He was booed by 4 people for the question he asked.


Sorry, doesn't fit the narrative.

It essentially means the same thing whether they boo the soldier or his question.


"I'm gay" Booo!

versus

"Would you fire me for being gay" Booo!


The two mean essentially the same thing.

This crap again!

"There is no consensus among scientists about the exact reasons that an individual develops a heterosexual, bisexual, gay or lesbian orientation. Although much research has examined the possible genetic, hormonal, developmental, social, and cultural influences on sexual orientation, no findings have emerged that permit scientists to conclude that sexual orientation is determined by any particular factor or factors."

And neither happened.

Note the booing doesn't occur until after the question is asked and long after he identifies himself as a gay soldier.

And you're saying they might have booed because they were against firing gay soldiers? That's some astounding spin there.

I'll repeat myself. If they booed him because he asked if Republicans want to fire gay soldiers, that's not any better than booing a gay soldier.



You claim to not only know the reason they booed but also the reason they waited to boo.

Are you, Jean Dixon?

This is true, but the left will grasp any lie thay can, and run with it, they have nothing else...
Megan played the tape and it clearly shows no one booed the soldier.
obama knows the truth, but chose to use the lie in a speech.

So explain yourself. You're saying that asking whether Republicans would fire gay soldiers is an appropriate thing to boo at?


The booing is merely a symptom. The truly despicable thing is the desire to fire all our gay soldiers, or even have them prosecuted in military court.

I think we can agree on this. If gays want to serve this Republican has no problem with that.

On another note what the hell was up with the soldier throwing his bulging bicep at the audience. He deserved a boo just for that.
