Via Zach Seward‘s Twitter feed, James Von Brunn apparently edited Wikipedia to identify the wife of WWII-era Secretary of State Cordell Hull, Rose Frances Witz, as an “Orthodox Jew.”

TPM finds that Von Brunn was one of the crazies who believed President Obama is not a citizen.

And apparently author Tom Clancy had a correspondence with Von Brunn, whom Clancy called, “an ass. I tried to reason with him and failed.”
