Denver talk-radio host Peter Boyles interviewed Lietenant Colonel Terrence Lakin’s spokesperson Margaret Hemenway Tuesday, the second day in a row as the “birther” showdown unfolds in Washington. Boyles has admitted he is fascinated by the story of Greeley native Lakin, a decorated 18-year Army medic who refuses to deploy for the second time to Afghanistan because he doesn’t fully believe Pres. Obama is a natural born citizen of the United States. Lakin is the latest and highest ranking of a handful of soldiers who have subscribed to the mostly right-wing theory that Obama has hidden or falsified the usual documents that would prove his citizenship and that he has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars “lawyering up” to protect their secrecy. Boyles, at the very least a semi-believer in the conspiracy himself, clearly admires the man the media is now calling “Colonel Birther.”
“Lakin is risking everything… this guy, he’s hardly a punk, he’s done his [tours of duty] in the past and now he’s willing to call [the president] out on it. He throws it all away. He loses all his benefits and retirement pay and goes to prison for hard labor. It’s not a punk thing by any stretch.”
According to reports, the Army is considering charging Lakin with a host of crimes, including “missing movement,” for not appearing in Fort Campbell Monday as ordered to deploy overseas, and conduct unbecoming an officer. It is highly likely, given the precedent established in related trials, that Lakin will be stripped of his rank and hauled off to the military’s Leavenworth high security prison in Kansas, where he could be sentenced to hard labor for years.
Some see Lakin not as hero or martyr but as a tragic victim of the poisoned partisan

“Who the hell are we to question Bill O?”
Better than the socialist scumbag that he is!!!
BOR is a big disappointment.
I gave up on him a long time ago.
I would have loved to see Lt. Col. Lakin’s commanding officer back him up by following suit. THAT would have made a statement!
Oh cut it out. There are other medical personnel available, and one will take his place. Good grief.
He’s fighting a good fight, and he’d doing it on Constitutional grounds.
Bill is notoriously miisinformed and uninformed about a host of issues. Clearly, his research team lacks credibility.
I know Beck dismisses those who pursue the birth certificate...
..but has Beck made comment on Lt Col Lakin????....does anyone know.
Lol, he is a true ignoramus.
I pretty much quit watcing him after he got Obama’s poop all over his nose.
I do occassionally turn the show on to see Megyn Kelly make a fool out of him.
What doesERO’S Handles know about that Punk, William O’Reilly?The Overhyperventilated GASBAG who spends most of his time with his Nose stuck in ZERO’S Disgusting BUTT!
The "O'Reilly a liar" part evidently refers to O'Reilly claiming to have seen the evidence proving Zero's alleged birth in Hawaii. When pressed, BOR admitted that he hadn't seen it, but his staff had. The story deteriorated from there.
Glenn Beck, OTOH, calls birthers "morons". Of course, Beck thinks that Mitt Romney is "the guy who's gonna save America".
Nope, I don’t approve of someone, no matter the rank, shirking his duty to the troops. I think it comes before his principles. Passing his medical responsibilities off to another is not right in my book, it still takes one doctor with good experience out of the pivture. He should have started this as soon as he found out about or had questions about Obama or resigned his commision. Why wait until this March? He could have refused orders to the Pentagon couldn’t he?
Thanks for finding this, Pissant. Heard the show. Boyles is the best locally, here in Denver.
Boyles current page: mayor of Denver, who is running for Senate, called Van Jones, the marsixt, a “rock star”. caught on tape.

Just perhaps,but logically, that is exactly what happened. The Lt.Col. kept seeing all the evidence grow,public info if you prefer, until he finally made a decision for himself that the truth was not being told and he was at a personal point of time of ignoring or serving his conscience and his oath to the Constitution. I see nothing that he has been or even now is a dishonorable soldier. That there are not plenty of other MD’s to service our troops is a facetious argument.
Oreilly is an ruthless enemy to the conservative movement. Did you ever hear oreilly’s hateful tirade against conservatives on talk radio?
Go to youtube.com and enter “mark levin rips o’reilly” into the search bar to hear oreilly refer to us all as “a bunch of right wing kool aid drinking idiots and liars.”
Levin’s response to oreilly is on the same video clip and it is awesome.
I don’t think so, I think it’s wrong to make others do those things you were trained, commisioned and paid to do.
LTC Lakin’s CO is a COL who earned the CMH. Too bad that Lakin’s CO is more of a careerist and obamanista than hero these days.
Where is the patriotism to stand up for what is right?
Guess that went out the window the instant Lakin’s CO put his colonel rank on. Lakin’s CO would rather cover his ass than listen to Lakin.
Not one of these fools can produce any evidence of what hospital Barack was born in!!! Hussein's own press secretary lied before a national audience when questioned as to why Barack will not release his long form birth certificate. Robert Gibbels was told by a reporter in a White House presser that 400,000 plus people signed a petition for the release of the birth record... Gibbels stated the "birth certificate" was released (a flat out lie) and laughed at the reporter and walked off. Not one other reporter in the room had the stones to call Gibbels a liar. The media is a partner in the lie!
Where did you see that he was awarded the Medal of Honor?
Never mind, I found it.
