For those of you still following the antics of IVAW, you probably remember that Adam Fallujah Kokesh, the IVAW’s resident lunatic, famously announced he’d be supporting Bob Barr now that Ron Paul was pulling out of the Republican primary contest. I knew when Kokesh announced he was supporting Ron Paul he was just trying to help divide the Republican Party, and his support for Barr was just an extension of that little ploy.<\/p>\n

Well, a reader sent me a link to a Reason report <\/a>today that Kokesh finally withdrew from Barr’s contest. The background for the report is a Barr press conference following a Ron Paul press conference down the hall;<\/p>\n

Kokesh raised his hand and started talking; Barr campaign chairman Russ Verney asked him to identify his media organization. “I’m an independent blogger,” Kokesh said. Verney and Kokesh talked over each other for about 30 seconds, Verney trying to move on, Kokesh explaining what had made him so angry. “Leadership is not just about knowing when to lead, but knowing when to follow,” Kokesh said. “You failed that test today and I retract my endorsement of you.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What an arrogant little toad. I guess he’s taking his ten IVAW voters and leaving. But at least the charade has ended.<\/p>\n

He can go all in for the “O” now…especially since some guy in Denver who said he was with the Obama campaign took their letter of demands (to end the war in Iraq and pay reparations to the Iraqis) and promised Obama would read it. But McCain didn’t bother to give the IVAW players that satisfaction…another reason to support McCain.<\/p>\n

Kokesh can thank his VFP\/VVAW buddies for the McCain snub. Why would a Vietnam vet want to give a moment of time to anyone associated with that crowd of pussies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
