I'm removing this.

1. I'd be skeptical of anything that turns up on Newsmax.

[yeoman6987]

4. Agree. The whole thing seems outrageous and slimmy

Things this president never emphasized before and don't seem him starting now.

[virtualobserver]

2. Ed Klein writes from his imagination, or as he calls it, his "source"

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. His "source" whence he pulled this story is a very dark, smelly place.

[oasis]

3. Newsmax is as right wing as "journalism" can get.

[Ichigo Kurosaki]

10. A RW family member sent it to me

I looked at the source but wasn't too familiar with this Ed guy.
It didn't look like RW propaganda so I thought about asking here.

11. You have to figure mainstream media would be all over this story

if it checked out to be true. They would never stick their necks out and publish anything concerning Biden from an unreliable source. Biden entering the race would be huge news.

5. Sounds like race baiting bullshit to me

Nothing I'd love to see more than the president pulling the rug out from under Hillary Clinton, but I don't believe for one minute that he would attach any conditions to his support, especially conditions like that.

7. Tight-lipped PBO provides SEVERE response to leaking. Definitely NOT TRUE

[RufusTFirefly]

8. Major fail!

I'm not a Biden supporter, but I know bullshit when I smell it.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. It smells like bullshit because the author found it

inside his own intestinal tract, which is the source of most Newsmax stories.

12. Ed Klein? The same guy who said Bill Clinton raped Hillary...

Now there's a reliable source...

[Ichigo Kurosaki]

14. I had never heard of him before, my bad... [nt]

[Cali_Democrat]

17. No worries....a lot of people have never heard of him

He's basically known for saying outrageous shit.

Here's more info on him...

20. The message is don't use NewMax or any Murdoch rag as your source

[madamesilverspurs]

13. Encourage him to run as a lame duck?

Yeah, right.

What's that smell?!

[demwing]

15. Does that sound like Obama?

not a chance...

[murielm99]

16. This is a new low.

Newsmax as a source?

You should be ashamed. How this place has fallen!

[still_one]

19. Hell, anything that Ed Klein writes, and that anyone uses on DU as a source should be an

embarrassment to that person

You are right, this is a new low

[murielm99]

22. This is one of the things I have always found

great about DU. I learned things, as you just did. I learned about right-wing think tanks and news sources. I learned who the players were. I learned history that was never taught in school. Even though I am a lifelong Democrat, there was always so much to learn here. I am glad that is still working for someone.

Lately, the only thing I seem to be learning here is that most of Bernie's supporters hate everyone who does not agree with them. I am glad that is not true all the time!

Welcome to DU.

p.s. I don't care whom you support. It was great to watch this post evolve throughout the evening.

[beam me up scottie]

23. Speaking of hate, I learned that some HC supporters will rec anything negative about Bernie.

Including anti-Semitic ops calling Bernie a racist and using racial slurs:

What's great is watching you try to take the high road.
