Lt. Col. Peters is the living embodiment of every insult the right wing has ever thrown at us

[jmondine]

He does not support the troops
He wants us to be defeated
He wants our soldiers to die
He wants the terrorists to win
He is a traitor
He is not with us, he is against us
Mr. Peters, why do you hate America?

1. He's Fox personified -

I think - but I'm probably wrong - that, with this Peters debacle, Fox has finally hit a place where people will see them for what they are.

Yeah, and that pig over there will take flight any minute now...................

2. He is a piece of shit. He's disgusting. I hope he can be stripped of

whatever he cherishes.

[strategery blunder]

3. What did he do to make himself an ass?

The only birther that I'm aware of that received major media attention was some major with a first name of Stefan refusing to deploy because he's a racist douchebag, and the CiC isn't a white man.

What did he say? I don't watch fox, but I'm up for some laughs.

4. It has nothing to do with the birther thing. Different incident entirely.

5. He's calling the young American soldier held by the Taliban a desserter

And saying that the Taliban should kill him to save the US the "trouble" of trying him. He is ignoring the fact that the American command says the soldier is NOT a desserter.

Major asshole who should have any rank he ever held stripped from him and any pension he gets taken away.

[strategery blunder]

9. Sounds lovely.

Because we all know that soldiers just LOVE to be in Taliban custody. :eyes:

OK, yeah he's an ass. I wonder if the UCMJ says anything about falsely and maliciously accusing a soldier with desertion.

11. And, this New York Congressman, Eric Massa,

had a press conference today to call peters out on it.

07/22/09

"WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congressman Eric Massa held a press call to condemn the deeply offensive and unpatriotic statements of Lt. Col Ralph Peters (ret.) and Fox News Host Bill O'Reilly about prisoner of war PFC Bowe Bergdahl."

10. Hwew's his Wiki:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Peters

"...he authored a March 5, 2006 piece in the New York Post entitled "Dude, Where's My Civil War?", in which he wrote: "I'm looking for the civil war that The New York Times declared. And I just can't find it"

later:

".....civil war is closer than it was (...) The leaders squabble, the death squads rule the neighborhoods......."
