Lieutenant Colonel Terrence Lakin yesterday returned to the Pentagon clinic where he has been stationed but this time he was met by his commander, Colonel Gordon Roberts, who read Lakin his rights and revoked his pass access to the building. Lakin’s computer is also reportedly being seized and the military case for his court martial being prepared . . .

1. Ha! Hope he enjoys Leavenworth. Fucker.

[Ichingcarpenter]

2. About bloody time r/n. N/T

[whistler162]

28. Really? He just failed to obey the order, 1 day.

between missing his movement and being informed that he would stand court martial.

[librechik]

36. I think it was his statements in public of his eager insubordination that did it

Shouldn't have blabbed on the internet. Bad Form.

[unhappycamper]

3. Good. n/t

[hobbit709]

4. Hope he likes his new rank-inmate #xxxxx

[msanthrope]

23. He'll enjoy his Big Chicken Dinner, I'm sure. n/t

[XOKCowboy]

5. Uh Oh. A Teabag Martyr

He'll be the darling of the RW "news" now.

I'm glad he's getting what he deserves. I'm sure when he took his oath to defend the Constitution he never thought a black man would be elected President. Enjoy the brig asshole.

[LynneSin]

6. Someone give him Orly Taintz's card

:rofl:

Honestly, if there was any truth in the matter about Obama's birth certificate, don't you think that either Hillary Clinton or John McCain would have unearthed it?

[Ichingcarpenter]

7. After all she is a dentist

And his wisdom teeth are not working let alone his eye teeth

[LynneSin]

8. Don't forget she has a real-estate license. Perhaps when he's out of leavenworth...

she can help him find a new home.

:rofl:

[CatWoman]

9. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

fucking birthers!!

:rofl:

[bullwinkle428]

10. Computer seized? Maybe they'll reveal his Freeper username!

[msanthrope]

13. The Freepi are going nutz---the thread is lolz, and they still haven't figured out that

Lakin is gonna go on court martial for disobeying the order of a CMH holder.

Jeebus christ....all we need is Orly Taitz.

[msanthrope]

11. This asshat's CO--Colonel Roberts, is a Congressional Medal of Honor recipient.

I think Lakin picked the wrong fight here--he will go to court martial and have to defend why he didn't take orders from a CMH holder.

[d_r]

12. but he wasn't taken into custody?

[malaise]

14. Oh Happy Day

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah hahahahahaha! :rofl:

[City Lights]

15. Yippee!

Doin' the happy dance as I type!

:bounce: :party: :woohoo:

[NotThisTime]

16. As it should be....

[pscot]

17. He's a fucking loony.

Put him some place he can't hurt himself.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

18. Haw Haw!

My uncles served under every president from Roosevelt to Obama even though they hated some of them (Reagan, Nixon, Bush)...they didn't try to weasel out of service with conspiracy crap.

[smoogatz]

19. I hope he gets twenty years at hard labor.

Where the fuck was this guy when George W Bush, unconstitutionally appointed to the presidency by five conservative members of the Supreme Court, sent thousands of his fellow servicemen and women off to Iraq to be maimed and killed under false pretenses? Where was this asshole's sense of moral rectitude then? This guy is a bigot and an idiot, and whoever is giving him legal advice is an idiot, too.

[struggle4progress]

20. The rightwing will pet and caress Lakin while he serves their purposes, then

they'll drop him cold

Meanwhile, there will be substantial presumption that Mr Obama serves in his present capacity with full legal qualification. He was sworn into office on the steps of the US Capitol, by a Republican appointee to the Supreme Court and in the presence of his political opponents, after a long national campaign in which he carried not only a majority of the voters but also a majority of the Electoral College, there thus having been ample time for opponents in either party to raise any eligibility question in any state before any of the primaries and before the 2008 general election. His services in US and Illinois Senates both presuppose US citizenship. And he has travelled under a US passport, which similarly presupposes US citizenship: in issuing such passports (which on issue show place and date of birth), the Department of State maintains good records, so during the Bush presidency it should have been easy enough for the Republican administration to leak news of his birth abroad, had he actually been born abroad. In short, the claim that Mr. Obama is ineligible for his office requires stupidity or conspiracy, stretching over many years and involving his political friends and foes alike in both Illinois government, among the election authorities of fifty states, among the Electors of the various states, and in the executive and legislative branches of the Federal government

In his future capacity as a private citizen, speaking about a public figure, Mr Lakin will of course be free to advance almost any theory he wishes regarding Mr Obama's birth: he will be free, for example, to advance the theory that Mr Obama was born on Krypton, or was genetically engineered by a mad scientist, or was purchased by mail order as a robotic kit from Sears and assembled in the Chicago Stock Yards. And if he should turn out to be sufficiently unhappy about healthy care reform, Mr Lakin will also be free to refuse psychiatric medication. Until, however, he musters out, he is not free to disregard a lawful order

[Subdivisions]

21. Throwing away his career and retirement over stupid hysteria. What a dumbass. n/t

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

27. Perhaps he plans to make his moolah as a RW celeb after he gets out. -nt

[Robb]

30. To be honest, I hope that's the plan.

Otherwise he's a spectacular rube. :D

[Toasterlad]

31. He'll Work a Few Events Opening For Sarah Palin

And then he'll be forgotten, like the last jackass to pull this stunt was...the one who's name no one can remember.

He'll make enough money from the teabagger gigs to last a few years, but nowhere near what his career and pension - not to mention his medical license - were worth. He's a fucking moron.

[Echo In Light]

22. k/r

[sellitman]

24. You don't have to be a stupid vapid asshole to be a Republican

But it sure helps.

[Electric Monk]

25. Ha Ha!

Ha Ha!

[ClayZ]

26. Yay!

Yay! Send 'em to the Sockade. Send him and all the Teabaggers and Oath Keepers and other Anti-American yayhoos in the our military, and in our police force to the stockade. Revoke this wing-nut's medal of honor, too. Not another dollar of the taxpayers money should go to pay people like him to keep being STUPID.

[dionysus]

33. he didnt get a medal of honor, his commanding officer did.

[Ganja Ninja]

29. “If they court-martial him it will be huge,”“They will risk making a martyr of him.”

He'll be forgotten 2 minutes after the cell door slams behind him. These birthers that talk people into doing this type of stuff are only interested in making legal challenges. Once this chump loses they will have no further use for him.

[Gin]

32. IMO they will discharge him...no jail time...he will do the circuit

for the thugs and get his 15 minutes like Joe the plumber...but he really won't suffer...he wanted out of the service...he isn't stupid..he knew what would or could happen...they better make him pay back the gov for his education.

[leftynyc]

34. Wont he lose his penion?

Somewhere in the neighborhood of $65k a year. Unless he's independently wealthy, I call that suffering. Hope it hurts bad.

[Gin]

35. He was just on MSNBC spewing his crap.....they mentioned

he appears to be asking for a court martial by his actions...

[Obamanaut]

37. It's fixed now. Never mind. nt
