He's probably the guy who told Caleb Campbell to enter the draft, too.

Just because this email isn't true now doesn't mean it won't become true when it's been passed around a little more.

Stupid libs.

Yes...I'm sure that's it. A Utah National Guardsman is secretly in thrall to Obama. That's the ticket. You know how the black guy is always working behind the scenes to undermine American Values.

If I had a good attack campaign going against Obama I sure as hell wouldn't try to give Clinton credit for the fine work, I'd be proud of my team.

It didn't mention any affiliation or motivation in the article. Maybe he is a Republican. I don't know.

You are obviously the most insightful genius here, because you do know. Genius or nor, you're still a fukkin asshole

If Obama wins, Captain Porter can kiss Tiffany goodbye and head to his new assignment: a one-man weather station in Anarctica for the next four to eight years.

My point was, no matter who wins, this guys is going to get his ass handed to him on a platter for ridiculing the military. If he really sent that e-mail, his ass is crispy toast.

Maybe he is a Republican. I don't know.

I'd say the chances are pretty good.

What is really hilarious is that he can't even be honest once caught, claiming that "This e-mail was meant only for my family. "

Yeah Soldiers always end their letters with "In service,"

Why don't you just man up and admit you screwed up, nancy?

Politicalization of the military is a sign of the end my friends.

Those that willfully spread political propaganda using the credibility of our armed forces to hide behind endanger the Republic.

Furthermore, those that *react* to it by bashing the military do no good either.

This is frightening shiat. It should concern any American.

Never, ever let the Right Wing use and abuse the military for partisan gains -- unless you want to see the whole Republic digress into chaos.

 
WoodyHayes [TotalFark] 2008-07-27 05:32:22 PM  
FTFA: Army Times sent an e-mail to Porter, a Utah Army National Guard member assigned to the 142nd Military Intelligence Battalion, asking if he could verify that he wrote the controversial e-mail and requesting an interview.

Ah, a pogue occifer in the Nasty Girls.

Sometimes political shiat is filed under the not news section, and unwitting but mildly right of center farkers that usually don't immediately file into the politics tab get smacked around pretty good by being mildly right of center. . .never to return to the politics tab again.

Do you have a twitch? Your anger management issues must really be getting to you.

Anyway, even if what you're saying is true, it's an article related to Obama -- how many of those AREN'T under the Politics tab? Weak excuses.

Capt Porter....

I really hope you get a Board of Inquiry for your inappropriate conduct. But, sadly, you are likely only going to get a nice slap on the back saying "attaboy" from your superiors because you did something they wanted to do themselves.

This is what will likely happen. I willing to bet that nothing happens to him. I mean, if he used an Army computer, he's just violated the Hatch Act.

But nothing will happen.

"I am writing this to ask that you delete my e-mail and not forward it, after checking my sources some of the information that was put out in my e-mail was wrong.

So you check your sources after you send out the information? Maybe, just maybe, Jonathan Alter has a point. Maybe we need the MSM after all.

This e-mail was meant only for my family. Oh, because if you are going to lie - lie to your family.

Please respect my wishes and delete the e-mail and if there are any blogs you have my e-mail portrayed on I would ask if you would take it down too. Welcome to the Internet age, Captain. If you're lucky emailing out lies and bullshiat might not be labeled "Pulling a Captain Porter". Fark your wishes.

When contacted, Tiffany Porter who identified herself as his wife, said: "There were discrepancies in the e-mail, but I am not at liberty to say more."

Not at liberty? Where the hell do you live, Army Wife, the Lifetime channel? Try to at least help your husband out by pointing out what parts of the email were true. If indeed there were any at all.

THIS.

If he were a joe instead of an "occifer" (nice one, WoodyHayes) I can almost guarantee he'd be in Leavenworth right now.

It resonates with the dumb-ass demographic who need it to justify their hysteria.

I wonder if this had anything to do with our renowned redhead aficionado's feeling that Obama is anti-military.

moothemagiccow 2008-07-27 07:04:52 PM  
The e-mail, signed by Capt. Jeffrey S. Porter at Bagram Airbase, characterized Obama's July 19 visit with soldiers there as contrary to the positive portrayals of the mainstream press.

"As the soldiers where (sic) lined up to shake his hand he blew them off and didn't say a word as he went into the conference room to meet the general," the e-mail said.


I'm a little bit surprised the guy has figured out e-mail.

This guy better hope there's no actual Marines around his duty station. He might just find himself taking a major beating for even trying to pass himself off as a Marine. (The politics and the rest of the lies would just be a side issue of no real import to a group of Marines who see someone drag the Marine "Brand" through the mud through this type of horseshiat.) Don't ever try and pass yourself off as a Marine, unless you are one, they don't take kindly to that sort of thing and you never know who you might be spouting off to. (My brother was a Marine and although he didn't look like it, he could still tear the average guy a new ahole some 30 years after his Vietnam days.)
