Doesn't bother to tell anyone she is funded by the RNC. How on earth did they miss that?:sarcasm:

FOX News Gives Crackpot Clinton Fan Undeserved Credibility Because She’s Now Supporting McCain
Reported by Ellen - June 11, 2008 - 107 comments

Hannity & Colmes hosted crackpot Cristi Adkins, a die-hard Hillary Clinton fan who is now supporting John McCain. Adkins’ website makes the outlandish accusation that Obama is “the home-grown terrorist sleeper cell.” But FOX News treated her like a credible guest (though both hosts seemed at least a tad incredulous about her) and seemed to take her word that she represented millions of Americans. UPDATE: Adkins' website is very likely owned by RNC. With video.

Adkins said she was there as part of some coalition called, “Just Say No Deal.” The website states: “We are a coalition of millions with one thing in common: NObama.” According to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Adkins is making the rounds on political TV shows, asking other Clinton backers to pledge money and time to defeat Obama.

Adkins reiterated on the air, without being challenged, the dubious claim that her coalition represents millions. If website visits are any guide, she was way off base. As this Alexa graph shows, justsaynodeal.com doesn’t even appear on a graph comparing traffic on our site (and our visits are in the thousands) to theirs. Adkins' own site, clintons4mccain.com, barely makes it into the graph.
