"One of the dirtier House races this election cycle is between Rep. Joe Walsh, R-Ill., and Army vet Tammy Duckworth, who lost both of her legs in combat. Walsh has been attacking Duckworth for things like talking about her military career ("My God, that's all she talks about," he once said), and, now, wearing dresses.
At a debate, Walsh held up a photo of Duckworth and said: "I was marching in a parade in Schaumburg [Ill.[, Sunday, two days before the Democratic convention, when Tammy Duckworth was on a stage down in Charlotte [N.C.[ — if you can look at the picture — picking out a dress for her speech Tuesday night."* Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show), Steve Oh (COO of The Young Turks) and RJ Eskow (The Breakdown, Huffington Post) break down why Rep. Joe Walsh, a man who dodged child support, would launch a sexist attack against a disabled U.S. Army veteran.

LIke the old Liberal war chant goes"if you don't want to hear tough things, don't get into politics. One needs a thick skin." All these comments were made to justify attacking Sarah Palin, her kids, her husband, her wardrobe, her accent, her hair, her glasses, her shoes, and her calves.
Fuck off, Libs. You bitch and whine 24-7-365 about anything and everything.

In 20 years, the Tea Party movement will be looked back upon as the most hateful, embarrassing, pathetic shifts in politics - ever.

Nice, I just posted another Joe Walsh piece. Didn't want to use The Young Turks because they'll just get blown off as liberal bias.

I love how this story leads with "Army vet Tammy Duckworth, who lost both of her legs in combat" in order to immediately garner people's sympathy. What a typical libtard move.
Of course she is a hero, who deserves our gratitude and respect. We all owe her a debt of deep gratitude for her service.
But moving on from that, she has decided to enter politics
The point about the dress was to illustrate where her real interest was, as she was engaged in dodging debates and simply More..

@wharris are you lucid ?? the u.s is the most militarist country in the world.republicans employ this tactic as a matter of course..that and patriotism and its tyranical extension,the patriot act.all this amounts to the same dark dynamic worthy of the stasi-if your not with us,you`re a bad american,a treasonous commie.

@stixtoo
It's actually tough to understand what you are trying to say.
Are you saying that Republicans play on the sympathy of veterans?
Because this story is claiming the opposite of what you say.

@wharris its not that difficult and is so well known as to be a joke.to have served is to be enobled,to be givin a status beyond reproach,to be a good american.the opportunists on both sides take advantage of it. right wingers use it more often and more shamelessly as you find more chronic nationalists,neo cons,warmongers on that side.

Tammy Duckworth is an asshole. I believe in equal rights, and it's her right to be an asshole. I wouldn't vote for her though and she's in my state.
