Sleazy smear on Obama at WorldNetDaily
WorldNetDaily has been publishing some outrageously vile smears against Barack Obama, the most recent of which involves an accusation on YouTube by a Larry Sinclair. Sinclair claims to have had sex and done cocaine with Obama in 1999.

Here's my satirical response, complete with links to the WND articles in question:

In 1990, I had gay sex with Joseph Farah, the founder, editor, and CEO of WorldNetDaily, in the back of a Chevy conversion van in Sacramento, California, while he smoked “ice” methamphetamine and I snorted powder methamphetamine provided by Mr. Farah.

My story has been ignored by the media, prompting me to make this confession here, on my blog, on the Internet. I’m willing to take a polygraph test to prove the validity of my story, as long as WhiteHouse.com agrees to pay me $10,000 for taking the test, as they’ve done for one Larry Sinclair, who had an encounter similar to mine in 1999.

I am also considering filing a federal lawsuit against Mr. Farah and representing myself in court, as long as someone will pay the filing fee.

Mr. Farah has published a story detailing the http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=56626">similar accusations made against Barack Obama by Mr. Larry Sinclair and placed the story as the top headline at WorldNetDaily.

Mr. Farah also published a story accusing Obama’s foreign policy advisors and financial backers of http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=45777">“providing international assistance to the terrorist group (Hamas)…and support(ing) appeasing jihadists.” In addition, Mr. Farah published a story accusing Obama’s pastor of http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=59887">“suggest(ing) white America had the 9/11 attacks coming” and of praising a Muslim leader “who has described whites as ‘blue-eyed devils’ and Jews as ‘bloodsuckers.’”

More to the point, Mr. Farah published an article that mentions http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=59600">“the level of devotion Sen. Barack Obama has to Islam” and quotes a blogger named “Ric,” who suggests that Obama’s church is racist, puts Africa and Africans above God, and promotes communism.

There you have it. Based on his behavior and associations, Barack Obama is guilty of being a Muslim-loving, white- and Jew-hating, drug-using, terrorist-supporting, communist sympathizing and jihadist appeasing Sodomite who thinks the US deserved to be attacked on 9/11. If “a blogger named ‘Ric’” says such things on the Internet, reputable news sites are certainly free to publish them without losing their integrity.

Calls to Mr. Farah were not returned.

1. WorldNetDaily is not to be trusted, believed, looked at...
...hell, let it sink into its own morass. It makes Newsmax look like the Washington Post on all counts.

8. Unfortunately, it's backed by big bucks and influential evangelicals
WND started with $4.5 million dollars. Founder and editor and CEO Farah helped write Rush Limbaugh's "See, I Told You So," was a big player in the smear campaign aimed at suggesting Vince Foster was murdered (by whom? the Clintons, natch), and also helped get NewsMax.com online.

These people are whacked, but they sure have stroke.

16. It's not allowed to be used as a source, or not allowed to be referred to at all?
Just curious. Maybe I'm missing something.

14. I think it's well worth showing WND for what they are
Though the Vince Foster smear is still alive and kicking. The poor guy took his own life, and the sleaze peddlers took advantage.

20. For $10,000...
I too would be willing to take a lie detector test even if it exposed my stories about smoking crack in a limo with Abraham Lincoln to be wildly exagerrated.

13. I think it was locked because of my reply...if not, I have to say I just don't get it
Satire is supposed to piss people off, but usually it's the targets that get pissed. Sorry if you're offended.

25. How ridiculous. Everyone knows that Hillary
is a socialist and Kissinger is a Chinese agent.
