Normally I won't post a blog as news. But this one has links to all the news stories involved, along with updates. All the stories are tied together.

Whats bad about this is it this pans true, and the perp really IS a pledged Obama delegate...well, I doubt there is any spin that can fix this mess.

---and PS, click on the story and read it. This is too good.

So if this Swinton woman does indeed turn out to have faked the "Sarah" call, it's national news because (a) this Texas polygamy cult story has been all over cable TV news, and (b) well . . . Rusty Shackleford:

    Rozita Swinton, the woman arrested today for falsely tipping off the police that she was an abused child bride at the FLDS polygamy cult in Texas is a PLEDGED BARACK OBAMA STATE DELEGATE!!

Rusty links to Patterico, who discovered the Obama angle. Rusty's finely tuned B.S. detector led him to suspect something fishy about this teen-bride story from the get-go. If it is indeed true that Swinton faked the raped-and-abused-virgin-cult-teen call -- man!

A freaking Obama delegate! Does it get any weirder than that? I'm just wondering what her motive could have been.

First the Titanic tha is Obama hit an iceburg over the statements he made in PA and now she's taking on water fast with this little revelation of a delegate that made false accusations to the cops. If this pans out he'll never make it to the Dems Convention.

I don't know how true it is. However, interesting turn of event. I think this raid was based on faulty information. The FLDS raid was based on a fake emergency call from a person in Colorado. As it turns out, it is an Obama delegate.

Yeah, some Obama delegate pretended to be a teenager that was being abused by this cult in Texas, turns out that she was really a 30+ something with a criminal background from Colorado and she was a pledged delegate.

Some reports (I'll have to find them again) say that law enforcement was working with an informant and had been for a while. I got the impression that they had more than the tipster.

DU isn't touching this one.   :-)  The closest mention of Swinton I can find there is that she might be psychic  :mental:
