Officials in Bergdahl’s Town Deluged With Hateful Right Wing Phone Calls

[sheshe2]

NBC News reports that as a result of the massive right wing smear campaign (unfortunately aided by much of the media) against Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, city officials in his hometown are being deluged with vitriolic, hateful phone calls.

This irrational lynch mob mentality is being fueled very deliberately by right wing blogs and media. They’ve found a juicy target and they’re using it to whip their audiences into a blind rage — which isn’t far from their normal state, anyway.

These phone calls are the direct equivalent of what you’ll see in the comment sections of any right wing site on the web today.

1. Yup, Fox News has a PR firm that's coordinating the smear campaign against Bergdahl

2. The freaky brainwashed morons watching Fox are always encouraged to express their hate on

command of their propaganda masters.

Terrorizing a small town into cancelling an event due to fear....who are the real terrorists America should be concerned about? They are all right there on one cable channel for starters.

3. Exactly, Fred.

5. That's why I'm thinking that the cancellation of the homecoming in Hailey, Idaho may

be a good thing, she. It takes away the platform for them to come and spew their hate. I'm wondering if Bowe would even want it?

thank you, she

8. War Destroyed My Father

He was a mess after Iwo Jima - He saw 4 of his friends from childhood die in an instant.

The VA gave him what psych meds were available at the time which did nothing - he drank and died at the age of 49.

These people make me sick.

9. I am so very sorry, otohara. So very sorry for your loss.

There are sick and hateful people out there. I would like to say they are clueless yet they are not. That John McCain would spout his crap when he was a rescued POW, I am close to losing my faith for mankind.

I think the GOP finally died this week.

10. the biggest problem seems to be that the family appear to be liberals

the type that has interest in other cultures and learning .

if the dad had posted shit about saving marriage and other anti gay shit they would be seen as a great family and the complaints would be why it took Obama so long ot do anything.

11. It doesn't surprise me much

The right is going to try to use this as another reason to go after President Obama. Regardless of what happened, he needs to be reunited with his family and over time the military needs to start putting together the pieces of the puzzle.

Last I heard he was still in Germany being treated after being transported from Afghanistan. He was in bad enough shape that he had to have medical support during transport.

12. No surprise at all, david. It would be Shocking if they didn't spew their hate at

an American POW who President Obama is bringing home no matter under what circumstances.
