Jerry Hall Using BOGUS Quote From Bill Crosby on Campaign Website

By DON WINNER for Panama-Guide.com - When it rains, it pours. The fake "Doctor" Jerry Hall, who is running as a candidate in the Republican Primary in the race for the Congressional seat to represent the 4th District of Texas, has now been caught using a completely "bogus" quote that's supposedly attributed to the famous comedic actor Bill Cosby, on his official website. You can see the quote on Jerry Hall's website here: www.jerryhallforcongress.org/billcosbysideas.html. Well, at least you will be able to see it there until Jerry runs to his website manager and tells him to take it down now that he's been uncovered (again.) One more thing - whoever is running Jerry Hall's website doesn't know what he's doing, and the "Bill Cosby" quote page is incorrectly formatted to display on the Google Chrome browser software. It comes up fine on Internet Explorer, however. Well, at least it will until Jerry Hall yanks it down in embarrassment. What's posted is supposedly a quote from Bill Cosby - "I have decided to become a write-in candidate, and here is my platform." It goes on to say:

• (1) 'Press 1 for English' is immediately banned. English is the official language; speak it or wait at the border until you can.
  
  
• (2) We will immediately go into a two year isolationist posture to straighten out the country's attitude. NO imports, no exports.. We will use the Wal-Mart's policy, 'If we ain't got it, you don't need it.'
  
  
• (3) When imports are allowed, there will be a 100% import tax on it.
  
  
• (4) All retired military personnel will be required to man one of our many observation towers on the southern border (six month tour).. They will be under strict orders not to fire on SOUTHBOUND aliens..
  
  
• (5) Social security will immediately return to its original state If you didn't put nuttin in, you ain't gettin nuttin out. The president nor any other politician will be able to touch it.
  
  
• (6) Welfare - Checks will be handed out on Fridays at the end of the 40 hour school week and the successful completion of urinalysis and a passing grade.
  
  
• (7) Professional Athletes--Steroids.. The FIRST time you check positive you're banned for life.
  
  
• (8) Crime - We will adopt the Turkish method, the first time you steal, you lose your right hand. There is no more life sentences. If convicted of murder, you will be put to death by the same method you chose for your victim; gun, knife, strangulation, etc.
  
  
• (9) One export will be allowed, Wheat. The world needs to eat. A bushel of wheat will be the exact price of a barrel of oil.
  
  
• (10) All foreign aid using American taxpayer money will immediately cease, and the saved money will pay off the national debt and ultimately lower taxes. When disasters occur around the world, we'll ask the American people if they want to donate to a disaster fund, and each citizen can make the decision whether it's a worthy cause.
  
  
• (11) The Pledge of Allegiance will be said every day at school and every day in Congress.
  
  
• (12) The National Anthem will be played at all appropriate ceremonies, sporting events, outings, etc.

And Now - The Truth: Apparently Jerry Hall didn't take the time to check this supposed "quote": on snopes.com before putting it up on his website. You can read the entire story about this "quote" at this link: www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/platform.asp. In short, it's more crap from Jerry Hall. Bill Cosby never said it. However the real Bill Cosby actually did respond to this hoax - just before the 2008 U.S. presidential election, Bill Cosby himself disclaimed involvement with this "write-in candidate" e-mail on his web site:

• BILL COSBY IS NOT A WRITE-IN CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT - I am not a write-in candidate for President. The statement purportedly from me stating that I am a candidate is a hoax. The platform attributed to me (and at various times to Robin Williams, Andy Rooney and George Carlin) does not represent my views and in many respects is abhorrent to me. Apparently those bloggers and websites who continue to spread this hoax do not care to do even minimal fact checking.

Fact Checking - Yeah, Right: Well, since I've started to do a little "fact checking" on Jerry Hall, it sure has turned into a target-rich environment. Basically nothing about this guy is true or genuine. He decided to latch onto a bogus piece of email spam and hang his hat on it, although the real Bill Cosby finds the content of that post to be "abhorrent." You might as well run to take a look right now while it's still there, because I'm certain Jerry Hall will run to pull it down the minute he sees this article. Knowing him, he will then turn around, call me a "nut bucket" and claim that it was never there in the first place. Right. Great way to get elected to the US House of Representatives - ignore the content of the message and vehemently attack the messenger. And by the way, the army of fact checkers is growing - I didn't find this one myself, someone else tipped me off. Hey! That's a great game we can play - try to find more crap and lies being pushed by Jerry Hall on his official website. My bet's on the whole "fake prophet" angle - real Christians don't conduct themselves in this manner.
