Let’s Stick to Facts, Please

This is what we posted back on August 11th: Obama ‘Birth Certificate’ Links Not Welcome.

This is a public notice that I’m going to be deleting any posted spinoff links that try to promote the “Obama birth certificate” nonsense. I’ve mentioned this several times in comments, but it apparently hasn’t been heard by enough people.

The story is absolute garbage, and it’s being promoted now by Larry “Michelle Obama Whitey Tape” Johnson, who has zero credibility.

If you think I’m an idiot who can’t see what’s right in front of me, and want to continue chasing this rabbit down the hole, it’s a simple matter to start a blog at Blogspot or Wordpress. Then you can get all the credit for it. In the highly unlikely event that the story is proven to be true, you can bask in the glory, and I’ll have a nice dinner of crow. Until then, please don’t post this stuff at LGF or it will be deleted.

Apparently, some people are either not getting this message or ignoring it, because I just had to delete more than a dozen links to various sites peddling this crap.

So this is the last warning. Anyone who posts a link to the “birth certificate” nonsense, the “Michelle Obama African interview” story, or to any of the other ugly rumors being circulated by unscrupulous characters, is going to lose their LGF account. You may be feeling desperate enough to want to use anything to win the election, but we’re not willing to throw away the credibility of LGF over this garbage.

Stinky and I don’t really like being hard asses, but enough is enough.

There is no such thing as a dirty word. Nor is there a word so powerful, that it's going to send the listener to a lake of fire upon hearing it.
