Debunking anti-Obama e-mails

Error-filled chain e-mails designed to scare voters away from Barack Obama are circulating widely on the Internet. Salon deconstructs a pair, one smearing the candidate, the other his wife.

    Debunked? Must be true then?

    oooh--the "debunk" word. Yeah, the NYT has been "debunking" the lone gunman in Dallas for nigh on 45 years, bunking away at extraordinary evidence, scholarship, and the total contempt of most of the public.

    If the powers that be don't want something to be believed they move in with their "debunkers" and heap ridicule, ignoring any legitimate criticism. One thing that makes me absolutely sure the Brzezinski machine and legions of Obama bloggers are out and about, is the way Google and Yahoo have been "scrubbed" of any information about Larry Sinclair coming from Larry Sinclair or his proponents. All you can find is his record (which he admits to anyway). I've listened to this man, and while I don't know about his motives, his information and delivery is pretty damn cogent and he's got witnesses.

    I wouldn't be at all surprised, from what I actually do know, that Obama is just a suit full of slime. Most who run -- or rather "are run" for this office are slimey, but at least they pay lip-service to being a servant of the people and upholder of the Constitution.

    Mrs. O is a contemptable sucker-up of tax payer largess (Princeton my butt; no wonder she hates them; she didn't belong there but wanted the prestige and now makes oodles of money.) And this sickening creature claims she is "oppressed?" Ich. You would not believe how she is despised by quite a few, not all white by any means.

    Keep trying Salon, but be careful. Because the word "debunk" just makes me know there's something the media doesn't want me to know. Whatever it is they are "debunking" is probably more true than anything the "debunkers" have to say.
