IX: Obama’s Triumph of the Will: The 2008 Primaries 359

Sinclair’s honesty compared favorably to that of most politicians today. He started his
presentation with a detailed admission of his criminal record, jail time served, his pending court
motion to dismiss an old Colorado warrant, and a statement that his troubles with the law date back
more than 20 years to 1980-1986. In the question-and-answer segment, Sinclair gave a straight
answer to every question he was asked. He did not dodge questions, he did not prevaricate, he did
not refuse to answer questions, and he did not bungle his answers. Sinclair has made serious
mistakes in life, as he readily conceded. But Sinclair is not a candidate, not a person who has to be
evaluated by the public and then accepted or rejected. Sinclair came forward as a witness with a
series of allegations to make and a story to tell. It was up to public opinion and most emphatically
the news media to evaluate those allegations and those facts, including through the efforts of
enterprising investigative journalists anxious to make a name for themselves by finding out the truth
about what is potentially the biggest political scandal of the century. Obama, after all, is the
candidate of whom we know little and who needs urgently to be evaluated. The issue posed is not
what you think about Larry Sinclair. The overriding issue is the presidency in a time of military
defeat, institutional crisis, and economic breakdown.


HOMOPHOBIC DEATH THREATS AGAINST SINCLAIR


Obama’s lemming legions, and especially his notorious mercenary squadristi of the Internet, had
done everything possible to sabotage and disrupt Sinclair’s press conference. One Obama backer
had issued a categorical death threat against Sinclair in terms that made it abundantly clear that a
homophobic hate murder might be in the offing. The FBI and the District of Columbia police had
shown zero interest in offering Sinclair protection against a possible hit by one of Obama’s fanatics.
Once it is accepted that police agencies can intervene in political campaigns, it is possible to a rest
or detain almost anyone if the interest is great enough. If nothing can be found at this level, there
are always old parking tickets and library fines that can be ginned up. Any political candidate who
has had dealings with the Federal Elections Commission can be hauled in on some minor technical
violation. The precedent established by the arrest of Sinclair at the National Press Club was
exceedingly ominous for the public life of this country. The irony was that repression was being
carried out not to help the Republicans, but rather under ultra-left cover, to help the radical
subversive Obama.


Since the warrant used as the pretext to arrest Sinclair came from Delaware, attention naturally
turned to Senator Joe Biden, the incorrigible blowhard and defeated presidential candidate who is
now known to be angling for the post of vice president or Secretary of State in a future Obama
regime. We also note that Biden’s son, the nepotist Beau Biden, the current Attorney General of
Delaware, issued the warrant. As the cops would say, the Biden machine, anxious to ingratiate
themselves with Obama, had the means, motive, and opportunity to arrange this outrageous arrest.
For those gullible enough to believe that civil liberties might improve under an Obama regime, this
ought to provide a reality shock. Do not assume that civil liberties will get better under Obama; the
evidence is now that they will get worse. Obama’s National Press Club caper is as blatant as
anything seen under Bush – and Barky is not even in the White House.


At the end of his detailed indictment of Obama, Sinclair demanded information on four points.
The first involves Obama as phone records for November 3, 1999 through November 8, 1999 — the
time frame of the two alleged encounters between Obama and Sinclair, mediated, Sinclair said, by
Paramjit Multani of Five Star Limo at O’Hare Airport. The second involves Obama’s phone
records for September 2007 — December 23, 2007, when Sinclair was receiving probing phone
calls from Donald Young about how much Sinclair had revealed concerning Obama — calls that
