    Fox News Host Makes Disgusting Comment About Bowe Bergdahl's Father

    The Huffington Post | By Katherine Fung | Posted: 06/03/2014 9:59 pm EDT
    Excerpts:

    "The hosts of "Fox and Friends" went after the family of freed POW Bowe Berghdal on Tuesday.

    The White House announced Bergdahl's release over the weekend after he was held captive for five years in Afghanistan. Fox News has questioned the Obama administration's handling of Bergdahl's release. On Tuesday, host Steve Doocy wondered why President Obama embraced Bergdahl's parents at the White House given reports that Bergdahl had left his post without permission.

    Co-host Brian Kilmeade also criticized Bergdahl's father, Robert Bergdahl, for apparently tweeting to a Taliban spokesperson, “I am still working to free all Guantanamo prisoners. God will repay for the death of every Afghan child, ameen.” The tweet was later deleted.

    Kilmeade continued, “I mean, he says he was growing his beard because his son was in captivity. Well, your son’s out now. So if you really don’t - no longer look like a member of the Taliban, you don’t have to look like a member of the Taliban. Are you out of razors?”

    Bergdahl had grown his beard, the Washington Post said, in order to mark the time that his son had been gone, and in an effort to win sympathy from his son's captors. The Post reported that he spent the last five years learning Pashto, the language of southern Afghanistan, and studying the culture of those holding his son captive."

    .....

    IMO: Is Fox news so very petty that they cannot forgive Sgt. Bergdahl's father for having a beard? That is like grasping at straws in their attempt to defame not only Sgt. Bergdahl, but his family.

    What is the matter with Americans today that the members of the republican party are so steeped in violent anger, and are ready to tear a returning POW to pieces before he even steps foot back in his country?

    This goes far beyond party loyalty..it is seriously treasonous, un-democratic, and unconstitutional behavior. In America you are innocent until proven guilty, and whether the father of the former prisoner is sporting a beard is totally irrelevant unless you want to dream up some wacky motivation for it. Either that or it would then aptly apply to every American that has a beard!

    Fox News is doing their best to keep the political fires burning at the feet of Sgt. Bergdahl, who has not as yet had a chance to defend himself....but ask yourself...is the hoopla surrounding Sgt. Bergdahl fact or fantasy...or somewhere in between?

    Americans pride ourselves on fairness, open discourse and any alleged charges on any citizen being proven in a court of law before politicizing anything concerning a returning POW!! The republicans appear awfully intent on stringing Bergdahl up even before knowing if he is guilty of anything at all.

    But hey: that's the republican party for ya!! Take a time of rejoicing over return of a POW, and replace it with falsehoods, smears, and keep it going to the elections!

    FOX reflected what everyone in America, except the most DESPERATE DEMOCRAT/OBAMA APOLOGISTS were thinking when Bergdahl's traitorous father greeted Bowe's taliban captors in Pashton,and gave thanks to allah, after more than a DOZEN MEN DIED at THEIR HANDS, trying to find/free hos PRO-TALIBAN, DESERTER SON.

    Good luck trying to "make victims"out of the Bergdahl's.

    SICKENING.

    The Bergdahl's did us no favors.

    Taliban Now Inspired to Take More Hostages

    We need to pray even more for our 10,000+ soldiers still over there risking their lives.

    This war is not over. The time to make such a ridiculous deal was not here.

    So let me get this straight. R. Bergdahl is entitled to his comment, and B. Kilmeade is not? I find Bergdahl's comment
    much more disgusting than Kilmeade's, just for the record.

    They always had good reasons to take prisoners, nothing has changed in that respect, and this is not the first time American presidents have dealt with radicals and terrorists, no matter what the "official" policy was supposed to be. Welcome to reality.

    Referring perhaps to Reagan's deal to hold the Iranian hostages until Carter left office or Iran-Contra?

    like the Taliban were not trying to take any prisoners before this .... anyone they could get they would of past and present

    that said, I do worry that some of the other people besides the terrorists may try to kidnap Americans that never would of in the past

    Hearing the Obama apologists for any behavior is just getting old. These people have no shred of intellectual honesty or common sense. They are pure lemmings that will follow their religion of Obama / Liberalism right off the cliff.

    There is no justification for this deal at this time.

    republicans have been crying wolf for so long, people want facts before they jump to conclusions about bad things Republicans say about an American POW that was just released and his family

    I agree totally. The Obama gang is attacking the troops who think that Bergdahl is a traitor as being psychopaths. They imply that Bowe walked off of his post due to a lack of leadership in his platoon as if that is a legitimate reason for joining the Taliban.

    Guys with long beards obviously are connected to religious extremists who want to impose a theocracy.

    Bergdahl and the left's Beloved Taliban, IS the THEOCRACY.

    Keep staking out the "We're on Bergdahl's Side" position; that's a "real winner" for you and yours.

    This guy was a captive for 5 years and the righties are going to put him through another kind of hell here. No shame and no class.

    You know what? Just stop it with the stupidity. I'm damn sick of it. The left does not like the Taliban- AT ALL. I've had it with this kind of BS from people like you.

    Keep taking the "Defend Bergdahl at All Costs" position, as you were ordered to do this morning. It's really working for the left.

    You need to pay more attention to what's happening and what's being said about this situation than just what HuffyPo says..........

    The soldiers - plural - in Bergdahl's unit had said very clearly that Bergdahl had deserted his post, so therefore Bergdahl is NOT a POW, but a deserter and yes! I will believe those soldiers who were THERE and have more credibility than any politician, regardless of what party he/she belongs to.........
