Palin Bashes Bergdahl For His 'Horrid Anti-American Beliefs'

TOM KLUDT – JUNE 2, 2014, 1:36 PM EDT

Don't expect Sarah Palin to attend any homecoming celebrations for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl.

The former GOP vice presidential nominee and half-term Alaska governor wrote on her Facebook page Monday that President Obama never should have praised the soldier who was released this weekend after five years of captivity in Afghanistan.

"No, Mr. President, a soldier expressing horrid anti-American beliefs – even boldly putting them in writing and unabashedly firing off his messages (http://nypost.com/2014/05/31/the-bizarre-tale-of-americas-last-known-pow/) while in uniform, just three days before he left his unit on foot – is not 'honorable service.' Unless that is your standard," Palin wrote.

She was referring to an email sent by Bergdahl to his parents, which were published in a 2012 Rolling Stone article by the late journalist Michael Hastings. In the message, sent days before he went missing, Bergdahl wrote that he was "ashamed to be an american (sic)" and that "the title of US soldier is just the lie of fools."

Appears a little obvious that she doesn't know about her former running mate's statements and signed documents about America's involvement in Vietnam.

Wouldn't it be great if she received that particular story, about Senator McCain...

I even honor her son's service, even though young Palin only signed up (reportedly) to avoid jail time for cutting the brake cables of a school bus.

Half-term half-wit demonstrates her total lack of comprehension.

Q: When is half-term Sarah wrong?

A: Whenever her mouth is open.

Not one of the people claiming Bergdahl walked off his post actually, you know, saw him do what they say he did.

So there is no way of knowing what happened until after the Army completes a full investigation.

I hate feeling that way, but that's how it makes me feel. Just reading that makes me want to beat that guy's face in until my knuckles are bleeding.

but the Asshole detection feature on those services is quite valuable! Mr. Kincannon has been nice enough to use it to expose himself.

If he would have done that then She would be praising the return of a fine American who was dissatisfied with his leadership.

i think he just had an interest in exploring the country and maybe thinking he can make friends with some of the afghans.

but this is why he would have left without being armed.

About his boss, soldiers, the Air Force....hell, my brother complained about the Air Force. Either her son never talked to her about his time over there, or she is just a lying sack of crap.

I'm so angry right now.
