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.

Calling a Navy SEAL “gutless” is rather ... gutsy.

Eyeball to eyeball, yes (maybe even suicidal). Twitter, ya gotta be kidding me!

I urge everyone to support these courageous Special Operations veterans by sending these links to everyone you know and asking them to forward these links to their friends. The YouTube video went from 2,300 yesterday afternoon to almost 300,000 today.

Well, a hush fell over
the pool room as Jimmy come
boppin’ in off the street
And when the cuttin’ was done
the only part that wasn’t bloody
was the soles of
the big man’s feet

Yeah he was cut in ‘bout
a hundred places and
he was shot in a couple more
And you better believe
they sung a different kind of story
when Big Jim hit the floor

....

What, don’t you recall Nancy Pelosi saying that the CIA lied to her because she wasn’t aware that any of the captured enemy combatants were having EIT’s used against them, including waterboarding.

And no one went after her for that bald face lie...

[Tucker39]

This is also for the replies from Joe Brower and Sgt. York,

Thanks for the insights. I feel better already. ;o)

Scott Taylor remarked . . . “I wonder how many of this guy’s close friends he’s buried,” he added, referring to Boehlert.

More than several . . .

The list ranges from aids, drug overdose, alcoholism, etc. You know all the usual communist induced and propagated human sufferings.

Me too, Old Sarge, but I might have a problem getting by the physical. Not too many guys deployed these days with a defibrillator implanted in the chest.

Is it true Eric Boehlert said the same things about Muslims? That he called them out and drew a picture of Mohammad with a curly tail?

That Eric Boehlert is one brave man.

He's not brave for taking on Seals - he knows they're honor bound and won't hurt a hair on his wimpy sorry ass head. But brave for taking on radical Muslims... Man, they will stick a knife in his heart and attach a note to it... . Boehlert's one brave dude. /s

As long as you can pull a trigger while sitting on the porch with a sweet tea, you’re eligible for the Ancient and Loyal Order Of Old Farts (A.L.O.O.F.)!

[Old Sarge]

Done.

And of course, we’re going to see the meme that not only did BHO order the raid, but he also:

* Personally piloted the lead helicopter,
* Set it on autopilot while he Australian-rappelled into the compound;
* Brandished a crew-served weapon in each hand;
* Blew every door open with his forehead;
* Personally double-tapped OBL with .50 cal tracer hollow-points while shouting, “Yes I Can!” in perfect Arabic; and
* recorded the entire operation with a webcam duct-taped to his red bandana, which he wore since he’s way too butch to wear a helmet.

Schoolyard namecalling isn't going to get him anywhere. These gentlemen are astoundingly cool characters, not teenage football players and none of them even know who he is or care.

Maybe he is light in his loafers and is just hoping to have his fantasies fufilled about being abducted, ball gagged and stuffed into a burlap bag or something.

[FreedomPoster]

So basically the guy is a long-time Clymer.

Man, Patterico really nailed this dweeb.

I can do that, but substitute the sweet tea for Low Hanging
Fruit merlot. I’ll also have to buy a lot more ammo. Sign me up!

[DJ Taylor]

With half the country “on the dole” and dependent on the Democrat Party to provide them with their daily bread (and drugs), this endeavor will probably be to no avail, but we have to try.

I just signed up and made a donation.
