Obama attack video
October 3, 2008 11:24 AM   Subscribe

Wondering who the filmmaker is behind the 13-minute attack video A Video Portrait of Barack Hussein Obama? It turns out the man behind the video is a 28-year-old Christian television producer from North Carolina named Jason "Molotov" Mitchell AKA Lorne Baxter, Rodney Talmud, or Father Fearless. He is also the president of Illuminati Pictures.

No. No, I wasn't. Still aren't, actually!

I don't remember wondering who made this video I've never heard of, but I bet his website gets a lot of hits today.

I also wasn't wondering back in May, when this was apparently "news".

Couldn't you at least link to Stormfront while you're at it?

Well, we've got that covered.

I just had a really good omelet from Whole Foods. They're buffet is too expensive, but sometimes you just have to go for it.

I wonder as I wander out under the sky,
How hope for the future did come for to die.
Like death and like taxes, the inevitable lie;
I wonder as I wander, what's left to defile?

Damn, my guess was Robert Loggia. Who would have thought it was a right wing filmmaker?

Not sure why you'd need to make a mefi post about this. I would've tagged it under 'wackos' in del.icio.us and moved on.

A round-table show featuring Mitchell and three other Christian panelists, Flamethrower is best known for a segment that never aired. Produced in January, Mitchell's video Making Mohammed Cookies! shows a chef, wearing Islamic headdress, baking a cookie in the shape of the Muslim prophet. He's interrupted at one point by his roommate, whom he shoots with a handgun while yelling, "Jew!"
Hate speech is so funny!
[Faith TV vice president Mark] MacGregor, who was not familiar with the Obama video, describes Mitchell as a talented producer with a "real heart for speaking the truth," and contempt for political correctness.
Ah, a real heart for speaking the truth. God bless him. This explains why as soon as the "Obama doesn't put his hand over his heart during the pledge" crap was debunked, Mitchell went on a campaign to set the record straight. Oh wait, what? He didn't?

Is "contempt for political correctness" right wing code for racist as fuck?

Jason "Molotov" Mitchell said:

"When we are at war with Islamic terrorism, can Americans elect a man with not one, not two, but three Islamic names?" the video poses.

Can we believe a video made by a man whose name means "Healer 'Incendiary Weapon' Big"?

I love their salads and soups. Their sushi, sadly, is just meh.
And their desserts look better than they taste, but I think they sell walnut truffles that are really awesome.

See? I'd just rather threadjack this toa discussion of their foods instead...

Robert Loggia has a posse.

Also not wondering, if we're still looking for data points.

I think this may in fact be the thing that MeFi readers are most comprehensively not wondering about.

Did you know:

*Obama has three names and each and every one of them is Islamic? IT'S TRUE

*Obama keeps white Christian babies as slaves and forces them to hand-make staples for all his paperwork? IT'S TRUE

*Obama possesses the power to eat matter in all forms, as do all natives of his home planet, Bismol? IT'S TRUE

*Obama's wife has not one but TWO black daughteOMG DON"T CLICK HERE IT BUUUURNS, MOTHER, IT BUUUUUURNS

For every overproduced Anti-Obama video on YouTube there is an unedited clip of Sarah Palin that makes her look just as bad. That's fair and balanced.

Besides, I've said this before: if he were really serious about getting elected President, he'd have changed his name to Barry Harrison O'Bomber YEARS ago.

I'm lucky because the Whole foods by my house carries St. Bernardus Abt 12. That has got to be the best beer I have ever tasted. They have the 8 and the 6, but if I'm feeling more expansive than Aventius, I'll splurge for the 12.

That is a damn fine beer. I also recommend Gulden Draak (shown here along with my cock).

I wonder if Robert Loggia has ever drunk Gulden Draak or Abt 12....

The funny thing is that Mitchell self-applies the middle name "Molotov," (who was a socialist). Barack didn't choose his name.

Bernt Pancreas writes "I'm lucky because the Whole foods by my house carries St. Bernardus Abt 12. That has got to be the best beer I have ever tasted."

Hah, I have you beat. My local grocery store carries that nectar of the gods, Pabst Blue Ribbon, in a 12-pack!

I’ve been wanting to say something about this whole kind of thing for some time. And let me be clear on this, I’m not going to mince words here, I’m going to set you people straight on this kind of thing - Hitler? Way out of line.

It needed to be said.

thbt : "Molotov". His name says it all.

Full of toxic, volatile chemicals waiting to explode, employed by anger and hatred, and best dealt with by suffocation?

Yeah, I guess that is a pretty succinct and accurate nickname.

Glad to see your finally on board, I've been putting my neck on the line on this issue since August of last year, and, to be honest, it's been hard taking such a contrarian stance on my own for so long.

No, I didn't wonder who the film maker was. I intuitively knew it was some hate filled scum bag.

Nice post, and nicely garnished by a flurry of initial comments by the usual rat king of Metafilter conservatives who are determined to prevent any discussion of, or even any reference to the kind of campaign tactics contemporary Republicans are more addicted to and can no more survive without than Wall Street can without taxpayer bailouts.

When you smell that singular smell and hear the feeble squeaking, Shanachie, you know you've done something right.

Well... the website has a little © Illuminati Pictures at the bottom. So. I'm -- uh. So. Hitler, eh?
