Still no sign of that rumored video of Michelle Obama saying bad stuff about white people. Reason magazine suggests that might be because a guy named Larry Johnson has been going around slangin' lies about a video he's never seen. The magazine's blog claims Johnson sits at the epicenter of the Michelle Obama video frenzy as the "blogger who's done the most to make the rumors public," and goes on to document the ways in which Johnson has changed his story about the purported video. When confronted with the inconsistencies and deemed a liar by the libertarian publication, Johnson advised Reason writer David Wiegel to "fuck off."

It's noteworthy that Johnson, a former counterterrorism official at the State Department, would be at the center of this both because of his support for Hillary Clinton and his distinct knack for getting things wrong. Real wrong. Check out his New York Times op-ed about the "the declining terrorist threat" written two months before the 9/11 attacks. ("Americans have little to fear.") Johnson still stands by that piece, and shows no signs of letting up with the Michelle Obama rumors, alleging last night that "my sources have not backed off" and that the Democratic nominee was in a "state of denial" about the video. Seems like someone might be asking for a "fuck off" of his very own.
