blumenthal NOT to come over to work for her there --- but the emails showed that he did, but "off the books."
ReplyDeleteLets go to the emails ...
ReplyDeleteUPDATE & BACKFILL: THE “LOST IN THE SHUFFLE --- TRUMP CONTINUED HIS MINORITY OUTREACH” EDITION
ReplyDeleteIMPORTANT STORY HARDLY NOTICED BY THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA --- IT DIDN’T FIT THEIR AGENDA OF JUMPING ON A FEW TRUMP PHRASES ABOUT OBAMA AND “BIRTHERISM” --- AND/OR DISARMING HILLARY’S BODYGUARD & HOW THAT MIGHT WORK
YESTERDAY, TRUMP VISITED MIAMI’S “LITTLE HAITI” JUST TO “LISTEN & LEARN” AND TALK ABOUT SCANDAL OF CLINTON FAILURES IN HAITI
According to the Miami Herald --- “Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump met with a small group of Haitian Americans Friday in Little Haiti, telling them that they share ‘a lot of common values’ and the country deserved better than Democratic rival Hillary Clinton…. Clinton, Trump said, failed Haiti when it needed help the most…. ‘Clinton was responsible for doing things a lot of the Haitian people are not happy with,’ Trump said from prepared remarks, referring to the aftermath of Haiti’s devastating Jan. 12, 2010, earthquake. ‘Taxpayer dollars intended for Haiti and the earthquake victims went to a lot of the Clinton cronies.’… Later, Trump told the crowd that he had come to “listen and learn” and to build a new relationship with the community. ‘Whether you vote for me or not I really want to be your biggest champion,’ he said…. There was no news from the candidate during the 26-minute discussion, in which attendees questioned him about his position on school choice. They also complained about the Clintons’ two-decade-plus involvement in Haiti…. ‘I didn’t understand, now I understand it,” Trump said in reference to many Haitians’ feelings about the Clintons’...” (See “Donald Trump to Haitian voters: I want to be your greatest champion” by Jacqueline Charles, 9/16/16, The Miami Herald/ Donald Trump [http://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/election/donald-trump/article102349877.html]).
The Miami paper also noted that outside of his prepared remarks, Trump said very little during the meeting at the Little Haiti Cultural Center’s adjoining marketplace and visitor center before he was ushered out to his next stop. Outside the event, a few protesters held signs accusing Trump of racism and hate.
Hillary raised it & her poll numbers go down.
