I suppose it’s at least somewhat comforting that it seems like there were only a few rogue jackasses at the Republican presidential debate who booed an American soldier for being gay, but it would have been nice if one of the candidates right (including Rick Santorum, who answered the question) at that moment called out the audience members who were way out of line. It would have taken five seconds and would have seen far more sincere than going on and on about it after the debate was over. It doesn’t take that much courage to condemn hate when it’s happen, especially from the podium, but that basic level of decency probably should be a qualifier to be president.

Oh, you mean like the dems’ fearless leader called out Joe Biden for calling tea partiers “terrorists,” and Maxine Waters for saying tea partiers should “go to hell,” and Hoffa for calling the right “sons of bitches” as well as all the other uncivil discourse coming from the left? I guess when you can’t debate on the facts, you have to resort to calling names….
Gees republicans are stupid sometimes. Steven Hill would absolutely kick my ass. I’m happy he is serving our country and hope that he can continue his calling regardless of what some jack ass who will not become president of the united states says.
for the Republic you think booing a soldier is debate? Remeber what Dick Chaney said to Patrick Leahy go do that to yourself :).
