As more information pours out from the blogging community, LCR has discovered John Patrick Bedell's blog. Patterico , via Memeorandum has a great piece today about Bedell’s 9/11 truther, antiBush views. The media has already released the facts that Bedell was pro legalization of marijuana. An inspection of J Patrick Bedell’s 2006 blog posting shows two other views very different than the mainstream right; free and unrestricted immigration and anti war.

The blogs were found by viewing Bedells blog log (image below)and posts were published under the handle Patrick.



From an October 2006 blog post:

For well over a century, immigration to the United States was virtually unrestricted, and the society and economy of the US flourished. Over time, as individuals have come to take for granted the blessings of life in our free society, appeals to exclude other people from the United States have been more and more successful. From the anti-Catholic quotas of the early 20th century to the present-day restrictions that are often more like campaign literature than legislation, restrictions on immigration have often been driven more by political passions than principle and reason.

From a November 2006 blog post:

The political actors that initiate and promote aggression and conflict often recognize that their statements need not closely reflect reality, given their short-term desire to maintain political control and the inability of subject populations to hold political actors to account for their actions. Given the clear motivations among political actors to initiate, perpetuate, and promote aggression and conflict, those who are concerned with human welfare must seek new means to counter the incentives that political actors have directing their actions toward large-scale destruction.

It is important to note that all these posts were written in 2006 when Bush was president and that Bedell’s motives for the shooting was to obtain information about Bush’s involvement in 9/11.
