Van Jones: Soldiers Questioning Bergdahl Story Part Of "Orchestrated Smear Campaign"
realclearpolitics ^

Posted on 06/04/2014 10:14:29 PM PDT by chessplayer

VAN JONES: I'm Van Jones on the left. In the crossfire tonight, we have guests that disagree on the deal that freed Sergeant Bergdahl. Now, you remember the feeling you got when you first heard that we had finally gotten our last captive soldier home from Afghanistan? Remember that feeling? I do, too. Unfortunately, the Republicans want us to forget about it.

Now, I admit, there are important answers we have to answer here, but Sergeant Bergdahl isn't even out of the hospital yet and already the air waves are being filled mysteriously with former soldiers just trashing the guy. What is going on here? Well, it turns out that there are Republican operatives who are working behind the scenes to get some of those guys on television. This is an orchestrated smear campaign. The implication is that President Obama should have left a U.S. soldier to die, but if he had done that, the same Republicans would be attacking him for doing that, so the whole thing is completely outrageous.

Being a deserter/traitor/collaborator is not a crime to the left

Now, you remember the feeling you got when you first heard that we had released the five most senior and dangerous terrorists from Guantamo? Remember that feeling? I do, too. Unfortunately, Van Jones want us to forget about it.

Hey, Van, you commie puke:

“LTC Terry Lakin was an 18 year fully decorated officer who was court martialed and sentenced to 6 months in prison at Ft. Leavenworth, a sentence which he served.

LTC Lakin was NOT trying to escape serving in Afghanistan. He just wanted Barack Obama to demonstrate that he was a LEGITIMATE Commander in Chief by issuing a valid birth certificate.”

You can also add declaring them to be unfit to own firearms, and potential terrorists.

This has been a Talking Point all day.

“Republican operatives” helping these guys get their story out.

Were we supposed to wait for the Democrats to let thesae guys speak?

Like Matt Lauer is going to give them 5 minutes?

No where in here is there a hint of anything that these men are saying not being true.

So if you can not avoid the truth lie your ass off.....

Van Jones wouldn’t know the truth if it slapped him. He is a lying anti-American and a perfect democrat. This is what democrat voters want running the nation. And they won’t figure it out even when they’re killing and eating each other because their little demigods have destroyed the welfare train they’ve been riding. Vermin like Jones will be eating fine however in a well stocked bunker of the oligarchs for his lapdoggery.
