Top anti-'birther' confirmed to be ex-Fannie Mae chief
World Net Daily ^ | 31 Jul 2011 | Jerome Corsi

'There isn't much point to denial,' source says of White House-linked James A. Johnson

A radical Obama supporter who organizes an "Obama-Robot" website has admitted in online posts that WND correctly identified former chairman of Fannie Mae chairman James A. Johnson as the group's White House-associated ring-leader. William L. Bryan, who posts under the username "P.J. Foggy," is the organizer of Fogbow.com, a self described "OBOT," or "Obama-Robot" website. On his weekly "Reality Check Radio" broadcast July 21, Bryan began the show by acknowledging the veracity of the WND report.

"As far as I know [WND] got the boss," he said. "There just isn't much point to denial."

As previously reported, Hale told WND he spoke with JimBot numerous times on the telephone and that JimBot insisted he was a Washington, D.C., Democratic Party insider who directed OBOT activity in the Foxbow community from his office across the street from the White House.

JimBot further told Hale that he paid as many as 100 OBOTs in a disinformation campaign aimed at people questioning Obama's eligibility to be president.

“Top anti-’birther’ confirmed to be ex-Fannie Mae chief”

How exactly was anything “confirmed” here? From looking at the article, Corsi’s only sources appear to be the claims of a Bigfoot hunter and a handful of what look like sarcastic comments from ‘Foggy.’ And he even quotes a direct denial from the guy he previously said WAS Jimbot.

And is it just me, or is it bad journalism to publicly declare that an online identity has been “confirmed” without making a concerted effort to get a comment from the real James Johnson?

I don't think it's just you.

Quoting Corsi himself: "NeonZX admitted that he was JimBot, but denied that he was James Johnson, offering as proof an appearance he had made on Hale's Plains Radio show, speaking in a youthful voice clearly distinguishable from Johnson's more mature voice."

Yet the title of the article is, "Top anti-'birther' confirmed to be ex-Fannie Mae chief."

Don't need to read much past this.

Nor do we need waste time after seeing your name appended to a message.

It's not Corsi's claim, though. He's just reporting a two-year-old story from Ed Hale. Do you find Ed Hale to be a trustworthy source? And don't give me one of those "I trust him more than I trust Obama" cop outs. I'm not interested in that. I just want to know if you find this man, who has a history of making outrageous claims on call-in radio shows, to be trustworthy.

Did I miss something? At the WND link there seems to be a screen shot of Bill Bryan admitting that James Johnson is involved. Why should we be concerned with Ed Hale? (Whoever that is.) With an Admission by a participant, it doesn't matter if the accuser is the "boy who cried wolf." The charge has been substantiated by other means. Apart from that, You do know what an "Ad Hominem" is, don't you?

I would have thought that if someone was going to go to the trouble to contest something, they would at least have read the information which they are contesting, but people who defend Obama's eligibility are not the sharpest knives in the drawer. If they were knowledgeable and intelligent enough to understand what is wrong with their arguments, they wouldn't be making them in the first place.

It isn't any more credible than the first time.

Another goof who apparently hasn't bothered to read the article.

But now it's "confirmed."

What, did you go back and read the article? Finally?

Foggy is a nutjob. I have no clue whether what he’s telling WMD is true or not I seriously doubt that Johnson would be affiliated with this guy and his pal Rikker. Now claims to be a ‘former’ attorney, OMG, now that’s a scream.

All Democrats are Nutjobs except the exploiters. They are the ones that keep the nutjobs riled up to maintain their positions in power. The Exploiters are just evil.

Interesting posting history for the subject at hand. How did you slip by the Admins?

I always assumed the Administrators were just tolerant or perhaps providing a special service for children to be babysat.

Kleon, Gena Bukin, Tex-Con-Man, BladeBryan, Vickery2010, Jeff Winston, so far. I haven't seen El Sordo or Curiosity yet, but I suspect They'll be along.

Like moths to a flame.

Yes. That whooshing sound was it going right over your head.

You do know what an "Ad Hominem" is, don't you?

If Ed Hale offered any evidence whatsoever, I would focus on that. But like his story of killing two bigfoot monsters in the 1970s, there's nothing to back it up. Right now, his record of phony and unbelievable stories is all I have to go on in determining his credibility.

Again, this wasn't a clue that Ed Hale is not needed for the credibility he may bring?

Why aren't you concerned with his shocking admission than Obama posts on his anti-birther website?

That sounds like Braggadocio, and only a Democrat would be potentially proud of such an occurrence. But for the rest of it, Do the words "Declaration against interest" mean anything to you?

I have no idea. Why? Did you run into him at a gay bar?

You're the one that posted the accusation. I assumed you thought it was true.

I have no idea if Corsi stores his conspiracy nuts in an “unmentionables” container.

If it's not true, maybe Klayman and Farah will start a fundraiser for the "Corsi don't wear sissy drawers" lawsuit against fogbow. Push the PayPal button for justice!

Sorry, your straw man doesn't speak for me.

Obviously they need separate storage from the pro-Obama nuts. Those are probably @ss packed in some fashion or other.

See the "Declaration against Interest" comment above. Perhaps one day you will have the tools necessary to discern mockery from statements of fact. You seem to have a problem with substituting one for the other on a regular basis. I suppose logical dyslexia is an inherent condition of your position?

Your bouts of self imagined birther brilliance are inadvertently entertaining. You amuse me.

Corsi is the one who has a busted mockery detector. Parody blindness is a “birther defect”.
