Excerpt:
The Daily Caller's Managing Editor Christopher Bedford reports: Birth Of A Movement, The Politico forgets that Hillary Clinton's people invented birtherism
In a Tuesday morning puff profile on Hillary Clinton loyalist and Media Matters founder David Brock, The Politico actually manages to blame conservatives for an anti-Obama attack designed and launched by — wait for it — Mrs. Clinton’s camp.
“For Brock, the attacks on Obama bear some similarities to the types of attacks on the Clinton White House,” the site tells us. “Obama has faced a range of attacks from the right, including the belief, championed in some conservative quarters, that he was not born in the United States.”
Dun-dun-dunnnnnn!
But the funny thing is, if we rewind The Politico just two years, 11 months, we find “That theory first emerged in the spring of 2008, as Clinton supporters circulated an anonymous email questioning Obama’s citizenship.”
So the key example of the evil right-wing misinformation campaign is actually a product of Clintonland.
Dun-dun-dunnnnnn!
And in the fourth paragraph, Mr. Brock — who is more than a little mean, more than a little paranoid — laments “how conservatives upended many of our long-held ways of conducting politics that what they did then fundamentally reshaped how we engage in politics now.” (RELATED: Inside Media Matters: David Brock’s enemies list)
No room for a reporter to push back there. [...] - Continued @ The Daily Caller. H/T Reagan's Ghost.
The Daily Caller readers know who started the Birther issue:
MolecularBear: Actually, the inventor of birtherism is Bari Soetoro. He is the first documented person to contradict his own Hawaiian-born birth narrative. Look no further than his own bio that was championed for more than a decade by his book publisher -- and which was self-provided -- to find that AKA Obama was born in Kenya. [.]
Tillee: Imagine all the retractions Daily Caller and Breitbart will have to print for mocking those who say Obama's background is fabricated (a/k/a "Birthers"). Tucker Carlson can come kiss my Support Sheriff Joe bumper sticker as penance. [.]
