On Wednesday, a group of former intelligence and Special Forces operatives released a 22-minute video accusing President Obama of jeopardizing sensitive information in order to take credit for the killing of Osama bin Laden. OPSEC, as they call themselves, is one of several new groups dedicated to attacking Obama on military issues, specifically on the Osama bin Laden raid. Now the founder of one of these organizations, Special Operations Speaks, has proudly come out as a birther.
Speaking to Foreign Policys Josh Rogin, Larry Bailey, a 27-year veteran Navy SEAL, embraced several conspiracy theories about Obamas roots:
I have to admit it, Im a Birther In his books, Obama said his mentor was a fellow named Frank Marshall Davis. Frank Marshall Davis was a member of Communist Party USA, he wrote for the communist partys Hawaii newsletter, he was a close friend of Obamas mother, and theres a strong case that Frank Marshall Davis rather than Barack Obama, Sr. was Barack Obama, Jr.s father and that Barack Obama, Sr. was just an administrative father of convenience. Barack Obamas a born red-diaper baby. Hes a socialist. His beliefs are the very antithesis of my beliefs. As far as I am concerned he is one of the most unlikeable and unprepared politicians weve ever had.
Bailey was also involved in Vietnam Vets for Truth, a 2004 campaign affiliated with the infamous Swift Boat Veterans for the Truth, and helped organized a Kerry Lied rally on Capitol Hill.
