Van Brunn also decried “the browning of America” and wrote of a Jewish conspiracy “to destroy the White gene-pool.” He posted to various right-wing websites, including Free Republic, where this cached thread (the original was taken down) contains anti-Obama rants. As such, he was also part of the birther movement claiming there is no valid birth certificate for President Obama. The sad part about this is that we have elected officials trying to give this craziness credibility. Congressman Bill Posey of Florida introduced a bill that would require presidential candidates to file copies of birth certificates, and Rep. Bob Goodlatte of Virginia is a co-sponsor. Interesting company they keep.As I posted on Alan Colmes (oddly taken down) and many other sites, Von Brunn was never a Freeper or poster. One and only one of his pieces was cross posted from another site. The "Birther" failed to do any research, believing only what was written, and posted this drivel. (Note the irony).
On a larger point, this is one reason why Birthers are poisonous. It attracts kooks that destroy everything they touch. And the very concept is kooky. If the story had any merit, Hillary would have disqualified Obama in January 2008. The Obama camp and later administration provided enough information to discredit the story, but not enough for those who wish to beleive. To be blunt, Birthers are useful idiots for the left.
What is up with this attack on freepers?
