NBC's Chuck Todd: White House Didn't Expect Critics to 'Swift Boat' Bergdahl
Newsbusters ^

Posted on 06/04/2014 11:46:31 AM PDT by chessplayer

Acting as a stenographer on Wednesday's NBC Today, chief White House correspondent Chuck Todd parroted the Obama administration's new attack against critics of the Bowe Bergdahl prisoner exchange: "They did not expect this backlash on Bergdahl himself. I've had a few aides describe it to me as, 'We didn't know that they were going to swift boat Bergdahl'....

MSNBC quickly seized on the "swift boat" line, with Last Word fill-in host Ari Melber declaring Tuesday night: "We're gonna look at the right-wing play book for the newly released American POW, a wounded man who isn’t even out of the hospital yet. Swift boat first, ask questions later."

Chuck Todd is a real pissant. If other people didn’t tell him what to think he’d be helpless.

Another item related to Bergdahl:

6 Dead because of Bergdahl? How about 8?

Via Michelle Malkin…

“Combat Outpost Zerok was almost overrun, multiple soldiers were wounded and PFCs Justin Casillas and Aaron Fairbairn lost their lives fighting that day,” the soldier told me. (I wrote about their deaths in my July 8, 2009 column, not knowing they were related to the Bergdahl mess.)

Is there an explanation why Bergdahl is the ONLY Taliban ‘captive’ to LIVE!

The Washington Times’ intent was to divide the “No” votes. Whereby they could say “Well only x number vote “No”..” When in reality any vote but “yes” is a “no” vote.

They are trying to soften what would rightly be “Yes by 7%” and “No by 93%”. (Damnation)

The developing meme being those people calling him a “deserter” are just haters or are somehow irrational.

I considered that, but it seems out of character for the Times, which leans solidly right.

He lived because he became a Taliban-—he is a traitor like Benidict Arnold—He should be sent back to his new buddies in the Middle East before he attacks targets in the USA for Allah.

It’s Obama’s new

“Taliban for Turncoats” program.

Haven’t you heard of it?

Chuck Todd also needs to accept the fact that he’s bald. Combing his hair down into a tiny bang is fooling no one.

“Kerry met with representatives from “both delegations” of the Vietnamese in Paris in 1970”

I am so sick of you Wingnuts attacking a great American like John Kerry. He did meet with both sides in Paris, he met with the North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong!

By “swift boat” they must mean “tell the truth”. Just as was done with John Kerry.

Not just telling the truth. It's about having those who served alongside being the ones telling the truth.

That was the same with Kerry and Bergdahl.

Not true. But I guess that doesn't matter.

I’m glad you’ve finally seen the light. John Kerry is the greatest American since Bowe Bergdah!
