Mad Melanie strikes again!

[Archae]

Melanie Morgan and her co-host use the discredited Monnie Times' Insight article, and a nutcase Jew hater as "sources?" :wtf:

In reviving Obama smears, Morgan guest/co-author cited reported anti-Semite with "well-documented ideation with a paranoid flavor and a grandiose character"

Summary:

On the March 1 edition of San Francisco radio station KSFO's Morning Show, citing a source who reportedly once expressed "understand for how the Holocaust took place," guest Catherine Moy rehashed a host of falsehoods and smears about Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL). Moy, who co-wrote American Mourning: The Intimate Story of Two Families Joined by War, Torn by Beliefs (WND Books, 2006) with co-host Melanie Morgan, stated that, according to her source, Obama "flat-out lied" about his upbringing. Moy also used her source's claims to revisit the debunked January 17 InsightMag.com article claiming that "researchers connected to" Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) disclosed that Obama "spent at least four years in a so-called Madrassa, or Muslim seminary, in Indonesia." Moy said her source was Andy Martin, whom she described only as a "Republican" who "once ran in the primaries" for the Illinois Senate seat eventually won by Obama, as her source for the information about Obama.

According to a January 31, 2004, Copley News Service article, Martin was removed from the 2004 Republican Illinois Senate primary ballot after falling more than 1,000 signatures short of the 5,000 needed to put him on the ballot; Martin claimed he had filed the required number of signatures "but that someone had doctored them." A February 10, 2006, Chicago Tribune article noted that Martin also ran for a Senate seat in Florida in 2004.

According to the Tribune article, during bankruptcy proceedings, Martin "referred to a federal bankruptcy judge as a "crooked, slimy Jew, who has a history of lying and thieving common to members of his race," and, separately, stated: "I am able to understand how the Holocaust took place, and with every passing day feel less and less sorry that it did, when Jew survivors are operating as a wolf pack to steal my property." The Tribune also reported that "Federal Bureau of Prisons records show Martin has spent several stints in several federal prisons on issues related to contempt of court."
