Go Home

It's no secret that a large chunk of what remains of the Republican Party base is made up of under-informed, far-right extremists and the like. Take for instance, the above now-infamous video of a woman who went berserk over the Birther conspiracy at a town hall meeting last week in Delaware. We're now learning more about her, and as it turns out she's well known in certain circles in her hometown and is so far out of her skull that even a conservative leaning radio station has banned her from calling:

When a woman in a red shirt stood up in a Georgetown senior center on June 30 and began yelling at U.S. Rep. Mike Castle about President Barack Obama's birth certificate, her rant was caught on video and has since become a TV and Internet sensation.

The star of the show -- known as "Crazy Eileen" to callers of a Sussex County talk radio station -- has gone into seclusion, declining interviews and avoiding publicity, even as previous statements by her have emerged referring to Obama as "the antichrist" and speaking of aliens and angels.

...According to another WGMD host, Jared Morris, she has been banned from calling the station -- known for its conservative leanings and hosts -- on several occasions. Read on...

"Crazy Eileen" didn't wear one, and look what happened to her! Government mind-control rays done fried her noodle. I ain't stupid....

a Birther? He just passed by me in a restaurant/bar I frequent a lot here in NYC. I was tempted to trip him as he walked by.

Frankly, I hope these Birther's keep it up through 2010 & 2012. They're pure poison for the Republican Party.

odanny's picture

Let the Birther movement flourish!! It only continues to reveal the GOP fringe and reminds everyone how unhinged they are. Whether or not Dick Morris is a birther I dont know, but I do know anyone who works for FOX is tripworthy

I would have said something, anything, to this idiot. Perhaps I would have asked him about hookers; perhaps I would have asked him about his huge tax evasion problems in Connecticut a few years ago (one of the top tax cheats); perhaps I would have asked him about his recent statement on O'Reilly's show that Obama's health care plan is going to "kill you".

Perhaps I would have just called him a punk.

I wonder what restaurant/bar it was? I go to NYC about once a year to visit a brother who lives there. I'd love to see Morris.

Ah, Sussex County. I grew up just south of there (Berlin, MD) and can vouch for the right-wingedness of the place. (Worcester County, MD, is just as bad.)

When I first saw the video (without reading the location) I thought, "That's GOT to be southern Delaware!"

As if anyone needed any confirmation that this woman was.

Just ask Bachmann, Malkin, Beck, O'Reilly, Hannity, Savage, Keyes, Rush....

What a mean-spirited, bitter little loser. In every way possible.

These birthers are pure gold for the Democratic Party. Heading into 2010 and 2012, we should be encouraging these folks as much as humanly possible.

This single sentence irks the hell out of me. It's like the chant "USA, USA, USA."

And, it is code for what you say.

She wants her country back? Who the hell gave it away to her in the first place? OK, beeyatch, strap on a uniform and a weapon and go fight for it. Until you've earned the right to bitch about it, STFU.

Seems to me, in November, the majority of the people of the United States reclaimed it, but because we believe in the Constitution, we'll let you live in it and not arrest you like you were in Nazi Germany which you seem to think you are in.

Birthers are rapidly becoming less a pain-in-the-ass and more of a threat to sanity.

Wow! A Republican that is a Birther and believes the President is the anti-Christ and speaks to aliens.....what a surprise.

I met a Birther the other day and after I told that person that I work for the NSA and Obama was a real citizen he still didn't believe me. But he had no problem believing I worked for the NSA.

The lie he believed but the truth he didn't....wow...and people get angry when Bill Maher says most Americans are STUPID.

I don't ever want to scoop Crooks and Liars....but if you don't know anything about Delaware News service...they get a lot of their stuff from our website. They are usually 2 days behind. As they are a Gannet arm and have cut a ton of staff this year

WE are in the middle of a major story outting a think tank that is starting up that is claiming it is non partisan and it is really loaded with delaware former GOP campaign folks.

Please give us a little credit for finding out who this lady was before the "Snooze Journal" you linked to did

Is she related to that crazed woman who told McCain she didn't trust Obama because he's an Arab?

“"Crazy Eileen"… has gone into seclusion, declining interviews and avoiding publicity… "She doesn't want to be another 'Joe the Plumber' I think," said Dan Gaffney, program director and morning host at WGMD 92.7 FM.”

This should be a learning experience for the wingnuts but, alas, each has to be taught individually.

actually looks fairly smart and reasonable compared to this lady...but that's not sayin much really.

The area of the state that Castle is in is affectionately known as "Slower Lower Delaware".

It is below the canal. A bridge linking that part of the state to the northern part of the state is named after good ol Bill Roth (Roth IRA)

and it is also south of the good ol Mason Dixon line...they are a breed of their own down there.

You want to see local politics at it's finest. You folks don't know jack shi$ until you start watching how we operate.

my girlfriends elderly mother stated she was really afraid of health care reform because, "they're going to deny treatment for the elderly and just let us die . . ." I could only stare slack-jawed at an otherwise intelligent woman who can convince herself that such unadulterated bullshit is true. I almost blurted out, 'that's fucking insane,' but I bit it off . . . Rachel Maddow just covered the meme and its spread tonite. I am so fucking angry with insurance and their Rethug/media whores that I'd like to bitch slap the lot (to put it mildly). I am soooooo sick of blatant, bald-faced lies repeated by the media because 'some say.'

In every case of socialized medicine, people are given rationed care. There is only so much money available, and it is the elderly and terminally ill that often get short shrift.

As the system is NOW, if you're old and poor, you can go to a hospital and receive emergency care. When the bill comes, you can't pay it, so you don't. That equates to 'free' in some sense of the term, because you're able then to bankrupt the charges.

With a government run system, do we know for a fact that such emergency care would still be required of the hospital, regardless of ability to pay? I say the jury is still out on that -- and probably won't be known for certain until after it is in place for a while and they get a good sense of the true cost of a public option.

As for the 'anti-christ' claim, there is a video that explains why they think this. It's quite strange:

said the same thing about Clinton I'm sure it was said about carter and kennedy as well. It's the right's way of scaring up the base, because the people who they're trying to scare probably don't believe in the anti-christ
Late,

General Jack D. Ripper's picture

I think I've heard about Mabus, but never really knew much about this character.

I followed your link to some others and saw one claim that Obama is the anti-christ because Ray Mabus, former Democratic governor of Mississippi, former Secretary of the Navy, and former Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, endorsed Obama. Apparently, when Mabus dies, the anti-christ will show his wrath!

I also saw this:

Barack: 6 letters
Hussein: 7 letters
Obama: 5 letters
6+7+5=18=6+6+6

To which someone else replied with this:

Ronald = 6 letters
Wilson = 6 letters
Reagan = 6 letters
6-6-6!

Satan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just occurred to me that a small group of people, sufficiently motivated and brazen, could completely disrupt any Republican meeting by insisting that everybody recite the Pledge of Allegiance over and over and over.

Just when it ends, the next guys stands up and says, "I don't think some of you people really meant that!" and start saying it again. Do that until their choking in their own bullshit. If they try to stop you, just start yelling how they're going against God God God!

I'm glad she's been exposed....hope we find out more about this wacko.

I wonder, though, if that audio recording came from January of this year, 2009?

The reason I am curious is that crazy psychic Eileen predicts that Hillary will be President. We already knew on January 1, 2009 that Obama would be President.

Is it a mistake that the audio is claimed to be from January 1, 2009, or is this more indication of how bat shit crazy Eileen is?

Hey Logan ---- It's okay to use the phrase "semi-literate". This is the reality of those you describe as "under-informed". (Damn - where does the period go???????)

The Corporate Mainstream media shamelessly manipulates the semi-literate to further their own egregiously greedy and heartless self-serving agenda.

Somebody needs to remind these nutjobs that the man they put up as the alternative in '08 was actually born in Panama. I'm just sayin'...

Have we ever seen Crazy "Eileen" and the former Governor of Alaska in the same place at the same time?

Now we know what Sarah Palin is up to with all her free time.

The whole birther movement is about racism. These people HATE the fact that there is a black man in the White House and questioning Obama's birth is the only way they can attack him. Pretty soon they will become desperate and start using their racist language against Obama and then they will really expose themselves. Have you ever seen a birther that is not an ignorant white person?

Has anyone identified the path from the film we saw of this crazy person into every TV set in the country? not that there's anything wrong with that, but for full disclosure we should know the vector for every story we are subjected to on crazy TV-land. Right? Maybe someone can start a web-site, because it just takes work to tag the path for every MSM story.

There are so many stories and so very few individuals deciding which stories TV will bring to us each day. If fact what we get on TV is the story of a few individuals point of view, or world view. We get what seems important to a few individuals, at the expense of all the other stories. that's not news we can count on.

Isn't that sweet for the GOP? Another crazy person takes the stage as one of their totally off the deep end voices for the Party. It's amazing how they attract the biggest nut jobs in the country.

My dad flew 50 missions in a B-17 over Italy in WWII. His hometown's city hall burned up, taking thousands of original birth certificates with it. I dare Crazy Eileen to try and tell me he's not an American. Why do we encourage these wack jobs by giving them our attention?
