Ex-Con Who Claimed He "Took Drugs And Had Homo Sex With Obama" Running For Office

[meegbear]

Dubbed "the biggest untold story of the 2008 U.S. Presidential Election," by Free Republic, Larry Sinclair's absurd claims popped up during the 2008 presidential campaign, and were never taken seriously. Normally, this clown wouldn't be worth mentioning, but now that he's decided to run for office in Florida's 24th district, he's fair game. More from Dan Carter at Air America:

Larry Sinclair, the man who claimed that he "took drugs had homo sex with Obama" is now running for Congress in Florida’s 24th district. His slogan: "I have served my time, now it's time I serve my Country."

Sinclair, author of Barack Obama & Larry Sinclair: Cocaine, Sex, Lies & Murder? and convicted felon, was reportedly offered $10,000 to verify his claims of illicit sex and drug use with then candidate Obama via a polygraph test, which he promptly failed. But deceit is nothing new for Sinclair. Politico did a bit of digging into his background and found a pattern:

The record includes forgery charges in two states, one of which drew Sinclair a 16-year jail sentence. The Pueblo County, Colo., Sheriff's Office also has an outstanding warrant for Sinclair's arrest for forging an acquaintance's signature and stealing her tax refunds.

But should we even be calling him “Larry Sinclair?” According to Colorado records, he has 13 aliases including "LA Rye Vizcarra Avila" and "Mohammed Gahanan." Read on...

Sinclair is running as an Independent, which makes him a teabagger's dream! Perhaps he'll be supported by the Club For Growth? (ok, that was Amato's joke) Be prepared when clicking the above link to Sinclair's site, it auto-plays Barbara Streisand's "Someday." Yes, really.

1. I bet the Teabaggers love this guy

[SpiralHawk]

10. He's got the hallmarks of Teabagger Republicon all over him

Why do they HATE America?

2. Well if hadn't said "homo" sex, just sex then he might have had a chance

:rofl:

[Canuckistanian]

12. He must have been paid big money

He's obviously a homophobe being obliged to say he had gay sex.

Talk about self-loathing.

3. He also tried to drag Democratic Underground into court, but had his case thrown out.

There is no mention of prior criminal convictions.

13. Wow, that's quite an impressive list.

6. is he really running, or has he just made an announcement?

In Kansas it takes something like 5,000 signatures or $1,800 to actually get on the ballot (that is, be an actual candidate)) and it is similarly difficult in New York. I didn't even see a monetary option in New York, and Kansas has different requirements for independent candidates.

9. It is free to run as a write-in candidate

[hfojvt]

11. true but it's logistically impossible to win anything higher than a council seat

Thus, one is not really 'running' unless some people run out and give them free publicity. And even then, it is more of a publicity stunt than an actual campaign.

[Freddie Stubbs]

14. My guess is that he just wants to raise money and pay himself a salary

Which is legal to do.

7. That asshole again?

:wtf: Why doesn't he just go on down to the La Brea Tar Pits and play a fast game of extinction.

F him and the idiots who are giving him play time.

15. One of the biggest Birther Freepers of them all is ecstatic about this

pissant is all over it:

I'd think the Brithers would hate Larry because he said bad things about Orly.
