Remembering Al Gore’s Uncle
By Kleinheider Posted on March 31, 2009 at 11:32 pmTom Humphrey recalls his encounters with Whit LaFon:
I called Judge LaFon back when he was accused of drug trafficking and various other misdeeds by World Net Daily as part of a curious smear campaign that, rightfully I suspect, never got any traction in mainstream media. But it was a big deal among the right-wing radio clan.
The allegations were so sensational, I gave him a call just to see if he’d say anything. (The Gore gang wasn’t.) He answered the phone, but declined any comment on the record. I left that one lay.
I saw him some time later at an event honoring veterans at the state capitol. He was a frail old gentleman wearing one of those American Legion hats and a name tag. Introduced myself, chatted a moment, and mentioned the effort to contact him earlier.
He said Al had told him to be quiet about that “pile of (animal excrement),” but that it was absurd conjecture and had made him madder than anything he had ever experienced — and he was really like to vent about it sometime. I gave him a card with my phone number. He never called.

SCANDALS! SCANDALS! SCANDALS!
MANY OF THE WORST CASES OF RACIAL PREJUDICE IN WORLD HISTORY!
LONG LIVE PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA!
Barack Obama is a racial minority and does not like racism.
WORLDWIDE DISSEMINATION OF INFORMATION RELATING TO SCANDALS:
(I) I do solemnly swear by Almighty God that George W. Bush committed atrocious, racist, hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism which I am not at liberty to mention. Many people know what Bush did. And many people will know what Bush did—even until the end of the world. Bush was absolute evil. Bush is now like a fugitive from justice. In any case, Bush will go down in history in infamy.
(II) It is opined that Bill Clinton committed terrifying, racist, hate crimes during his presidency, and I am not free to say anything further about it. ‘Be sure your sins will find you out’ (Numbers 32:23).
(III) What if basically all racial-minority people would subscribe to the interpretations that George Herbert Walker Bush committed monstrous, racist, hate crimes while he was the President of the United States? It will eventually come out: it is only a matter of time.
(IV) I know it may be hard to believe. However, Ronald Wilson Reagan committed horrible, racist, hate crimes during his presidency.
- The Disseminating Machine
(There are thousands of copies on the Internet in the U.S.A. indicating the contents of (I), (II), (III), and (IV). For example, one can go to Google right now, type “George W. Bush committed hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism,” hit “Enter,” and readily find 1,000 or more copies indicating content of (I). For example, one can go to Msn right now, type “It is opined that Bill Clinton committed racist hate crimes, and I am not free to say anything further about it,” hit “Enter,” and readily find more than 500 copies indicating content of (II). For example, one can go to Msn right now, type “George Herbert Walker Bush committed monstrous, racist, hate crimes,” hit “Enter,” and readily find more than 260 copies indicating content of (III). For example, one can go to Msn right now, type “Ronald Wilson Reagan committed horrible, racist, hate crimes during his presidency,” hit “Enter,” and readily find more than 270 copies indicating content of (IV). The contents of (I), (II), (III), and (IV) exist very extensively in all major search engines in the U.S.A. and in numerous search engines beyond the U.S.A. There are thousands of copies in numerous countries around the world. For example, there are countless copies on the Internet in Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Korea, Norway, Russia, Sweden, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Ukraine, etc. Copies in foreign countries are typically written in respective foreign languages through the use of computer programs on the Internet that make such translations possible.)
