Candy Crowley to McCain: Was Bergdahl “Less Worthy of Rescuing” Than You as a POW (Video)
Gateway Pundit | June 8 2014 | Rachel Pulaski

Today on CNN’s State of the Union, Candy Crowley compared former POW John McCain with the traitor and deserter Bowe Bergdahl.

She actually had the audacity to ask Sen. McCain if Bergdahl’s life was less worthy than his. While retelling the stories of Bergdahl’s desertion and conversion to Islam Crowley asked, “Does that make this young man less worthy of rescuing from his circumstances than the young John McCain as a POW?”

Via The Right Scoop:

Whatever you may think of McCain’s career as a Republican senator, it’s reprehensible to make a comparison between his captivity and Bergdahl’s desertion. When McCain was given the opportunity to leave the torture camp and go home in order to help his torturer’s propaganda campaign, he refused, saying he wouldn’t go unless every soldier captured before him were released as well. Meanwhile, six and possibly more soldiers died looking for Bergdahl after he walked out on them.

That Crowley would even dare ask such a question shows how little they understand or respect the military.

No comparison between the release of Vietnam POWs and the trading of five top level terrorists for the deserter Bergdahl.

I can remember when our POWS were released from N.Vietnam prisons.

And I don't remember many of them as well fed as or as good condition as Bergdahl.

In fact, the longer held POWs were skeletonal compared to Bergdahl and limping/limp arms from their Hanoi Hilton accommodations.

Bergdhal wasn’t a POW, he was a hostage.

McCain had to be carried out on a stretcher. McCain was made fun of by Obama campaign because he could not keyboard or use a computer. McCain has trouble with a keyboard because of nerve damage from torture. McCain has limited are mobility from torture. Comparing Bergdahl to McCain is like comparing a piece of crap to a filet mignon! Crowley is an idiot.

Deserter Bergdahl and McWeDon’tHaveToBeAfraidOfObama are both aiding the enemy.

i hope his reply was “ every Prisoner of war needs to be rescued including those that leave their posts and aid the enemy. There is a military justice system to handle what he is alleged to have done. “

He should have just looked straight at her and said, "Yes."

It is kind of a Catch 22 isn’t it?

Damned if you do and damned if you don’t.

Guess Rush L has the right idea..he says he won’t go on a taped show because of the editing etc...

Guess it falls into the category that ‘WE’ say a
“Draft Dodger like Clinton/Obama shouldn’t show up at a Memorial Day or Veterans Day Speech because of ________________.”

Then, if they don’t, ‘WE’ say
“That sorry SOB didn’t have the decency to show up” etc etc etc.....
