Talk:Barack Obama citizenship conspiracy theories

Semi-protected edit request on 15 March 2022
Remove "people who doubted Obama's citizenship were racist or republican."

It was a conspiracy spread among people of all political preference, and it is just as wrong to assume anyone with a negative view on someone who happens to be "of color" is always racist or republican. ("Of color" is a racist term by the way. We all have color in our skin) 2601:187:8380:5330:19C7:77AA:CF14:473E (talk) 07:55, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Here's a link: https://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/election/article102354777.html.  Apparently racist Clinton supporters were among those who *started* the rumor.   There is no evidence that republican's are notably more racist than democrats.   https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/are-white-republicans-more-racist-than-white-democrats/ . 135.84.167.43 (talk) 16:53, 31 August 2023 (UTC)  Personally I would remove the "republicans" part.   It's speculative and the association with the word "racist" seems pointed and inaccurate. 135.84.167.43 (talk) 18:54, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

Incorrectly linked
this article was incorrectly linked to a "birther" conspiracy theory promoted by Andrew Sullivan regarding Sarah Palin's biological motherhood of her son Trig. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Sullivan RemusLupinWolfe (talk) 03:53, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

Remove the word "conspiracy"
In order for it to be a conspiracy the conspiracy suggestions are needed. From what I have read - I haven't seen any suggestion of a conspiracy. Therefore - it's just a thoery or rumor at worst. But definetly no a conspiracy theory. Norbert427 (talk) 17:45, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The theories suggests that some people conspired to hide the "truth" about Obama's citizenship and place of birth. Therefore a conspiracy theory. -- Escape Orbit  (Talk) 17:51, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Exactly. For example, there are people who said Obama's birth certificate was forged. Yet officials from the State of Hawaii repeatedly have said it is genuine. If the officials are lying, they are in on the conspiracy; if the officials have been duped, there was a conspiracy to insert a false document into Hawaii's records (Obama could not have done it alone); if his parents lied about his place of birth, they conspired; etc. Weazie (talk) 22:03, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Hilary Clinton's role in the Controversy
This article is notably lacking Hilary Clinton's role in launching the controversy by means of her comments during the Democratic Primary campaign against Barack Obama. The source of this claim and the facts and history should be added to this article. For example, a discussion is found here. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2016/sep/16/donald-trump/fact-checking-donald-trumps-claim-hillary-clinton-/ 2601:18F:E80:894B:ECC6:DB8B:A91E:ADA1 (talk) 11:18, 24 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Did you read the Barack_Obama_citizenship_conspiracy_theories section? Here's another ref: Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 13:16, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
 * one thing that is actually missing is any mention of the Obama "turban photo" that his campaign alleged was spread by the Clinton campaign (and a broader contextualization of how the Clinton campaign at least passively hoped to profit from birtherism).

 * Per your source, that seems to be about Barack Obama religion conspiracy theories, and it's mentioned there. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 07:21, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
