Obama (whom* you brought up, not me) qualifies under category 1). "Dr." Jim Garrow does not fit either description.
Fine - then perhaps you could modify your statement to be that there is no official corroborating evidence that Mr. Garrow is a nominee.

Instead, without qualification, you say that he is not a nominee.

Why would you do that unless you wanted to sabotage the man's credibility because his message paints the president in a negative light?

I stand by everything I've said. "Dr." Jim Garrow is a fraud, a liar, and a con-man. I don't believe anything he has to say about anything, including his claims - complete with the most absurd story behind it I've ever heard - that he was a 2009 Nobel Peace prize nominee. Show me evidence that he is (and I clearly spelled out to you what evidence I will consider), and I'll change my tune.

And I'm "sabotaging" his credibility (I'd say "exposing his absolute of lack of credibility") because it deserves to be. It just happens he made some ridiculous comments about Obama and a litmus test of openness to killing Americans that no less than 4 people on here took as the gospel truth and then started threads about.

I would have attacked him and his comments/claims and the subsequent CityData threads just the same had they been about homosexuality and gay marriage, the design of Denver's Union Station transit redevelopment (something I post a lot on here in the Denver section), or whatever.

What makes the comments "ridiculous"?

His 'Deep Throat' is a well respected former military officer.

Why do you dismiss what this person has reported?

Maybe you should take the moral high road and quit calling the President, and anyone who doesn't agree with you, derogatory names. Doing so would go much further to make people take your message seriously.

It is astounding how the right wing will defend the bilious and obvious lies of any scummy charlatan just as long as he provides hater porn for their pleasure.

Why do you insist on playing these games? Do you have fun playing dumb? I've addressed this a dozen times, but I'll play along and explain it to you again.

There is no evidence whatsoever that anybody came to "Dr." Jim Garrow and disclosed this information to him. We only have "Dr." Jim Garrow's word that this happened. Given that "Dr." Jim Garrow is a proven liar, fraud, and con-man, I'd say the chances he is telling the truth here are around 0%.



But let's set what we know about "Dr." Jim Garrow aside for a minute. His claims still don't hold water. Fist off, the information he's passing along is recycled hearsay. Somebody told somebody else who then told "Dr." Jim Garrow who is now telling the public - but those two somebodies have to remain secret. That's not good, reliable information. That's called unverified garbage.

And now let's consider the somebodies. The first somebody is a military officer who was given this litmus test. He was approached and asked about the new expectation that he and other officers be willing to fire on or give the order to fire on Americans. He was so appalled by this test and the implication it had in an unconstitutional dictatorial power grab by Obama that he resigned his commission and left the military. But he didn't go public with this, he just told somebody else. Does that sound like the actions of a military officer to you? I would think a military officer would either stay in service and defend the Constitution from this threat from the inside, or resign and defend the Constitution by going public.

The 2nd somebody else this officer told was a retired former leading military official - a military "legend" according to "Dr." Jim Garrow. This retired legend was also appalled, so he contacted "Dr." Jim Garrow to sound the alarm. Does that sound like the act of a retired military legend? "Dr." Jim Garrow's military "legend" sounds more like a coward to me. Military legends don't cower in the shadows and enlist "Dr." Jim Garrows to fight for them.

Also, even if a military officer and a military "legend" did choose to cower in shadows while a communist dictator takes over the military and the country, why would they use an English born, Canadian raised, virtually unknown former teacher and charity administrator like "Dr." Jim Garrow as their public outlet to sound the alarm? Aren't there a million other people they'd entrust what that role before "Dr." Jim Garrow?

Lastly, our military has about 200,000 officers. If they're being administered this disgusting, unconstitutional, frightening litmus test, why have we only heard about it from "Dr." Jim Garrow? Is it that our military officers are all power-hungry communists more than willing to kill Americans for Obama during his upcoming dictatorial power grab? I come from a military family. My dad was a Naval Lieutenant Commander, and my uncle is a retired Army Colonel and West Point graduate. Neither of them would have stood by silently while this was happening. I can't imagine some 200,000 officers are all either going along with this or remaining quiet about it.

I am quite sober and I have read every post.

Nothing has been offered that would prove Jim Garrow to be a "liar, fraud, and con-man."

It appears that you want to smear the man because he has reported negatively on the president.

Don't you want the truth?
