Booing an active-duty soldier from the darkened, anonymous audience at a Fox News debate. Wow, that's a courageous way of showing your patriotism.

I'd love to see one of those jacka**ses meet Stephen Hill in person. Somehow I think they wouldn't be booing him then.

Republicans also hate the VA. Soldiers are tools for their use, not heroes despite the gingoism.

Wait, not even a veteran, an active duty guy? Shit, they're both terrible, but that guy may have to go back to the sandbox and get shot at. Fucking hell.

Not a fan of dropping f bombs in a public forum

but that was the most fucked up thing I've ever seen

Possibly the most un patriotic thing I've ever seen or heard at an American presidential debate. Of course the wingers will all say that it was just one or two guys....just like those who cheered death to the uninsured and executions.

Shameful.

Just had a look at redstate. It seems as if they are going to push the "no true Scotsman" defence on this. Amusing as it's from the same crowd who equated code pink & moveon.org with the entire left wing of US politics over the last 10 years.

"Caught in a moment?" Is that seriously Perry's excuse. This is a man who volunteered to serve his country and he happens to be gay and the assholes in the audience booed him because of being gay and Perry can only say that they were "caught in a moment." Fine by me Rick but don't act like your side is somehow more patriotic than the left because that's crap and always has been.
