(24,899 posts)Dale Hansen's commentary is brilliant! It's also expressed in a forum much of whose audience absolutely needs to hear these truths. Thanks for posting this, HAB911.
By the way, the clip above cuts off before the end. There's a little bit more to his commentary:

(10,545 posts)I figured that, still somewhat of a shock to me how in your face that was. But I don't know anything about the guy.

(2,404 posts)Did you catch the dig about how his foot hurt too but he served in Vietnam anyway?
HAB911
(10,347 posts)flat feet that hurt all the time but did 3 in the Army anyway
GallopingGhost
(2,404 posts)Flat feet here too; they hurt.
That's what makes it so infuriating that Comrade Bonespur has the gall to criticize people who have served. He doesn't know shit about any of it.

(10,538 posts)pro war and talk tough. It is like they are trying to compensate for their own cowardice by acting all Rambo like in their personal opinions.
You generally don't see this in people who actually served, they have nothing to prove!
HAB911
(10,347 posts)it's why he surrounds himself with Generals and wraps himself in the flag
overcompensation for perceived failings

(753 posts)I remember some of his previous videos where he stood up against racism and for LBGTQ rights.
Dave Starsky
(5,914 posts)Has an encyclopedic knowledge that shows in his work. His commentaries are always at a higher level than "_____ needs to learn how execute in the red zone". He is also the only TV guy I've seen who always pronounces the names of Texas towns correctly, even dinky ones (like Mexia and Waxahatchie).

(1,980 posts)I want to call it a righteous rant but its not a rant. Its an unbelievably clear and cogent argument that manages to cut Trump deeply in such an effective manner while standing up for what's right.
SunSeeker
(57,885 posts)Love how he calls out the protest-hating self-proclaimed patriots as hypocrites.

(9,974 posts)And it's nice to see that people outside of DFW are getting to see how fortunate we in the metroplex are to have him on our airwaves.
If you can find it, I suggest you all look for the one he made the night after the Dallas officers were murdered.

(22,976 posts)I know, I'm stereotyping, but his words seem to carry more weight, as he looks very "middle-America," the kind of dude who usually votes the GOP ticket come election time. I just googled his name and found: "..[He] has been politically liberal his entire adult life and his views have often clashed with the mostly-conservative Dallas fan base..."
Great clip, HAB911. Thank you!
