From the article you posted: Two Republican presidential candidates claim the so-called “birther” movement originated with the Hillary Clinton campaign in 2008. While it’s true that some of her ardent supporters pushed the theory, there is no evidence that Clinton or her campaign had anything to do with it.Originally Posted by Richard Davis
The difference being of course to anyone who can think past their nose, is that those "conspiracy theories" were not pushed by the conservative media the way the leftist media did push the Russia collusion theory.
They not only pushed it, they literally LIVED It 24/7/365 for 2 entire years. It was how CNN and MSNBC both made their respective livings.
And to correct your not only short but your faulty memory, the Birther thing was started by Hilary Clinton herself
So maybe you need a refresher course in Political History as well.
You fools on the left sure don't have a clue about much, but the birther thing, it was started by Hilary Clinton and your precious factcheck.org confirms that fact.

From that article:
Politico, April 22, 2011: The answer lies in Democratic, not Republican politics, and in the bitter, exhausting spring of 2008. At the time, the Democratic presidential primary was slipping away from Hillary Clinton and some of her most passionate supporters grasped for something, anything that would deal a final reversal to Barack Obama.
As well as this from the article:
The second article, which ran several days after the Politico piece, was published by the Telegraph, a British paper, which stated: “An anonymous email circulated by supporters of Mrs Clinton, Mr Obama’s main rival for the party’s nomination, thrust a new allegation into the national spotlight — that he had not been born in Hawaii.”
Is there anything else that you need me to educate you on, Pete?
I don't mind in the least!
LOL
You call that an education? Good thing you never went into teaching. LOL Tell me Richard, was it the democrats and the liberal media that pushed the birther issue or people like President Trump and others like yourself and the right wing media? Talk about a faulty memory.
