On December 11th, Newt Gingrich announced via Twitter that the campaign was proud to accept the endorsement of the Chicago based "Illinois African American Libertarian Alliance"

Now you may be asking yourself. "What the hell is the Illinois African American Libertarian Alliance?" "What the hell is an African American Libertarian Alliance?" "And how did such a group find hundreds of members?"
I certainly asked myself that. First off, since when did libertarians group themselves off by race? Its not really consistent with libertarianism. Second, its hard enough finding a few hundred people to join a regular libertarian group. The Chicago Libertarian Party meetup group only has 353 members Yet these guys found "several hundred" members of a single racial demographic? .
So I set out to find this group. And I found. . . nothing. No facebook page. No meetup group. No myspace. Nothing. There is no evidence of the group existing outside of the articles written by Lorenzo Jones, blogger for Examiner.com
This guy.

Lorenzo Jones writes a lot of articles. Most of which reference this African American Libertarian Alliance. No matter what issue Jones writes about, it carries the full force and authority of an IAALA proclamation. The group officially denounced Eric Holder, the group officially denounced Obama's "Millionaire Tax", they threw a ceremony honoring George Bush on the anniversary of 9/11, threw their support behind the Tea Party, denounced Governor Pat Quinn for one bill and praised him for another, and made it quite clear that they are not fans of Mitt Romney. Thats a lot of official proclamations by one group. All full with quotes by the group's president, David Lemar.
Could it be the unthinkable? Could the group simply be a fictional organization used as a platform for the expression of the political opinions of Lorenzo Jones? I tried contacting him for information about the group and how someone could join. I never heard back.
In a separate, but equally devious article. Lorenzo Jones discusses panhandling on street corners.

Jones claims that he performed a science experiment. He dressed as a hobo with a homemade sign and hit the street. And you know how much he cleared in a day's work? $680. WOW! And here some of us wasted our times going to college, when we could have cleared over $13,000 a month just standing around doing nothing.

See that sign? Cute little Lorenzo hands up top holding it up! Lets take a closer look.

Wow. Either the magic marker is exactly the right size, and he took the picture from exactly the right distance, so that the brush strokes are a perfect match to the Brush tool on Microsoft Paint. Or this sign is a fake. And so is his "experiment"
Lorenzo Jones. All around fraud.
Newt Gingrich. All around idiot.
