Larry Sinclair's "War": It Ain't Done Yet

The Lawrence W. (Larry) Sinclair debacle continues as he bravely battles against conspiracy, hypocrisy, and, well, bloggers.

Sinclair claims to have been intimate (while high on cocaine) with a presidential candidate. If you're not familiar with his story, which has actually been out there for a while now, just Google his name and plenty of sites will emerge that support Sinclair's claims (despite his lack of evidence).

For the opposition's point of view, visit The Mitch and Nan Show. They're as interested in questioning and disproving Sinclair's allegations as he is bent on destroying said presidential candidate. He's got a gang of supporters, including the notorious white supremacist-affiliated Vanguard News Network (and that is pretty telling), who have been occupying themselves with sending out mass emails to private citizens and to news media. They've also been creating and distributing flyers that repeat the sordid, kind of creepy, claims.

Despite all of the pro-Larry efforts, the Sinclair debunkers--Mitch and Nan et. al. seem to have been more successful at proving their case than Sinclair is at proving his. Rather than present evidence that supports his assertions, Sinclair simply piles accusation onto accusation; when challenged, he accuses people of working for politicians or he threatens lawsuits. Mitch and Nan, on the other hand, have been posting documents that either (further) undermine Sinclair's credibility or provide examples of contradictory statements or outright falsehoods that Sinclair has posted on his, and other, sites.

Unfortunately, some people have gone a little crazy with the Sinclair-directed hostility. Then again, he's given as good as he's got. Without the added excitement of the presidential element, this would be just another online pissing contest / flame war.
