    Isn't that the right-wing mantra?

    You use the same tactics over and over.

    Those seeing racists being racists, ARE THE RACISTS.

    Those mentioning the TRUMP SMEARS, are smearing.

    The Conservatives BECOME SUPER racist, and it is all due to the ORIGINAL RACISTS, which are DEMS, so they can be as racist AS THEY ENJOY, CUZ IT IS ALL THEM dems FAULT THAT WE ARE STINKIN RACISTS.

    As opposed to the mantra of "Hope and Change!" that actually masqueraded as a policy statement?

    Cut to the chase; if half of all Trump supporters are deplorables because Hillary SAYS that they are deploables then half of all Hillary supporters are various sorts of . . . scum because anyone can make that accusation with a similar lack of proof. Now that is balance.

    Trump has nothing to apologize about....

    IMO, there is no evidence to suggest Obama was born in the United States and questioning where he was born would be logical but moot considering him mother is a US citizen.

    It's not like his mother wasn't basically a transient, which she was.

    I wouldn't be shocked tho if Obama did come out of the closet and admit he wasn't born in the United States to set precedent for a foreigner to run as president. That is absolutely without question something a progressive like Obama would do.

    Trump said that Obama was born in America. Case closed. Hillary via her campaign staff started birtherism. Hillary WAS intimated to be a racist by the MSM of the day back in 2008 due to the nature of her campaign against Barack Obama. Case closed.

    When did I say she said it? She has lots of other things to apologize for.

    The topic is: "Trump makes no apologies for his birther past."

    Why should anyone be criticized for doubting Barack Obama's story about where he was born? The man has lied nearly every time he has opened his mouth. Hint: did YOU save $2,500 on your health insurance premiums after he and his Libocrat goon-squad crammed Obamacare down our throats...? Did YOU get to keep your insurance plan like you wanted it, with the doctor that YOU chose? What about his Social Security number -- FROM CONNECTICUT?! What about his bogus Selective Service registration? What about his application to a college for aid as a FOREIGN student? Anybody with a triple-digit IQ would be suspicious of all of that, especially from a proven LIAR!

    His mother was roaming around Kenya right at the time of his birth, trying to find his father, but supposedly she made a mad dash back across half the planet just in the nick of time to deposit little Barack in one of two Hawaiian hospitals (take your pick... both have claimed him). Meanwhile, at least one very convincing-looking birth certificate for him that originated IN KENYA surfaced, but was immediately scorned by the hyperliberal Left as a fraud.

    So, was Obama born in Hawaii? Hell, I don't know, and I've long since ceased to care, really. He couldn't have done much more damage to this poor country than he already has in over 7 1/2 years if he HAD been born in Kenya, or in some other 3rd-world pesthole instead of Hawaii. The only thing I look forward to now regarding Führer Obama is seeing him leave the White House for the last time! :flagus:

    The question asked in the OP is "Who on earth thought this was a good idea?". Apparently he took that play straight out of Hillary's little blackbook or blackberry smashed to bits with a hammer or something.

    I AM talking about the official long form original. Trump DID accept the issue was over. There IS no more to be said. HOW desperate are you people anyway?

    The polls are turning. Hillary is a sickly old liar working in collusion with the Obama Justice Department and you guys are rummaging through old garbage!
    LOL @ U and your desperate friends.

    :roll: :roll: Was Hillary a victim and captive of her own campaign? Her campaign speaks for her. If she doesn't specifically disavow something they are putting out (saving her from any backlash) it's all on her.
    Give everyone a break.

    You've fallen for one of Trump's most blatant, easily disprovable lie. He kept making birther claims even after the release of the long form. He claimed it was fake. Just because facts are inconvenient for your partisan politics doesn't stop them from being facts.

    If it was "desperate" to say more, then take it up with Trump . . . who felt it necessary to say more.

    Only Trumpeters who call a concern for the truth "desperate." Trump is playing a shell game and trying to dump his own desperation on another candidate. Sad.

    If you are going to claim that birtherism is "out of Hillary's" playbook, then try answering my original question.

    She did disavow it, and it never came out of her actual campaign. Try again.

    Why is it "racist" or "hateful" to think that Obama was born in Kenya? You are aware that Obama's publicist stated in his bio that he was born in Kenya for SIXTEEN YEARS (without correction) before he ran for president, right? Obama is the original birther.

    Trump believes that she made that "mad dash" and landed in the nick. But isn't odd that the Clinton wing of the DP doubted Obama's mother and his eligibility to run for the presidency?

    “In the early summer of '08, message boards on sites like PUMAParty.combegan lighting up with the ultimate reversal-of-fortune fantasy—that their party's nomination could be overturned on constitutional grounds. "Obama May Be Illegal to Be Elected President!" read one representative e-mail: "This came from a USNA [U.S. Naval Academy] alumnus. It'll be interesting to see how the media handle this...WRITE TO YOUR LOCAL newspaper editors etc. Keep this out there everyday possible. Also write to the DNC too!"


    That June, the Obama campaign released his certificate of live birth on its Web site as part of its "fight the smears" effort. Factcheck.org and other organizations examined the document in person and declared it genuine: "Our conclusion: Obama was born in the U.S.A. just as he has always said." But posters at the PUMA sites were unimpressed: "Nobody believes it's for real, except the Kool-Aid drinkers themselves." The 'Birthers' Began on the Left,JOHN AVLON, 02.07.10.

    Trump was a Donald come lately to the very DP birther movement.

    True. Obama is as phony as a three dollar bill, but most politicians, if not all. from both sides of the aisle have to be PC, or they get butchered by the liberal MSM. That's how B.Hussein Obama got nominated in the first place.

    Yeah, apparently he changed the name of it before it was published. But the point is, the Kenya thing didn't just come from nowhere. If it was just racism, people might have said, "he's from Africa", but Kenya is pretty specific, and it's clear where it came from. And I'm sure some people found it quite suspicious that such a bio was allowed to stand for 16 years...right up until it became politically inconvenient. Obama himself holds a great deal of responsibility for birthing birtherism.

    Even if that was a valid argument it doesn't excused those who continued it even after he released his BC in 2008!
