Just the kind of thing that needs to be exposed.

Whether it was bush and Cheney sending ill equipped people to Iraq after lying us into that war, or trashing max cleland and Tammy duckworth says every about them

I'd like to use it.

i got to block a bunch of ignorant right wingers and express my support at the same time.

Wish it would be so, but they (the GOP) control the secret "voting" boxes in many states.

If the GOPigs say it's a scandal, then the media will hype it as a scandal, and a certain percentage of Americans will start to think of it as a scandal.

If the media decides there is nothing hypocritical or disgusting to report on in the GOP's behavior (and admit it, when DOES the media find anything hypocritical or disgusting in their behavior?) then they will not say anything, and how will the average American respond.

It's brainwashing, pure and simple, and for the vast majority of citizens who can not or will not take the time to inform themselves, what the media says is how they are supposed to feel about it.

Utter bullshit.

eom

All three broadcast network news channels are blurring the whole thing. They're reporting the recent revelations, while still allowing his former company members to spout the "He deserted us. He's a traitor who didn't deserve to be rescued" stuff. It's nauseating to watch.

But when the generals say something they don't like, Republicans don't hesitate for a second to let ideology trump the expert opinion of the military.

Next time you have a chance, call some CON in DC - yours (you have my sympathy!) or someone else's. And remind HIM OR HER about that. Their behavior suggests they've forgotten. Handy TOLL FREE Capitol Hill switchboard numbers conveniently located in my sig line below.

Lots of examples with him. All you have to do is google him to find them

They keep telling their Base it's either vote Republican or you will lose your freedom.

Bergdahl's father will remain a REGISTERED REPUBLICAN??? His party's treatment of Sgt Bergdahl AND his family was beyond disgusting. "Support Our Troops - USA USA USA" my ass.

I wouldn't assume that he qualifies to be called a republi-CON. And I hope he's seen the light. I can't imagine he would want to continue supporting that hateful pack of jackals.

With apologies to four-footed jackals everywhere!

but it's a pretty good description of what our values supposedly are.

Of course, Repubs and values don't seem to fit together much any more.

not to mention all the bullshit they're passing off as fact so they can justify their hatefulness.

I signed up very early and quickly understood that they were leeches - steal your information and steal any connections to you. I haven't responded to a "pseudo" like for 4 years and will never log in with my real creds.

I'm appalled that many supposedly reputable organizations ask their web page viewers to "Like Us". How demeaning it must be to ask real people to forfeit their privacy for an additional +1 in some meaningless marketing campaign.

RBInMaine.

All media outlets rush to stick a microphone in the hands of the nearest Republican. First impressions are vital so they are more than willing to jump at the chance.

Then someone decides it is time to fact check things -- as the media should have done in the first place. Then we learn that the preponderance of the early reports are false but this gets scant coverage. But this time the consequences are more dire because Bergdahl's parents have received a number of death threats and security had to be provided to the family for their safety.

In the latest onslaught Sen. Saxby Chambliss is saying that reports that Bergdahl was tortured and put into a cage is dismissed as false. What does Chambliss base this on? The film of the release where they don't see signs of torture. Hardly convincing. And remember that Bush pulled troops out of Afghanistan to fight in Iraq so things had gotten out of hand in Afghanistan and that was where things stood when Bergdahl left his post.

Oh, and here is a link providing more data.

once the lying starts. It becomes a deep hole and the liars just keep on digging. liars depend on all others to be honest. One of the tactics lawyers use in cross examination is to get the witness to agree to a plausible lie. Once the witness agrees to the lie it's game, set, match.
Liars forget rule one: When in a hole, stop digging.

GOP scumbags just inflate as time goes by ever since...

sometimes democrats and republicans worked together to come up with solutions. Today, I view the republican party as a bunch of obstructionists and really angry, hateful, wacky and selfish people collected under one tent, a sea of negativity trying to bring humanity down.

Whenever anyone hears something from the republican party it is consistently about tearing someone down, denying civil rights, trying to deprive someone of something, persecute someone/group ... it's endless.

On Morning Joe this morning Mika said BOTH Democrats (she said "some Democrats) and Republicans were against Sgt. Bergdahls's release. No one challenged her statement. But then, we have the likes of Sen. Diane Feinstein who lends some credence to Mika's claim. Overwhelmingly, it is the Republican hate mongers who are against his release, but the few Democrats are giving these Republicans cover.

I am truly disgusted by the ugly, hateful mob that has claimed self-righteous hate as the truest of all American "values." This mob has been nurtured and emboldened by the "stupid is good" example set by Bush II. Let's do our best to defeat them in November.

constitutional enemy within as foreseen by the founding fathers. The proof is there for all to see in their cumulative body of works which shows its ugly head every day.

So True! we all know the Tea-pulicans Have No Shame. Calling Card wil be NOV 2014.

And in response, you should see the comments--so many evil people calling him an Obama lover, asking him to resign or for him to stage a military coup.

They know nothing of the military, so they attack mililtary leaders.

I sense a pattern...

Time and again I have complained to our local paper that they ignore every instance anything critical of the Republican right wing nincompoops. This is not a over sight by an intentional attempt to mislead the public. I am heartened by the fact that most young people have abandoned the MSM and look to the internet for their information. The faster that these right wing propaganda rags go out of business the better.

Enlisted, completed basic training and deployed with his unit overseas. He SERVED his country, participating in a very difficult war serving under very difficult circumstances. He routinely went out on patrols with his unit and risked his life 24/7. What ever circumstance led to his decision to walk away, Bergdahl ultimately was capture and held as a POW for five years. Bergdahl still has done more in serving his country than the sanctimonious sofa soldiers who run off at the mouth. They are not morally qualified to pass judgment. Only Bergdahl's peers are qualified to do judge him and through proper military investigation.

Just because...
