Paul Horner, writer of fake news about 2016 election, found dead

PHOENIX -- A leading purveyor of fake news in the 2016 presidential election has died outside Phoenix at the age of 38.

Maricopa County Sheriff's Office spokesman Mark Casey said Tuesday authorities discovered Paul Horner dead in his bed on Sept. 18.

Casey said the Maricopa County medical examiner performed an autopsy which showed there were no signs of foul play. He said Horner had a history of prescription drug abuse and that "evidence at the scene suggested this could be an accidental overdose."

Horner was known for writing false stories and disseminating internet hoaxes that often went viral on Facebook and hoodwinked thousands of people.

They included a story falsely claiming former President Obama was gay and a radical Muslim, and another saying protesters were being paid thousands of dollars to demonstrate at Donald Trump's campaign rallies.

11. First in the US. Look for more to join all the dead Russians, anything to halt Mueller.

Manafort and Stone et al better get bodyguards.

[Hortensis]

14. Well, this creep was pulling WITH our Dark Money and Russian forces.

It would make better sense to look the other direction for a conspiracy. "Chuck and Nancy"? Warren Buffet?

Disclaimer: No, I am not really suggesting we knocked this despicable jerk off.

[brush]

16. How many Russians has Putin had killed so they couldn't talk? That's the angle I'm talking about.

[Hortensis]

17. I understand. But those were all people who got in his way.

I'm guessing we agree on good riddance for this decriment to humanity.

[brush]

22. Of course, I just think his death is connected to the death of all the Russians.

IMO Someone doesn't want what he knew to get to Mueller.

[Hortensis]

23. Okay. Certainly there are a lot of dead Russians.

[bettyellen]

2. What a damaged individual spreading hatred like that

[lapfog_1]

4. Alex Jones is going to go bananas over this

other than that... I really don't know how I feel about it.

[dalton99a]

5. Burn in hell.

[Shrike47]

6. No loss to the world. No loss at all.

[oasis]

7. Andrew Breitbart gets a domino playmate to make his stay in hell

less like an eternity. "you won't be needing that overcoat pal".

[VOX]

8. A hatemonger died. That's one less hatemonger in the world.

God knows there are enough.

[radical noodle]

9. Killed by the trumps

before he could spill the beans, right?

[JNelson6563]

10. Strung out on opioid I'd wager.

[Doreen]

12. This is just fake news.

[arthritisR_US]

13. Karma..she's alive and well.

[ATL Ebony]

15. Oh well, 1 down. Such a black soul, too bad he chose the crooked, lying path in life.

[joet67]

18. I am happily grave-dancing.

[BeyondGeography]

19. Sad

Not.

[Achilleaze]

20. republicans like Horner pissed on, then killed honesty & truth

Now "accidental overdose" karma has come to call.

Sad.

Whole republican lie machine is sad, way beyond sad.

[Orrex]

21. Regardless of our thoughts about Horner and his work, a death like this is always sad

Sad because, in this case, it should have happened 38 years ago.

Fuck him.



And to my lurking fans from Conservative Sewer and The Disasterist, I invite you to go fuck yourselves as well.

[niyad]

24. I wish I believed in hell, because that is certainly where this fucking bastard belongs.

[lindysalsagal]

25. How very Kremlin of him.

But we'll never really know....

[briv1016]

26. Mueller must've gotten too close.

[VOX]

27. Look for tRump-assholes to somehow blame liberals, atheists, Democrats, etc.

Or as the #1 Russian stooge would think aloud: "Who would want this wonderful man dead?" And from there, it's a short hop into "deep-state" horseshit.

[Vogon_Glory]

28. A Bad Vogon Eulogy

The post I just read

Found dead in his bed
And this news has cred.

[RhodeIslandOne]

29. What a shame

Condolences to anyone who might have gave a shit about him.
