Urban Legend: Walter Williams didn't write "No Matter What"

Snopes   This article improperly attributed to Dr. Walter E. Williams (pictured at right). The retraction and apology from RiteOn.org  is quoted at the link and here: 

 We published an article that we thought was written by him and we have subsequently found out it was not. The title of the article we published was "No Matter What" and it was published on April1. Please be informed that this article was mistakenly attributed to Dr Williams.We admire Dr. Williams work and the article we published was not written by him and was, in fact, a "phony" that fooled us also. We hope, by way of this explanation, to inform those who took the article as genuine to know that it was bogus and that Dr Williams had nothing to do with thewriting of the article entitled "No Matter What" that appeared under the column entitled "A Bad Dream" published on the RiteOn web site on April 1.We erred in not researching the real source of the article prior to publication and we erred in publishing it. We try within our means to avoid publishing phony material of the sort represented by this article and we are sorry we failed to catch the mistake prior to publication.  Chuck MacNab, Editor and Publisher, RiteOn.org

This TEA Party site also publishes both the purported Williams article and the retraction.


We searched the web but couldn't find who the author of this piece is. It is regrettable that some of the ideas expressed in the article are lost in the turmoil over its authorship. TD
