Seriously? You title this “Crowd Boos”? Three people boo’d. Pay attention.

All those ungrateful free people that did that should be sent over to fight if they dont want gays in the military. That honestly makes me more sick than… well pretty much anything. Gay or not he should be hoisted up on our shoulders and thanked for his service.

By his own argument the military shouldn’t have the right to kick you out for being a homosexual; if “sex should not be an issue,” then quit making it a fucking issue. This is just disgusting.

We had to make an issue about it because there was an issue against it in the first place. I agree sexuality shouldn’t play into the military, just as it shouldn’t play into any job, unless you’re a stripper. I don’t care who’s gay, straight, bi or tri; as long as they are couragous enough to get out there, I respect them for that.

to be completely honest, i think if all the people in that room died the world would be a better place

Fuck them! Seriously!
That was mean and evil!
None of the candidates said anything about it or even thanked him for his service!

The gop only like the military when they can use them for a photo op.

Maybe instead of going to war you should stay home, dress up your dogs and make hats.

well, some people, like you mr. santorum are just bad people. Someday I really hope that you figure out the it doesn’t matter who they love but just that they do love and can be loved in return. BTW, straight, not narrow.

Do straight soldiers keep photos of their girlfriends or wives? Do they have pictures of hot chicks from magazines or porns? Do straight soldiers have to hide their interest in women and really just be robotic soldiers? I’m asking sincerely.

“I was at the debate, in the audience on the right hand side about halfway back. The person who booed was just a few rows in front of us. The booing got an immediate and angry reaction from nearly everyone sitting around him, who hissed and shushed at him. Lots of loud gasps, ‘Shhhh!’ ‘No!’ ‘Shut up, you idiot!’ etc.” — Blogger Sarah Rumpf • Discussing what actually happened during last night’s debate, during the infamous Rick Santorum/gay soldier question. We’d like to proudly note that our writer Chris managed to get this right the first time, rather than claiming the entire crowd was booing. Rumpf explains how the spare booing managed to echo through the room so effectively, and then denounces it. “There may be different opinions among Republicans about gays in the military,” she says, “but booing a soldier is not acceptable, and all but one or two people in a crowd of thousands knew that.” (thanks Dave Weigel) source (via • follow)

Just on thing to say… young and bright people, please VOTE!

The most infuriating part is that there are literally millions of people who just eat this fucking garbage up and think it is the Right Thing To Do. Santorum’s comment is ridiculous on its face, but mouth breathers everywhere are clapping and cheering. /spit

stay classy republicans.

Clearly ITT, people do not understand the premise of DADT.

“Yeah, when I’m President I am going to go ahead and restore DADT, costing our country another $1.3 billion dollars to enforce it. But it’s totally the democrats fault for all of our country’s money problems. I’ve googled it. ” ~ Rick Santorum

I don’t even have words for this, I’m so pissed off by it.

I don’t get this “keep it to yourself” nonsense. I’m a straight guy. Have I kept this fact a secret? No. Is that because I tell everyone at work about all my awesome straight sex with my female spouse? No. People know I’m a heterosexual simply because I have a wife. And kids. And it has nothing to do with knowing intimate details, it has to do with simply knowing the most basic information about me. Santorum is so wrong on this issue. No one is saying gays should be allowed to gay it up with impunity in the military. They are saying, if, in your private life, you are gay, and someone finds out by whatever means, you don’t automatically lose your career regardless of your performance.

You know in these moments where the disgusting nature of the GOP base is thrown into sharp relief, one of these candidates could at least show a minimum amount of real leadership by giving a “love the sinner, hate the sin” speech. That way I could “agree to disagree” and still have some respect for them as human beings, let alone political candidates.

I guess “Support Our Troops” went out with DADT.
