In a desperate attempt to "prove" Obama's radical ties, the latest straw to be grasped by the nutjobs is a fundraiser held in the home of one Naomi Jaffe in Brooklyn NY. "NAOMI JAFFE: OBAMA FUNDRAISER, AYERS’ COMPATRIOT" screams the headline at No Quarter. The article goes into great detail about Naomi Jaffe's ties to the SDS and the Weather Underground. Only problem: two minutes of Googling proves that the Obama fundraiser and the 60's radical are two different people!
According to Wikipedia, Naomi Esther Jaffe, the SDS and WU member was born in 1943 and currently lives in Albany NY. WhitePages.com shows a Naomi B Jaffe listed at the address of the fundraiser shown on mybarackobama.com and her age as 50-54.
I get that desperate people like Larry Johnson and his ilk want to do everything possible to sow the seeds of doubt about Barack Obama. It's all they have left. But they have published the address of a yoga instructor on what can only be described as a hate site and wrongly called her a domestic terrorist.
If one of Larry's unhinged minions does something foolish based on this lie, I hope he will be held accountable. And in any event, I hope Naomi Jaffe of Brooklyn sues his ass off.
Please, if you see this lie begin to spread to other wingnut sites (trust me, it already has and could gain momentum), try to counteract with the truth. We have already seen too much hatred and violence.
