Navy SEALs respond to Media Matters

Hitler's Mustache                Media Matters staffer says Obama-critical SEALs ‘don’t have guts’ Navy SEAL responds Media Matters senior fellow Eric Boehlert said on Thursday that a group of former Navy SEALS “don’t have guts” after the special forces operators launched a media campaign condemning the Obama administration’s national security leaks. Boehlert accusing Navy SEALs of being gutless has inflamed conservatives online, who view Boehlert as the face of liberal smears emanating from Media Matters for America.   “Boehlert is such a straight up Obama boot licker that he actually smears former Navy SEALs who don’t like the fact that President Obama’s administration is leaking sensitive information that could put current SEALs in danger,” reads a reaction post on The Right Sphere, a conservative blog. With everybody not on their side a potential liar, Media Matters is a sort of ACLU of the media monitoring game. Sonny Bunch, managing editor for the Washington Free Beacon, wrote on Twitter, ”Dear God: All I ask before I die is that you let me witness Eric Boehlert call a Navy SEAL a coward to his face.”   There is some irony in Boehlert accusing a political group of hiding its affinity for, or opposition to, a particular candidate.   Media Matters, as a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization, is forbidden from explicitly endorsing or opposing a candidate for elected office. But as TheDC has previously reported, the group has steadily expanded its support of Obama as he mounts up his 2012 re-election campaign.  Read more: I've not gone looking for it, but lately I'm struck by how many conservative  ripostes  appear on just about any lefty posting, or newspaper article with commenting allowed.  Eric Davidson's Twitter response is a prime example.  It's getting harder for these mofos to lie, and I think much of that is due to Obama.  He's so egregious a  liar that a lot of people who were prone to accept as gospel any "official" voice are now willing to accept that media  and democrats regularly  lie from out their asses.
