Fuck you, Rep. Walsh

[47of74]

Fuck you, Rep. Walsh;

Though he never joined the military himself, Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) disparaged his Democratic opponent’s military service at a town hall on Sunday, saying that she’s not a “true hero.”

Walsh is running against Tammy Duckworth, a double amputee who lost both her legs in Iraq when insurgents hit her helicopter with an RPG in 2004.

The Tea Party freshman opened the Elk Grove town hall by arguing that Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) was reluctant to discuss his own military service in 2008, which made him a “noble hero.” By contrast, “Now I’m running against a woman who, my God, that’s all she talks about,” Walsh said.

WALSH: Understand something about John McCain. His political advisers, day after day, had to take him and almost throw him against a wall and hit him against the head and say, “Senator, you have to let people know you served! You have to talk about what you did!” He didn’t want to do it, wouldn’t do it. Day after day they had to convince him. Finally, he talked a little bit about it, but it was very uncomfortable for him. That’s what’s so noble about our heroes. Now I’m running against a woman who, my God, that’s all she talks about. Our true heroes, it’s the last thing in the world they talk about. That’s why we’re so indebted and in awe of what they’ve done.

1. To show that Walsh's claim is not true, all anyone has to do is point to her issues on her website.

They cover, e.g.,

2. I'm speechless and aghast. Where is Joseph Welch when we need

his eloquence?

"Until this moment, Senator, I think I have never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness. . . . If it were in my power to forgive you for your reckless cruelty I would do so. I like to think I am a gentle man but your forgiveness will have to come from someone other than me. ... You've done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?"

3. for this guy,

no. he clearly does not.

4. Walsh's problem is that he's too stupid to NOT say stuff that all Republicans are thinking.

[Wellstone ruled]

5. Don't forget whom screwed up

this mess,Rahmn the mayor,didn't want Tammy to run,because his repuke buddy was in the race.

[kenfrequed]

7. Yup

Rahm always seemed to like Repuke switches better than actual democrats.

6. But Walsh thinks it's okay to talk about fiscal responsibility & the next generation while he

wouldn't pay child support, and owed back taxes.

Yes, I am aware that the child support issue has been dealt with, but at what terms, no one knows because that has not been released.

I hope the people in his district wake up.

8. Tammy Duckworth is a class act

I've met her, talked to her, watched as she struggled to get around with the help of all sorts of devices. It looked cumbersome and painful, and she didn't make a whimper, kept smiling the whole time, talked mostly politics and about her mom (who is from Thailand).

I've never met Walsh, but that's just as well. I've never been accused of assault and battery, and I don't want it to happen due to a garden slug like him.

[wryter2000]

12. That does it

I've been meaning to give Tammy Duckworth some money. I'll do it right now. This asshole needs to go.

19. Walsh sets new lows for the teabag class

I hope he's voted out in November.

14. What a worthless sack of shit

The people who voted for this subcreature should be thoroughly embarrassed. If they vote for him again, they should be thoroughly ashamed.
