About That “Girl Burning an Obama” Shirt Viral Video…

The video is going viral on conservative sites so I thought that it might be a good idea to provide some context.
Carey Elizabeth Wedler is Adam Kokesh’s girlfriend. Kokesh is a radical anti-war activist who worked with Code Pink and MoveOn.org. He briefly had a TV show on Putin’s RT propaganda network.
Wedler has been pulling the “I’m no longer an Obama fan” routine for a while now over the usuals for the Ron Paul crowd, mainly drone strikes on Al Qaeda terrorists.
Like Kokesh and the rest of that crowd, Wedler is a sick twisted individual filled with hate for her own country. You can see a sample of that in her post after the Boston Marathon bombings: “The Victims of American Terrorism”.
What if the reporters of the corporate media spent their hours detailing the lives and interests of children bombed in Pakistan or Afghanistan? Children who loved sports, playing outside (when there seems to be no risk of a drone attack), and their parents…
It would be a shock, if instead of making excuses for the soldiers who lose their minds to PTSD and the general horrors of enforcing occupation, the media recognized the humanity of the civilians they violently murder…
The sad deaths of “all-Americans” and perfect daughters evoke particular sympathy and compassion among American nationalists. However, the same journalistic focus, when applied to horrific US foreign policy, might mobilize public opinion to put a stop to the much bigger, more systemic plague of innocent death at the hands of the US military…
Carey Wedler isn’t attacking Obama from the right, she’s attacking him from the left. She feels that he hasn’t done enough to surrender to terrorists.
Wedler’s performances resemble the brainwashed productions of LaRouche Youth and their Communist predecessors. There is that same rigidity, inappropriate intensity and air of denunciation. That same sense of a young brainwashed person spewing hateful diatribes that they barely understand and whose implications they don’t even begin to grasp.
