Hey, "Birthers"! Here's what your new spokeswoman is

We've all seen this video:



Here's what radio's own anal cyst had to say about it:

State of Delaware, Mike Castle, town meeting, woman wants to know why nobody's interested in the fact that he hasn't shown anybody his birth certificate. If you couldn't understand her, she was saying he's a citizen of Kenya. I'm American. My father worked, fought in World War II, the greatest generation, Pacific theater for this country, and I don't want this flag to change. The crowd went nuts. There's all kinds of stuff bubbling up out there.

The wingnuts just LOVE this woman...just as much as they loved that equally crazy woman who told John McCain that she can't trust Barack Obama because he's an Arab.

There's just one problem. It sounds to me like "Birther woman" may very well be schizophrenic:
The star of the show -- known as "Crazy Eileen" to callers of a Sussex County talk radio station -- has gone into seclusion, declining interviews and avoiding publicity, even as previous statements by her have emerged referring to Obama as "the antichrist" and speaking of aliens and angels.

The video of the Castle meeting, taken by someone in the audience, shows the woman holding a small American flag and what she said was her birth certificate, asking why people are ignoring Obama's birth. She charged that Obama is a citizen of Kenya, not the United States.

Castle, a Republican, was booed at the meeting while reiterating that Obama is a U.S. citizen.

The crowd applauded and cheered as the woman yelled, "I don't want this flag to change! I want my country back!"

The Constitution states that a person must be a "natural-born citizen" to be eligible for the presidency. The birthers contend that Obama's Hawaiian birth certificate is a fake, and many say he was actually born in Kenya, his father's homeland.

Limbaugh, the nationally syndicated radio talk show host, joked that Obama and God have something in common -- the lack of a birth certificate. Dobbs has broached the issue several times, saying at one point, "The questions won't go away."

And 10 Republican members of Congress have co-sponsored a bill that would require future presidential candidates to provide a copy of their original birth certificate.

Little is known about the woman who triggered the recent firestorm. Gaffney, the WGMD morning host, said she is believed to be from the Millsboro area.

According to another WGMD host, Jared Morris, she has been banned from calling the station -- known for its conservative leanings and hosts -- on several occasions.

In a call from a January show, on New Year's predictions, the woman discusses aliens, angels and the end of life on Earth, according to an audio clip Morris posted on YouTube this week.

In a videotaped introduction, Morris said the woman featured on the YouTube video from the meeting was a regular caller to his program.

"I want you guys to know exactly who you were cheering," Morris said in the clip.

She repeatedly has called Obama "the antichrist" on the airwaves, and "her phone calls have turned to faxes and threats," according to Morris.

"I have actually talked to an angel who came down in human form," she said during the Jan. 1 show. "We will have alien contact in October of this year, in the southwestern USA."

Here's the video posted by Jared Morris:



I'm sure Jared Morris will be excoriated by the lunatic fringe of wingnuttia just the way conservative talk show host "Mancow" was after he volunteered to be waterboarded, lasted six seconds, and acknowledged that waterboarding is torture.

So this latest heroine to Rush Limbaugh and the rest of his hate-spewing ilk has seen aliens and knows that Barack Obama has been revealed to her as the Antichrist. Does Limbaugh actually think that someone like this woman, or like fellow "birther" James Van Brunn, isn't going to try to "take their country back" at the point of a gun, cheered on by the Limbaughites?

This is a dangerous game these wingnuts are playing, and you can bet that when one of their disciples does something horrific, they'll be spinning away from them as fast as they can.
