Free Republic founder rushes to Trump's defense by linking to anti-semitic conspiracy channel


(Robinson, with close personal friend Ann Coulter)


In a front page thread posted yesterday, in response to the controversy over Donald Trump's remarks regarding John McCain, , head wingnut and creator of rightwing haven Free Republic Jim Robinson doubles down on his support of Trump with a post titled "John McCain Exposed By Vietnam Vets And POWs"


(screengrabbed, in case he tried to make it go down the memory hole)

http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3313658/posts

The post has no text, but links to a shady montage video (which I'm not embedding and giving them hits) of the same title, in which clips from various wingnutty has-beens like Bob Dornan and Bob Smith imply that McCain betrayed nonexistent POWS held in Vietnam in the 1980s (a popular conspiracy theory among wingnuts).

To give you an idea of the kind of sources RimJob uses, the video is posted on a Youtube channel run by someone listed as "iwillspyonyou"

Here's a look at the lunacy this guy posts in the other videos he made - conspiracy theories, smearing the victims of mass shootings, raging anti-semitism and crazy lizard people theorists abound, all with the endorsement of Free Republic's illustrious founder:

"Sandy Hook, Robbie Parker (Actor) Getting Into Character"
"Israel has the technology to control hijacked Planes. Before 9/11"
"Israel, ready to commit suicide. Let's hope they do."
"Israeli Border Invasion of your private data"
"Israel did 9 11 - All the Proof in the World"
"What Did The Jews Do To The Germans?"
"David Icke - ADL, Zionism and The House of Rothschilds need to be exposed"


Here's a screengrab of their latest videos:


Nice going vetting your info, RimJob!

So this is the low they have to sink to to defend Trump's remarks and smear McCain.

And next time you wonder why Freepers are so damned stupid, consider where their founder gets his news.

It's Israel they love, not the Jews. They play "nice" most of the time, but they are more transparent than they think.

It's early yet. They can sink much lower.

Was JR able to have that growth on his left shoulder removed?
