Catering To The Fringe

Further proof that the Fox"Nation" is nothing more than Fox"News" without the "Fair and Balanced" mask, a highlighted story from, World Net Daily that attempts to connect Barack Obama to the alleged "Anthrax attacker", Bruce Ivins.

FBI documents detailing the investigation into Bruce Ivins, the government scientist suspected in the 2001 anthrax mailings that left five people dead, reveal he was a cross-dresser, fixated on a college sorority, purchased pornography and was a fan of then-presidential candidate Barack Obama.

Ivins committed suicide in 2008 during the investigation. The FBI later closed the case, essentially confirming it had no other suspects.


There's just one problem with this write-up, Obama was a little known State Senator at the time and NOT a Presidential candidate. But don't expect details that glaringly obvious stop people like WND from pushing such nonsensical prattling.

And while Ivin's may or may not have had mental issues, it should be pointed out that the investigation into him as the man who carried out these attacks does have some issues of reliability. The case against Ivins was largely circumstantial, with many key elements of the case unable to be proven. And the media at large took the FBI's and DOJ's "case closed" statement and ran with it. So much for "liberal media bias".

But this isn't the only example of the fringe, conservative, elements within the country attempting to connect Obama with murderous activities. Conservatives used this same tactic with Amy Bishop.
