I give up:
Larry Sinclair is one of the most outrageous anti-Obama smear merchants. So why is the National Press Club hosting him this coming Wednesday? Apparently Jeff Gannon wasn’t available.Sinclair’s story about having used cocaine and having sex with Obama in 1999 is not credible. As Stoller says, it’s another “whitey” style rumor and we all know how quickly this stuff makes the leap from the right wing smear machine to Sean Hannity to Fox News and then alley-oops its way into the AP.
I really don’t know what to say. If the media is now going to talk to every crackpot out there, there used to be a lady who walks up and down High Street here in Morgantown with a bottle of bleach talking to herself. Maybe she can speak next month.
*** Update ***
Hrmm:
Some of the comments in the Kos post explain that if you call the NPC, they’ll tell you that the NPC rents event space to anyone and that they’ve got nothing to do with this guy: he reserved a room to speak and so his event automagically shows up on their calendar.
What is the over/under his presser ends up on Hardall anyway?

Unfuckingbelievable.

I have no idea if that’s true, but it would put a different slant on things.

As I said on the other thread, take a look at the comments on Sinclair’s blog. Lots of love for Larry Johnson there.

Is there something we can do? On the website it says they are not hosting the event..it’s sponsored by Veritas Federal Media, whoever that is. But obviously NPC has something to do with it. Any point in public pressure?
OriGuy
Apparently the National Press Club is just renting him a room to hold his presser in. He’s not speaking at an NPC event. Probably the Holiday Inn was booked.

On second, thought, don’t read the comments on Sinclair’s blog.

Oh and this was another one of those rumors pushed by those good “democrats” that so ferociously supported Hillary, you know the ones at HillaryIs44 and No Quarter. Of course given Wright got his National Press club gig from a prominent Hillary supporter one has to wonder how this rat-fucker got his gig. IIRC he was received like a star at some of those “gatherings” to protest the Rules Committee.

Sure, but were they snorting the cocaine off a Qur’an while roasting foie gras over a fire made from burning American flags and singing the Black Panther Anthem? In French?? While sodomizing boy scouts???
No?
You mean not yet... give it another month. Hell, two weeks at this rate.

I desperately want to believe you typoed that on purpose.

Well this seems to indicate that he has a warrant out for his arrest. I hope that the MPD arrests him for his outstanding warrant and he gets extradited back to Colorado.
funfunfun
obviously, everyone who can possibly go has to show up, ask him questions, and put that shit on the Tube. he will look RIDICULOUS. give Keith Olbermann something to run against clips of Sinclair’s 20-minute segment on Nightline.

The lowliest wino in the country, with a liver like a sea sponge and an odor that can only come from sleeping in dumpsters could, for the effort of panhandling enough change for a call to Fox News, be on national television if he contrived a smarmy enough story about the Obamas.
NR
Anyone? Really? Would the rent space out to the KKK? To Al-Queda?
Somehow I don’t think so. So hiding behind “we rent space to anyone” doesn’t fly.

This type of “press conference” is exactly how the SwiftBoaters launched into the MSM. No doubt it will be carried by Cspan & Fox.

It’s not even October yet.

I just did a Google search of “veritas federal media” and got nothing substantive in return. Did I misspell it or is it just a front for some shady people?
southpaw
I fully expect Sinclair to be on Meet the Press sometime in October if he doesn’t get thoroughly ridiculed in June, so I’m not sure I see the advantage in kicking this can down the road. Let’s get this guy defunded, debunked, deloused, and back to whatever institution he came from.

maybe you should. or take a break.

Does Barack Obama have ties to NAMBLA?
Otto Man
I believe this is the “we were just following

Don’t forget he’s a secret foreigner with a forged birth certificate. In that light, more likely MEMBLA (Middle Eastern Man Boy Love Association) or AMBLA (African Man Boy Love Association).

Any chance we can get his presser on COPS instead?

This is the same Larry Sinclair that was skulking in the hallways of the DNC Rules and Bylaws meeting?

I think Barack Obama is a Cylon with secret orders to destroy all life on earth. Maybe I should go alert the troops over at No IQ. I don’t think they’ve stumbled onto that one yet.

It’s just like in your earlier post about them Just Making Shit Up. They’ll just throw out anything cause they know somebody will believe it and repeat it, and once it’s been said by two people, it’s The Truthtm.
Recently, in a forum I read, somebody posted that they had read a “study” that said the amount of oil that could be drilled in ANWR is enough to meet US supply for 200 years, even assuming a 10% annual rate of increase in consumption.
Anyone who isn’t completely innumerate should see a problem with that, even if they didn’t feel like looking up the USGS report on the subject. I went ahead and did the math.
It would work out to be 15.1 quintillion (that’s 15 billion billion) barrels of oil consumed over that period. That’s something like 115 million times the the amount of oil Ghawar is expected to produce over its entire lifetime. That much oil is enough to cover all of ANWR to a depth of 14 thousand miles, or the entire state of Alaska to a depth of 639 miles. It would be roughly 1/4 the volume of the dwarf planet Pluto.

Didn’t someone offer him $100,000 if he could pass a lie detector on this, and he failed?
I guess the lie detector guy is in on it, too. Watch the skies, people!

More liberal lies. Pluto’s not a planet.
cleek
there’s oil on Pluto??
now we know that the decision to change its designation is part of a global conspiracy running from Obama Hussein bin Laden Saddam Barakk through the Good Old Boys network in DC through the Saudis and finally connecting to Mossad and the Chinese Plastics Lobby! they want to capture Pluto and drain it dry, at $3000/bbl!
it’s all here on this shocking video tape i’m preparing to make public, as soon as i obtain adequate security

Behind a the ‘news’ a bit eh? I posted about this four or five days ago when I saw it mentioned on His44, and nobody here said a peep about it. Better head in for a Outrage-O-Meter tune up people…lol!
So they ‘rent’ the place out for phony press conferences? Thanks for that tidbit of information because now I know to dismiss anything coming out of that place as inflated/contrived hype.
In other outrage news, I am hearing the right has a new and improved version of “Obama ain’t one of us!“, or more accurately interpreted, “Obama is BLACK
!. I was listening to Dan Abrams show on MSNBC, and several times I heard Pat Buchanan refer to Obama as “exotic“. Exotic?! I have never heard a Presidential candidate (or a President) referred to as “exotic“, but it didn’t take two seconds to figure out what Pat was implying.
Dan and the other guests on his show laughed at the label, but they did not challenge Buchanan to define what the word meant when he used it.
Exotic, the new black.

God damn it. Do I have to go to this shit and make fun of this whackaloon?
Why yes. I do.

I really don’t know what to say
I think that really says it all. Maybe it’s a super secret wingnut plan to be so stupid we all just stand around with our yappers agape in silence and they slip in and steal the Presidency.

You never hear about the haggard old destitute ass-slacken crackhead prostitutes that have nice things to say about Obama.

I can’t find anything on Veritas Federal Media (possibly because it doesn’t exist), but I thought the name Montgomery Sibley sounded familiar.
Honest whores, attention whores. It’s all the same to Monty.

Not to worry. Pappatard, as Larry Sinclair is known at this site, has been holding a fundraiser to rent that room at the National Press Club for at least a month. Hysterically funny details here. The guy at this site has been doing yeoman’s work in mocking the crap out of Larry (what’s up with guys named Larry, anyway?) and his merry band of conspiracy theorists and tinfoil hat appreciators. It isn’t a press conference. It’s a room rental.
Brachiator
More liberal lies. Pluto’s not a planet.
Pluto’s not a dwarf either.
Also, all the oil on Pluto was appropriated by Scrooge McDuck in 1949. Scrooge considered running for president until someone proved that his birth certificate was obviously faked, because ducks are not born, they are hatched.

I sure hope thats a typo, because the thought of Matthews or anyone who remotely looks like him sitting in front of a camera with his “little fella” at attention is more than one man can bare, as it were.

No fucking kidding. If this is what passes for critical thinking in this country, it’s no wonder we elected the boy genius twice. It’s like arguing with the more obnoxious creationists on talk.origins; they will literally say anything if it makes the other side look bad, regardless of whether it’s true or even coherent. The thread about Obama’s birth certificate is hilariously sad (or sadly hilarious, I can’t decide which).
