Dan- – You mention an Aug 2008 article. We’re talking Aug 2007.
And in any case the info in the article you mention does not fit what Sinclair claimed he had seen– Obama speaking in public, talking to a “young person” about his drrug use in his youth — which according to LS is what led him to call the campaign starting in Sept 2007.
Larry’ s lucky nobody proved this earlier or he might have raked in a little less money from gullible supporters.

Acting on information provided by a left-wing group known as Media Matters, which functions as an unofficial arm of the Democratic Party, the New York Times attacked Corsi for charging that Obama has “yet to answer” whether he ever dealt drugs and when he stopped, if indeed he ever did. The Times protested that Obama has answered that charge, at least the part about quitting marijuana and cocaine, by saying that he hasn’t used drugs since he was 20 years old.

Sinclair told people he had proof then failed to produce it after months of promises subsidized by asking for “donations”.

After literally thousands of dollars being sent to Sinclair, many of his supporters have learned the hard way that Sinclair spins a good yarn but failed to follow through with what he claimed could prove his story.

The Donald Young accusations were added months after Sinclair’s original allegations when Sinclair’s traffic had begun to dwindle.

Sorry!
