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

Amen brother!
This issue will continue to grow. At some point it will reach a critical mass. The socialist media will no longer be able to suppress it at that point.
O’Reilly has never served a single day in the military as far as I can tell. Before he can call a soldier who’s willing to throw away his life rather than obey an illegal order a “punk”, maybe he should stop to think that he’s never seen fit to take the time to obey a single order of any kind.
Hey! O’reilly said that he investigated, and that it’s bogus!
Who the hell are we to question Bill O?
I mean, come on...
Following the orders of someone usurping the office of President is contrary to that oath. These orders are illegal, and there is precedent - My Lai - where it was clearly established that officers have the duty to disobey illegal orders.
If 0bama qualifies under the natural born provision of The Constitution, then he must present proof, or drop all charges.
There’s a punk in this article and it’s not Lt. Col. Laken.
BOR hasn’t investigated sh*t
Boyles, whoever he is, apparently has more balls than most of the so called conservative gum flappers.
O’Reilly should be ashamed of himself!
Another thought:
BOR is a big disappointment. Methinks he was bought off by a large entity, maybe the Saudis. that is the only way I can make sense of his epic shift. He was always a bit of a tool (Anyone who says to outlaw the death penaly in favor of letting convicts battle to the death in Alaska is a tool), but now he is a major toolbox. He has dissapointed me for the last time; I give him no traction.
He’s also risking the live of our troops over there that have need of an experienced doctor. Why didn’t he do this as soon as he knew of Obama or after his tour? I think it’s wrong and unfair to our servicemen.
> “BOR hasn’t investigated sh*t” <
Not to mention that BOR is a bully and a pervert. He had that sexual harrassment case against him settled out of court.
Big $$$ I bet to keep the lady quiet.
I’m done watching that punk BOR.
FUbo.

We’ve got to take a stand, as individuals, it is the only way we can save this Nation.
Where did O'Reilly call him a punk?
