There's an email going around which says "the White House is quietly using
a little known provision of the [Obamacare] law to roll out a nationwide
network of free gas stations for minorities and the poor."
The email cites its source as an article titled "Government Opening Free
Gas Stations in Poor
Neighborhoods<http://dailycurrant.com/2013/10/29/government-opening-free-gas-stations-in-poor-neighborhoods/>,"
by an anonymous and unidentified author (always suspicious) on a website
called *The Daily Currant*.
The article refers to its source as a column in *The Detroit News* written
by Nolan Finley. But the *Daily Currant* piece does not provide an embedded
link to its source -- another suspicious sign.
Don't fall for it. It's a hoax.
How do I know?
1. Go to the article's site on *Daily Currant*. Look at the headlines on
the right of your screen: "NASA Finds Message From God on Mars"; "Pope
Benedict Comes Out As Gay"; "Selena Gomez says [Justin] Bieber Has 'Tiny
Weird Penis'"; "House Republicans Schedule Obama Impeachment
Hearings." *Daily
Currant is a satire website*, like the more famous *Daily Onion* that *Daily
Currant* clearly is trying to mimic.
2. I went on the *Detroit News*
website<http://www.detroitnews.com/section/OPINION0305>.
Although there is a Nolan Finley, who is the editorial page editor
of *Detroit
News*, a search of the articles he's written shows he has never written
an alleged one on free gas stations.
Falling for hoaxes like this makes us conservatives look like fools.
While I understand that the news of Obama giving free gas to poor blacks
appears credible because of those free Obama phones, we need to exercise
caution about such claims because they feed in to our preconceptions about
Obama. And that is exactly what the unnamed cowardly *Daily Currant* author
-- who should be tarred and feathered -- is exploiting.
So when you get that email about Obama giving free gas to poor blacks, send
this post to your email correspondent and ask him/her to stop disseminating
a hoax.
A big h/t to FOTM's joworth for alerting me to this hoax!
