You knew that somewhere down the line, some wingnut was going to claim that the butchery last week in Connecticut was orchestrated by that Kenyan socialist Mooslim in the White House. Well, Michele Bachmann's BFF, Bradlee Dean, just went there. Dean recently penned a column in WorldNutDaily arguing that the shootings at Sandy Hook and Aurora were part of a government plot to win support for a UN treaty that would effectively ban assault weapons.
The Sandy Hook shooting occurred just days after Sen. Rand Paul sent out an alert that the U.N. was set to pass the final version of the Small Arms Treaty, supported by Obama the day after election.
Part of the treaty bans the trade, sale and ownership of all semi-automatic weapons … like the one Adam Lanza used to kill 20 children and 6 adults.
The “Batman shooting” in Aurora, Colo., also happened to coincide with the same time as negotiations of the U.N. Small Arms Treaty.
The timing is impeccable.
Dean then doubles down on the crazy by claiming that numerous eyewitness reports from Newtown claim that Adam Lanza wasn't the only shooter at Sandy Hook--an indication that the shooting was staged. He also cites supposed eyewitness reports saying that there were multiple shooters at Columbine, Tucson, the Sikh Temple in Wisconsin and Aurora. Unfortunately, these eyewitness accounts all come from conspiracy theory sites.
Not to outdo himself, Dean has put together a YouTube video which argues that Ruby Ridge, the Branch Davidian standoff, the Oklahoma City bombing, Columbine and 9/11 were all staged by the government.
Can you believe this loon is actually invited to speak to kids in schools?
Dean then goes for the trifecta--claiming that Obama is going the same path as Adolf Hitler.
When the “fire” is started, these government gun banners are right there to strip away your rights in an attempt to gain control under the guise of “putting out the fire.”
Adolf Hitler was responsible for attacking his own Reichstag to start a world war. Hitler was also responsible for sending his brownshirts to incite the people so he could play the role of solving their problems. No one believed Hitler was guilty of these crimes until after the fact.
Then it was too late.
Today, these gun banners are doing the opposite of what our forefathers fought, bled and died to give us.
Sheesh. And some of these wingnuts think that we liberals have mental problems.
It should be noted that Rick Santorum now writes a column for WorldNutDaily. Hmmm--would you vote for someone who writes for a publication that sees fit to run such stark raving lunacy? I wouldn't.
