JEFFREY LORD: You know, who is telling the truth? To take off from the mayor's suggestion here. Let me just give you a recent incident here. The whole birther situation. The entire media was saying it was not true that the Clinton campaign was connected to it. I can just tell you I heard from lots and lots of people out there, who were sending me chapter and verse, that it was so. My point is --

JAKE TAPPER (HOST): What he said was, “Hillary Clinton started it-- Hillary Clinton and her campaign started it, I ended it.” That's not true, that's not true. 

LORD: Sidney Blumenthal is a Clinton ally right?

TAPPER: Not on the campaign.

[...]

TAPPER: Jeffrey the larger point about birtherism. It was started in 2004 by this person in Chicago named Andy Martin and that's how it actually started. Just FYI. 

LORD: I'm not talking about birtherism per se here. What I'm trying to illustrate is the moment a moderator gets into that you're going to have people all over the country forget the issue.
