t r u t h o u t - Eric Boehlert | Sinclair’s Disgrace: “Sinclair has other business interests that may also explain its aggressive support of the Bush administration. The company happens to be a major investor in Jadoo Power Systems, a producer of portable power systems that was recently awarded a military contract from the Pentagon with U.S. Special Operations Command. (Sinclair Ventures, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sinclair Broadcast Group, is one of Jadoo’s two major owners.) “
That explains a lot. Groan.

A noteworthy participant in the campaign of vilification is Andres W. Lopez an attorney for the Obama campaign in Puerto Rico who is a member of the campaigns National Finance Committee. He appeared on Puerto Ricos most popular TV magazine show WAPA TVs SuperXclusivo on April 10th 2008 to denounce Sinclair as a major headache and distraction for the Obama campaign and implied that he was mentally ill and working for the Hilary Clinton campaign.
Sinclair has hit back against some of the critics with law suits for defamation in the DC district court filed by his attorney Montgomery Sibley most recently noteworthy for his defence of the DC Madam.
On 1st April, 2008 US District Court Judge Henry Kennedy granted a motion for discovery in the matter. The aim of the Sinclair-Sibley legal strategy is eventually to discover Barack Obama on oath.
2. Larry Sinclair took a polygraph test in February confident that he would pass and he challenged Obama to do the same. The test was arranged by Whitehouse.com an internet site best known for pornography and anti-Clinton political satire.
The raw computer readings showed that Larry Sinclair passed the test with flying colours. But two testers hired by Whitehouse.com re-interpreted the readings to claim that they showed deception. One of the testers was Edward I. Gelb who has been exposed by specialists in the field for claiming a phony Ph.D.
Whitehouse.com refused to publish the full results or the video of the test and in many other respects breached good faith undertakings they gave Sinclair to induce him to participate. He claims that he and his attorney are in possession of information that the Obama campaign bribed Whitehouse.com to distort the test and spin the presentation of the results.
Whitehouse.com has not denied these allegations but has abruptly gone silent on the matter.
3. Many in the mainstream media are aware of Larry Sinclairs allegations about Barack Obama and rumours in Chicago restaurant and club land since at least 2001 that Barack Obama has been doing the Down Low with gay men. Some newspaper have interviewed Larry Sinclair and visited his home in Minnesota. He has provided them with his criminal record, his health and financial records and his family history.
At least one major Chicago newspaper has indicated that it will not proceed yet because it does not want to be accused of racism or of causing problems for the first viable black candidate. Other newspapers have asked for more proof such as access to the limousine driver who witnessed the events of November 6th, 1999.
Larry Sinclair has said the driver will testify in legal proceedings. But in the meantime he wants to protect him from interference from Obama campaign, from the kind of death threats to which Sinclair has been subjected and from the kind of harrssment that Obama supporters have visited on Sinclairs elderly mother, his siblings and neighbors. However, Larry Sinclair is willing to provide assurances about his evidence to the media through his lawyer.
4. When Larry Sinclair first reported his allegations to the Obama campaign in September 2007 he wanted Obama to correct his claim that he had stopped taking drugs in his teens and had never taken crack. He believes crack is addictive and difficult to shake off.

Um… right. Well, this post wasn’t about Larry Sinclair, first of all.
However, anyone who is curious about the claims above should judge for themselves.
There’s a charming video of Mr. Sinclair, for example, at the Huffington Post.
And a bit on his rap sheet here.
Not making an ad hominem argument here, I’m just saying.
Check out Fight the Smears, too, on these kinds of smear campaigns (although this one seems kind of personal).
Oh wait! It looks like “Nurse Ratchett” (I think that’s Ratched, nice reference) links to Larry’s own blog. Larry, is it you? If so, I’m kinda sorta honored and also a little repulsed.
A word of advice from a humble blogger: make sure that your comment actually has something to do with the topic at hand when you comment on a blog, kay? It’s only polite.
