The group, Special Operations for America, filed paperwork Monday with the Federal Election Commission. It is headed by retired Navy SEAL Commander Ryan Zinke. During his 23-year career, Zinke spent time in the Navy's elite SEAL Team 6, the same team that killed Osama bin Laden in a commando raid last year.
Zinke said he and other members of the special operations community are outraged that SEAL Team 6 was identified as the commando unit that carried out the raid, saying it put its members and their families at risk. Zinke said he believes the president has politicized his role as commander in chief to win re-election.
"Who was it at risk?" he said. "Was it the president? Or was it the young SEAL with the wife and kid at home? That's the arrogance."

Another noteable thing about this:


Ryan Zinke, now a Republican state senator in Montana​


Also:


Zinke served 23 years as a Navy SEAL, including two tours with the storied Seal Team 6, which conducted last year’s raid on bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan.​


Seeing how Zinke is currently a Republican state senator... I'm kind of doubting that he was a part of Seal Team 6 during the raid just last year.

Think we got another Jesse Ventura on our hands.
 
Re: Retired member of SEAL Team 6 launches anti-Obama PAC

“These guys” do not all think the same. I work with guys from each service’s Spec Ops. We drink beer together, shoot the sh!t and talk politics. Of the ones I know, a couple will actually vote for Obama, a few more are for Romney, and most of them tend to be Libertarian. That is just a small subset, mind you, but it insulting to assume they all think the same.

Dude. That doesnt mean he was with them when they conducted the raid, it means he did 2 tours with Seal Team 6. Or are you going for the concept that he cant be outraged because he personally was not at risk by the revelation?

So how does he know that the people who were actually in the raid didn't want their team to be identified for killing the men hunted by America for more than a decade? He wasn't part of the team that accomplished that feat. Isn't he using his association with the name of team 6, piggybacking on the actual team that killed Osama, for his own political gains, the same way he and the Republicans are accusing Obama of doing?

Because Seal teams are not about "credit". They are about getting the job done. Hes using his association to highlight the abuse of this administration in relasing information for political ends. He knows how they feel because he was one of them and while the political spectrum of how they vote is one thing, actions that jeapordize their missions and families is entirely another. The leaks are reckless and they are being done for political gain. So now, while saying simultaneously that the leaks are not for gain you claim that denouncing them IS? Bizarro world, indeed.

says the republican politician who tells anyone who will listen that he was a member of Seal Team 6
 
Re: Retired member of SEAL Team 6 launches anti-Obama PAC

I don't think Americans will fall for the ol' swift boat nonsense twice.

People spontaneously gathered outside the White House the night they announced Bin Laden was dead. Go ahead, remind America how they felt about the President on that night. Good idea.

Digging up some Seal washout makes good propaganda for Romney? Not.


BTW - "spiking the football" = Fox News talking point. Do you have any original ideas?
 
Re: Retired member of SEAL Team 6 launches anti-Obama PAC

Spiking the football = celebrating a victory for America.

Why do conservatives hate America so much?!

Better a SEAL washout than a community organizer washout.

do you ever make a post without mentioning Fox News???? the comedy is you never mock MSNBC or CNN or ABC news.. all which are shills for Obama..

the issue is Rev Al Obama put out troops at risk by his loose lips, we do these raids all the time and now our methods are well known..
Obama is a vile dirtbag ..most of knew Obama had NOTHING to do with getting Osama and worked against everything as far as enhanced tactics to get the info that got us Osama...who cares about the group of Obamabots that gathered..

Just to point something out quickly, ad homs are not a viable debate tactic. Your post is nothing but ad homs - try again.

No, the point about playing up his connection with Seal Team 6 is to suggest that military men who served under Obama's leadership are now opposing that leadership. Mentioning that detail at all is only about painting a false image in the mind of the reader. The reality is that a Republican politician who served in the military is starting a Super PAC to oppose the president. That he was involved with Seal Time 6 at a time other than the one time that matters (in terms of discussing President Obama) is irrelevant. The average person who sees this will think "Oh, even the guys Obama sent to kill Bin Laden don't like him." And that's not the truth.

It doesn't mean he was with them. It specifically attempts to imply that, however.

I'm having too much with you! Offer nothing? I pointed out that your post was entirely based off ad homs. There's something.

I'm not sure I'm right but, I'm fairly certain I'm more correct than you are.
