A celebration in Bowe Bergdahl's hometown of Hailey, Idaho, planned for later this month has been cancelled in the wake of a firestorm of controversy over how the Army sergeant wound up as a Taliban captive.
**SNIP**
Town officials on Tuesday told NBC News that they had been deluged with hateful calls from people who don't think Bergdahl should be celebrated as a hero.
In the Wednesday statement, the town said they had received about "100 correspondences" per day on the issue, both positive and negative.
Hailey officials say they aren't cancelling because of any threat, but because of the numbers of people that might have turned up.

Bowe has a mouth and will eventually open it. Either way, it won't be good.
neither him nor his daddy will hold up to scrutiny, imo....
HA!. They canceled because either they finally figured out he was a traitor, and there are still a few patriots among them……
OR:
They feared that it would bring in hordes of protesters… those dangerous home grown terrorist veterans and bible clinger types that Butch Napolitano warned everyone about a few years ago.
My Spidey-sense is tingling. With the state department making the statement that Bowe’s unit does not know the full story, I am becoming highly suspicious that something is up.
Would not be surprised if the White House comes up with a story about Bergdahl being some kind of secret agent or something and that he deserted under orders.
Is that the major bull dyke I saw on tv this morning? I almost spewed my coffee when I saw that one!
Just some general info about Bergdalh’s home town.
Hailey and the Valley running up to Sun Valley there are the only majority liberal area of Idaho. Most of the people there do not have a clue about what really went on with Bergdalh...and a lot of the liberals there share the anti-American military sentiments of Bergdahl’s father and that Bergdalh himself developed.
Bergdahl was a clear deserter, and American lives were lost searching for him in the first months after he went AWOL. IMHO, he was probably an enemy collaborator, and I believe his father encouraged him to become one when he told him to obery his conscience and seek men of like mind to stand with. After that email, Bergdahl did precisely that.
It is a travesty and it is disgusting.
I believe Obama thought there would be some kind of euphoria over a US soldier released...not matter the circumstances or cost. I also believe he calculated to have this story get the VA scandal off the front page.
Now it too is blowing up in his face, as well it should.
Finally, I believe that Obama did a three way deal for Bergdhal’s relese. The Taliban itself was not holding Bergdahl. He was under the control of the Haqqanis. They always want a ransom...money...and lots of it for their hostages. I believe if someone digs deep, they will find that not only were the Taliban given their top commanders...all of whom are bloodthirsty killers of Americans and innocents...but that the Haqqanis got a cash payoff too.
If this is so, Obama himself and his administration are guilty of providing financial material aid to terrorists...as well as abjectly violating the law over the release of the five GITMO prisoners.
An Artcile 32 needs to be held on Bergdahl and get the mountains of evidence sworn in and on the record. Then they need to convene a Court Martial for his desertion...in which case he should spend the next 20 years in Leavenworth. If they find he also collaborated, he should be executed.
Having said all of that...and knowing that the majority of Idahoans feel as I do...I do not know anyone who would go over to Hailey and try to physically stop or disrupt their parade. That’s not where the treason and the problem lies. They are just a bunch of uninformed and misguided people, being wagged by the dog.
I believe the town politicians have figured out that this would be a bad thing...for the image of the twon, and for them politically...so they are backing away from it..
I dunno who you saw on TV this Morning...
But I have been calling the ex- head of DHS “Butch” since her days as U.S. Attorney for Arizona appointed by her part-time girlfriend’s husband in 1993 .
Their biggest worry?
One suspects their big worry might be that someone with major insider knowledge just might yield to good conscience, and blab everything (then write a major book?).
.
But the Obama administration (and Bowe's dad, Robert?) knew otherwise.
So was the Obama administration COUNTING on the high profile celebration to boost his sagging polls (another "Obama Got Osama" moment)?
There is a military man named Kennedy who gave a "profanity laced" opposition to using this event as a "jingoistic" (his word not mine) celebration.
So just what WAS at play here? There is a military man named Kennedy who gave a
