View Full Version : Obama Fellatio, Biden False Arrest
JEROME DA GNOME

Interesting that the man holding a press conference at the National Press Club claiming participation in the act of fellatio with Obama was falsely arrested by the son of the man named Vice-Presidential candidate.
Charges have been dropped against Larry Sinclair. No evidence of a crime.
Interesting that the Attorney General of Delaware, Biden's son, would ask Washington D.C. police to arrest Larry Sinclair and extradite him to Delaware for a crime that has no evidence.
CHANGE you can BELIEVE in.

ETA: I'm no fan of Obama, but I'm fairly certain that he is innocent of whatever you're accusing him of.

Below is the press conference at the National Press Club in Washington D.C.
Obama is accused of using cocaine and engaging in fellatio.
Sinclair was arrested on a warrant issued by Biden's son, the Attorney General of Delaware, immediately after the press conference.
All charges have been dropped by the State of Delaware due to lack of evidence.
After Sinclair's arrest Biden was named Vice-Presidential candidate by Obama.
Follow the links for the entire press conference.

Hi everyone, I'm mostly new.
Jerome: When people ask for evidence you cannot say "Why did he have him arrested" as if it is evidence because we don't know he was arrested and if he was, we don't know why.
You have to provide evidence of the arrest and then, to tie it to Obama, you need to provide evidence of what the charges were (or perhaps evidence of an absence of charges).
Even if he was arrested, he might have been arrested legitimately, based on a real crime in Delaware, and then legitimately released. It happens.

IIRC, Sinclair was arrested based on bloggers reporting him to the DC police because he had an outstanding warrant in Delaware. He was extradited to Delaware where he was then released, because it seems he had never answered the warrant because the summonses were delivered to the wrong addresses. No evidence was ever presented in the previous thread that Obama or anyone with anything to do with his campaign had anything to do with the arrest.
I would dig up a link to the old thread, but it's not worth my time.
I'd say believing Sinclair's story shows about as much judgment as believing pro wrestling.

Larry Sinclair Press Conference: Sinclair Arrested, Led Away in Handcuffs (http://www.bloggernews.net/116292)
Larry Sinclair–the gay man who’s accused Senator Barack Obama of sharing gay sex and drugs with him in a Gurnee, IL hotel room in 1999–held a press conference at the National Press Club today.
Sinclair was arrested by DC Police after 2 US Marshals showed up and presented a warrant from the State of Delaware for Sinclair’s arrest.
Keep in mind that Delaware dropped the unknown charges just a week ago due to lack of evidence.
Now, why would Biden issue a warrant and request extradition for a crime that has no evidence to present before a judge?
FYI: This arrest happened before Biden was chosen as the running mate.

JEROME DA GNOME,
What is the purpose of this thread in your mind? Do you think you are going to convince any regular JREF forum participant either pro or anti Obama that Larry Sinclair was credible?
Larry Sinclair has a long rap sheet that includes a 16 year jail sentence for forgery and is generally a thoroughly non-credible individual.
Is it possible that Obama had sex with him? Of course. In this world certainty is at best elusive and it is difficult to be certain of anything. But for practical purposes is there a significant chance that any of the guys charges are true? No.
The Larry Sinclair story would have died almost instantly if truth or plausibility was a requirment for a story. It isn't. In this case all that was required was that some people thought it offered an opportunity for political gain and so they pushed the story. A story doesn't need to be credible for these people, the only thing that is important is whether pumping the story will help their guy. And in this case, their calculation was that a completely unfounded accusation against Obama still had value as political propaganda. There were going to be some people who heard this story who wouldn't vote for Obama, regardless of the fact that with only the tiniest research one could easily determine that the story was non-sense.
The story was so unlikely to be true that no national media including fox news, Hannity, Limbaugh or any other national pundit has followed up on it. But that hasn't stopped people on the internet with of control confirmation bias againt their guy's opponent from running with it.
The problem for you is the audience at JREF. I suspect that there is not one regular participant here, including the pro and anti Obama folks that are likely to find the slightest element of truth in this non-sense. You are just spinning your wheels here. But you might check out the Clintons4McCain forum. There you will find a ready audience for anything anti-Obama, no truth or plausibility required.

It has been pointed out that Sinclair was arrested due to an outstabding warrant, and the arrest was rescinded when it was determined that the warrant was delivered to the wrong address.
Also appears to be a glut of Conservatives who believe Sinclairs claims without evidence... Including the claim that the arrest was false.

Are we to assume that the AG of every state is personally involved in every arrest the police make? Is it possible this is just a coincidence? Are we even sure Obama was aware of the connection between Biden, Biden's son, and the arrest of this detractor before selecting a running mate or even now?
I'm not saying it isn't possible Obama selected Biden because of this, but why don't you see how many numerous connections need to be made before there is any legitimacy to this theory?
And if this Sinclair dude was arrested and then released again quickly and largely without incident, are you suggesting that Obama selected a running mate based on personal favors in the forms of abuse of power, even though they were completely ineffective? If Obama were really up to something, shouldn't this Sinclair guy be in solitary by now?

Hi Jerome,
I think the difficulty with your claim for many of us is that it seems so unlikely to be true that there is a sense that either you have allowed your confirmation biases to cloud your thinking or that you realize that it is an almost certainly false story that you are putting forth to unfairly slander Obama.
Frankly, I haven't examined in detail the possibility that Joseph Biden's son used the power of his office in an attempt to benefit Obama. So far it seems that you haven't either. I haven't seen time lines from you about the events. I haven't seen a discussion of what he was charged with and how Biden's son was involved in trumping up those charges. I haven't seen any discussion from you about the routinely accepted story on this that it was bloggers that alerted the authorities about the outstanding warrants against Sinclair.
I propose this to you. If you can get even one person besides yourself that participates in the JREF forum to see your claim as something that has even a small but significant chance of being true then I'll get interested enough to examine the issue. There are a half dozen people or so that participate in the JREF forum that have strongly partisan pro-Republican views. Perhaps you could run your theory by some of them and see if they find any of it credible?

Now, why would Biden issue a warrant and request extradition for a crime that has no evidence to present before a judge?
The warrant existed. Whether or not there was merit to the case is not relevant to the fact that Sinclair had not dispoised of the case in a proper manner. (What a surprise that a known low-life would not answer a warrant.) It is comon sense that you do not make a public nuisance of yourself when you are already dirty. Having him arreested actually served justice, because it showed the public what sort of creep that gay guy accusing Obama of playing around was.
He should also be a little more careful about who he picks as a lawyer. If you want to raise a stink in public, it is probably not too good an idea to choose a lawyer who has been declared a vexatious litigant. It reflects on his competency, and, indirectly, on your own judgement.
Sinclair is not a victim in any of this, nor is anyone acting in a manner contrary to the public interest in subjecting him to the justice system. If anything, public well-being is enhanced because people will know to treat him like the swine he is, thwarting any further attempts on hios part to swindle people.
FYI: This arrest happened before Biden was chosen as the running mate.
You are arguing post hoc ergo propter hoc. You ignore the fact that Biden is one bright dude and experienced in areas in which Obama has little hands-on experience. He was the most logical choice and people had been saying so for weeks. You are grasping at straws.

Hi Jerome,
I think the difficulty with your claim for many of us is that it seems so unlikely to be true that there is a sense that either you have allowed your confirmation biases to cloud your thinking or that you realize that it is an almost certainly false story that you are putting forth to unfairly slander Obama.
Frankly, I haven't examined in detail the possibility that Joseph Biden's son used the power of his office in an attempt to benefit Obama. So far it seems that you haven't either. I haven't seen time lines from you about the events. I haven't seen a discussion of what he was charged with and how Biden's son was involved in trumping up those charges. I haven't seen any discussion from you about the routinely accepted story on this that it was bloggers that alerted the authorities about the outstanding warrants against Sinclair.
I propose this to you. If you can get even one person besides yourself that participates in the JREF forum to see your claim as something that has even a small but significant chance of being true then I'll get interested enough to examine the issue. There are a half dozen people or so that participate in the JREF forum that have strongly partisan pro-Republican views. Perhaps you could run your theory by some of them and see if they find any of it credible?
Don't waste your time. Logic and common sense just don;t work with Jerome.
And probably won't be around that much longer anyway.

I have to agree. I am not at all surprised at Jerome's antics...it's what we hve come to expect...but I surprised that so many JREF's still try to engage him in an intelligent discussion. I just come to his threads to have a laugh and poke fun at him, frankly.

Hi everyone, I'm mostly new.
Jerome: When people ask for evidence you cannot say "Why did he have him arrested" as if it is evidence because we don't know he was arrested and if he was, we don't know why.
You have to provide evidence of the arrest and then, to tie it to Obama, you need to provide evidence of what the charges were (or perhaps evidence of an absence of charges).
Even if he was arrested, he might have been arrested legitimately, based on a real crime in Delaware, and then legitimately released. It happens.I just ran a check - the temperature of hell has not changed. I fear you will get no cites from JdeG this year.

Biden having Sinclair extradited, without evidence, from another State, and then receiving the nomination.
Just a coincidence.

There was evidence, and there was an outstanding warrant based on a grand jury indictment. AG Biden did not receive the nomination, his father Senator Biden did. Are there any other factual errors you need me to clear up?

Yeah, could you explain how, at the time Sinclair was arrested, Obama had not yet clinched the Democratic nomination? Therefore, Obama was not in a position to definitively offer Biden (Jr. or Sr.) anything.
Also, you might clear up for me how Sinclair was any sort of threat to Obama's campaign since he was, in no way, credible and is widely considered to be nothing but a joke by Democrats and Republicans?

Indeed the move to arrest him seems to have come out of DU and was payback for Sinclair filing frivolous libel suits against several DUers for calling him a nutbar. And there was an actual warrant, that was not invented by anybody. And there still is one in Colorado, except that Colorado will not go through the expense of an extradition for a fairly minor offense like the one he is charged with. Instead they will wait for him to set foot in the state and move then.

I think you have spent too long in the land of the sane upchurch. Over at Clintons4McCain this story was big time stuff. I suspect other hyper anti-Obama sites made use of the story, also.
The fact seems to be that each candidate will suffer from various unfair and unfounded charges. In net, false charges that get a little publicity do harm. So Jerome's theory, I suspect, is that even though the charge in this case was not credible to most people Obama was still so worried about it that he made a quid pro quo deal with Biden's son to select his dad as VP to reduce in a tiny way the impact of the story.
Of course, Jerome's theory is wildly unlikely to be correct given the timing and the circumstances. But then Jerome has not provided any evidence to support his theory either. So the perfect storm of improbability compounded by a complete lack of evidence. But you do know that Obama is a Muslim right?

The conspiracy theory is particularly untenable because
1) the arrest did not stop Sinclair from speaking and
2) it only increased the publicity about his press conference, which otherwise would have been barely noticed.
