The National Press Club Hosting Larry Sinclair
It's simply the pits that the NPC would host Larry Sinclair.
He's beyond the pale: this man actually accused Obama of murdering his pastor. It's quite extraordinary that the NPC would give him house room.
Please go to Jane Hamsher's page, read more about it if you're unsure, and then sign her petition. Also phone the NPC.
Details on her page Firedoglake.

Would you please also hit recommend on this to try to get the word out.
It's just mindboggling that this sleaze is being given the NPC as a forum to tout his repulsive lies.

Sorry - I didn't see this other post on the subject before I posted mine. I'd run through the reader posts before I did so. Unfortunate timing obviously.

NPC has lost the plot, full up on the drama.

First they arrange the Wright ploy a week before a primary, and now this crap.
Who exactly is in charge over there?
Seems awfully partisan.
Will they be giving equal time for the people claiming McCain was nicknamed "Songbird" because he ratted on his firends in Vietnam?

It should be noted that NPC isn't exactly hosting him, but rather he's rented out a room in the building. They did not invite him as they did Wright. Nonetheless, it allows this loonypants to pretend he has their imprimatur.
The His44ers are VERY excited about people finally learning the truth about Obama!
(What in the hell is wrong with those people?)

p.s. to whit, the excellent post "LArry Sinclair for Newbies" has a quote from the guy talking about his "National Press Club event." Like it or not, their name is being used in conjunction with this and all of their, "We're not involved" protestations are a little weak. They are involved. When you sign the petition or contact them, be prepared to engage with this, "No, no, he's just renting a room!" idea...

The original post is inaccurate...
Sinclair has not accused Obama of having Donald Young killed. Although he claims Young contacted him more than once last Fall to try and find a quiet way to settle Sinclair's demands that Obama acknowledge the 1999 activities.
People should also check out the claims that he "failed" the polygraph, before dismissing him on this basis. As you may recall Ted Haggard's accuser also "failed" a polygraph.
Sinclair's clearly seems a little nutty, but his allegation are actually not that hard to believe. And ask youself, wouldn't a person who engaged in what he's alleged be a little offbeat?

Barrack Obama Illegal Drug Use Allegations to be Corroborated at Press Conference
PRESS RELEASE
Washington, D.C. - Despite death threats and an organized campaign to prevent him from speaking publicly, Larry Sinclair –- UPDATE: THE EVENT IS NOW SCHEDULED for Wednesday, June 18, 2008 from 1-5:00 PM in the HOLEMAN LOUNGE -- at the National Press Club, 529 14th Street NW, Washington, DC 20045, will for the first time reveal the corroborating evidence for his claim that on November 6 + 7, 1999, Larry: (i) met Obama at a gay bar where Barrack Obama arranged for the purchase of federal Schedule II drugs, (ii) which Larry and Obama thereafter ingested and (iii) then engaged in hi-risk, homosexual activities.
Larry’s story burst on to the scene on January 18, 2008, when Larry released a short video containing these allegations on YouTube.com. That video has had close to a million views yet the mainstream media has completely ignored Larry’s serious allegations. Thereafter, a clearly orchestrated campaign to discredit Larry began on the internet which forced Larry to resort to federal court to protect his reputation.
At the press conference, Larry will (i) reveal the corroborating evidence for his allegations regarding Obama, (ii) address the time-line of the response of the Obama campaign to his allegations and the murder of Donald Young, the openly gay choir director of Trinity United Church of Christ, Obama’s now-former church and (iii) the significance of the refusal of U.S. District Court Judge Henry H. Kennedy, Jr. to allow Larry’s case to proceed.
