        The whole rub of "birtherism" was to fuel the perception that Obama was vaguely, suspiciously "foreign" and insufficiently "American"

        Subsequently, right-wingers & Trump types morphed the general sentiment into a conspiracy about the birth certificate. But HRC set the tone.

        It's well documented that Mark Penn had very little sway over the Clinton campaign

        Hard to limit talk about Indonesia without talking why she moved there - abandoned by Kenyan man already married.

        It's like the media has never heard of surrogates, themselves as accomplices, or plausible deniability. Weird.

        @BBCandice not only did the birther thing originate w/ HRC's camp. Trump actually endorsed and Supported HRC in those primaries

        @ComfortablySmug So are you saying the racists all read Penn's memo and went from there?? To me this is a facile statement.

        Isn't Mark Penn supposed to be (in)famous for managing losing campaigns? I hear he writes some awesome concession speeches.

        @ByYourLogic I do admire their Trump-ish strategy of just saying it's wrong without specifically countering the info available.
