Once President Obama secured the release of Bowe Bergdahl the furious right-wing efforts to turn the fulfillment of America's sacred duty to her military members into a scandal erupted.
Of course, as Right-Wing hypocrisy knows no bounds, dishonorable conservatives were forced to delete and scrub their sites of pro-Bergdahl solidarity.
Over at Gawker, Adam Weinstein has a collection of tweets from conservatives who condemned President Obama, praised Bergdahl and agitated for his return until it was accomplished then they condemned President Obama, damned Bergdahl and agitated against his return.
Right-Wing powerblogger Jim Hoft, the thrice-awarded dumbest man on the internet, declared in October 2013, Horrible. Obama to leave POW to rot in Afghanistan after Withdrawal.
Bridgett Johnson of Pajamas Media, a "leading" Right-Wing disseminator of lies, back in Jan 2014 championed Bring POW Bergdahl Back by any means.
But that was Then, this is Now.
But, it's not limited to everyday conservatives or "popular" right-wing bloggers.
Former Congressman and Lt. Col Allen West wrote piece after piece about how President Obama abandoned Bowe Bergdahl on the battlefield.
Republican Congressmen Lee Terry and Thad Cochran praised the return of Bergdahl until they learned it was anathema.
Unfortunately, as conservatives are shameless, no matter how many times you show their blatant hypocrisy, no matter how many of their previous statements undermine their current positions, you will never be able to mollify or blunt their efforts to destroy America. Jon Stewart on The Daily Show has been highlighting and ridiculing conservatives for over a decade and all it's down is strengthen their resolve to be disgusting anti-American scumbags.
I expect no less from Conservatives. They are the unthinking dishonorable drones of the Republican Party and by extension the Plutocracy. Conservatives piss on the military service of anyone who doesn't help them advance the Agenda of the Rich.
So, when Bergdahl was a POW his continued imprisonment was a way for Conservatives to attack President Obama. Now his release merely affords them another opportunity to attack President Obama.
Conservatives and Republicans don't see the Troops as people but as tokens for them to use to advance the Right-Wing Agenda to destroy the Democratic Republic and turn the Nation into a NeoFeudalist Wage Slave State owned and ruled by the 1%.
As for poor Bowe Bergdahl, he's going to face a Court Martial and Faux News is going to ensure it is a spectacle because the Right-Wing will see it as a way to put President Obama on trial by proxy.
They're even worse than I thought they were (and I've always thought they were pretty bad)... but you are absolutely right, Gene. The hypocrisy is astounding.
ReplyDeleteEven their "complaints" about Bergdahl are disgusting.
ReplyDeleteHe didn't like eat barbecue and drink with the other guys! He showed compassion towards the Afghan People! He studied their culture and language!
As to the claims of desertion, well I think General Martin Dempsey's official statement is appropriate,
“In response to those of you interested in my personal judgments about the recovery of SGT Bowe Bergdahl, the questions about this particular soldier’s conduct are separate from our effort to recover ANY U.S. service member in enemy captivity. This was likely the last, best opportunity to free him. As for the circumstances of his capture, when he is able to provide them, we’ll learn the facts. Like any American, he is innocent until proven guilty. Our Army’s leaders will not look away from misconduct if it occurred. In the meantime, we will continue to care for him and his family.
But, Conservatives are WITHOUT HONOR so they wouldn't understand such things.
Fuck him, his Father and you
DeleteThey are "without honor" and the truth is something they use only if it suits their purpose, otherwise they willingly lie.
ReplyDeleteWhat the Fuck would you know about honor ?
Delete"That's the way it works," Oliver North said. "The reality is, they never talk about it. Ronald Reagan didn't and this guy shouldn't have done it. It's a disaster the way this has all come out."
ReplyDeleteWell, there you go again...
"Today, I received from the National League of POW/MIA Families, a "Never Forget Bracelet" emblazoned with the name of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. He was seized on June 30, 2009 in Afghanistan and is being held by the Haqqani Organization - a Taliban afilliated terrorist group - in northwest Pakistan. Sgt Bergdahl and his loved ones here at home deserve our prayers and encouragement until he is rescued or released. That's what we do. We're Americans." - Oliver North, November 4, 2011, on Facebook.com
It's an oBama twofer. He starts with a big "Fuck You!" to the military by releasing the taliban dream team our military gave life and limb to capture. And then Mr. oBama tops that with another big "Fuck You!" to Hamid Karazi and the people of Afghanistan. In a years time, when the recently released taliban are free to return to Afghanistan, they will be free to once again take over the country and drive it soundly back into the fourteenth century shithole it was prior to us driving them out. And the people of Afghanistan will have oBama to thank as they deliver their opium poppy harvest to market in the finest model donkey powered cart their not modern world will have to offer.
ReplyDeleteHistory will judge this first minority precident harshly.
A big Fuck You to Hamid Karzai the mayor of Kabul is not only warranted but desirable.
ReplyDeleteAnd the Poppy Harvest was booming back in 2003 when the Right-Wing controlled DoD declared Opium to not be a legitimate military target and forbade us from burning the crops.
Did the desertion of PFC. Bergdahl lead to the deaths of six American soldiers?
ReplyDeleteWere the five detainees relaesed from Gitmo a fair trade?
Hey Ass face, can you really be that stupid and idiotic ? Or is this just an act ?
ReplyDeleteA prick like you talking about Honor ?
ReplyDeleteLOL
Dear thumb dick, 'AmericN Joe' learn to type your nome de plume before you come back. Now go back to finger-banging your sister.
ReplyDeleteRight after I fuck your mother. , and your father blows me.
DeleteJ.O.B.
ReplyDeleteI've read comments from various rabid right-wing goons ascribing the claims of 5, 6, 7, and 14 dead because of Bergdahl.
Putting aside that I did read in the June 5 Tribune quoting Joshua Cornelison, a Medic in Bergdahl's platoon.
"Directly or indirectly, people died because of what Bergdahl did. He's responsible for some soldiers' deaths. They died looking for him."
And I have no problem with his former platoon, Company Commander, Battalion Commander or others with direct knowledge coming forward and testifying.
As for the 5 released, conservatives have taken to referencing UN reports on massacres these leaders did during the post Soviet Civil War 1989-1992 and the Taliban persecution of Shites and other "apostates".
BTW, these leaders all made their bones during the Soviet Invasion when they were CIA-trained, funded and supplied with Stingers and other arms from the US. That's why during the 2001 US invasion we knew who they were and exactly where they could be found.
I guess that Nisj was responsible then ?
Deleteoh boohoo the only service men Obama can relate to is an unpatriotic deserter
ReplyDeleteGene, you've certainly got the whole petri dish of right-wing schlubs today. Ignorance and hypocrisy, with a dash of racism and false bravado, all rolled into one. My sympathies.
ReplyDeleteAsshole get what they deserve.
DeleteW. Hackwhacker,
ReplyDeleteI know, but the funny thing is how all the Conservative Keyboard Commandoes are busting out the Unlike us, Obummer can't understand the Military Hurr-Durr, when we've just experienced a decade and a half of Young Republicans and Vietnam Era Conservatives flapping around as the biggest group of cowards and chicken hawks in the history of Mankind.
The GWoT was World War IV for them but despite it being the battle of Civilization they sought the comforts of basements, dorms and campaign offices instead of Barracks and the battlefield.
Because as their King Chickenhawk proclaimed, 'Don't enlist! Stay here, steal money and let liberals can fight'em over there.'
For example, these Leading Young Conservatives consciously and conspicuously choose to stay at home and let others risk life and limb;
Ben Shapiro
James O'Keefe
Ben Ferguson
Jason Mattera
Jonah Goldberg
And 1000's of other Right-Wingers who infest the RW Fart Bubble where Drudge, Faux, Deadbart and RNC lies are emitted, absorbed and re-farted out to each other in an incestuous recirculation did likewise.
hmmm Racism, enlighten me WH is is that because Obama is a fuktard and we just call him on it?
ReplyDeleteHiding behind Anonymous to leave insults shows you are, without a doubt, a Dishonorable Conservative Coward who eschewed the battlefield because you are a chicken shit chicken hawk.
ReplyDeleteSorry but I'm not a conservative try Libertarian !
ReplyDeleteMakes no difference , you are still a POS, just like your Mother
Ah ha ha ha ha! Libertarians are just another breed of Reactionary Guard Dogs for White Male Power and Privilege.
ReplyDeleteNow I know why you're so angry! The thin dick and no balls you were born with used not to matter but now women turn you down and you can't force'em because you're such a wimp.
Sorry indeed!

ReplyDeleteAnonymous @ 1658 hours, GOPthe dailydose.com
What a joke! It's too bad your mother never learned how to suck dick because she could have spit you out in the toilet instead of cursing the world with your filthy presence but how was she supposed to know you'd turn out to be such a disappointment!!!
Ha ha ha ha, punk!
Well you're Mother sucks cocks for coffee money and look at the prick she gave birth to.
DeleteShows that any Cunt can give birth to dickheads as long as they don't use comdoms .
It looks like there's something you and oBama have in common Gene. You can dish it out but you certainly can't take it. I'm LOL'ing at you little man.
ReplyDeleteYou choose to glorify and defend one of the stupidest things oBama has ever done. You deserve everything you get for being the stupid fuck that you are.
I'm very proud to be compared to one of the greatest Men to hold the Office of President. This is another brave decision by President Obama. Besides getting Bergdahl home we now can lay out that the Bush/Cheney/ Republican Wars were NEVER WORTH IT.
ReplyDeleteBut, go pound sand little man, you just can't take it when someone, especially a liberal hits back.
And in the Military and on the streets I'm paid to hit back at the bullies and wife-beaters such as yourself ChickenHammer.
Additionally, perhaps you'll recall from your military time (as if that ever really happened) what occurs when hostilities end? The Prisoners in Gitmo would have to be released.
But, hell I can't expect a wife-beating phony soldier such as you to understand that kind of thing.
LYLB! This is what happens when you leave unattended children at the helm. LYL!
ReplyDeleteI think it is perhaps a bit much to refer to Obama as one of greatest Men to hold the Office of President... he has done a number of things that I disagree with. Although, compared to the last guy, perhaps he is.
ReplyDeleteOther than that, I am in complete agreement with everything you've said here Gene. I'd say that of all of the Liberal/Progressive blogs I visit, Gene's is the one I agree with MOST consistently and his views most mirror my own. Plus he's a better writer than me and I really enjoy reading his posts.
BTW, the "American Joe" who commented anonymously above... I'd guess that this Google+ profile was likely set up by him.
ReplyDeleteDervish,
Additionally what's lost on the mad right-wingers is the absolute fact that these 5 men were going to be released at the cessation of hostilities.
And they haven't seen Afghanistan in a dozen years, having captured in 2001 or 2002 so the claim they were the "hardest, meanest" is just typical right-wing dishonest hyperbole.
We only held Karl Dönitz for 11 years and he was the Last Head of State of Nazi Germany and the Grand Admiral during WW2 overseeing unrestricted u-boat warfare.
But, the incident just proves once again Conservatives are WITHOUT HONOR.
Bush cut Veterans funding during the Iraq war. Cheney got his old company (Halliburton) military contracts, then that company supplied bad food and water that made soldiers sick, showers that electrocuted soldiers, and other disgusting, dangerous supplies. Like demagogues from McCarthyism, they wrap themselves in the flag and push false patriotism for their own selfish goals, while they lie and cause the unnecessary deaths of American soldiers. Killers is what they are.
ReplyDeleteClinton and Obama gave Halliburton no bid contracts.
ReplyDeleteGene, your thoughts here are as Stipid as Obam's trading one prick for 5 terrorists.
ReplyDeleteAss holes come on all shapes and forms, this bolg author is proof of that.
ReplyDeleteGene,
ReplyDeleteGiven the misspellings in the last two comments, I would say you have moved from 12 year old trolls to 8 year old trolls.
Jerry Critter,
ReplyDeleteI proudly display their churlish ignorant bullying attempts and violent stupidity as a badge of pride.
But, what's more despicable is the Republican Party and the uncessing War on Americans.
The duped conservative devotion to the Right would be laughable if it wasn't costing Veterans their lives while Right-Wing Blowhards who all talk the talk about lovin' the troops while they walk the walk of fucking over Veterans at every opportunity.
Are you kidding? You are the most despicable POS on the boards, and you have the nerve to say what you just said! Outrageous !
DeleteOkay "A. Reader", what terrorist actions did the "5 terrorists" released from Gitmo participate in?
ReplyDeleteI give you ample time to respond because I know you'' first have to google them since you don't even know their names let alone their crimes?
