Many of us remember RaceBannon from the earliest times on FR. I don’t know why anybody would smear a Marine and old-time Conservative. RaceBannon said he once met a kid who looked like Obama. That’s all.
It’s not like some AID-infected, crackhead alleged he had homosexual sex with a Democratic Senator from Chicago and the guy has the receipt from the hotel, or had homosexual sex with the Senator again in the back of a limo and the limo driver remembers.

Whatever I said, I didn't intend to smear him, just hold the accounts up to rigorous standards. Some crossed that line; others vouched for him. My point is that if he is telling it exactly as he experienced it, there is no proof that it was actually Obama. Without reading those accounts again, a name would lend it a little more credence, and maybe there was one, but still wouldn't prove it was indeed the current president without more actual evidence which there apparently was not.

I would never put Race Bannon on a par with that other person; he looked like a good-looking, decent fellow in the picture. It's like the guy standing in line behind me in a convenience store years ago, don't know how on earth it came up, but he asked me if I'd heard about My Lai. I replied in the affirmative, and her responded that he was the one who pulled the trigger. So I tell my story all these years later, am not making it up, people don't know that, maybe I misunderstood, but my point is from that brief interchange, there is no proof linking that stranger to My Lai. If I'd gotten his name and gone off to do a whole lot of research, getting names of family and people who knew him, rereading news accounts, writing the Army, how far do you think I would have gotten with it?

Assuming I am telling the truth, which only I know, been here a long time, too, and people might do well to question me politely, my memory of it, without smearing me, would you believe that stranger was actually the shooter? Would you believe that I am recalling the incident correctly? Would it hold up in any court?

I thought that stranger might be crackpot. But I suppose there is a slim chance he was somehow telling the truth. What are people supposed to think when a stranger comes up with a startling narrative? FWIW I thought there were more than one shooters at that incident, I don't remember, remember Lt. Calley allegedly ordered it, and that the incident itself was real.
