candidates during a GOP debate this last time? DISGRACEFUL!!! He was asking about Don't Ask Don't Tell and said he was gay. And those assholes BOOED him. He was there IN IRAQ, in the very thick of it over there, on active duty, with his life on the line, DEFINITELY in harm's way - fighting THEIR last guy's war, and they had the gall to boo him because he was gay.

I despised them already. But if I were somehow still wavering, that would have pushed me over. And I'll bet a large majority in that audience never served.

SO HATEFUL!!!! Despicable!!! And downright un-American, although they're all doing their level best to rewrite the definition of what "American" is all about.
