Should The Repugs Denounce BadaidGate

[rsmith6621]

I think if the party claims that the Badaid farce is not an activity they sponsored they should be called on to denounce that blatantly gross smear attempt......DO YOU JOIN ME IN THIS CALL???????


Ending the distrubution does not go far enough.......


GOP Chairman Ed Gillespie spoke to Blackwell and they agreed that he would not distribute the bandages Tuesday night," said Republican spokesman Jim Dyke. "This was not a party activity, but he was acting as an individual."

4. I agree, poor humor...

6. Everyone in this country should

Every sentient man, woman and child should denounce this heartless cowardly action. Simply saying they will stop after distributing all that they could (the hall looked pretty blanketed to my eyes) is cowardly. Demeaning the injuries and therefore service of veterans is cowardly.

The entire episode is a disgrace. We should all be ashamed to live in a country where that was not immediately and unequivocably denounced as disrespectful and shameful----to create them, to distribute them or to wear them.

7. Should they, yes.

Will they, of course not.

8. I can *NOT* fucking believe Clinton was passing them things out

9. The fact that it was done at all shows their "thinking" and "true spirit"

they are the lowest of the low. Had the Dems done this they would have sent fliers to all the military condeming the Dems. Hmmmm....that's an idea!
