The "free hugs" video on YouTube.com showcasing "a real life controversial story of Juan Mann" is sweeping the nation . . . make that the world. But it's not me.

Hey Michelle, help me out here!

I've already posted a disclaimer on the VDARE.com BLOG setting the record straight that IT'S NOT ME! But to no avail.

So far, I've gotten e-mail inquiries from ABC News and 60 Minutes, and as far away as Brazil asking if I'm the "Juan Mann" in the video. But they've got the wrong man. The identity of the guy in the YouTube video remains a mystery. I can assure you though, that it's not this Juan.

I sure wish the media gave a fraction of this landslide of attention instead to things such as VDARE.com, DeportAliens.com and the rigged behind-the-scenes reality of the federal immigration bureaucracy. But then again, bringing up the unpleasant necessity of summary removal of illegal aliens and criminal alien residents is such a downer.
