Biggest boos in GOP debate reserved for gay soldier in Iraq

[MannyIsGod]

My mistake, of course it's real for you. I forgot that outrage is only fake when it's the other side that's outraged.

You should point to specifics where I complain about legit outrage being fake?

Do you think what happened is OK?

[MannyIsGod]

No it was fake imo, just as this "outrage" is.

LOL at you changing what Hoffa said.

You're not outraged at people booing a solider serving simply because he's gay and you're not outraged at a politician lying to you like you're an idiot?

[Wild Cobra]

Is there a different clip than that youtube in post #10?

I hear no booing in it.

[ChumpDumper]

No it was fake imo, just as this "outrage" is.

LOL at you changing what Hoffa said.

"Everybody here has a vote. If we go back and we keep the eye on the prize, let's take these son of a es [sic] out and give America back to America where we belong."

What do you think he said?

It was a turrble speech but if he was advocating actual violence in that quote, I didn't see it.

With speakers or headphones?

You realize, I'm sure, that once you plug the headphones into your computer you are supposed to then place them in or on your ears. Right?

Another thing is we don't know if those who were booing were booing the policy or the soldier. You can still have great respect for gay servicemen and women if you support DADT.

That may have been why none of the candidates said anything. They may have just assumed the policy was the issue.

[EVAY]

To clarify:

After the normal service, our pastor asked us to stick around - that he had something to say beyond the day's sermon.

He started by saying, "The debt crisis is not the Democrat's fault" - to which there was a quiet rustling, as it IS a largely Republican congregation.

Then he said, "The debt crisis in not the Republican's fault". (Not so much rustling)

"The debt crisis can be laid right at the foot of the cross."

He then explained that the church had failed society to such an extent - in educating, in feeding the poor, in providing guidance and good works that we are, essentially, reaping what we have sown. He then went on to illustrate his point by talking about Westboro Baptist Church, and explaining that we, obviously, should not only not support that kind of distortion of Christianity, but that we ought to stand between haters and sexuals, and say, "you only get to them if you go through me". "Hate the sin, love the sinner", etc... to which there was applause.

Hope that explains the context.

What a neat thing for a pastor to do. I applaud his courage...and I think he is right.

Thanks for sharing. It gives me hope in some church somewhere.

WTF? No, you can't?

Can you explain that logic?

It's not clear if the maybe 5 people who did it were booing him personally for being gay or booing the repeal of DADT. If it was the former then they are idiots, if it was the latter then they are just wrong. In either case, no I'm not outraged and I don't believe you are truly outraged either.

and you're not outraged at a politician lying to you like you're an idiot?

Why are you bringing Obama into this?

[MannyIsGod]

Why don't you believe I'm outraged? I just told you I was outraged. You think I'm lying?

[MannyIsGod]

If you thought it was ed up sounds like you were outraged too.

[MannyIsGod]

Wait, I mean I guess you were fake outraged.

I think now you have accurately posted what he said. I never said I thought he was advocating actual violence. I don't even think it was a terrible speech. I guess my larger point is that I think it is ridiculous that we now have both sides trying to make mountains out of molehills. There is nothing wrong with what Hoffa said, there is nothing wrong with Palin "targeting" certain democrats for defeat. I don't believe the idea that this type of language will lead to otherwise sane people to commiting violence. Or Scott's assertion that somehow because the few people that booed weren't immediately chastised that it may lead to larger consequences. All of it is a non issue to me and I don't believe any of those who claim "outrage" over those things. Yes, the few who booed are assholes but it's nothing more than a few assholes being assholes.

I plugged in my headphones, good ones, but all I heard was devil music.

[SnakeBoy]

Why don't you believe I'm outraged? I just told you I was outraged. You think I'm lying?

Yes

[SnakeBoy]

No it's just ed up for them to boo him. I wasn't outraged though.

[MannyIsGod]

Yes

You're welcome to believe as you wish but you can go yourself for calling me a liar. I don't think highly enough of your opinion to warrant lying to sway it.

[Monostradamus]

Listen carefully.

I hear two voices. One is a clear "no." The other sounds like support of what the soldier says.

Plug some good headphones in, instead of listening through your computer speakers.

I gotta visit the Political Forum more often. This is ing hilarious The gay soldier getting booed by a bunch of ignorant redneck gots couldn't be any more crystal ing clear on any set of speakers.

WC really is an incredible case study into the mind of a dulusional Tea Bagger. He's helped me understand how sad people like him are. Didn't hear booing, lol??? You got to be ing kidding me.

[Spurminator]

Wow, I've seen some pretty pathetic excuses for people booing, but this is the first time I've seen anyone deny outright that there was booing.

A new bar has been set.

Listen carefully. The first voice is ending in an "oooh" sound, not a "uuuh" sound. The second sounds more like an sound of being ecstatic. What about all the cheering and applause when he starts discussing the role of the military, and at the end?

I actually think Newt Gingrich got the "biggest boos in the GOP debate" when he was introduced.

I was watching the debate and I've watched the video. There were a couple of boos but, that loud Son of screamed "Noooooo!" like someone had pour ice water down his back.

It was a sad display but nothing compared to Rick Santorum's pathetic answer.
