Anyone notice that NONE of the GOP candidates thanked the gay army soldier for his service

[Tx4obama]

to our country.

I think that is the first time, that I've seen, that a GOPer didn't take the 'opportunity' to make political points by praising/thanking a soldier!

And to the GOPers in the crowd that boo'ed him: FUCK YA'LL !!!

[bayareamike]

1. Word.

Fuck that crowd. I wonder how many of them have ever lifted a damn finger for this country. The facade of patriotism is disgusting.

[Warren Stupidity]

2. they fucking boo'd him

I am struggling to find any compassion for these people.

[Generic Brad]

6. I'm not struggling at all

They are not fit for polite society and some serious and prolonged public shunning is in order.

[Creideiki]

3. Your welcome, btw.

I'm very grateful for having served, although having to live like a monk while dodging random accusations for 9 years wasn't fun, I've never regretted serving.

[badhair77]

9. absolute hypocrites

[FarLeftFist]

10. The fact that they have this ideal image of what an American should be, look like, and act like

Is VERY NAZI of them. They hate everyone else.....Just like the NAZI's too.

[TheKentuckian]

13. Because they are wicked shitballs. Pretending they aren't or are even remotely correct

on about anything is so foolish and dangerous as being withing shouting distance of as bad.

These people are fucked up beyond all recognition, on their best days and on their very best behavior. That tree is rotten to the core, branch, acorn, leaf, and root. Their only motivations boil down to fear, malevolence, avarice, and falsehood stacked on delusion.

All the bullshit does is lend credibility to a complete toxic waste trainwreck.

[Worship Money]

14. Another example of who these people are

once again. This is another example that shows the facade, that Republicans and fascists only OSTENSIBLY care about the things they claim to hold so dear. Their true commitment is to related but far darker and oppressive/controlling values.

They don't really care about life, they care about controlling women. They don't care about morality, they simply have sex obsessions and guilt issues.

And they do NOT care about soldiers. They care about state power and idealized military triumphalism. This is why injured veterans get booed and spit on by Republican fascists when they stray from party ideology and have the nerve to say something. This is just another unfortunate, if disgusting, example.

[samsingh]

18. aside from being bigots themselves, they're

afraid of the wrath of their stupid followers.

[ellisonz]

19. That's because they hate most Americans. The rabble.
