This is not a news worthy story. Ms NBC will put anything up to bury real stories. Last week Obama's attorney admitted his birth certificate was a forgery. Also last week Libian militias attacks the Leader of the U N delagation with a bomb. And NBC gives us a story about a crack head with $700. Embarassing.
Really? And just "where" did you get this info?

Or you can just goggle it.
Sorry guys, those are NOT legitimate websites,
Again, you prove what is wrong with our American Education System.....
Here's some more of the fine journalism, these websites spew...
What is wrong with you?
That is just the kind of non-critical thinkers the GoP panders too.... they believe anything politically convenient and substantiate/fact check never.... if its negative about Obama they will believe it no matter how ridiculous it is.. GoP = beliefs before substantiated facts... these people have never picked up an official legislative document and read it or ever considered ideas about fixing the country.... to them the country will magically fix itself and the problems that came before Obama took office by removing him from office.... it doesn't matter that the other candidate has offered zero ideas on how to fix things or has pandered himself into a corner.
Strike 3, your in; for good. This is a career criminal who should not be put back on the streets anytime soon. We should be rehabilitating people on their first offense, or possibly second. It should be thorough and teach them a skill that is in demand. If they should return, they ought to be declared an animal and kept like one. Judges and juries should decide if rehabilitation is warranted and banish the ones that are to be punished from society permanently. Animals don't need entertainment or social interaction and should never leave their cages. The cost of keeping them this way would be much lower and help pay for the rehab of the ones who might benefit from it. Capital punishment is too expensive and can't be reversed in the event a person should be found innocent. Killing people is not an enterprise any state should be involved in anyway. Living like an animal, with no hope of being released, is the worst punishment I can think of.
One survey said that 35% of republicans think Obama is the anti-Christ. Go figure, these people are so prejudiced they can't stand the idea of a black man being president. They will never quit. What we have to do is make sure they don't get control of the country. Bonehead and his buddies and even some democrats in congress are determined that a black man will have as little to show for his efforts as possible. If he doesn't get a congress that wants what is best for the American people this time around, he should resign his office in protest. That might overjoy his opponents but it might avoid another 4 years of gridlock politics.
Thanks Leroy I did not know that and for everyone's FYI

Wait...Obama is black?...Holy Crap, why didn't anyone tell me?..next thing you'll tell me is that Hillary Clinton is a woman, pffft, like that will ever happen.
How many presidents, while in office, have people demanded that they produce proof they are a US citizen?..10? 5? all?...how about NONE except Obama. You little closet racists are pathetic and grasping at straws.
How dare we require the president be an American or tell the truth. Damn Americans want everything. I notice you guys didn't dipute the facts just threw the race card and moved on. By the way, My exwife and son are "BLACK" I"m multi racial.
I also read that Mitt Romney is a hermaphrodite pedophile and that his grandfather, Sanchez Romney, crossed the border illegally from Canada in 1893. Not only that but his wife Ann was secretly a dominatrix for the hottest club in Boston, "Schaudenfreud" and has an eyeball growing where her clitoris should be.
Gee...it really is that easy to spread bull@!$%#. Thanks fellas...think I might just start me up an e-mail chain, or possibly open my own website since NOTHING I print about anyone ever has to be true. Thanks Leroy and Leatherneck! Hope your syphilis is healing up nicely.
I think it would be pretty funny if New Jersey didn't allow Obama on the Ballot. Secretary of state gets to make that call. How many electoral votes does New Jersey have?
Of course, WINTERLAND, you could just check for your self. It all happened in a New Jersey courtroom and is public record. It was Obama's legal representation that spilled the beans.
BTW Winterland all your talk about Clits, Hermaphrodites, Sex Clubs and pedophiles kind of shows us what you like.
"how dare we require the president be an American" Yeah, because it's not like our first presidents were English (As in born in colonies of England). I've gone out on a limb, yeah... but that's what makes the interwebz fun. And at least my fact is an accurate one.
@leroy I hope that Tyler gets you. You totally went off topic and just stated some pure BS.
This story was about some fool who sold drugs from a sober house. Not a great story, but definitely not worth your derailment.
News alert NBC. Some cows froze in cold weather. Better run that one all week
NBC I stubbed my toe taking out the garbage. I want some headlines.
Have to agree with you leroy they could find this story on any corner USA.
Tell me about your Panhead. What year what color? You should put a pic up.
It's a Pan Shovel 55pan 76shovel borg and bec 6speed Evo ignition electric start, to old for a kicker any more. 55 frame chopped and raked 42 degrees 8 inch over girder. Camelion black with red and silver eagle on the neck. To dumb about computors to get it up. So to speak. It's looooooong leannnnnn and meannnnnn. Be Cool.
Awesome
As far as the cow story is concerned I think they want to blow that one out of proportion. Literaly, blow it out of proportion.
This is so common and you have a captive customer base inside.........
once a drug dealer, always a drug dealer. lock him up forever, and don't mention it on the news. It's not newsworthy
ROFLMAO...our small community's halfway house had a full blown meth lab in a storage shed on the property. MmmmmmK. It did not make national news so why should this story? It's everywhere and the war on drugs~well you know...
Get the "whale shark" and he is just a "tiny fish." But good job. Go after "whale shark."
Wars we never have, never will win, Korea, Viet Nam, Iraq2, Afghan, Drugs.
I agree with that . Legalize weed.
I live in a little Po-dunk town in the middle of nowhere and we have much bigger drug busts than that. Why bother?
They are running anything to avoid running negative things about barrack. They ran a 5 year old story today about mini van prices.
leroy2112: Yep that's the left for you.

Unless the left can say amazon is political then sorry...
Leatherneck, I'm assuming you are a Marine. Thank You. So, spread the news because it is obvious the media won't. I wonder what they have been threatened with.
It was a woman that ruined Clinton too (actually he ruined himself). GO GIRL! Whiskey glass and a woman's a-- made a horse's a-- of me:) Thought you would like that one Leatherneck...CSGM USA.
leroy2112=Leatherneck, I'm assuming you are a Marine. Yep. Semper FI
So someone posts something on the Amazon forums, and then Amazon is obligated to back the statement?
Even better yet, the post says the website reporting this is TeaPartyTribune.com (obviously quite the objective site), so now Amazon is apparently backing them as well.
Now if you all will excuse me, I have to go post on every forum I can find that the IRS owes me eleventy jergigabillion dollars in back taxes. Since those sites will all have to support me in the claims I post, no matter how absurd, the IRS will be under enormous social pressure to make good on their obligation.
Funniest part of all. SHERIFF JOE was R I G H T .
YEP...
I bet he is a "social worker" too
