Proud to be a 'Love Letter Truther'
Exclusive: Jack Cashill analyzes latest literary clue about BHO's supposed writing skill

Excerpt:
"In a recent column, I posited that Barack Obama did not in any meaningful way write the love letter Washington Post reporter David Maraniss unearthed for his new book, “Barack Obama: The Story.”
The wannabe author who wrote the spectacularly awful “Breaking the War Mentality” for the Columbia University Sundial under his own name could not have written this esoteric, exquisitely punctuated letter unaided during the same time period.
As I wrote at the time, Maraniss “owes his reader some proof of the letter’s legitimacy. He should tell us whether he saw a hard copy of the letter, whether it was typed or hand-written, and why it reads so much better than Obama’s published work of the same period. He does none of the above.”
After I had raised these questions, David Weigel of Slate posed them to Maraniss. Weigel’s great claim to fame, by the way, is that he coined the term “birther.” Hoping perhaps to strike gold twice, Weigel published Maraniss’s response in an article titled “Meet the Obama Love Letter Truthers.”
“It is preposterous on its face, utterly made of whole cloth,” wrote Maraniss about my assertion that Obama did not write the letter in question without help, I being the only “Love Letter Truther” on the planet.
“It is not worth taking seriously, in my opinion, and fruitless in any case with people who want to believe what they want to believe, despite all facts and common sense to the contrary,” Maraniss continued.
I did not accuse Maraniss of fraud. For the record, I just wanted to know in what format he saw this letter. As the reader will observe, he did everything but answer the questions I posed."
