The Ur-Birther

The Ur-Birther:

1. "Mark Penn, “senior strategist”";
2. "Clinton aides claim Obama photo wasn't intended as a smear";
3. "@HillaryClinton So why did your man #sidblumenthal spread the #obama birther rumor to me in 2008, asking us to investigate? Remember?";
4. "Clinton Adviser Sid Blumenthal Spread Birther Story — Editor" (which explains why, despite Hillary's intense lobbying, Barry refused to hire Sid);
5. "Hillary's email friend Blumenthal accused of spreading birther smear in 2008 after Clinton campaign admits volunteer did too".

Note that the standard official Hillary cover-up was that it was a 'supporter', who was promptly fired, who started birtherism (see here, here and, in truly embarrassing straw-man parsing, here), but it actually went right to the top, to Hillary's 'guru' Sid Blumenthal.
