Just when you think the crazy doesn't get any worse, they prove you wrong. Like this guy, whose pension and medical benefits are paid for by the taxpayers of this great nation, but who is just about as unpatriotic and disgusting as they get.

Via Foreign Policy:

"I have to admit that I'm a Birther," said SOS founder Larry Bailey, a retired 27-year veteran of the Navy SEALs, in an interview. "If there were a jury of 12 good men and women and the evidence were placed before them, there would be absolutely no question Barack Obama was not born where he said he was and is not who he says he is."

Bailey, who is part of the leadership of SOS's effort to mobilize thousands to take to the streets to denounce Obama's treatment of the military through an SOS project called Operation Street Corner, doesn't only believe that the president is a foreigner. He also believes that he is not actually the son of Barack Obama, Sr. Bailey trumpeted the conspiracy theory that the president is actually the love child of Ann Dunham and writer Frank Marshall Davis."

In his books, Obama said his mentor was a fellow named Frank Marshall Davis. Frank Marshall Davis was a member of Communist Party USA, he wrote for the communist party's Hawaii newsletter, he was a close friend of Obama's mother, and there's a strong case that Frank Marshall Davis rather than Barack Obama, Sr. was Barack Obama, Jr.'s father and that Barack Obama, Sr. was just an administrative father of convenience," Bailey said.

The crazy runs strong in this one, my friends. Evidently that taxpayer-funded healthcare isn't covering his meds. But he would also like you to know that he was one of the allied SwiftBoaters that aimed at Kerry in 2004, too. He's an equal opportunity kind of hater that way.

Bailey said he came up with the idea for SOS earlier this year and organized some fellow former special operations guys, mostly in their 60s and 70s, with the mission of helping Obama's opponent win.

"I had an idea that we could lend a hand to the effort of getting the White House expunged of what's there now and elect someone more to my liking," Bailey said.

Well there ya go. We should all bow to our military overlords, it seems.

The love child of Frank Marshall Davis. Wow. Who knew communism was genetic?

I suppose it would be impertinent of me to inquire as to how it can possibly be that Barack Obama was born in Kenya to an African-American writer who lived in Hawaii? Seems to me the whole "love child of Frank Marshall Davis and Stanley Ann Dunham" theory puts the birther theory in a dark deep hole and throws dirt over the top of it forever, doesn't it? Forget that there's no evidence that Obama's mother and Davis ever crossed paths, or that Davis was old enough to be her father.

This is how these theories go. First you find every black guy in Hawaii in the 60s. Then you narrow that list to the black guys that were vocal or activist in some way, particularly in the area of social justice. Then you assume, with no evidence whatsoever, that they had an affair with a 18-year old white college student. Ignore all actual evidence. That's not necessary. Papers are only important in Arizona. If you hate Barack Obama, papers are a hindrance.

It's far better to theorize about who his father might be rather than pay attention to factual information about who his father actually was.

It's far better to imagine he can simultaneously not be a US citizen and still born to two US citizens having an illicit affair than it is to actually understand that he is a US citizen.

These people are seriously deranged and in my opinion, dangerous.
