Sarah Palin goes all in with attack on the President over the release of Sgt. Bergdahl.

Okay this is especially nasty even for Palin.

Here are some excerpts from today's venomous Facebook post:  

Barack Hussein Obama, there you go again. You underestimated the wisdom of the people, the valor of our vets, the patriotic pride of military families, and the moral courage of our servicemen. You are shocked that our collective jaw dropped when the inner circle you command told us an anti-American deserter met your standards of having “served with honor and distinction.”

(Did she really just use his middle name again? That is sooo 2010. But she is not done yet.)  

From the apology tours, to the military cuts, to the VA scandal’s “death panel” rationing of care for vets, to the Commander-in-chief’s blundered references to corpsmen as, ironically, “corpse-men,” Americans have patiently endured Team Obama’s military cluelessness, but even your own base is abandoning you after this latest disaster. 

Mr. President, you’ve been on our case since Day One, and your constant disparaging of conservatives is, you claim, just “keeping folks accountable.” In the interests of equality, I hope you can appreciate that now America is holding Team Obama accountable for the disaster that erupted from your unbelievable terrorist negotiations – a scandal with even more disastrous long-term consequences ahead. After so many fumbles, you crossed a line into dangerous territory atop soil created by the complete opposite of “honor and distinction.” We won’t follow you there. Nor, even, I predict, will previously politically correct church leaders, influential business tycoons, down-to-earth celebrities, and low-information voters. This is part of our nation’s great awakening.

(Didn't she predict much the same thing after Benghazi?)  

You freed terrorists who were captured for a reason. Our brave ones sacrificed blood and treasure to keep America safe by doing what you send them into war zones to do – to get the bad guys off the street. You just undid that. The icing on this devil’s food cake is that you did it for an anti-American deserter whose actions have created even more harm for his comrades and former countrymen. 

(She does know that George Bush freed over 500 Guantanamo detainees right?)
 
This deserter chose to put our soldiers in greater danger by abandoning his post and purposefully hooking up with the enemy after writing of his disdain for the USA. (Since when is being captured the same thing as "hooking up?" She makes it sound like he went out cruising for some Islamic man flesh.) He told others he was ashamed to be an American. His own father proudly shared these comments with media back in 2012. He also proclaimed while in uniform, “The horror that is America is disgusting.” And he’s the one you honor at the White House? Why not give the Rose Garden podium over to the families of the men who died during the rescue efforts mounted to find this ungrateful, disloyal, and dangerous one. (Does she mean the ones made up by the conservatives?) In sympathy, you risked innocent lives to bring him back inside the security of the country he chose to leave! So, have you asked yourself what exactly were we “rescuing” him FROM? According to some reports, he actually renounced his citizenship, in addition to publishing his contempt for our nation, before cowardly trading himself from Team America to Team Taliban. In doing so out in the field, he may have aided our enemies of the Islamic Terrorist persuasion. 

You obviously play way too much golf. At the cost of America’s faithful soldiers who’ll never get a second chance, on your scorecard a deserter gets the mulligan? You underestimated the wisdom of the people, Commander-in-Chief, for we are horrified and disgusted by your secret negotiations with radicals to free five Islamic terrorists in exchange for an anti-American deserter whose actions got others killed. Even more disgusting is your celebration of the cowardly act that initiated this disaster.

So she is absolutely positive that Bergdahl is not only a deserter, but also a traitor who probably aided the Taliban? Let me guess, she has secret sources?

You know I have seen more than my fair share of Sarah Palin vitriol in my time, but this one....this one is off the damn charts!

I already shared with all of you the Rolling Stone article which explains Bergdahl's disillusionment with the military and America during his time in Afghanistan. Apparently Palin did not bother to read it however.

There is also some new information that suggests that the Taliban threatened to kill Sgt. Bergdahl if details of the prisoner swap were leaked to the press, which might explain why Congress was left out of the loop.

And apparently the Obama administration is not only aware that there will be weeks of backlash, they are counting on it: 

The signs are everywhere this morning that the skirmishing over the Bowe Bergdahl prisoner swap is set to escalate into a protracted political battle that could go on for weeks or months. And the White House is placing its bet on Da Crazy. 

That is to say, White House officials are bracing for months of assaults on Obama’s handling of the swap, but they believe the Conservative Entertainment Complex will veer into over the top attacks that will alienate the broader public, which won’t see the basics of the situation in such lurid terms.

And if Palin's Facebook rant is any indication then over the top they are determined to go.

For the President's part he is standing firm:

'I make absolutely no apologies for making sure we get back a young man to his parents,' he said in Brussels during a joint press conference with British Prime Minister David Cameron, 'and that the American people understand that this is somebody’s child and that we don’t condition whether or not we make the effort to try to get them back.' 

'We had a prisoner of war whose health had deteriorated, and we were deeply concerned about [him],' Obama told reporters. 'And we saw an opportunity and we seized it. And I make no apologies for that.' 

So the conservatives can rant and rave until their are too hoarse to shout. But in the end the American people will realize that he did the right thing, the honorable thing, and the thing we would expect ANY Commander-in-Chief to do.

Oh, and before I forget, fuck Sarah Palin!
