Comments on Advance Indiana™: Will Obama's Indiana Truth Squad Address The Larry Sinclair Story?

To go way out on a limb here - the possibility that someone in this day and age (I mean Obama) would believe they could hide their status as a drug-using "on the dl" homosexual while running as the first black presidential candidate is not believable. Larry Sinclair might believe the black man he had sex and drugs with that evening was Obama. But I doubt it. Black men in this country are constantly suspected of being all kinds of secret things that are not understood by "typical" white people, including: muslims, terrorists and now "on the DL". Oprah popularized this black identity a few years ago. The attempt to peg this one on Obama is totally transparent. I could publish a book tomorrow about black men's secret lives as rodeo clowns and if I went on Oprah, I guarantee someone somewhere would speculate that maybe this is what Obama is hiding - his secret rodeo clown-hood. All of these smears are possible not just because Obama is less wellknown than other politicians, but also because he is black and even today, many white americans will admit, when polled, they have never even been in a black family's home. If you spend the time investigating Larry's "evidence" (and you may want to take a shower afterwards), you will see there is nothing credible (legally or otherwise). And hey, I encourage you - check it out. Make up your own mind. But this poor troubled dude is being used by a bunch of people who have their own reasons to block Barack. It's sad. Even more so if he genuinely had this encounter and believes it really was Barack. But then the whole thing about how Barack could supposedly afford coke but chose crack, hmm...rings a bit obviously racist for my taste.

Sinclair's story is not crazy; I think it probably happened, but it most likely was not Obama. Without the testimony of the limo driver, this case hinges solely on the credibility of Sinclair's identification of Obama. Sinclair might actually believe it was Obama (hence his seemingly truthfulness, lie detector results aside), but the alleged encounter took place in 1999 and Sinclair first idenitified Obama in 2004. That Obama admits to haveing used drugs adds absolutely nothing to Sinclair's veracity. Ok, it exludes all the black guys in Chicago who never did drugs.

I'm no lawyer, but it would seem to me that if the limo driver has not been found and deposed and deemed credible, and someone in the media published this story and put Obama's candidacy in disarray on the basis of an ID made 5 years after the encounter and reported 3 years after that, I think that that media person would be in deep trouble for a host of civil and, perhaps, criminal charges.
Larry blew it, I think, when he said that he didn't know who Obama was until 2004. I think Larry's story is a true one, I just don't believe that he really knows who the black guy was that he gave the bj to. Remember, this all took place while Larry was drinking and doing drugs - that doesn't help one's memory too much.

A load of baloney from attention-seeking hakcs, the blogger and a for-drug-prostituting-faggot whose, imaginary story he/she is telling. Both the blogger and the faggot ( I say that with qualification because this homo-sex-for-drug prostitute is not gay. He is a faggot. To be gay is to be a sensible and decent homosexual. To be a faggot is to a cruel, criminal and remorseless homosexual hack who would not hesitate to drag the good names of people he imagines tapping his arsehole. These two are are losers and blogging-goons, trying to high-tech-lynch Barack Obama. For your information, Newsweek and New York Times both did an indepth investigation about Obama's use of drugs to see if there was more to it than was revealed in his books. I guess their research department did not find about this faggot. Why not call them up and offer yoru story? I am sure they will pay you enough money for all the crack you can sniff till you go six feet under. NY Times and Newsweek concluded that Obama actually consumed less drugs than he claimed in his book. They suggested that Obama may have embelished on his drug use a little bit to spike his street cred. These two bean heads are out to convince the world that know otherwise. They think they have a bombshell of a story to tell the world, a story that unmasks a formidable stench that the Hounds of NY Times and Newsweek missed. A load of dog crap.

2008-04-06T09:38:00.000-05:00

I'm not sure we really know why the media hasn't reported this story. If it's because they've done their investigations and found no credibility, the public should be informed. If not, are they investigating? In the interest of full disclosure I'm a Clinton supporter, but that doesn't mean I believe any candidate's character should be attacked unfairly. Too much of that has already been done on both sides.

Since the media seems unwilling - how about influential Obama supporters? Why not contact the super delegates or Oprah or similar? They have just as good resources to get to the bottom of this, would automatically be discreet, would probably want insulation if it's true - or be able to factually document why it's not.

Thanks for answering my question.

Indyfacts, She registered domain names he would likely use for his congressional campaign and had them pointing to her TDW site. She is also a leading suspect in the case of the registration of "fakerepublican.com", which points to a post on my site discussing Elrod's position on gay rights.

2008-04-02T11:33:00.000-05:00

The problem with using Larry's poor character or poor judgment as an excuse for not taking these charges seriously, is that what person of good character or good judgment would ever be witness to this type of acts or behavior. Only people with similar or like character would be present to witness a gay sex act while smoking crack in the back of a limo.
Therefore it makes me really question Obama's judgment and character.
I'd like to thank Larry Sinclair for his courage to come forward and speak out about his illegal past. Maybe Obama should follow your lead.

2008-04-02T10:57:00.000-05:00

Larry, I believe you made a mistake in typing. You stated that Young has filed and affidavit with the Chicago police. I know you meant to say Sinclair. Just thought I would point it out to you.

Hang in there Larry and show the world what a fraud Obama is. He is not fit to be president. Good Luck and take care.

2008-04-02T10:17:00.000-05:00

The problem with a "public discussion" of the merits of this kind of thing is that just having the discussion is damaging. If --and there's no good way of telling; I agree that polygraphs are next to useless -- it's just some guy making stuff up, that's unfair to the candidate.

It reminds me of the exchange I've heard attributed to LBJ to the effect of:

"Let's call him a pigfucker."

"But you know he doesn't fuck pigs."

"Yeah, but I just want him to have to publicly deny fucking pigs."

2008-04-02T08:53:00.000-05:00

Putting aside for a moment that you actually believe this guy's BS (or pretend to take it seriously because lord knows, just having people talk about it is enough to damage Obama), I'm trying to figure out if you want Obama to have done more drugs or less drugs. If he didn't do many drugs, he's a liar, if he did lots of drugs, he's just another crackhead running for president. So which is it? You can't have it both ways.
And one person's idea of doing "lots" of drugs can vary pretty widely from the next persons. There's not a exactly a quantitative measure of how many drugs puts you into the "druggie" category. I mean, although I don't smoke pot, I don't really think smoking it every once in a while is an issue. Ask my mother on the other hand and she will tell you that you're a hard core druggie.

2008-04-02T08:35:00.000-05:00

Gee Gary, this is such a wild story that I'm surprised you are running with it to this extent.

It doesn't pass the smell test that a smart fellow or an elected official would be at the beck and call of a limo driver, nor would he be at the beck and call of a stranger asking him to score drugs for him.

If you want to believe this fellow so badly, I'd suggest he had a fling with a black guy and wants it to have been Obama.

But, come on Gary. Your judgment is impaired for some reason on this one.

2008-04-02T07:57:00.000-05:00

That'a a fair point, yourbartender. Obama can consider himself lucky that he was never caught. But for the grace of God . . . as they say.

2008-04-02T07:54:00.000-05:00

It should be mentioned that Gov. Daniels was arrested for marijuana possession and distribution while he was in college in 1970 as a result of a 5 month investigation, so he was probably dealing weed and who knows what else for quite some time prior.

At least Obama was not that stupid.

I've often wondered just how much Daniels got busted with. Urban legend says it was a Nike shoe box full of weed and LSD. LSD was legal until 1971. Given the more lenient sentencing of the times, it would not surprise me if the laws would have prevented him from achieving so much in his life if it had happened a few years later.

2008-04-02T07:21:00.000-05:00

Doug, I have an open mind on it. It strikes me as very odd that Obama went out of his way to lay out drug use in his 1995 book, but his friends recall a much different young man. It's also odd that he attempted to build up his father in this same book who had walked out of his life when he was 2. He's a complicated person to dissect. I spoke to Sinclair on the phone for about 90 minutes the other night. He was very sure of himself on what he knew. He was consistent in his story. At least it was consistent with his video and the radio interviews he's given that I listened to, which are posted on his site. On the other hand, he's obviously no boy scout. Our court systems have to decide every day whether someone is to be disbelieved because of bad decisions they've made in their past. People who are thought to have led good lives are given the benefit of the doubt when questioned about transgressions often, while people who have made a lot of mistakes tend not to be. Good people are capable of doing bad things just like people who've done bad things are capable of telling the truth.

2008-04-02T07:15:00.000-05:00

2008-04-02T05:01:00.000-05:00

i think it is only fair to give this story its due credit and investigate mr. obama just as intensely as everyone inspects mrs. clinton and mr. mccain. he has to withstand this inspection or we are buying a "pig-in-a-poke". being on the downlow is a big part of the gay black community. its also a cause for much of the hiv transmission in black women. if we feel free to ask chelsea about mrs. clinton's reaction to monica, then why aren't they asking michelle about larry. i also think that this country spends way too much time worried about what people do in their bedrooms. but if baracko is using crack and screwing men then we need to know it.

2008-04-02T00:16:00.000-05:00

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. That was a very honest and fair article on a very important matter. I have to say that I believe Larry. He sounds very credible and sincere in his radio interviews,and he deserves to have these charges investigated on a serious level. I have witnessed the lies, and name calling that have been spread throughout the internet in an effort to discredit him. He has received many death threats from the aggressive and angry Obama supporters. Yet the MSM refuses to touch this story, for what I believe is fear of the fallout. I am feeling like the U.S. media is behaving more like Russia, or Communist China. Reporting only what they want us to know. What happened to "we report, you decide?"
