will destroy the Republican years long campaign of Obama is a weak President and the hateathon that keeps their brainwashed minions obedient, high on hate, junkies enslaved to outrage, will fade.
There is no measured debate or any debate with these extremists, nothing will satisfy them, all things Obama does are reacted to with justified measure of rage usually reserved for serial killers and pedophiles.
Any lie and deflection is fair game to protect the brainwashed from the truth. Hate is the grease that is the easiest balm to apply to turn every action into a reaction of pure frothing at the mouth hate.
All coming to a cable network near you because they love that kind of stuff to fill the endless panels and never ending airtime.

"Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl (who was captured when he was an E-3, and promoted twice while in captivity) has been released.
In just about every comment section of any article about the release you will find some right wing nuts calling him a "traitor", "deserter" and "collaborator". (most of those making these accusations have zero military experience of course)
I think the reasons for this are two fold: first that he was released under Obama's watch. That irked them to no end. second, he was released due to negotiations and not a massive deadly assault into another nation - like with bin Lauden.
These right wing nuts feel they have the Sgt. pegged as a "traitor" because the Taliban said he was helping them. That he is a "deserter" because the Tailban said he had walked away from his post
or gone out drinking
or left the FOB to use a makeshift latrine
or go AWOL for a few days. That he is a "collaborator" because he appeared in several (4) videos produced by the Taliban instead of fighting to the death or escaping.
It seems that the Taliban is a more reliable source of information about a US Soldier than the US Military which has stated:"The Taliban are known for lying and what they are claiming [is] not true" and "I'm glad to see he appears unharmed, but again, this is a Taliban propaganda video. They are exploiting the soldier in violation of international law.""
Edit: The Taliban are not AQ, you freaky morons, and lying about it because it makes your hate of the President more palatable to your freaking voter base, and so you can fundraiser on it get on the freaky cable TV news shows to screech said sad lies, makes you freaking traitors.
Is the problem the exchange rate, should it have been 3 for 1, 4 for 1?
