Larry Sinclair, the guy who claims he had gay sex and did drugs with Obama, is being given a national stage. He will be speaking at the National Press Club this Wednesday. I can only imagine the news we will be watching for the following weeks
Washington, D.C. - Despite death threats and an organized campaign to prevent him from speaking publicly, Larry Sinclair -- on June 18, 2008, at 2:00 PM (Sign in begins at 1:00 PM) in the Holeman Lounge of the National Press Club, 529 14th Street NW, Washington, DC 20045, will for the first time reveal the corroborating evidence for his claim that on November 6 + 7, 1999, Larry: (i) met Obama at a gay bar where Barrack Obama arranged for the purchase of federal Schedule II drugs, (ii) which Larry and Obama thereafter ingested and (iii) then engaged in hi-risk, homosexual activities.
Larry's story burst on to the scene on January 18, 2008, when Larry released a short video containing these allegations on YouTube.com. That video has had close to a million views yet the mainstream media has completely ignored Larry's serious allegations. Thereafter, a clearly orchestrated campaign to discredit Larry began on the internet which forced Larry to resort to federal court to protect his reputation.
At the press conference, Larry will (i) reveal the corroborating evidence for his allegations regarding Obama, (ii) address the time-line of the response of the Obama campaign to his allegations and the murder of Donald Young, the openly gay choir director of Trinity United Church of Christ, Obama's now-former church and (iii) the significance of the refusal of U.S. District Court Judge Henry H. Kennedy, Jr. to allow Larry's case to proceed.

If I recall correctly, it's because Obama is a "figure of public interest", so the press has no particular obligation to determine the truth of what they say. Not my feild, so I could be wrong, but I beleive that's how tabloid rags like the Enquirer and the like get away with saying 16 kinds of stupid shit.

Is this claiming what I think it is... that Obama (or someone tied to him) had this Young assassinated?
I would ask why sex scandals in America invariably get more play and do more damage to the person who did it than any other type of scandal up to and including death scandals, but I remember America is just about the most right-wing of the industrialized nations in existence. Murder isn't as bad as unauthorized sex to the Right Wing.

Is it time for my ranting about the ass backward nature of American defamation law again? I should really just find the last time and cut and paste it.
Essentially, he's got a snowballs chance in hell of making it stick short of a signed and witnessed confession that it's a deliberate lie.

Only applies to Parody. A reasonable person standard is upheld such that if a reasonably informed person would believe it, it is slander. That is whay the Inquirer and Weekly World News get away with their crap. No one actually believes it.

They don't need to know that.
How effective is this going to be, though? As I recall, the first time people shrugged him off, and the idiots most likely to believe him aren't likely to vote Obama anyway.

It's not as if you actually *have* to have sex with him. I mean, do you honestly think Sinclair actually had sex with Obama? All you have to do is arrive at the press-conference in the Loltruck, wave a rainbow flag, show a cheaply photoshopped picture of you and McCain, and let the spin-machine do the rest.

My favourite part of the conference was when his lawyer declared that he was wearing a kilt because his ENORMOUS MANHOOD could not fit into anything else.
