Did presumptive Democratic Presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign plant a fake story accusing itself of campaign finance irregularities, in order to portray itself as victims of right-wing allegations about the campaign’s successful Internet fund-raising?

In a July 8 2008-article "Bogus Dowd Column spreads quickly" PolitiFact, a project of the St. Petersburg Times and Congressional Quarterly, reported that blogs and chain e-mails were spreading a Maureen Dowd New York Times column that claims the Obama campaign got suspicious contributions from Iran, Saudi Arabia and China.

I got a reply back from the NY Slimes but all it said

get a reply back ...

I doubt that I’ll hear back from her, ya know??

:) Very funny. The other “Justice Brother” (thanks Rush) Jesse doesn’t appear to be pleased with (not Magic Negro) Barack. A Halfrican-American elevated himself above the collective and talking down to the collective is enough to get him gelded in Jesse’s eyes.

hahahaaa!

Yeah, Jesse JackA$$ doesn’t seem to be too thrilled
wif the Obomber, that’s for sure.

There WAS a thread running about the time that news
hit (Jackson’s comment) about a couple of Chimps that
went crazy and pulled off a man’s man parts ... but I
can’t find the thread now ...

Thanks for telling me Meek, at least you got something, lol. Probably a lot of people asking about the same thing.

Hi DC!! Sorry I’m so slow responding. Was not on today. Have not read threads so don’t know if more has been heard on the Dowd ‘article’.
