I wonder if FOX will still keep him? http://mediamatters.org/blog/2014/05/22/foxs-allen-west-attacks-decorated-vet-rep-tammy/199424 The current GOP does not thank any veteran for their service if they are not GOP members in good standing with the Tealaban. Evidence their hatred for Bob Kerrey, Jim Webb, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, Daniel Inouye, Charles Rangel, Max Cleland, Gray Davis and now Tammy Duckworth. All have been smeared by GOP politicians daily as well as the likes of Allan West , Karl Rove, the patriotic pants shitter and by the bloviating pilonidal cyst.

It saddens me greatly when a military veteran chooses to side with the enemy. We had/have a bunch from Vietnam as well. It saddens me greatly when I hear of a a veteran who is a republican. What I will never do is question that person's patriotism, let alone one missing so many limbs. At least the people in Florida had the common sense to toss him out on his ass, and he had all the grace and composure of Jan Brady when he lost.

It saddens me greatly when someone decides that a military vet who is serving their country is "siding with the enemy."

You know, I remember when you went through a phase (it must have been The Blaze's monthly talking point or something) of attacking Obama for being 'divisive', and that he wasn't 'uniting' left and right. It was dumb and hypocritical at the time, but comments like the above show just how hilariously dumb and hypocritical!Do you want to have an ideagasm?

grimmie 186 #13 May 22, 2014 The Tea Party and GOP is loving the Benghazi "scandal". They are making money off of it for their campaign financing. Look at the stock market, the economy and housing. That Muslim is the worst Socialist in history. Questioning a wounded veteran's loyalty is a pretty cheap shot, even by Allen West standards. Carry on.

Not the brave soldiers who fight them and return to the US dead and disfigured. You ought to think long and hard about what you've just written and be ashamed of yourself. The enemy is the socialist administration in Washington. Hey Ron, here's another Democrat you might wish to piss on: QuoteDaniel Ken "Dan" Inouye ( ... September 7, 1924 – December 17, 2012) was a Medal of Honor recipient, a recipient (posthumously) of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, a United States Senator from Hawaii, a member of the Democratic Party, and the President pro tempore of the United States Senate from 2010 until his death in 2012,[3] making him the highest-ranking Asian American politician in U.S. history.[4] Inouye was the chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Appropriations. A senator since 1963, Inouye was the most senior U.S. senator at the time of his death. ... There's this interesting tidbit about his military service: QuoteOn April 21, 1945, Inouye was grievously wounded while leading an assault on a heavily-defended ridge near San Terenzo in Tuscany, Italy, called Colle Musatello. The ridge served as a strongpoint along the strip of German fortifications known as the Gothic Line, which represented the last and most unyielding line of German defensive works in Italy. As he led his platoon in a flanking maneuver, three German machine guns opened fire from covered positions just 40 yards away, pinning his men to the ground. Inouye stood up to attack and was shot in the stomach; ignoring his wound, he proceeded to attack and destroy the first machine gun nest with hand grenades and fire from his Thompson submachine gun. After being informed of the severity of his wound by his platoon sergeant, he refused treatment and rallied his men for an attack on the second machine gun position, which he also successfully destroyed before collapsing from blood loss. As his squad distracted the third machine gunner, Inouye crawled toward the final bunker, eventually drawing within 10 yards. As he raised himself up and cocked his arm to throw his last grenade into the fighting position, a German inside the bunker fired a rifle grenade that struck him on the right elbow, severing most of his arm and leaving his own primed grenade reflexively "clenched in a fist that suddenly didn't belong to me anymore".[15] Inouye's horrified soldiers moved to his aid, but he shouted for them to keep back out of fear his severed fist would involuntarily relax and drop the grenade. While the German inside the bunker reloaded his rifle, Inouye pried the live grenade from his useless right hand and transferred it to his left. As the German aimed his rifle to finish him off, Inouye tossed the grenade into the bunker and destroyed it. He stumbled to his feet and continued forward, silencing the last German resistance with a one-handed burst from his Thompson before being wounded in the leg and tumbling unconscious to the bottom of the ridge. When he awoke to see the concerned men of his platoon hovering over him, his only comment before being carried away was to gruffly order them to return to their positions, since, as he pointed out, "nobody called off the war!"[16] The remainder of Inouye's mutilated right arm was later amputated at a field hospital without proper anesthesia, as he had been given too much morphine at an aid station and it was feared any more would lower his blood pressure enough to kill him.[17] Although Inouye had lost his right arm, he remained in the military until 1947 and was honorably discharged with the rank of captain. At the time of his leaving the Army, he was a recipient of the Bronze Star Medal and the Purple Heart. Inouye was initially awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for his bravery in this action, with the award later being upgraded to the Medal of Honor... Of course, Ron, I am certain you will be able to impress us with your own tales of courage and sacrifice that prove that you are a much more impressive patriot than any democrat could ever be.

RonD1120 62 #20 May 23, 2014 None of you seem to grasp the concept that an honorable military record does not make an honorable politician. In regard for Senator Daniel Inouye, he was an old school Democrat, a WWII veteran, and his breed died off long ago. The game totally changed, as to the public view, after Nixon resigned.
