Was Obama's Mom A Porn Star Story Will Make The Mainstream Media

The Obama's mom as porn star story continues its journey into weirdness! Image source: vidcap of a Youtube video that no longer exists.
So I was scanning the stories from people I subscribe to on Youtube yesterday, and what should I come across than a story from The Young Turks about the Frank Gilbreth video claiming that Obama's mother, Stanley Dunham, was a porn star. A story that I had covered way back in June when my flying monkeys brought in a report about it.

Well you can be sure I bookmarked that sucker, in fact, I left a tab of it up, because clearly I had my next day's blog post all set up, updating the original story with something to the effect that the mainstream media might be picking up on it.

I check in on Youtube today and click the link for the story and I get one of those annoying gray boxes that say "Sorry! This video has been removed by the user!"

Whaaa?

Fortunately, a search for the video shows that it has been uploaded by another Youtube poster. You can see it here. Might want to click on the link fast, as one of the theories is that Youtube had The Young Turks take it down because of the pics of Marcy Moore nekkid with black bars across her naughty bits, so that video could be dropping out too.

This is not my theory concerning why the video was taken down. I think the Young Turks did some poor reporting and got embarrassed and took the story down on their own. (Plus, I didn't see the story on the Young Turks' website, and if they stand behind it, you'd think they would have published it there.)

Why do I think The Young Turks dropped the video about the story? Because nowhere in the video (or the Digital Journal blog post they cite as a basis for their story) does Cenk mention a key fact: that the Frank Marshall theory has been around for years in the conservative blogosphere, something that a quick Google search and some reading with comprehension easily made apparent back in June when I covered the story.


Made a vidcap of the cite for the Young Turks story, too. Just in case, y'know. Image source: vidcap.
To be fair, it now it takes a LOT of searching to find evidence of it's prior existence (or you can just add 2008 to the keywords Obama's mom porn star), because every last blog on the Interwebs is reporting on it. But here's a post from 2009 about Obama's mother posing for porn photos way back when, pointing out that they missed the story when it first broke in 2008.

This is not a new story, but all those blogs and websites reporting on it are treating it as if it were. And there has to be some good reason that all those mainstream conservative news sites that played up birtherism and young earth creationism as if they weren't bull-goose looneytude, chose NOT to pick up on this juicy tidbit that's been around so long. Such as that it stinks to high heaven.

The only new thing about the story, in fact, is that the Republican dirty tricksters have decided to use Gilbert's video as part of their election year bag of filthy tricks, and that some undetermined number of them are being sent to voters in Ohio and probably elsewhere. (I'm not sure I buy Gilbert's claim of a million videos with three million more to come, but then again, with all that post-Citizens United millionaire money floating around out there, why should the Republicans do things by half measures?)

And if the story is true, and Gilbert owns the rights to the video, he's probably a millionaire now if he made just one dollar of profit per copy, and his numbers are correct. Scumbaggery scores again. Sigh.

However, with the widespread coverage the story is getting on the Internet news sites, I don't see how the mainstream media can ignore it for much longer and I don't think they will. I may yet get to see some Fox News commentator having to take the story seriously. Hopefully a female one, that would be sexy and funny at the same time. "Yes, that is Obama's mom's butt, it's round and firm just like hers ... and mine!"


Here we have it! Visual proof that Mitt Romney's mother did bondage modelling, for we have incontrovertible evidence that the wall in this image is IDENTICAL to the wall in the parking garage in the Romney household! What's more, we ALSO have incontrovertible proof that the man in the black suit using the dildo on a stick is none other than Rand Paul's father, Ayn Rand!!!! Where do I go to get my million dollars, please? (That Hogtied.com watermark in the corner ... a dirty liberal trick! Ignore it! Image source: Hogtied.com -- of course! P.S. the model is actually contortionist model extraordinaire Winona ... don't tell the dirty tricksters!
