Eric Nelson, valor thief blames “machinations by political opponents”
Last year we wrote about Eric Nelson, a member of the Aurora, Colorado school board who pretended to be an Air Force officer during his campaign for office. His actual service in the Air Force was April – June 1998…he spent more time at MEPS than he spent on active duty.
In addition to his false military claims were demonstrably false academic claims.
You might be surprised to learn that, not only is he still in that office, he’s now planning to run for reelection. The Aurora Sentinel interviews him;
During an interview with The Aurora Sentinel this week about a re-election campaign for the November APS school board race, Nelson said the controversy surrounding his resume was a result of machinations by political opponents. Nelson was running for the Democratic nomination in House District 42 last year when revelations about his falsified resume came to light.
“My information has been public record. This was an attack, a political smearing by political opponents,” Nelson said. “The (APS) board members always knew what my background was.”
I guess his political opponents dressed him up in that costume above, took his picture and posted it on his campaign website. Crafty bunch that they are.
The APS board had directed Munn to remove Nelson’s information from the website on Aug. 2 during a school board meeting. After Nelson’s embellished resume came to light, he refused repeated calls from the board last year for him to resign. As a result of his refusal to step down, the board stripped Nelson of his position as Secretary of the Board and his ability to pay for expenses related to his work on the board with a district credit card. It also officially censured him on Aug. 16, with only Board Director Barbara Yamrick voting with Nelson against the move.
School board officials have pointed out that they cannot remove Nelson from the APS board because he’s an elected official. Only voters can remove Nelson, and no recall campaign was ever begun.
Yeah, well, I have no faith in the voters to remove him, but I guess we’ll see.

Air Force basis must really be tough!
That’s basic not basis.
It surely is not “Anabasis”.
When I was there, which wasn’t too long after this fellow, it was not that hard. The only way to not get through was to be a colossal frick-up or claim suicide. Being a screw up just resulted in endless recycles back in training. Claiming suicidal thoughts/actions was a quick ticket to the medical squadron for outprocessing.
I gave my brother a Girlscout handbook before he left for AF basic, told him it was a prep guide.. he didn’t see the humor..
Ha! Now that’s funny. It would prepare you for the very real eventuality that the A/C might go out in your tent or the golf course closed on your day off.
I was looking at this mope’s 214 and the 319th sounded familiar. That’s the medical holding squadron.
Interesting that he spent two months at Lackland when the basic training was only 6.5 weeks. The TI’s were right, the quickest way out is to graduate.
If you know anything about Aurora CO, you can bet he will be reelected.. he seems like a perfect rep for that part of town… Kinda like Marion Berry for DC.. very representative of the neighborhood..
So he’s just representing his constituents? Thanks, like DC and Baltimore, I’ll stay far away from Aurora, CO too.
Yep.. out here it’s known as Saudi Aurora… a few good areas to it, but mostly not so much…
ERIC NELSON and MICHAEL SLEEPER are cut from the same cloth… a shit-stained piece of STOLEN VALOR burlap.
Twins separated at birth, perhaps….
yeah, this guy is built for modern politics
His being outed is probably the result of a right wing conspiracy. Yeah, yeah, that’s it.
I don’t know, I’d bet Russia had something to do with it too.
“DA MAN” is keepin’ him DOWN!
Outed? He is gay to boot? Now he is sure to get re-elected
Even with that short time in the Air Force he probably did earn all of those ribbons
You ain’t lyin’ man I have seen some junior airman with some very impressive looking fruit salad.
Ummmm, no. Just the badge alone takes seven years AFTER qualifying in his AFSC (MOS for you Army/Marine types). And he’s certainly no Major. He just picked out some pretty ribbons and threw them on his uniform, out of order, no less. Air Medal? Defense Superior Service Medal? Air Force Commendation Medal? I think not. And those aren’t the only things wrong with that uniform.
It’s all someone else’s fault. – H. Wideload Clinton
This is another example of how liberals and their Democrat party have changed our culture for the worse: If the rules don’t work for you then the rules don’t apply to you, so just ignore them and what is anyone going to do about it, especially if you’re a racial minority? They claim no harm done but it’s actually the criminalizing of politics. Isn’t that precisely what criminals do, ignore the rules of society when they don’t work in their favor?
Unless he is brought to bear, he will continue with this flumadiddle. Such a fusspot! I’ll wait for his fit of tarassis.
I wonder how many times in the future we’ll see this candyassed pisspot of a pus-nuts no-load Sparkle Pony of a toad turd?
I earned the privilege to wear the USAF blues back in 1974-1980,along with many others who made the grade, BUTT this punk ass pickle turd pric of a democrap blueberry stain never spent 1 minute on a flight line, how dare he claim something he never EARNED nor came close to earning……nice hallowienie costume, ya’ puss filled maggot
Your political opponents caused you to lie about your military service, Eric Nelson? Is that really what you are claiming, Eric Nelson?
That is just a seriously stupid defense, Eric Nelson. You lied. You got caught. That is all there is to it.
Now, all we ask is that you quit lying about your military service, Eric Nelson. I don’t care if you are reelected or not. I don’t care what party you represent, where you live, what political office you hold or those you might aspire to hold in the future. Just quit lying about your military service.
See, this isn’t particularly difficult. Just quit lying. Oh, and be forewarned that should you move into my neck of the woods, you will most certainly make your lying lies repeated multiple times to multiple audiences my business and I will make certain that voters will know about your history should you decide to run for public office here.
And by the way – your skin color is not an issue for most of us – you made a decision to lie. Your skin tone is neither an excuse for lying nor a valid reason for any of us to care a whit more about your lies than any other lying POS out there lying about their military service. Accept your responsibility for being a liar and get on with your life.
…Them machinations will do it every doggoned time.
Wow…they stuffed him into that uniform, made him stand still long enough to take the picture. Had him give that smug look. They even put his ribbons on fucked up so his poserism would be obvious to all concerned.
Such a Machiavellian scheme for a lowly school board.
A lot of his latest “degrees” besides being from unaccredited institutions are in the form of studies in Divinity and Theology.
I guess he missed the classes that covered the Commandment dealing with not lying.
Any bets on whether he runs unopposed.
He shoulda just spent 39.95 for an an online ordination and Doctor of Divinity, like I did.
IDC
I think he did.
