Sidney Blumenthal is a long-time Clinton surrogate and advisor known for attacks on Clinton opponents. He has defended the Clinton's through decades of scandal investigations.[1] He has also worked for Media Matters and as an operative within the User:RobSmith/Clinton Foundation.

Blumenthal was hired in the Bill Clinton White House in August 1997 as a speech writer and advisor on globalization.[2]

Blumenthal is known to be the source of racist and Islamophobic attacks on candidate Barack Obama including allegations which became known as the birther movement during the Hillary Clinton 2008 presidential campaign. In early 2009, the Obama White House barred Blumenthal from serving in the Obama administration and the Clinton State Department after identifying him as responsible for false rumors and attacks against candidate Barack Obama.[3][4]

U.S. Federal Judge Richard Posner in his book, Intellectuals: A Study of Decline, referred to Blumenthal as being in the forefront.[5]
