Birther Site Is Already Lying About Ft. Hood Shooter and Obama
Birther Site Is Already Lying About Ft. Hood Shooter and Obama
By SPENCER ACKERMAN 11/6/09 11:04 AM
Conspiracy-theorist Website WorldNetDaily posts the inevitable “connection” between Fort Hood shooter Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan and President Obama, and it possesses the same level of rigor and responsibility we’ve come to expect from the leading source of disinformation that the president wasn’t born an American. Under the headline “Shooter Advised Obama Transition,” Jerome Corsi — he of the Swift Boat liars — writes:

Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the alleged shooter in yesterday’s massacre at Fort Hood, played a homeland security advisory role in President Barack Obama’s transition into the White House, according to a key university policy institute document.

The Homeland Security Policy Institute at George Washington University published a document May 19, entitled “Thinking Anew – Security Priorities for the Next Administration: Proceedings Report of the HSPI Presidential Transition Task Force, April 2008 – January 2009,” in which Hasan of the Uniformed Services University School of Medicine is listed on page 29 of the document as a Task Force Event Participant.

Wrong! So thoroughly, thoroughly wrong!

That GWU document no more “advised” the Obama transition as did the flurry of think-tank documents and advisory strategies put out by endless interest groups. It had, and therefore Hasan had, absolutely no connection to the Obama administration. Here, for instance, is a story I wrote in November about one such strategy “advisory” paper prepared by the civil liberties community for the Obama transition about counterterrorism strategies. Really, this is as stupid as saying that a guy who writes a letter to The New York Times “advised” editor Bill Keller.

4. I believe Spencer Ackerman (formerly of TPM) is shooting down & exposing the lies b4 FOX et al
attempt to legitimize it. I find Washington Independent to be a credible source.

10. Do they have a group
of swamp dwellers that have nothing to do but pull up all kinds of incorrect and downright lies about Obama and the Democrats. I don't understand it, they must. How come they can produce these lies so quick.

When you go on google to bring up events about bush they throw stuff about Obama and what he did and on and on. Try to find Prescott Bush connected to trying to overthrow the government.
