2008, the Birth Certificate, and the Whitey Tape.

[MohRokTah]

We are experiencing a re-run of 2008 this year. Anybody who was around in 2008 will remember how Barack Obama's birth certificate was a "fraud" and the "REAL KENYAN Birth Certificate" would come out after his nomination and ruin it for the Democratic Party!

There was also the so-called "Whitey Tape" that had Michelle Obama on audio recording using the word "Whitey" and denigrating caucasian people. IT was going to come out after the convention and ruin it for Democrats, like the birth certificate.

The "FBI Investigation that will result in indictment" is just a re-run of these bogus non-issues. Same Shit, different primary election.

2. losing makes some people desperate.

Syd Blumenthal is the common element--he was pimping the Whitey tape story, one reason why the Obama folks considered him persona non grata.

3. I also remember the source of those

Along with the source of the demonization of Rev. Wright, the source of pictures of Obama during his trip to Somalia, and the source of birtherism itself.

5. I totally forgot about the Whitey Tape

Most of the GOP smears in 2008 originated in the primary from overzealous supporters. Republicans aren't really that original.
