Ironic. Someone is called a chickenhawk for asking questions about a chicken$hit.

So in the interest of finding out the facts about Mr. Payne, I sent Mr. Kitchell and son the following email:

Subject: Any Record Of Charles W Payne?
Mr. Kitchell,
As you may have heard by now, Barack Obama has claimed that his great uncle Charlie Payne was a member of the 89th Div that liberated Buchenwald.
According to records his full name is either Charles W Payne or Charles T Payne (most likely the former), and he was born in 1924 — and he is still alive today.
He most likely was from Kansas at the time of enlistment.
Do you have any record of this gentleman?
Thank you,
Steve Gilbert

PS - If you go to my website, you will see that I was probably the first to note the error in Mr. Obama’s first claims about his “uncle.”

And Mr. Kitchell’s helpful reply:
Please crawl back under the rock you came out from.
Good day
Raymond Kitchell, veteran 89th Inf Div
I have since been sent this followup email:

I don’t claim to represent anyone. You are the one who came to my son and I asking for information.
Please spend ample time chasing down the lies fed to you by chickenhawks Bush & Co. Like 90% of this administration, they don’t have the foggiest idea what we went through or what we saw at Ohrdruf.
