Rep. Joe Walsh Blasts Double Amputee’s Military Service, Says She’s Not A ‘True Hero’
By Scott Keyes on Jul 3, 2012 at 11:06 am
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.

<..> Duckworth chose to become a helicopter pilot because few other combat roles are open to women. She has served for more than 20 years, earning the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and receiving multiple military awards, including a Purple Heart, an Air Medal, and an Army Commendation Medal.

Joe Walsh is slime. I hope everybody votes for Tammy Duckworth.

How can anyone in that crowd sit there and listen to that deadbeat dad criticize a war hero?
Republicans and the assholes that - NJMaverick - 07-03-2012 09:54 AM

Another big mouth repub chickenhawk. I guess that only repubs can be veterans and talk about their service.
I hope the voters get it and send Chickenhawk Joe home and defeated on Election Day.

What is wrong with him?
He does not want her to get any credit for serving and losing both legs?
He should be conceding that it is a good thing. And please we did hear about McCain's being a POW.

Walsh was voted in by the teabaggers, he speaks their language.

I guess he didn't see the '08 GOP convention.

I truly do not get how this guy was elected. He is one of the nastiest pieces of shit ever to run for office. He's a known deadbeat dad, and he screams at and insults the people he wants to vote for him.
And now, bashing amputee vets.
What does this guy have over people? Hypnosis or something?
