Here's the liberal lefty who may surpass Bachmann's kookiness


The ISIS beheading of U.S. aid worker Peter Kassig reminded me of the crazy conspiracy theories recently unleashed by author Naomi Wolf, who has become the Ann Coulter or Michele Bachmann of the far left.
Last month Wolf posted a series of bizarre comments on Facebook that riled many people, especially the parents of hostages beheaded by ISIS in Syria.
Vox.com summarized the insanity this way:

"Author and former Democratic political consultant Naomi Wolf published a series of Facebook posts  ... in which she questioned the veracity of the ISIS videos showing the murders and beheadings of two Americans and two Britons, strongly implying that the videos had been staged by the U.S. government and that the victims and their parents were actors.
"Wolf published a separate Facebook post ... suggesting that the U.S. was sending troops to West Africa not to assist with Ebola treatment but to bring Ebola back to the U.S. to justify a military takeover of American society. She also suggested that the Scottish independence referendum, in which Scots voted to remain in the United Kingdom, had been faked."
The Kassig execution brought to mind Wolf's despicable postings because, at one point, she singled out a photo of Kassig and indicated that he was a hostage who did not exist. In Wolf's world, this was all a plot hatched by the Pentagon.
Here's that post, which was retrieved by Vox:
