An Air Force staff sergeant from Omaha is rapidly becoming a cause célèbre in the so-called birther movement because he's gone AWOL and repeatedly claimed that President Barack Obama isn't an American.

Staff Sgt. Daryn Moran, stationed at a U.S. Air Force base in Germany, stopped reporting for work Thursday. Since then, he's appeared on fringe websites and radio programs affiliated with the birthers, saying Obama "must be removed" and calling for a citizen's arrest of the commander-in-chief.

"I regard Barack Obama as an enemy," Moran said on an Internet radio program. "And that's why I didn't go to work."

Moran was born and raised near Offutt Air Force Base, where his father, retired Master Sgt. Howard Moran, was stationed for much of his military career.

President Barack Obama isn't an American, according to AWOL Air Force Staff Sgt. Daryn Moran, who has become a hero to the birther movement for refusing to serve under Obama.

1. Sgt. Moran

:evilgrin:

[BR_Parkway]

19. At least he's appropriately named....

[bluestateguy]

2. We are a nation at war

anyone AWOL while America is at war is a deserter.

[rfranklin]

4. Deserters get executed, don't they?

Make an example of him to maintain discipline.

[atreides1]

22. Yes they can be

But, that's at the extreme end of the list of punishments for desertion.

[LeftofObama]

3. "Staff Sgt. Daryn Moran"

The name says it all!

[SpiralHawk]

5. You can't make this shit up

[SpiralHawk]

6. Yet another AWOL quitter. It is a tradition with RepubliBaggers obviously

to dodge all your responsibilities to America and then whine when you are asked to help the country.

[struggle4progress]

7. Become stupider, faster -- with modern technology! Are you worried the boobtube and talkradio

aren't rotting your brain quickly enough? Do you need more exposure to the crazy extremist ideas? Get on the internet!

[cppuddy]

8. Now that this is in

the paper the military will move and arrest him for being AWOL. His commanding officer was probably trying to treat this quietly as an internal office matter to start with. However, now that it is out in the open; higher ups will order a move to maintain discipline

[jwirr]

9. Any excuse to get out of doing what you signed up for. What was

that corporal in Mash who kept trying to get out by claiming mental illness?

[keroro gunsou]

12. maxwell q klinger

try as he might to get out on the section 8 mental health discharge, klinger always did his job... usually in pumps... :lol:

[SnakeEyes]

15. Klinger was subject to a draft.

[cstanleytech]

10. So, whats the maximum potential charges and or time he might be looking at?

Can he be charged with treason?

[Scuba]

11. Well, since tax dollars are sponsoring Rush Limbaugh on Armed Forces Radio, what did you expect?

[SnakeEyes]

17. AFN doesn't pay for Rush

He is provided for free. Same as broadcasts to the military from TV, like we see during the Super Bowl.

[Scuba]

18. I'll look for my source. I read it here on DU. n/t

[Brother Buzz]

13. Paging Orly Taitz, Please Pick Up the White Courtesy Telephone

Your ship has come in.

[southernyankeebelle]

14. Oh goody, This guy will be arrested and kicked out of the service.

[benld74]

16. Nah. Leavenworth is the place for this idiot

[leftynyc]

20. Arrest him

Court martial him and lock his ass up until he forgets what sunshine looks like.

[auburngrad82]

21. If only his name was Hugh Moran. nt

[atreides1]

23. Not only a deserter

He's a coward as well...at least LTC Lakin had the courage to remain at his post at the Pentagon.

[Tempest]

24. He's a liar, he's not AWOL

There’s just one hitch: Moran, an ophthalmology technician assigned to the 86th Airlift Wing at Ramstein Air Base, is actually on an approved leave status, according to a statement released by U.S. Air Forces in Europe.

[Faygo Kid]

25. Perry and Bachmann are competing for his public support, no doubt.

Just a matter of time until one of them goes full "birther" to win the GOP primaries.

[AtomicKitten]

26. Another log throwing himself on the birther pyre.

burn baby burn

[Omaha Steve]

27. His dad talked this morning on KFAB radio AM in Omaha
