"He wasn't born here" is all about race. What is your basis for that conclusion? There is nothing I can see in the material you offered to demonstrate it. All I've seen demonstrated is that some people are really, really hostile to him and have come up with a remarkable panoply of weird ways of demonizing him. To me it looks like a scattergun approach. Throw enough different kinds of crap and maybe something will have the magic sticking power needed to take him down. Some people may actually think him to be, say, a communist or a traitor and their hostility is based on that. Others may simply be indiscriminately using any available tool in the toolkit simply because he's a Democrat. If there's some basis for claiming that "communist" and "traitor" are code for "black" or that the toolkit is being raided because he's black rather than simply a liberal or a Democrat, I have yet to find it. So can you connect the dots?
