Donna Brazile DESTROYS Palin For Blaming Her Woman-Beating Sons Arrest On Obama (VIDEO) http://www.addictinginfo.org/2016/01/21/donna-brazile-destroys-palin-for-blaming-her-woman-beating-sons-arrest-on-obama-video/
Track Palin served with the Alaska-based 25th Infantry Divisions 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team for a single year in 2008, while George W. Bush was still President.
Palins nonsensical claim didnt sit well with veterans or with CNN political commentator Donna Brazile, who put Palin on blast Wednesday.
You have known me for a long time, so Im just gonna say it: shes a liar, Brazile told Anderson Cooper. Thats a damn lie. She pointed out that House Republicans slashed $1.4 billion (with a b) from President Obamas requested budget for veterans services, which included a $690 million reduction for medical care the sort of thing that would help veterans with PTSD:
I care for all veterans I am the daughter of a veteran. And to go out there and to insinuate that the president of the United States is trying to hurt veterans when in fact he is trying to put more resources so that we can give our young and old veterans the care we need, thats just a damn lie. You can say Donna Brazile said it. I approve this message.
Of course [Track Palin] should be held responsible for his own personal behavior, Trump supporter Jeffrey Lord contended when asked if Palin was right to blame Obama. But we have been told time and time and time again that there is a serious problem within the VA treating veterans. And I think thats the point shes trying to make. He did not explain how in the world blaming Obama brought attention to any issues with the VA.
Drink the water, Jeff, Brazile shot back. Drink the water.
Watch Brazile smack Caribou Barbie down below:.................

(22,758 posts)Palin has made enough money from her scurrilous speeches to give her son all the help he needs regardless of what the VA is doing
personal responsibility only seems to apply when it's the "other"

Because he got in trouble with the law (claims made tjat he cut brake lines on school buses). He was a misfit and only served one year. He was the primary one involved in the party gone wild where he got beat up and Todd got a bloody nose. And now this. The kid has had anger management problems dating all of the way back to high school, perhaps before. He is a danger to society and one of these days he will really, really screw up. He is another George Zimmerman.

DallasNE
(7,404 posts)He was actually an Army reservist rather than regular Army and as such when his unit was called up he served one year on active duty, which was in Iraq in an "air cover" capacity for a Stryker unit. He had a 3 year military commitment and 2 of those years were spent in reserve status (attending drills and summer camp, I presume).

tclambert
(11,087 posts)Parents' influence is really very small compared to a distant politician who may or may not respect that son's military service. I mean, did Obama personally call Track to thank him for his service? I think not. Given that level of neglect, how could he learn right from wrong and know he shouldn't beat his girlfriend? Who could possibly fill that void and help mold a young man's values and maybe teach him to respect and value women? What in Track Palin's life could have taught him to respect women? If not Obama, then obviously nothing.

(12,655 posts)he says that a lot.
brazile has been awesome. she has been very supportive of all three candidates and speaks highly of all of them. even when the host tries to goad her into supporting hillary over the others (she is a supporter i am guessing) and try and get her to smack bernie, she won't. she just says good on all of them.
the woman is a class act.

And when I am having one of my episodes, I would never do anything to harm anyone else.

I think that I find it particularly despicable that she is blaming Obama for something that, in fact, does not actually affect her son.

We need to shout out loud and long that it is the Republicans, even though they pretend to be the party that loves and supports veterans, who are responsible for slashing funding for veterans' services.
