The veterans group in question is hard left ... know your context before you jump on board that train.

Nah why listen to reason or discern facts, adopt a meme and in the face of reality, lash out, call names, be angry. Next step, hole yourself up near a national park in camo with your latest carbon fiber semi automatic assault rifle blathering manifestos about how the Freemasons have taken over America as well as the American communist party. We have our kooks too.

There are a lot of sick people in the Trump crowd...people you wouldn’t want around your family. No wonder these vets are scared when dealing with the deranged.

Right, telling the truth about a Leftist political front group using Vets as props while pushing a racidcal Leftist agenda is now “trolling”.

Dear IAVA defenders

Why did IAVA raise $6 million in donations but only spend $80,000 helping Vets last year?

Why was your founders 1st advocacy action a demand to repeal of “Dont ask don't tell”?

Just slapping a “Vets” name on an political action organization does not legitimatize its actions. Exposing the truth behind that groups actions, including it's Founders Endorsement of Hillary Clinton, is not “trolling”.

Might want to check out the IAVA gorup you are so busy defending rather then engaging in your standard issue Cruzstasin attack posting.

Hmm so now the “Pure Conservatives” are defending a radical far leftist propaganda outfit like IAVA?

Ridiculous

This a$shat is trying to get press, and achieving it, by preemptively sayimg he wouldnt take a Trump donation.

None was ever offered.

But because hes anti trump, you all piled on it.

If you knew who IAVA was and jumped on anyway, its sleazy and disingenuous . If you didnt know who they are and you just piled onto anything anti Trump then you are admitting ignorance while spouting off claiming to care about the issue.

All i am saying is ... do some dang research. There’s plenty to criticize on all sides. Think people, just think.

While veterans are usually of superior stock to the average person, that does not mean they aren’t corruptible, nor is their status sacred. If a veteran peddles Leftist garbage, they should be encouraged to quit peddling Leftist garbage by any means necessary. Since Soetoro has largely expelled those who speak the truth about homosexuality from the military, the average veteran may well be of inferior stock to the average person in the near future.

You might want to research Paul Rieckhoff before feeling sorry or waving any banners for him.

Yep, he seems to be the ongoing "go to" guy whenever the MSM wants to slam Trump on our vets.

As far as I'm concerned, his short military history in the reserves does not warrant all the ribbons he has on his chest. He's nothing more than a "Charity whore" who is drawing in a 6 figure salary for his small organization.........

I’m a Vet and wouldn’t give a cent to any Vets “group”. WWP, this outfit, all suck off the current moment. Save your money and give to the guy next door who was wounded.

I guess everybody gets political, including vets.

Sigh..

Just seems wrong to me to attack vets.

Disagree with them, okay, but swear at them, you will justify, in their minds, that they are correct, that we are all just mean, etc.

The story came out of a source I don’t put a lot of credence in.
I hope it’s made up.

This is a Leftist activist group, but Cruzers probably knew that already, but decided to use him anyway.
