Navy SEAL responds after Media Matters staffer says Obama-critical SEALs ‘don’t have guts’
The Daily Caller ^ | August. 16, 2012 | Vince Coglianese

Posted on 08/16/2012 11:17:43 AM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

Media Matters senior fellow Eric Boehlert said on Thursday that a group of former Navy SEALS “don’t have guts” after the special forces operators launched a media campaign condemning the Obama administration’s national security leaks.

“#kindalame former Navy SEALs don’t have guts to admit they’re running a GOP, anti-Obama campaign; http://nyti.ms/N2nYYj ” Boehlert wrote on Twitter Thursday morning.

The group Boehlert lashed out at is called the Special Operations OPSEC Education Fund and it’s composed of former U.S. intelligence and specials forces operators. They describe themselves as non-partisan and finger the current president as an example of a politician who uses national security secrets for political gain.

“STOP the politicians, President Obama and others, from politically capitalizing on US national security operations and secrets!” reads the organization’s website.

Scott Taylor is a former Navy SEAL of eight and a half years, and was a 2010 GOP candidate for Congress. He is now a member of the Special Operations OPSEC Education Fund.

Taylor responded to Boehlert’s tweet in a phone interview with The Daily Caller and said that his group of special forces operators is “clearly not gutless.”

“We’re clearly not gutless. We’re in the public right now, completely out there,” Taylor said.

I will give Eric Boehlert one thing: he's got guts. It takes guts to call Navy Seals gutless.

It's not guts, it's stupidity.

The SEALs won't give him the beating he so richly deserves. It's beneath them.

It's up to us, the American People (whom the SEALs serve), to defend their honour ...

This pissant little thing boehlert has never done anything useful in his life ... he has no concept of honour, or courage, or any other manly virtue. I have bought drinks for SEALs and other servicemen. I wouldn't give this boehlert a cup of warm piss even if it asked politely.

Media Smatters senior fellow Eric Boehlert said . . . .

The aged 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radicals (psycho spoiled brats actually) and their robotized ideological brats are using their patented "sharpie" attacks on authentic information.

This vandalism of truth could be effective if Obama does what John Kerry did when it got out somehow that we was a Vietnam War vet; to wit, it appeared to me that Kerry let it be known that he would not appear on any show that failed to denounce the swift boat veterans.

That's when I stopped listening to O'Reilly's "no spin" radio show because he daily attempted to discredit the swift boat vets -- it kind of made me dizzy listening to that whirling dervish O'Reilly.

Wow! A little commie fag saying the U.S. Navy SEALS don’t “have guts”. I sure hope they don’t hurt the boy too badly. He might want to go on a European vacation for a while. Or maybe one of those goofy, “enviro-cruises” the rich commie lib celebrities are always taking to Antarctica.

As flawed as the incident was, he (the character) made his point very well. Just don’t cover it up and lie. Integrity is core to JJDIDTIEBUCKLE

They aren’t SPECOPS for nothing, they wouldn’t loose their cool over this clown, and if this twit found himself at the bottom of a stairwell a bloody mess, it wouldn’t get caught on camera.

Many, many, many moons ago, I watched a group of bored SpecOps people undergoing language training in a small California coast town, pull an operation on the local leather gay bar located not far from the gate to ‘government property’.

One went inside the bar, and started a fight, then ran out, being chased by a large group of them.

When he went through the then-unmanned gate, being chased by about 15 of them, the other three of his SpecOps group jumped out of the trees and proceeded to wail on them. It was hilarious to watch.

When the queers complained to the Post Police, they just laughed at them, and said they could be charged with trespassing on gub’ment property.

In OPSEC’s video “Dishonorable Disclosures” the question was raised about why Obama didn’t wait wait days or longer to tell the world about the Bin Laden assassination, until after the actionable intelligence gained from that raid could be exploited. Good question. The answer reveals that Obama’s treachery is deeper than simply disregarding the value of our nation’s security and the security of our special forces. Even more treacherous than seeking his own POLITICAL gain:

He sacrificed all of that because his own status as an enemy of the US was being revealed.

Obama couldn’t wait a week to give his announcement because he had to divert attention from the fact that he was being found out as a forger, fraudster, perjurer, and (foreign) enemy combatant after having released at a White House press conference a badly-done forgery of a US birth certificate.

Why did he do that? HI State Registrar, Alvin Onaka, revealed in a verification to AZ SOS Ken Bennett that Obama’s birth record in Hawaii is not legally valid. Unless he has a BC from somewhere besides Hawaii (in which case he is not eligible because he was not born in the US) there are no legally-established birth facts for Obama EVEN TO THIS DAY, which means that Obama has NEVER qualified to be President of the United States.

People might think this issue is piddles, but Obama sacrificed the lives of Navy SEAL Team Six in order to cover up the fact that there is no legally-probative evidence that he was ever born in this country. If this issue is piddles then so are the men who died because of this issue.

It’s not piddles. We’re not dealing with somebody who is *accidentally* destroying this country and her national security, or somebody who wants America to thrive but uses whatever he can for political advantage. We are dealing with somebody who knew all along that he was a foreign enemy combatant, and he is willing to sacrifice ANY American lives, security, freedom, or fortune in order to carry out his real mission - the mission of his communist-Islamist master, George Soros: to destroy America and to destroy capitalism (what he has said are the world’s 2 great evils that he as *god* has to defeat).

Lawrence Sellin told Mark Gillar about an encounter where one of the Repub Presidential candidates was asked why nobody will do anything about Obama’s eligibility problem. The response: This issue runs way deeper than anybody knows.

They know this is treason. They know it is a foreign enemy combatant who occupies our White House. They know our men are being killed by the very enemy who tells them what to do and not do on a daily basis. By their so-called “Commander-in-Chief”.

We have to protect these guys from him. Have to protect this country from him.

That Media Matters person had better make his peace with God, he has pissed off the wrong group of people.

I expect he will have a “heart attack” or step off of a curb in front of a bus very soon.

A notable figure at Media Matters is senior fellow Eric Boehlert, who was among the most passionate defenders of University of South Florida professor Sami Al-Arian after the latter was accused of having been the North American leader of the terrorist organization Palestinian Islamic Jihad. In an article titled “The Prime-time Smearing of Sami Al-Arian,” Boehlert charged that: “In the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, all four media giants, eagerly tapping into the country’s mood of vengeance and fear, latched onto the Al-Arian story, fudging the facts and ignoring the most rudimentary tenets of journalism in their haste to better tell a sinister story about lurking Middle Eastern dangers here at home.”
