Hey Joe Walsh! She has every damn right to talk about her service...

She gave 20 years of her life serving this country. She gave her body and soul to this country.

She has every fucking right to talk about it as much as she wants. She earned it.

What have you done for this country besides take up space?

1. Except Walsh's claim was FALSE

Duckworth has been talking in the campaign about policy issues--as Ashleigh Banfield pointed out in her CNN interview with Walsh. And Banfield was armed with a sheaf of papers listing news reports and all of the specific public policy issues that the media reported Duckworth has been talking about.

Walsh's claim that about Duckworth that "all she talks about is her service" is demonstrably false.

9. Since when has the truth ever stopped a Republic from saying what they want about an opponent?

I'm hoping the machines aren't quite as well rigged as I think they are, but even so, I think she's going to kick his ass.

That is obvious from watching that video. He needs to crawl back into the sewer from where he came from.

She lost both her legs in service to her country and even without them, SHE IS GONNA KICK HIS ASS!! Add that to the list of things that make this woman a true hero.

dishonorable bullshit.

He's just trying to make her into what he already is - evil.

I bet you, deep down, somewhere in the abyss of his soul, he envies her. Her service, her commitments, her honor & her joy.

Oh Well - Fleetwood Mac

I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

Oh well

Now, when I talked to God I knew he'd understand
He said, stick by my side and I'll be your guiding hand
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

Oh well

8. Joe Walsh is scum

She has every right to talk about her service. Secondly just how is a double amputee suppose to avoid talking about her service? People have eyes and evidently someone would have the nerve to ask. What happened to your legs? Therefore it's unavoidable for her not to talk about it.
