Remember Larry Sinclair? Well, today was Polygraph day, and GUESS WHAT?!
He was LYING!

I know, I know--you knew it all along, and so did I. But some people ARE able to sneak through polygraphs (by believing they're telling the truth), and if the result was in any way positive, you know this incredibly silly accusation involving drugs, infidelity, and homosexuality would have been blown up big by the GOP.

Well, hate to disappoint McCain, Limbaugh, Murdoch, et al, but sometimes if it looks like a crackpot, walks like a crackpot, and quacks like a crackpot...

...it really IS a crackpot! Sorry, Larry.

(Thought Obama supporters could use some cheering up, re: Nader)

5. Yeah, because hard drugs and gay sex seem right in keeping with Obama's persona.
:sarcasm:

For the record I only knew about the polygraph after scrolling through Daily Kos while DU was on the fritz.

10. DU was on the fritz for you too?
I wondering because I couln't get on for a few minutes, and then it was like nothing had happened. Usually people start threads about that, but I didn't see anything afterwards.
Glad it's back now.

I thought I'd been kicked out for not being nasty enough here in the primaries discussions...Although I might jump negative on Nader a couple times just for shits 'n giggles......

53. One was a Hillary supporter who posts here frequently.
I am not going to name names but it was one of Hillary's biggest supporters here on DU. Of course if the tables were turned I am sure a couple of Obama supporters would have done the same thing.

and each time I told the person that emailed it that I refuse to even watch it, that
it is a bunch of shit.

9. I have to wonder just how low some people will go to try to
"take down" someone.

For the rest of this guys life, he's going to be held to one of the lowest standards any human can drag themselves down to.

I have to wonder how much money he received to bring out this "news". Speaking of money in things like this, (scandals), it has been said that Limbaugh's 3 ex-wives, received handsome payoffs for their silence on his escapades and lack of performance with the opposite sex.

Just wondering...hmmmmm

13. Well, the story never got that big, plus
he had a baseball cap and a beard on in every video. His name's not unusual, so he could probably just shave and lose thebaseball cap and return to relative anonymity. I doubt it will make much long-term difference.

30. Slams are fine. But when people post a photo of a man getting his head blown off...
in a thread about Hillary...well, that's beyond acceptable.

Most of us here don't go beyond the rules to "slam" other candidates. Some do. And they stay.

So I guess alert is our only resort.

should be alerted on, as well as a whole slew of other things...there are some things that some thnik are over the line, while others don't. A pic of a head being blown off is definately over the line.

11. Gotta give him props though...he made a quick $10,000
Though apparently he said he wanted to donate most of it to charity and pay off his Mom's medical bills. I guesss it's worth minor public humiliation.

28. I'm actually surprised. I thought the fix was in, or he was so delusional he actually believed it.
Disgusting that this story ever got any traction whatsoever. Way over the top.

Don't need any cheering up regarding Nader, though. He just continues to show himself to be a pompous twit. Very sad, given all the good he has done, but he has an ego like Lyndon LaRouche.

29. You can tell that the right wing wants Obama as their candidate
In the past, Matt Drudge would have had the siren blaring on this story. Remember "Clinton's Love Child" "Kerry's Mistress" "John Edward's Affair" and so many others falsely smearing Dems. But, interestingly, nothing even hinting at this from Drudge.

That says it all.

35. The right wing doesn't know what the hell it wants.
They aren't even sure that they want McCain as their nominee. I hope that they really do think that Obama is a flash in the pan who will be easy to beat in November. By the time they realize that he's for real it will be too late.

Doesn't matter if it was a lie. If you repeat it often enough, people will believe it.

60. Although its likely that Sinclair is a liar, polygraph tests
have all the scientific merit of voodoo or doodoo, which is why polygraph evidence is not admissible in court. personally I could not think of any reason why I would ever consent to a polygraph test.
