Yes. Special Ops youtubes should be the least of their video worries.

The article mentions Special Forces Major Lujan, whom I know through a former Delta operator and good friend. Lujan was personally picked to work within the House Foreign Affairs Committee under Representative Howard Berman (D-CA), and is a Harvard graduate and ultra-liberal Democrat despite his impeccable military credentials.

I don’t think so!

Active duty and retired troops recognize the extreme emotion that propels a loyal extraordiunarily brave military member to this political expression

If they're such miserable failures the best policy for Osama Obama and his Poliburo would be to ignore them.The fact that the Politburo feels the need to openly *label* them as failures proves that they're anything but.

—Swift Boaters, version 2012?—

That’s my take. And they will probably be just as effective. I play a game called “Command and Conquer”. The computer will attack your base in various wave styles, with breaks in between. Some are huge and designed to end the game. They require ridiculous amounts of coordination and bouncing from site to site to make sure your guys are defending that particular front.

Obama is going to be seeing that AFTER the convention. He - and his handlers - are so outclassed and over their heads on this it is going to be historic.

I repeat my prediction that I do not think the amateur will finish his term, probably due to personal meltdown, possibly in public.

They want to paint them as “dummies” because the leader of one of the groups said he’s a “birther”. And they desperately want to hide the fact that HI registrar Alvin Onaka confirmed that Obama’s HI record is legally non-valid. There is not a soul in this country who can LEGALLY say that Obama is even old enough to be President because he has no legally-established birth facts. At least not based on a Hawaii birth certificate. If he’s got legally-established birth facts they were established by some country BESIDES America - in which case he is known to not be a natural born US citizen as required by the Constitution.

And that issue is absolutely core for the media to try to undermine, because it is actually the reason why Obama couldn’t wait until the actionable intel from Bin Laden’s assassination was exploited, before telling the whole world what happened. Obama desperately needed a diversion because the now-legally-acknowledged FACT of the White House longform forgery was being noticed and documented.

The guy is a foreign enemy combatant, and in order to hide that fact he had to compromise all our intelligence efforts and the war on terror. That’s why the Founders wouldn’t allow foreigners to be President. That’s why the 20th Amendment says that even if somebody has been elected, certified as the winner, etc - if they FAIL TO QUALIFY by the start of the term they were elected to, they CANNOT ACT AS PRESIDENT. He’s 3 1/2 years into his term and CANNOT even legally qualify as old enough because he has no documentation to prove that he’s old enough to do ANYTHING - drive, buy liquor, register for the draft (which he never did...)..... anything that is restricted by age.

Whoever this “John Hudson” is, he’s obviously either ignorant of the facts, too stupid to comprehend what they mean, or too evil to speak the truth.

Its called “creating the narrative” - the leftist media do it all the time.

90% of Americans know little of the details of the case, and you can’t prove “respect” or opinions anyway - so if “Atlantic” tells them the Navy Seals are supposedly a laughing-stock, then its few readers might believe it.

If they are “failing miserably”, why the hell are Barry and the ‘RATS still whining about them. Why was this written to tell us that they are “failing miserably”? LOL! The left is in total denial.

The term ‘swiftboating’ (like “McCarthyism’) has been used by tthe libtards to mean an unfair persecution of the innocent, when in fact it is the ACCURATE portrayal of the guilty.

In both cases: McCarthy was proven to be right about the communists, and John Effin Kerry WAS a coward who ran from a gunfight in a War zone dumping his men into the water to be rescued by someone else. He was declared “unfit to command” and sent home after something like a month in Viet Nam.

A SEAL said on Fox “that the wolf doesn’t care what the sheep thinks.” Great quote.

It is a lie. Their tactic is to undermine the whole concept to make their message ineffective.

My only observation is that their team needs to heed the same advice as Akin, and other past candidates like Angle in NV. They need to stay on a very tight message. The one guy going on about birth certificates and such undermines their main message and gives people like The Atlantic and Obama something to hit back with. These guys need to tighten up and hammer 2-3 points over and over. No deviation.
