this was orders straight form the top and the top is Emanual, Axelrod , Michelle obama and yes bozo

The Diversity Czar will not allow pro-American people to speak to the Troops.

...But he will allow muslim terrorists to infiltrate the ranks without issue.

RE: “Obama is NOT Commander-In-Chief, his is a illegitimate usurper.”

...and Obama would NOT occupy the White House now if he were not a slick half-black guy with low-life and/or socialist connections — appealing to blacks looking for their first Pres., as well as libtards of all varieties hell bent on a huge ‘change’ after the Bush years.

Add to that the ACORN voter fraud and here we are.

But WE knew this well before the election. Now WE need to step in and reverse the horrid course we are on —

[manc]

so bozo can go and say to them you make a great back drop for a photo op.

Sarah goes who the military loves more and the top brass under orders from the white house say no media please.

Well this is easy, military takes video camera’s and then gives it to fox and local stations.
No point giving it to MSNBC, NBC as they are not an news organisation but an arm of GE which is also a propaganda arm for the white house

[Blueflag]

Well said, and true.

Don’t make the boss look bad, especially when he is a vindictive, petty b@stard.

[GI Joe Fan]

The Army is keeping the media away because the cameras would show a very enthusiastic and energetic crowd greeting someone who loves the troops and doesn’t view them as a photo op.

The grunts on the ground know intuitively who is on their side.

i expect to be blasted for this but i agree with the commanders. no matter who the president is (mmm-mmm-mmm)he IS the commander in chief. PERIOD. it is not a soldiers place to attack him politically or otherwise.

Folks like us are left to blast him. and blast him we shall thanks to those very soldiers who protect our freedom to do so.

[The Comedian]

Oh heavens no, no politicizing the Pretender in Chief on a military base...

“McCollum said the Army did not want the event to become a platform for Palin supporters to express political opinions “directed against the commander in chief.”

McCollum stepped WAY out of his lane to say this.

---

That’s what I was thinking. I interpret it as rope-a-dope: 0 and his buttboys will approve of the statement, too stupid to realize Sarah is about to galvanize the whole base, and Ft. Hood, too.

Put another way, McCollum is ordering about 500 youtube clips covering their howling approval of Sarah.

[humantech]

Agreed- The way I see it, the Military knows something is going down. They arent stupid.
When Sarah Comes to town ,they protect her FROM the media.
They release forward statements like this as a psyop- and to cover themselves and the troops.
Talk all you want.
This means Sarah gets to speak plainly without media twisting whats being said.
:-)

[Beckwith]

You will notice that all of the troopers in the photo at 71 have the same digital camera.

Now, how do you suppose that happened?

[txhurl]

Excellent observation! How DID that happen!?!?

[Gabrial]

“The U.S. Army plans to prevent media from covering Sarah Palin’s appearance at Fort Bragg...”

Figures. We can't have any fair and balanced coverage can we? Crap, we can't have any coverage AT ALL.

We now have the full force of the US Army suppressing the US news media. The America I was born in has ceased to exist.

[mo]

No names on any of those BDA’s either....

[txhurl]

Prole, lookit how the troops happen to be holding the same camera.

[camp_steveo]

Contradiction?

[Mariner]

It sucks, but it's a valid position by Army brass...

Decorum dictates you not sponsor an event on an Army base that CERTAINLY would be anti-Obama.
