Controversy with Barack Obama

In 2008 Hillary Clinton made several incendiary comments about the candidacy of Barack Obama.

Hillary Clinton top advisor Sidney Blumenthal, and his son, Max Blumenthal, were the origin of the rumors in 2008 that Barack Hussein Obama was a Muslim in order to stir up fear among white Democrats and women, intended for Hillary's benefit. McClatchy Washington Bureau Chief James Asher relayed "Mr. Blumenthal and I met together in my office and he strongly urged me to investigate the exact place of President Obama’s birth, which he suggested was in Kenya." Snope's has identified a claim that a 1991 promotional booklet by Barack Obama's then-literary agency, Acton & Dystel, touted Obama as "born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii" as being true.

Hillary Clinton's 2008 campaign team then began spreading Islamophobic rumors that Obama was a Muslim schooled in a madrassa as a child in Indonesia. A group registered as People United Means Action (PUMA), which members say really stands for Party Unity My Ass, was made up of Hillary Clinton supporters who not only opposed Barack Obama's nomination but also sought to delegitimitize his Presidency. PUMA members charged that the media directed sexism and misogyny at Clinton during the primary campaign and expressed anger at Democratic Party leaders' failure to speak out or otherwise respond appropriately.

Hillary Clinton had revieved a majority of votes in the 2008 Democratic primaries and PUMA felt the Superdelegates robbed Hillary of the nomination.
