Might I remind readers here that Bill Pascoe was the wit and wisdom behind the “political strategy” of having Barack Obama harassed by a impressionable young videographer who pointed his camera in Obama’s face everywhere he went, 24/7, during the 2004 Senate campaign in Illinois. Quite literally, the only places this poor approval seeking teenager was told not to go was inside Barack’s home and inside public bathrooms. To Pascoe’s publicly displayed frustration, Mr. Obama tolerated this sleazy harassment with grace and dignity.

Pascoe was part of Jack Ryan’s campaign staff, defended this teenager’s rights of a free press, while paying him to do so. This was before Ryan’s wife filed for divorce because Ryan required her to go with him to sex clubs. Remarkably, Pascoe was able to keep Ryan’s campaign alive for weeks after his candidate’s moral corruption became common knowledge.

When Ryan sensibly dropped out of the race it cut off Pascoe’s income. Pascoe, clever fellow that he is, single-handedly convinced Alan Keyes to move from New York, replace Ryan, so that Pascoe could run his campaign for Senate against Obama in Illinois. In doing so, Pascoe recreated his income stream.

Pascoe has quite a distinguished career as someone who will do anything to stuff his pockets full of fees for serving as a “political consultant”.

It makes me chuckle to think that the National Republican Party ever picked Pascoe to be their national spokesman.

The sole reason Pascoe was able to respond to Brooks Jackson’s “Misquoting Lincoln” article so quickly is because he already knew this quote from Lincoln was fake and had prepared a response in advance of its publication.

Pascoe is an mildly amusing anklebiter. He and all other principles involved in Diana Irey’s campaign in 2004 were repeatedly told that Irey’s Lincoln quote was a fake. For three weeks during which he was repeatedly advised of this he milked this fraudulent quote until he could not squeeze one more penny in campaign donations from it.

I’m quite familiar with Pascoe’s personality flaws. I’m the one who repeatedly explained to him this Lincoln quote was fraudulent, and repeatedly offered him my proof which he refused … before I took my evidence to Brooks Jackson Factcheck.org. He wrote the article you reference above.
