Oh, don't play cute. There have been many, including some by leaders of the TP movement calling him n*****!
1st off there is no leader of the tea party movement
2nd of all I've never heard anyone call him that word
So if there has been so many please provide them
Also so you are a registered democrat right? That means that you are a member of the kkk since Byrd was a member. That means that you are as guilty of holding these signs
So by your standard you are those in the pics above because 1 speaks for all
Liberal/Democrat, either way it is insulting to those who have not only served but also lost their lives.
It is foolish to pass off an assumption as fact without statistics to back it up, just like the poster that claimed liberals do not join the military.
The traditional Republican lock on the military vote, coveted but rarely captured by Democrats, shows signs of softening in the run up to this year’s presidential race, experts say
I am not saying no one is a democrat and in the military but liberals and democrats are not the same. I dont see many liberals anti war people in the military. Lets be honest if there is a liberal that is not anti all war they are a very rare.

I knew you would come back with this 2004 article. If you had read the entire article you would see that this was a independent study. If you've read the entire article instead of the title you would see that the study was taken by Military Times, an online site used primarily by officers or those who see longer stints in the military.
But determining the political leanings of the nation’s military has traditionally been difficult. The military is prickly about giving pollsters and academics unfettered access to its troops. A poll conducted late last year by the Military Times found that 57 percent of those surveyed consider themselves Republican, while 13 percent identified with the Democrats. Among the officer corps the numbers were different. Nearly 66 percent of officers considered themselves Republican compared with 9 percent Democratic. Nearly 30 percent of those surveyed by the Military Times declined to answer the questions or said they were independent.
The military does not list the political leanings left or right of those who serve. So again, these are assumptions made. I found another article from 2004 which again state the difficulty in assessing a clear picture of the make-up of the military.
And as I've stated before, to state that only Republican's join the military is an insult to those Democrat/Liberals that have also served and lost their lives. I'm just really surprised that your trying to explain away or excuse that remark.
