State Department spokeswoman tells reporters to 'go Google' information about Bowe Bergdahl
Washington Examiner ^

Posted on 06/03/2014 8:51:11 PM PDT by bryan999

When pressed for details Tuesday about whether Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl deserted his post before being captured by the Taliban, State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf had some advice:

"Go Google it on the Web," she said.

Harf, who had earlier said State does not consider Bergdahl to be a deserter, noted that "nobody knows exactly what happened that night [Bergdahl was captured]" and told reporters not to resort to hearsay in their reporting.

When pressed further on the issue, Harf stated that she did not think the soldiers serving alongside Bergdahl knew the conditions under which he was captured, and referred to news reports as "rumors" and a "telephone game." At that point she advised reporters to resort to Google to find "a ton of" conflicting reports.

Gee, you’re a dirth of information.

So we can’t trust you for the unvarnished truth but, the Internet, yah. ..

Too bad Obama didn’t “Google it” before he cut the deal.

Plenty of dirt on this POS from rags that Democrats love

Marie Harf is a Jen Psaki wannabe.

I got that same advice from a former First Sergeant. He lost his job.

How do I get me one of those $150k jobs where you just tell the press “go Google it” and head for the links or the local watering hole?

The community dysfunction has two kinds of operators washing his dirty laundry: either outright pigeon-head flunkies like these characters at State, or outright vile, sick, twisted, lying crooks like holder, Carney, and Rice.

So if I go to the internet, do I also find out Obama’s college entrance paperwork to find out whether he either is a foreign citizen or lied to get “minority status?”

Awful. She is sure a testy, whiny, defensive biotech.

She’s just playing for time to give them a way to concoct a new defense.

The most galling part of what she said was suggesting the men who were actually THERE when it happened and worked with Bergdahl don't know as much as she/Obama does.

I've seen this type of thing in my job: Political pencil-pushers are so full of themselves they actually think that thinking people won't believe their own eyes. Or believe the word of those who saw what they saw, because the pencil-pushers somehow "know" better.

Sick.

Megyn Kelly pressed a good point tonight: If this Bergdahl guy was honorable, where are the people--who worked with him--speaking up on his behalf?

Anybody know what this Obama bimbo is talking about? She sure doesn't. Is she calling the soldiers who were there with Bergdahl a bunch of liars?

Seeing pics of those two bimbos speaks of America’s weakness. Oh wait, it’s not just a visual perception.. We just released 5 Taliban commanders back into the world to plan more terror attacks!! Obamadullah is guilty of TREASON but his bimbos still love his gay swagger.
