And not only Duck Dynasty, but how come no one ragged on the Boston Red Sox last year for sporting similar beards?

Oh, I know… because THEY won the WORLD SERIES!!! How American of them, to look like a bunch of yahoos while winning the All-American sport.

Seems all Stewart had to do is read the comment section of TPM yesterday. Many on these threads beat him to the punch by making that very same observation.

The media’s also reporting that the soldiers GOP political ops presented for negative quotes/soundbites to the NYT and cable media yesterday did so in violation of signed non-disclosure/secrecy oaths.

Well, yeah, and I’m glad they did make those comments. Mr Kilmeade is an obvious idiot who should get ripped a new one.

John McCain made a propaganda film for the Viet Cong while he was a POW. Man, when fox news finds out about that, they’ll really
rip him a new a-hole!

"When two U.S. Army enlisted men were captured by the Viet Cong in 1963, they were plunged into an ordeal that would prove to be a relentless trial of body and spirit by torture. Once they were finally freed, however, their trials began all over again, when their statements critical of the U. S. Vietnam policy landed them in a military court facing a capital offense for violating the military Code of Conduct by “aiding the enemy.”

But, if your name is John McCain and your father and grandfather were famous admirals, violating the Code of Conduct by “aiding the enemy” translates into fodder for a political career, book deals, and adulation bordering on sainthood."

Wicked men on the far right make up the American Taliban, as orthodox religious or conservative political zealots, to go with the money scoundrels.

I think where he dismissed Sean Hannity as merely an asshole was one of the most gratifying lines I’ve read in print all year.

That is exactly how we need to be treating these people. Merely. Assholes. Not worth listening to.

You know who else released prisoners to the enemy? That’s right - Hitler!

Stewart totally nails it.

As regards the three “patriots” who served with Bergdahl and are now “breaking their silence” to “tell the truth,” these fuckups (they flunked their ORI before deploying, qualifying them as morons) are the kind of soldiers I knew in Vietnam: stupid and ignorant, doing things that made the people there hate us and the job more difficult. And it was always the case that the biggest fuckups came home and turned themselves into the biggest Patriots defending the war. That’s these “heroes.”

You realize he isn’t performing that skit for you in real-time, right? It was recorded yesterday, and written anywhere from 24 to zero hours before that.

I’m very confused by this story. I listened yesterday as a CNN anchor dramatically announced “A bombshell has dropped in the Bowe Bergdahl story today. He apparently deserted his post voluntarily. More after the break.” Also, why did the Obama administration treat this like he was going to get patted on the back for this?

I thought it was pretty well established 5 years ago that Bergdahl had walked off the base and had been unhappy in the military.

That’s why the Pentagon promoted him twice during his captivity? Because it was “pretty well established 5 years ago that Bergdahl had walked off the base and had been unhappy in the military”?

Maybe there actually is a difference between innuendo and fact.

That’s the thing, we don’t know that. Plus, I have to question whether so much effort would’ve been put into finding him (initially, before it was known he’d been captured) if it was such common knowledge that he walked away. We just don’t know. We don’t know that he wasn’t suffering from some sort of mental breakdown. I think we should all hold off judgement until the investigation is complete. We owe our soldiers at least that much.

The self-mocking of Fox is always amusing. The entire time that idiot was going on about the fathers facial hair I was LMAO about the ‘duck dynasty’ heroes these clown worship. Oops they forgot about those clowns.
