Palin, GOP spit on returning-POW Bergdahl before all getting the facts

During Vietnam, supporters of the war attacked peace protesters claiming that they ‘spat’ on America’s returning heroes. Nobody ever came up with a verified case of a soldier actually being spat on, but that didn’t stop the story from becoming a legend amongst the pro-war faction.

So how should we interpret the following statement from the woman John McCain once tried to put a heartbeat away from the presidency?

“No, Mr. President, a soldier expressing horrid anti-American beliefs — even boldly putting them in writing and unabashedly firing off his messages while in uniform, just three days before he left his unit on foot — is not ‘honorable service.’”

Sarah Palin was referring to the case of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who was recently released by his Taliban captors in exchange for five of their men being held at Gitmo. The circumstances surrounding Bergdahl’s disappearance remain unclear. More on that in a moment.

The first line of attack from Republicans was that the US must never negotiate with terrorists (unless of course the terrorists are Iranian, and the US using the proceeds from those negotiations to finance some other terrorists in Nicaragua).

These actions should reverberate down through the ages of what the republican party and voters did to a returning POW. Pay attention veterans. Who really supports you.
