Van Jones: Soldiers Questioning Bergdahl Story Part Of "Orchestrated Smear Campaign"
realclearpolitics ^

Posted on 06/04/2014 10:14:29 PM PDT by chessplayer

VAN JONES: I'm Van Jones on the left. In the crossfire tonight, we have guests that disagree on the deal that freed Sergeant Bergdahl. Now, you remember the feeling you got when you first heard that we had finally gotten our last captive soldier home from Afghanistan? Remember that feeling? I do, too. Unfortunately, the Republicans want us to forget about it.

Now, I admit, there are important answers we have to answer here, but Sergeant Bergdahl isn't even out of the hospital yet and already the air waves are being filled mysteriously with former soldiers just trashing the guy. What is going on here? Well, it turns out that there are Republican operatives who are working behind the scenes to get some of those guys on television. This is an orchestrated smear campaign. The implication is that President Obama should have left a U.S. soldier to die, but if he had done that, the same Republicans would be attacking him for doing that, so the whole thing is completely outrageous.

Thank you, Van, for taking the time to tell us all what you’re doing by accusing others of doing the same.

But we already knew, your tactics are obvious.

They are testing the threshold of (righteous) anger is all I can think of here.

>> Suddenly Van Jones is a military supporter and patriot?

Exactly.

Any charges from the Right are not made carelessly nor with indifference to the potential impact of the charges being made.

Bergdahl was NOT a POW - he was NOT a “captive”.

Bergdahl willingly left his unit .. and he willingly consorted with the Taliban.

The only question is: DID BERGDAHL COLLABORATE WITH THE TALIBAN ..??

Somebody needs to get in Van Jones face and tell him we already know the truth .. so he’s wasting his time with his campaign to smear our “soldiers”.

Why do you think Obama went out of his way to violate the law to get this guy released? He sees in him a kindred spirit!!

The communists and terrorists support Obama! And vice versa.

So CNN considers this communist and terrorist sympathizer a part of legitimate debate? I suppose in the age of Obama you can now get away with this.

The smear campaign is well under way. In my local paper, people were calling them “disgruntled” and said they were being pais and so forth.

“This is an orchestrated smear campaign.”

Right, Van Jones. Except that YOU the orchestraTOR, and WE the orchestraiTEE !

As you well know, the grumbling did not come from the Republican party, but from American soldiers who saw several of their buddies killed while trying to find another soldier who they suspect was a actually deserter.

I guess he is. If that's true then Van makes it true that bergdahl defected.

FU Jones.

Those soldiers know the facts about Bergdahl because they served in his unit, whereas, you - a steaming pile of communist, anti-American crap - don’t have a fecking clue. So how about you kindly shove it up your marxist ass?

Sort of like the Muslim loving Marxist a-hole cabal in the White House.

Of course you make a good, tight logical argument. But the Democrat “Noise-Machine” is designed to obscure the facts so that a majority of the voting base just throws up it’s hands and goes along with those that are running the show.
