Blake Hounshell, an editor at Politico Magazine, downplayed Obama's decision to release five Taliban leaders in exchange for Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl based on the fact that the five terrorists are not "ninjas." On his verified Twitter feed Hounshell wrote, "What's the argument that these five Taliban guys are so dangerous? Are they ninjas? Do they have superpowers?"

Politico's Glenn Thrush, who covers the White House for the left-wing outlet, seems to believe that everything Obama does is okay because President Bush invaded Iraq. Tuesday morning, from his Twitter account, Thrush fired off this non sequitur:
Wonder what endangered homeland more: prisoner swap or invading Muslim country based on fake intel resulting in tens of thousands of deaths?

Thrush's tweet resulted in all kinds of responses, most of them critical. One of the first said that Thrush had "jumped the shark."
@woodhouseb @GlennThrush the leftist hysteria has now "jumped the shark".

When I challenged Thrush on his use of a nom sequitur, he replied, "I live near Walter Reed. I see the Non Sequiturs in wheelchairs at my mall".
I live near Walter Reed. I see the Non Sequiturs in wheelchairs at my mall MT NolteNC: see someone's been shopping at Non Sequiturs R' Us.”

How many more Americans and Afghans will the newly-freed Taliban Dream Team put in wheelchairs, or worse?

"I live near Walter Reed. I see the Non Sequiturs in wheelchairs at my mall".
And how many more wheelchairs have there been since your god, obama, took office, eh Glenn?
Not to mention the fact that, under Bush, myriads of terrorists were killed by American troops in Iraq, thus keeping us safer.
These people are mentally ill. I swear. They're mentally ill.

Bill Bennett had a discussion with a caller about this. Bennett cited St. Augustine's writings regarding invincible ignorance and how it applies to today's media. The media is so invested in the cause, they are unable to honestly deal with Obama's shortcomings.
