“Monstrous Profanity” is the PERFECT description of Obozo’s entire 6 year reign of error.
Good!
Very good.
I would use the word traitor.
Col. David Hunt: US Lost 14 SOLDIERS Searching for Deserter Bowe Bergdahl (Video)

A deserter just runs away. A defector goes over to the other side and fights against his country................................... I don’t think Slovic defected, but he did end up in front of a firing squad. I guess we’re far more Liberal today than we were in 44’-45’. Well, I’m sure this will drag out, right down to the PTSD defense. Its going to be a show for sure and it will most positively divert attention from the more important issues.
How does someone like King keep making money?
Alpo, defector is a great observation. I wish everyone would start using this word to describe Benedict Bergdahl.
We should pick the town of one of the guys killed looking for him and hold a pro-American celebration for true heroism on the 4th.
>> We should pick the town of one of the guys killed looking for him <<
We should pick the towns of ALL of the guys killed looking for him
Going Wild--Carole King (1958)
I’m surprised Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens) wasn’t also going to be in Idaho for the homecoming.
Didn’t know King was still alive.
I really wanted to see this parade protested by pretty much everyone!
I initially typed ‘defector’, but changed to ‘deserter’ given reports I read concerning his initial missing status.
Levin callers tend to be knowledgeable, so it wouldn’t surprise me if defection is a factor.
Oh, I'm bein' followed by a ji---hadist, jihadist, jihadist.
I love it when Mark.takes a call and it turns out the caller is more than a bowl of spaghetti and meatballs, and brings a clear statement like that to the discussion. I actually couldn't believe he took that call so late in the show... I was expecting the music to start playing over him 15 seconds into the call. Glad Mr. Callscreener got the guy on the air. It needed to be said.
Defector is a relatively new term. Historically there have been several different classifications of “deserters” and those classifications often determined how they were punished.
Someone in peacetime who deserted their unit to return home or just disappear was the least serious offender. They were always punished when caught but often the punishment was not that severe and they sometimes were given the option of returning to duty. In wartime this offender was subject to increased punishment but usually not capital punishment unless their desertion was “in the face of the enemy”.
Desertion to the enemy (sometimes referred to now as “defection”), with or without “weapons and accouterments” has historically always been punishable by death in the US military although some convicted of this were given lesser sentences based on the details of their individual cases.
They share a luddite sensibility, endemic anti-Semitism, and a desire to bring down America's capitalist individualistic culture.
