I am addressing the topic of this thread. Democrats get their panties in a wad when someone denigrates one of them, but have no problem denigrating others. The completely fake outrage being displayed in this thread is classic liberal hypocrisy in action. Everyone knows Democrats hate the military and everything it stands for, it is certainly no secret. So you can stop pretending to be offended. Nobody is buying into your BS.

He defined a category of "true heroes", then made it clear that she was not in it.

I think she has earned the right to talk about her service. Walsh is a loathsome slime ball.

Ah...let's get our facts straight...

Murtha ( a former Marine) didn't accuse his opponent but instead stated that with regards to the eight Marines who the Marine Corps initially charged with either direct involvement or the cover-up of an alleged massacre of civilians in Hadith;
"There was no firefight, there was no IED (improvised explosive device) that killed these innocent people. Our troops overreacted because of the pressure on them, and they killed innocent civilians in cold blood."
Your argument has about as much in common with the topic as apples and hand grenades.

We should have their backs.

Not sure this man (Walsh) understands how that works.

You guys are being too hard on Walsh. He could not serve in the military because he was too busy NOT paying child support.

Rep. Joe Walsh owes $117,000 in child support, suit says - Chicago Tribune

This guy is a scumbag. Clear and simple. I don't care what party that he is in. Who in the hell would vote for this dude.

Oh wow, I could replace every "Democrat" in your sentence with "Republican" and "liberal" with "Conservative" and it would make sense. I guess you forget about the Democrats that have served. My father, both of my grandfathers and my only two first cousins served in the military. All of them are/were Democrats. The only one that says BS like that is right wingers. Every Democrat knows that simply isn't true and the Democrats in the military know even better. Do you evern know any Democrats? Have you ever had a conversation with on outside of the internet or do you just get your info from RWNJ radio hosts, bloggers and Fox News?

Typical CHICKEN HAWK REPUBLICAN. He talks tough all the time but Walsh is nothing more than an empty suit.
