Here's a jab to all those who accused Tom Hays of being the original author.

Tom Hays had his name on the original "the crowd booed" story. And Hays did nothing to deny that he was the source of the quote when he was asked by hundreds of people, by email and phone, how he explained the falsehood in the story with his byline on it, nor did he reveal who the AP source actually was.

He can rot in hell as far as I'm concerned, he's as much part of the problem as the original liar.

Tom Hays had his name on the original "the crowd booed" story.

The first story had no byline. The original "the crowd bood" story, dateline West Allis, Wisconsin, had no byline. The original articl did not have Tom Hays' name on the byline, it had no name on the byline.

Hays incorporated that story into an agglomeration that had his name on the byline. Blame who you want. I'm just reciting facts.
