‘She’s a Liar’ Donna Brazile Tears Into Palin for Saying Obama Disrespects Veterans

[Stellar]

CNN political commentator Donna Brazile lit into Sarah Palin on Wednesday, taking the former Alaska governor to task for trying to pin her son’s domestic violence arrest on President Barack Obama.

“You have known me for a long time, so I’m just gonna say it: she’s a liar,” Brazile told host Anderson Cooper. “That’s a damn lie.”

Brazile noted that the Republican-controlled House cut more than $1.4 billion in funding that Obama had intended to be used for veterans’ services.

“I care for all veterans — I am the daughter of a veteran,” she continued. “And to go out there and to insinuate that the president of the United States is trying to hurt veterans when in fact he is trying to put more resources so that we can give our young and old veterans the care we need, that’s just a damn lie. You can say Donna Brazile said it. I approve this message.”

Police in Wasila, Alaska arrested Track Palin on Monday — a day before his mother publicly endorsed Donald Trump — and charged him with assault and possession of a firearm while intoxicated. His girlfriend accused the younger Palin of punching her in the head.

The former vice-presidential candidate responded to the arrest on Wednesday by saying that her son came back from his military service “hardened,” and was one of many service members “wondering” if they were even respected.

Brazile’s fellow contributor Jeffrey Lord — a Trump supporter — argued that Palin was actually trying to bring to light the issues plaguing the Veterans’ Administration Bureau.

“Of course [Track Palin] should be held responsible for his own personal behavior,” Lord argued. “But we have been told time and time and time again that there is a serious problem within the VA treating veterans. And I think that’s the point she’s trying to make.”

“Drink the water, Jeff” Brazile replied. “Drink the water.”

1. Then tell the fucking republicans to stop cutting the VA funding.

It's not Obama who sent them all to Iraq for a big fucking pile of money for the MIC and all their friends. They put the cost in credit, didn't anticipate the injuries they would have, and even after it became clear the republicans CUT the god damned funding for VA.
This whole thing pisses me off, I'm so glad my World War II veteran father is not alive to see this.

2. pretty sure that obama did not start the iraq war that trick/truck/trank whatever, supposedly

spent a year in (and supposedly reported to iraq in sept 2008, before obama was even elected, much less sworn in) and wasn't he in the military because he was given a choice of going to jail on drug charges or joining the military? did he actually serve a full hitch?
