It didn’t take long for the BS to fly from the left over the “tiny prison exchange” that “Republicans” are making such a big deal about.
Here’s what a liberal blogger for Mother Jones wrote to get the ball rolling:
Republicans are upset over the release of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. They have several complaints: the president “negotiated with terrorists”; the president broke a law requiring 30-day notice before prisoners are transferred out of Guantanamo; and among a few fringe types, a belief that perhaps Bergdahl was actually a deserter not worth rescuing.
Is there anything to any of this? Probably not. But it’s pretty much impossible to tell for sure. Republicans these days are so hellbent on finding reasons to be outraged over everything President Obama does, there’s no longer any way to tell whether their outrage over any specific incident is real or manufactured. And in this case, it’s probably not worth trying to find out.
Not to worry, the few “fringe types” on Twitter broke it down for him in simple language so even he could understand. Twitchy was there to capture it:

The first lesson was in spelling:
You misspelled “Five Dangerous Gitmo Detainees without notifying Congress” @kdrum

Then a refresher in U.S. law:
Admin broke the law.. Silly us RT @kdrum: Yep, Republicans Are Even Outraged Over the Release of a POW

@kdrum Actually, it sounds like they’re outraged over the Admin breaking the law and releasing 5 terrorists.

@kdrum The fact that you politicize this when it’s so far beyond politics speaks volumes. Laws were broken. It sets a terrible precedent.

And, finally, Terrorism 101:
@DLoesch @kdrum Even if he didn’t desert, little doubt these 5 terrorists will resume attacking. Now also have great incentive to kidnap.

@kdrum I hope you’re just as smug when one of those 5 terrorists kill more Americans. @instapundit

But no matter how hard you try to educate people, a few truths remain: You can’t fix stupid, and conspiracy theories are always in vogue.
Jake Tapper and the entire US military are Republican operatives, according to @kdrum. #ConspiracyTheorist
