We have no idea whether he’s still around, but proud Arkansan Bob Campbell used to be a bit of a clown-figure on the wingnut conspiracy circuit, the ones that would later descend into Trump-worship and Qanon rubbish. Campbell was the instigator of something he called the American Grand Jury back in the late 2000s, the mission of which was to drive then-President Obama from office and put him on trial for treason. According to Campbell, Obama “is a certified crook that has committed treason and fraud,” therefore “[H]e is a fraud and a traitor.” So it goes.
Apparently Campbell formed the American Grand Jury in March 2009 to examine “evidence” and hand down “presentments” that the group hoped would be used to indict the president (no, he doesn’t even being to understand how any of this works). Campbell’s main charge was of course that Obama wasn’t born in the United States and thus ineligible to serve as president. The group also sought to indict Nancy Pelosi for her role in the scheme to get the Obama elected. Campbell’s concrete plan was to take supporters (for a mere $649 a head) on a roadtrip by bus to deliver their findings to federal judges in 20 states. In a rare moment of self-awareness, Campbell admitted that “[s]erving our Grand Jury Presentments have [sic] always made the courts mad,” but he was nevertheless convinced that “[w]ith what I have in mind it should really burn the bark right off a few of these liberal Judges.”
Campbell is predictably critical of Islam as well: “Islam is a bully belief system. It’s [sic] followers act as spoiled little children/brats that can’t take the truth”, and he was strongly in favor of Quran burning. “ ‘Burn baby burn’ is my motto”, said Campbell.
Diagnosis: We would actually be somewhat surprised if Campbell made it all the way to the 2020s, given his basic incompetence at forming true and useful beliefs about the world, but insofar as he did, we have a fair idea of what he’d be doing right now. Probably mostly harmless, though.

"Islam is a bully belief system. It's [sic] followers act as spoiled little children/brats that can’t take the truth”.
ReplyDeleteInstead of the word Islam just put Christianity or Judaism or Asatru or Hinduism or any other "bully belief system". But obviously, he can't do that coz he's too stupid to think.

I never heard Muslims burn babbling Bible or Talmud. Nevertheless, they say that those books at corrupted by human error but never burned them. Very strange, is it?
Why those religtards don't burn Iliad and Odyssey? For god ducking sake those are pagan books!
(I possess a couple of Qurans /in pure Arabic and translations of three languages/, some half a dozen of Bibles in various languages, and some expensive Talmud examples, although I'm a hardcore antitheist, and it never crosses my mind to burn them! Publicly or in private in some stoves. Those books are the common heritage of all humanity no matter if one agrees or disagrees with them!)
