Martin Bashir Exposes Sarah Palin And GOP Exploiting Military Veterans (VIDEO)

http://egbertowillies.com/2013/10/14/exploiting-military-veterans/

The trite hypocrisy and shear evil of the actions of the Tea Party faction of the GOP is more dangerous than many believe. It will incite violence. This weekend it wrapped itself in the military veil. The world saw Sarah Palin and the GOP exploiting military veterans. They did so as they attempted to project blame for the shutdown on President Obama.

Suffice it to say Americans are not buying it. Americans love their veterans and understand that a shutdown hurts them both economically and emotionally. Exploiting military veterans will backfire as others take notice and it brings more scrutiny.

MSNBC Martin Bashir among many saw right through the charade.

Martin Bashir: We bring you an act of such brazing dishonest and speciousness that its hard to know where to begin.

adjective: disingenuous = not candid or sincere, typically by pretending that one knows less about something than one really does.

synonyms: insincere, dishonest, untruthful, false, deceitful, duplicitous, lying, mendacious, hypocritical

I like mendacious best: given to or characterized by lying, deception, falsehood, and divergence from the truth
