Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsAshley Banfield is ripping that Walsh asshole a new one over Tammy Duckworth.
She is chewing him up and spitting him out.
MSNBC or CURRENT ought to hire her--she's on fire!
Edit--she's subbing on CNN.

(131,292 posts)I was just getting ready for tomorrow's July 4th celebrations when I heard Rep. Joe Walsh's latest smears and had to let you know. Tammy Duckworth needs our support!

He's said many disgraceful things about Tammy, her service and Veterans in the past, but this is beyond the pale - on the eve of the 4th of July, Joe Walsh wants Vets to shut up about their service.
You can read the transcript of Walsh's comments and watch a video at ThinkProgress here.
Please join us in helping Tammy Duckworth fight back by making a contribution to her campaign!

(1,113 posts)If I remember correctly, Tammy ran against another guy before she went to the VA. And the VFW AND the Disable Vets both "supported" Tammy's opponent. Maybe it's just a repub thing. Tap tap tap....

(23,272 posts)with who Hyde told them to vote for. It was despicable if you ask me.
I know Hyde was a rainmaker and a Rethug power player, and Roskam was an NRA darling, but their shameful endorsement of that guy over one of their own was pretty low.

(33,688 posts)You do not rip a decorated, double-amputee vet for not being a hero and get away with it.
The Lieutenant Colonel's decorations:
Purple Heart
Meritorious Service Medal
Air Medal
Army Commendation Medal with Oak Leaf Cluster
Army Reserve Components Achievement Medal with four Oak Leaf Clusters
Combat Action Badge
Senior Army Aviator Badge.
I strongly suggest that Walsh STFU, and pronto.

(53,339 posts)Especially in calling Walsh on his false claims about Duckworth that her service "is all she talks about," that she calls herself a hero, and that citing her accomplishnments is tantamount to calling herself a hero.
Banfield would not allow him simply to use the segment to deliver a self-serving monologue. Good for her!

(135,425 posts)She is gutsy, strong, smart....and she kicked that idiot's ass from here till the middle of next week! She didn't just challenge his comments, she went to the trouble of refuting them--she had way more material than he did. And she turned his condescending "Aaaaasshhhley, Asssshhhhhhley, Assssssshhhhhley" right back on him--made him look like a buffoon and a shithead.
I'll bet he is still seeing stars!

He's toast and it's all over for him and any political career he might have ever had.
