Republicans are all over the place on this one. Ha!

gay....whudathunkit? They're just pulling this crap out of their arses.

So, he a warrior for Islam and yet, tried to escape? He bonded with his captors and yet they treated him like an animal?

from an article alleging the Sgt and his family are Evangelical Christians. I'll look to see if I can locate it.

On edit:

I was wrong, I think. From the OP I mentioned above:

according to Hastings Rolling Stone article.
Which has now become THE definitive source. Everytime I read it, I see something I missed.

the results are a little confusing. Try it!

Their opposite on the same scale are the Arminian believers who are also considered evangelicals for the most part but not necessarily fundamentalists... or they could be. I could explain the difference but I don't think anyone would care in this instance.

those are scary folks. Big time promoters of the Christian version of Sharia Law.

of hate and self righteousness along with homemade recipes for righteous indignation.

Interesting but, confusing and more involved than I want to devote time to learning about. Does that make me a bad person?

To have sex with young boys.

It's a well-known fact. And was arrested for possessing Viagra that wasn't his coming in from a well-known pedophile sex haven in the Dominican Republic.

Despite it being on FAUX I went over there and read this. The source is a person who lied congress. His some of info, especially the becoming one of them part is third hand.

Oh, yep, his lying was also about the Iran/Contra scandal. Bush 1 pardoned him.

O.N. is right at home with that RW propaganda machine.

Iran-Contra, Chalabi's Iraqi National Congress, and there are unproven allegations linking him to the Niger forgeries and even Benghazi. Check out this thread -- both bigtree's OP and what I added further down.

I think we could all use to know a lot more about exactly what Clarridge has been up to -- and who are the "private donors" behind his Eclipse Group. I'm starting to think that what's really driving this latest fake scandal is not so much GOP hysteria as an attempt by the military-industrial complex to sabotage any chance of us actually getting out of Afghanistan.

How many qualifiers do they need?

with someone in touch with the Taliban?

Fox claims to have ties to the Taliban, deep enough that they could keep close track of a US POW for years, without giving their Taliban ties away to the US military or offering them an opportunity to try and rescue this US soldier they were keeping an eye on...

They got it from:

" These real-time dispatches were generated by the Eclipse Group, a shadowy private firm of former intelligence officers and operatives that has subcontracted with the Defense Department and prominent corporations to deliver granular intelligence on terrorist activities and other security-related topics, often from challenging environments in far-flung corners of the globe."


See...far flung corners of the globe no less!

where the sun don't shine.

Is where they get their information.

(P.S., your gif drives me nuts!)

Yoda likes it!

But I'll find a less kinetic one soon.

has no one ever heard of Stockholm Syndrome? You go along to get along.

will turn out to be the script for the critically acclaimed SHO series, Homeland.

under who knows what duress. If they can prove he was clear-mindedly engaging in acts against America (that weren't a fake-out), they'd have more of a case. He looked drugged/confused in most photos and videos I've seen.

...and being regurgitated here at DU?

A similar thread to this was locked earlier...

C'mon.

We can do better than this...

oh maybe under this pile, no, that's the Iraq WMD file, just give me a second, it was right here someplace....

gimme a break fux news.

Why does The Fox News get all the secret information? That's not fair

when Bowe was with the Taliban.

Fox News admits to talking to the "terrorists"! After all, who other than the Taliban is with the Taliban.

They are allied with the Taliban but not the Taliban. Fox is slipping up on their lies.

that there were multiple Talibans -- and beyond that the Haqqani network which even more something that could be defined as terrorists.

like John McCain he probably did things (not real smart) that kept him alive. duh. nothing to see here just anti american crap from an Australian company

nt

Follow the money. These people are propagandists for the Cheney cabal. Cheney, and Bush, laid bombs in the system as surely as any terrorist ever did. And they established a communications department in the form of Fox.

but DOUBLE SECRET NINJA MYSTERY DOCUMENTS. That Fox got for $24 in magic beans.

and you'll need X-Ray Specs and a Magic Decoder Ring to examine them.

Fox "news" ? 'nuff said .

It's reporting on the FOX story.

fox news propaganda without corroboration.
There are other places you could have posted this let's not screw up LBN please.

.

No. The TPM article fully complies with the LBN posting requirments:

Post the latest news from reputable mainstream news websites and blogs. Important news of national interest only. No analysis or opinion pieces. No duplicates. News stories must have been published within the last 12 hours. Use the published title of the story as the title of the discussion thread.

So loud that my four year old daughter just asked me "what's so funny?"
I showed her the roll of toilet paper and she laughed because she's at the age where anything related to the potty is funny.
So two jokes in one, really.

Fox spewing propaganda is not news. It's fine to discuss the silliness of the latest Fox bullshit story. Talking Points Memo is presenting it for its ridiculousness, not as a legit news story. You should not legitimize it by posting it in LBN. Discussion of it should be in GD or Politics.

The TPM article fully meets the posting requirements of LBN. TPM is a reliable liberal blog reporting the latest craziness of the Republican propaganda voice.

Official White House repudiation of the FOX story heightens the importance of the story.

The Fox headline is propaganda, and TPM mentioning does not make it news.

Seriously, Fox does not need any more help spreading its vile propaganda.

I saw the footage of Bill O'Reilly ranting about Mr. Bergdahl's beard. Chris Hayes had a nice riff on that one (It's the same beard we've seen on hundreds of men, including celebs).

even longer, father of Army Sgt. Matt Maupin captured in Iraq in 2004, later killed.
Perhaps it's how fathers grieve.

After she was kidnapped by the Symbionese Liberation Army.and held by them long enough she took part in a bank robbery they did. If true it's not the first time something like this has happened - it's called the Stockholm syndrome.

the entire country learned about Stockholm Syndrome from Patty Hearst and her experiences with the SLA (Symbionese Liberation Army)

because we always believe everything fox news tells us and we believe all the polls that come out...........

believe their oracle of information has access to secret documents.

At least one of the sources has been outed within the journalism community, and that would be the one that talked to the NYT and lied out his ass.

are going to be all over this one. Guaranteed.

They will demonize that poor man. And all just to demonize Obama.

It's hard to stomach.

The standard misinformation campaign.

"a Pentagon subcontractor staffed by former intelligence officials hired to prepare reports on terrorist activities. The head of the firm told the network he provided intelligence briefs to the director of intelligence at the U.S. Central Command. " he's probably a deep plant left over from Cheney.

From the Fox News article, paragraph 4 and 5:

"...These real-time dispatches were generated by the Eclipse Group, a shadowy private firm of former intelligence officers and operatives that has subcontracted with the Defense Department and prominent corporations to deliver granular intelligence on terrorist activities and other security-related topics, often from challenging environments in far-flung corners of the globe.

The group is run by Duane R. ("Dewey&quot Clarridge, a former senior operations officer for the Central Intelligence Agency in the 1980s best known for having been indicted for lying to Congress about his role in the tangled set of events that became known as the Iran-Contra scandal. He was pardoned by the first President Bush in December 1992 while on trial."

ethical journalists in the business.

Citing "secret documents prepared on the basis of a purported eyewitness account," Fox's James Rosen wrote that Bergdahl had a roller-coaster experience after he was captured in 2009.

"Secret" documents my ass.

That was breaking news from Ollie North. Lol Trash news at its best!
