Subject: RE: BS: Mommy, Where Do Lies Come From?
Yesterday I read an article about the man who started the "muslim" whisper campaign about Obama. This thread is appropriate for a link to that.

The Man Behind The Whispers About Obama

snip
"An examination of legal documents and election filings, along with interviews with his acquaintances, revealed Mr. Martin, 62, to be a man with a history of scintillating if not always factual claims. He has left a trail of animosity — some of it provoked by anti-Jewish comments — among political leaders, lawyers and judges in three states over more than 30 years.

He is a law school graduate, but his admission to the Illinois bar was blocked in the 1970s after a psychiatric finding of "moderately severe character defect manifested by well-documented ideation with a paranoid flavor and a grandiose character."
