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

Is this disinformation, misinformation, or just erroneous political gossipy information?

If not true, this shouldn’t be posted.

If true, this really sucks.

As a Cruz supporter, I have bee called quite a few names, here.

And, yes, I have seen Cruz supporters call Trump supporters names, too.

I say let’s leave their families out of it, and honor our veterans, no matter who we may support.

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”.

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.

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

IAVA shepherded passage of the New GI Bill in 2008, was instrumental in getting Advanced Appropriations signed into law in 2009, made critical advances in VA Disability Reform in 2010, was a major player in passing the Vow to Hire Heroes Act in 2011 and is focused on defending attacks to the New GI Bill in 2012.

Looks as if this is your standard organization that lobbies for bigger government. It appears very little of their donations actually go directly to veterans. This is probably why they didn’t make the Trump Foundation list.

The few Veteran groups who stood up and denounced Trump for running a fund raiser for Vets were acting politically in a very high profile way. They were trying to hurt Trump. They are getting a political response.

They should not have entered into the political fray if they don’t want politics to touch them. If they did not want Trump’s money, they could have not applied for it and shut their big mouths.

Ah a hard left piece from the blogosphere attacking Trump supporters.

Of course most folks don’t know who these secondary wannabes are.

It is good to know that whiners are still whiners

This doesn’t make any sense. I, like most other Trump supporters are strong defendants of the military. I take exception to his demeaning remarks. Some were unhappy that an individual felt so high and mighty he’d turn down money to help veterans based on his own narrow political beliefs. The money was donated by many Americans, including Donald Trump. I’m sorry many veterans in need were left out of the loop because of this guy.

Keep posting child. You are doing far more damage to your candidate with your behavior then you could possible realize.
