'UnskewedPolls' Founder: Barack Obama Is 'Actually' Gay

IGOR BOBIC – OCTOBER 1, 2013, 5:58 PM EDT

The conservative activist who gained fame during the 2012 election for "unskewing" polls favorable to Barack Obama explained this weekend his newest revelation: the president is "actually" gay.

Dean Chambers, founder of UnSkewedPolls.com who now appears to work for The Examiner, said that Newsweek got it wrong when it ran a cover praising Obama for his evolution on gay marriage last year. Obama was not "basically" the nation's first gay president for his progressive stance on the issue, but actually so.

"I do believe that Barack Obama is in fact our first gay president," he wrote. "But I believe this for entirely different reasons. I believe the man actually is gay. Don't tell me his marriage to Michelle and having two children disproves that he's gay."

In the article, Chambers cites various sources claiming to show Barack Obama's closeted life in Chicago as a state senator. He takes it even a step further, however, in defending Obama's Christian faith by arguing that people of Muslim faith "are known to stone someone for being gay."

"Would you be a Muslim if it put you as risk for being killed because of your lifestyle choices?" he asks.

Perhaps his brain needs to be unskewed (or unscrewed). He really needs to get a life.

even if President Obama were gay he would not be our first gay president. There are some stories floating around that that distinction belongs to our 15th President, James Buchanan.

But I would think that the same people who fell for his nonsense the first time, would maybe pick up the second time. You know, "fool me once - shame on, shame on you. Fool me - well you can't get fooled again"

You know that poor, crazy bastard who stands on the street corner outside your building, waving his arms and ranting about the coming apocalypse? You don't put him on television or interview him for your website because, let's face it, he's a poor, crazy bastard who can't help himself. Treating him like a legitimate news story (other than to emphasize the abysmal state of mental health care in this country) would be wrong and exploitive, wouldn't it?

So why do you feel the need to quote and otherwise provide a forum for every insane conservative who wants to spin some lunatic conspiracy theory about Obama? Mentally disturbed conservatives hate Obama. We get that. It's not news any more. It's not surprising any more. And given the number of nutcases and their endless desire to be interviewed, it's quite possibly the laziest excuse for journalism since the invention of movable type.

So for chrissakes, will you knock this off and start practicing real journalism?

Thanks for you time.

Their prediction as of November 2, 2012 is below. I wouldn't put too much faith in what the site's founder has to say. They're clearly detached from reality.

Even for RW standards, he's incredibly stupid. During the campaign he couldn't disprove Nate Silver, so he just said "Nate Silver has an effeminate voice".

NOBODY works for the Examiner. They're basically unpaid bloggers.

What's next? Is he going to do a podcast, then refer to himself as a nationally-syndicated radio host?
