Careful, not everything on the internet is true, really.“OBAMA’S TROUBLING INTERNET FUND RAISING”

a purported New York Times editorial written by Maureen Dowd published in the New York Times on June 29th is a hoax being widely circulated on the internet.

For weeks rumors have been rampant about an extravagant scheme that raised $200,000,000 for Obama by using slave computers to debit credit accounts in China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria, etc. The debit is almost immediately credited back and the amounts mysteriously paid to the involved processors / banks from shadow source.

Asside from the fact there is no evidence that has happened; or that foreign Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have been flooding Obama’s websites, and that soliciting or accepting contributions from a “non-green card” foreign national is a one-way ticket to court, and would be one of the dumbest political moves imaginable turns out this is simply a hoax.

    This is most disturbing, and my question is WHY MS. DOWD HERSELF has not refuted this HOAX??
