These people will never stop with their lies and misinformation. This time, like many other, the lies are coming from a so-called Pastor. His name is James David Manning, pastor of Atlah World Missionary Church. Pastor Manning is no stranger to lying. He is just as guilty as Donald Trump for pushing the lie that President Obama was born in Kenya.
Now that the Birther lie is not as strong as it once was, Pastor Manning is pushing another lie to his faithful followers – most of whom I’m sure are Republicans. In his new lie, the Pastor is claiming that President Obama and Miriam Carey, the Connecticut mother who was shot and killed in Washington when she tried to ram her car into police barricades, are parents of the child found in the dead woman’s car.
The pastor, citing no facts to back up his lie simply because there aren’t any, is telling anyone who will listen that her family has demanded a paternity test to prove that the President is indeed the father of her 15 month old child. The family has asked U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to look into the case but nothing has been said about paternity, in fact they are involved in a custody dispute with the child’s actual father.
In his latest rant Manning asserts that Carey’s sister has gathered the requisite number of signatures needed to require that the investigation be opened on her petition hosted by Change.org petition, insinuating that the petition carries some kind of legal weight. Change.org is a private sector business which hosts petitions for a fee and has absolutely no legal standing at all. Even if it did it is highly unlikely that 586 signatures would be sufficient to require action.
He claims that it was not the Capitol Police who shot her and that it was actually an elite “hit squad” operating under direct orders from the President. His source for this is a “news service” known as What Does It Mean? This website has a number of stories reminiscent of the National Enquirer with headlines such as Evidence That 5 Million Americans Have Been ‘Disappeared’ By Obama Shocks Russians.
Expect this to be the new truth for the low information Republicans, who are more than satisfied with taking nonsense and turning it into their version on the truth… especially when it involves the President of the United States. At some point, you have to believe that the President is shaking his head in disbelief at all these dumb people.
