Obama accuser has long rap sheet ~ Politico
Excellent synopsis on "Obama's accuser" by Ben Smith at Politico.

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0608/11164.html">POLITICO

Larry Sinclair is wanted in Colorado, but you can catch him today at the National Press Club.

Sinclair is familiar to political junkies and reporters as the source of outlandish allegations about Senator Barack Obama, tales that began with sex and drugs and moved on to murder.

The Duluth, Minnesota, resident is the sort of figure who appears at the margins of every presidential campaign, and both Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton had their own obscure accusers with dramatic allegations. But as the old media ignores him, Sinclair has taken full advantage of the Internet, and a video in which he makes his claims that have been viewed more than 900,000 times on YouTube.

This afternoon, he's reserved the Holeman Lounge at downtown Washington's National Press Club
to try to lend his story the legitimacy that comes with national media attention.


Also a shout out to http://themitchandnanshow.wordpress.com/">The Mitch and Nan Show who have done much of the legwork on Obama's YT accuser.

I've enjoyed reading there as well.

Satire mixed with investigative reporting is how I would describe them.

15. "Mitch and Nan" update from todays "event".
http://themitchandnanshow.wordpress.com/

"UPDATE…..UPDATE…..UPDATE

Our “exclusive” reporter is inside the press event, seated and ready.

We just received a text message. There are about 50 “people” in the event. He questions how many are actually reporters.

There are 6 TV “type” cameras there. None are representing major media outlets as far as he can tell.

We will NOT be receiving very many updates during the event as his job is to report, photograph and record.

We will let you know ANYTHING we receive as soon as we get it."
