Officials in Bergdahl's Hometown: "Stop the Hate"
NBC ^ | 3 June 2014 | BY HASANI GITTENS AND DIANE DUTHWEILER

Posted on 06/03/2014 4:16:20 PM PDT by tellw

In Hailey, Idaho, the hometown of freed U.S. soldier Bowe Bergdahl, the joy at his release has turned for some into shock and fear — the fear of picking up the phone.

That's because some town officials have been deluged with angry calls from people who think that Bergdahl is an Army deserter or traitor who doesn't deserve a hero's welcome.

I don’t know if I believe that....the parents appear like leftover 60s flower children to me.

...further it was said today on a fox guest panel, that not only did he walk away...but there are investigating thatwhen he did he sought out the Taliban for the one who spoke English. That’s going to hurt his chances if this goes to Military charges.

* Did AWOL, (since 6-30-09), Sgt. Bergdahl volunteer to the Taliban to be traded for 5 Taliban Leaders held by fellow Muslim Obama?

* If so, then did the Taliban make a side deal with Obama concerning information they had on Obama’s Benghazi Massacre of 2012?

* If so, then Trey Gowdy needs to include this illegal Obamadeal in his investigation of Benghazi.

* Since this illegal Obamatrade came directly from Obama, will Speaker Boehner instruct Trey Gowdy to include this Obamatrade in the House Benghazi Investigation, or will Boehner form a New House Committee?

* Did the illegal Obamatrade of one deserter, US Sergeant for five Taliban Generals benefit the Taliban more than it benefitted the US?

* Did this illegal Obamatrade “provide material assistance to a terrorist organization?” If so, then Obama has committed a Felony, by Federal Law.

* Was this illegal Obamatrade “contrary to American National Security?”

* Does any aspect of this illegal Obamatrade rise to the level of “Dereliction of Duty” by the Commander in Chief of the US Military?

* If so, would Impeachment of Obama be a deterrent punishment enough “to make sure that this never happens again?”

Only 10.64 percent are Mormon. Check your facts first.

Wouldn’t it be some wonderful karma if these five guys took out those responsible for freeing them.

“Only 10.64 percent are Mormon. Check your facts first.”

Didn’t check, just know that most of Idaho is heavily Mormom. I guess being that it’s the “gateway” to Sun Valley, the numbers are lower. Any way you look at it, Haley is going to look foolish when this whole issue gets settled.

Obama acknowledged there’s a chance that the released prisoners could rejoin the Taliban or other terror networks intent on harming Americans. If they take those steps, Obama said the U.S. “will be in a position” to go after them.

I don’t believe Obama would be so quick to say we’d go after them if his own daughters were soldiers sent to chase them.

5 and 1/2 years as an agitator, a divider, a character assassin has gotten Obama to the point where 10’s of millions of Americans despise him and give him no slack. Obama has used up his goodwill, he’s pissed it away. And it’s going to touch anyone who gets next to Obama. He’s created tremendous distrust. I guess that wasn’t in Alinsky’s book.

Obama’s concept of WAR is based on that snappy game played on his cell phone: “release ‘em from Gitmo and zap ‘em with Obamadrones.”

Time to pressure these two to cancel:

“The questions also didn’t dampen enthusiasm for Bergdahl’s return in his hometown of Hailey, Idaho, where planning for a welcome event at the end of the month were proceeding. “For now, we’re going to keep the politics out of Hailey and focus on the news that Bowe was found, and he is safe,” said Stefanie O’Neill, a co-organizer of the group “Bring Bowe Back,” now renamed “Bowe is Back.”

O’Neill said she hasn’t had any cancellations from those slated to perform, including singer Carole King and Travis Hardy Band. Bergdahl’s parents, Bob and Jani, also are expected to attend.

“I think the event is growing, as opposed to diminishing, through all of this,” said O’Neill, a stay-at-home mother of two who estimates she’s done 70 interviews with local, national and international media over the past two days.”

It’s Carole_King on twitter.

“Most” of Idaho is certainly not Mormon, however the eastern part of the state from Preston north to Rexburg is, around 65% I would guess are LDS. Which would probably be about 25% of the population of the state.

Sean Hannity was interviewing the dance instructor that lives in Hailey..she pretty much refused to say anything bad about him til “All the facts come out.” Said maybe he was just distressed about the war LOL Ok let’s see, being distressed equals calling America “Disgusting” Okie dokie yeah that makes lots of sense/sarc
I guess I’m just used to living amongst the loons here in California when I hear about places like Idaho that vote GOP I just assume every town is mostly Conservative, guess not
