CBS News: Obama & Right-Wing Conspiracy Theorists

As a matter of interest only and I observe the thread being kept current this morning, I would mention in passing, the Bill Cunningham radio show which starts at 10am EST. I managed to catch the last of it yesterday. Bill touched on the controversy. From his comment and I may be wrong, he has had on Phillip Berg, the lawyer previously. He is toying with the idea of bringing on Mr Berg.

Bill was wise enough to say that "only one percent of him could believe Barack Obama was born outside of America". Still, he did say that surely the actual details of his birth are what the people are entitled to know.

I figure the young idealistic and vulnerable young Stanley Ann Dunham, would not have wanted to leave her best friend- her mother, in her condition. Only by a flight of fancy on my part could I imagine the older, suave predator of women taking her to Kenya as a trophy wife.

Still, who really knows?

Ok - sorry about that - strike the “you” from that sentence. I suspect you didn’t know the warrant was so limited because Sinclair and his real pals neglect to mention it (even though Sinclair once had the full warrant on his site!).

I don’t believe Sinclair disputes that there was a real incident that led to the warrant being issued. I suspect he was trying on some type of fraud at the time, but even if it was a genuine misunderstanding, there was a hotel manager/owner who did file a complaint against Sinclair to the police sometime around the end of last year just after he stayed there which precipitated a warrant being issued a few weeks later when they could not find him (he had left the state soon after the incident).

So there was a criminal complaint against Sinclair which the authorities in Delaware took seriously enough to issue a warrant for. This is not really that surprising — I am sure there are hundreds of such warrants issued in Delaware every year.

I *would* be surprised if Joe Biden’s son had anything to do with it, or even knew who Larry Sinclair was, let alone that he knew that Larry was being sought in connection with a criminal complaint in Delaware. As for the execution of the warrant when Larry came to Washington, I covered that in my previous comment. I am sure he’s not the first person arrested on an out-of-state warrant to languish a couple of nights in jail, and he won’t be the last. Even if he was innocent (the charges were dropped), innocent people get wrongfully arrested all the time — especially those who have had as many encounters with law enforcement as Sinclair has!)

You have to understand that for Larry, it’s *all* about him. He actually believes that the only reason Obama selected Joe Biden as his running mate was to reward Biden for getting his son, Beau Biden, to arrest him and get him out of the way. I mean, how self-centered and deluded can you get?

All Sinclair had to do from the beginning was produce some solid evidence that his original story (now almost buried by the mass of conspiracy theories he has concocted) of his encounter with Obama was true. Instead we got a lurid tale of $750,000 bribes, contract killings, and false arrest that even Dan Brown would have rejected as being too implausible.

I must admit that it’s been very entertaining following the saga from the beginning — I even thought he might be telling the truth until the fiasco with the lie detector test (not because of the results, but because of Sinclair’s ridiculous accusations and antics afterwards.) Almost every week he would come out with a new, ever more outlandish claim that someone was out to get him. I believe he now expects us to believe that he’s about to bring down the whole Democratic Party establishment with his new revelations about what happened to him this year. I’m surprised he’s not going to expose the New World Order and the Illuminati while he’s at it.

If Obama was really worried about Sinclair and conniving enough to resort to felony crimes like bribery and false arrest to silence him, then I suspect he would have done a much better job of it.

I have come to the conclusion that Sinclair is simply just a pathological, lying scumbag. He even swore to a Colorado court that he was terminally ill with a brain tumor... back in 2001 — nearly 8 years ago. Even if his original claim is entirely true, the fact that the only evidence he has is his own testimony, the accusation utterly worthless. Without corroboration from witnesses or documentation that puts Obama in that limo and/or hotel room with him, nobody has reason to trust anything he says.
