The Source of the Sambo Smear

Bill Hennessy is doing the job the liberal media won’t: vetting the source of unsubstantiated Sarah Palin rumors.

Hennessy has made it his quest to ferret out the true identity and qualifications of foul smear merchant and self-anointed “independent investigative journalist” Charley James. Charley is the vacuous slob responsible for fabricating the “part Aboriginal” waitress named Lucille NoLastName. He claims she’s an anonymous source who overheard Sarah Palin say to her dining companions, “So Sambo beat the bitch!” when speaking of Senators Obama and Clinton.

As Dr. Melissa Clouthier points out, this would be comedy gold if Charley James wasn’t trying to pass it off as serious.

Charley’s ugly prevarications spread rapidly to the seediest dens of liberal iniquity, like Kos and Democratic Underground, then leached out into the wider blogosphere, including Barack Obama’s campaign site. His lies are inadequately sourced to the point of absurdity, and his credentials as a journalist are extraordinarily suspect. But as NewsBusters reminds us, “It doesn’t have to be true, it just has to be repeated enough for people to hear Palin and the disparaging remark together in a sentence.” Ugh.

Hennessy is doing the legwork to find out just who this charlatan is, and what his ties might be to the Obama machine. I’ll be eagerly awaiting the results.

    I only know that there is a Military base in Fairbanks and that from people I know who live there, I am being told that the number of Blacks in Fairbanks has risen significantly since the Iraq war began.

    Maybe someone should check the connection of Obama and/or his supporters with Acorn (almost Nazilike organiaztion) and its underhanded / crooked / at least questionable dealings concerning voting. And also the connection of Obama & /or his supporters to Hugo Chavez.

    I may not believe all this stuff; I very firmly do believe we are in a pile of trouble if Obama and his “buds” get into office. This man does not need to be any more powerful than he already is. There are just too many things linked to him and /or his supporters that do not sound very American and Freedomlike to me. With his Socialist views of taking form the rich and giving to the poor and giving handouts, we are on the road to someplace America has fought to remove from this earth……………How can we allow him to change the whole reason for the existence of The USA??

    This may be or maybe not a little radical: What does Hamas do when they want support? They go into poor neighborhoods and they offer to help people to re build there homes after an Hamas driven “military conflict” has broken out the windows or damaged the houses in other ways.

    No argument here, Kath. Especially after the speeches at the DNC and RNC, it’s clear that John McCain loves and values America, both the idea and the place, for what it is. Barack Obama only covets what he could make it into.

    I don’t agree with McCain on some of the issues, but I believe he will keep America safe and free. Obama … not so much.

    You guys are sick, off-the-wall, racist crazies.

    Louise, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you’re talking about the people who created and spread this smear about Sarah Palin.
