Prior to last night's show (Dec. 12), Ed posted a page from a Canadian website, stdarriers.com, that some misfit had posted in early November. The entry, #156, listed “Barry Sotero,” age 48, from Chicago, as being a reported carrier of genital herpes.
BACKGROUND: “Barry Sotero” is a variation of the name that Barack Obama is beleived to have used when he traveled with his mother to Indonesia and Pakistan in the 60s and 70s. “Sutoro” was the last name of the man Barack’s mother married in 1967. However, his mother seems to have used many aliases, spelling her second husband's last name “Sutoro”, “Soetoro”, “Sotero,” and reportedly others.

Well, Ed posted a “screen shot” of the page on the PlainsRadio website, which stdarriers.com deleted weeks ago from its website.
Ed touted it as “health records” of Barack Obama. Entry #156 has appeared on Hannity’s forum and other blogs and is considered by most to surely be a hoax. It NO LONGER APPEARS on the Canadian website. Most likely, it was a set-up from the Left, meant to discredit those who oppose President-Select Obama.
Ed took the bait, and posted the screenshot on the PlainsRadio website with vigor. Those in the PlainsRadio chat room at the time warned Ed of this, but Ed said it was simply a reposting of something already on the internet.
It would appear Leo found out about this and made the decision to not be on the PlainRadio network again with Ed.
It would seem that Leo, who is trying to maintain his credibility, is distancing himself QUICKLY from Ed. This is similar to how Leo distanced himself weeks ago from Lan Lamphere after Lan posted a graphic of Barack Obama with a swastika on his website.
It is a sad (but perhaps necessary) turn of events, for Ed, the PlainsRadio network, and Leo -- a minuscule bump in the road. Leo has stated repeatedly that he will NOT appear on any MSM outlets — he knows his words will be twisted and he'll be ambushed by the reporter in the interview.
IMO, this “distancing” makes perfect sense for Leo. He's an attorney who is challenging Barack Obama’s Constitutional qualifications.
If Leo may be appearing in front of the SCOTUS, Congress or anywhere else in the upcoming weeks or months, he needs to be somewhat nonpartisan and have CREDIBILITY. This battle to uphold the Constitution is far from over. This has all unfolded in front of Leo in a very short of time, and he's gone to “new media” outlets that have an audience of like-minded people on the subject of upholding Constitutional Presidential qualifications.
Credibility, once lost, is hard to regain.
... let's just say Leo is just re-selecting his associations -- very carefully ...
Oh. The one that says he has AIDS?
Ed tries to “break” stories and makes wild claims of the number of listeners. Ed seems to “take the bait” far too often. He is a decent guy but needs to show some self restraint.
I was told by Ed in the chats to lay off bashing Lan the jerk.
This is very sad. Leo is a great guy. He is trying his best to uphold the Constitution. I had some optimism that SCOTUS might also uphold the Constitution but the electors are meeting monday and if SCOTUS was going to act, I would have thought they would have moved on Friday. I will still hope SCOTUS gets it and pushes the Cort’s case to a full hearing but I am not optimistic.
