Daman Wayans: The Chickenhawk Meme -- Now X-rated! Angry in T.O. at 09:52 AM Related articles: Cosmos :: CanConv :: Blogging Tories Daman Wayans, alleged comedian, is repeating the chickenhawk meme, in which he would send his sons to fight in Iraq if George W Bush sends the twins.
Put aside all the logic about all-volunteer armies and so forth. Daman Wayans adds a twist:
That was funnyman Damon Wayans in Orlando the other day going nuclear on President Bush - and twins Jenna and Barbara - over the war in Iraq and the possible reinstatement of a military draft. "I'll send my sons if he sends his daughters," Wayans told the crowd, including Daily News contributor Jawn Murray, at Tom Joyner's Family Reunion in Disneyworld. "Put those two drunk b-s on a plane and let them go fight. At least I know my sons would be getting some on the way." I wonder if Daman Wayans would think it was funny if George W Bush suggested that when they're old enough, instead of taking Daman's sons, daughters Cara Mia (18) and Kyla (14) were sent overseas to "entertain the troops".
Hey, Cara is old enough. So what about it, Daman? Still funny?
And the jerk made these comments at Disneyworld of all places. A father should know better than to say stupid things like this. Especially in public. When his wife and family might hear.
So by that logic, those who do not pay taxes cannot demand increases in spending or tax hikes.
Jenna and Barbara are ADULTS. Therefore Bush can't "send" them anywhere-they would have to volunteer on their own.
I guess so. I do find Mr. Wayans remarks to be pretty cheap.
I had no idea all those soldiers in Iraq were "sent" by their parents. Talk about "tough love."
Typical of the Wayans crowd. I can see why we haven't heard from this POS in a long time.
Damon Wayans and Talent: Never had it, never will.....
This is Father-of-the-Year material here! -sarcasm
Daman still has a career?
Who knew?
OK, we've heard this sophistry before. Here's the logical extension of this type of thinking: If only people who've been in the armed forces in Iraq have a right to speak about the Iraq War, then the support for the war would be positively overwhelming.
Actors - what don't they know? -Homer Simpson
Ummm... what part of VOLUNTEER ARMY does this maroon not understand? The only ones that are "sent" are those that volunteer to do so.
didn't he used to be a celebrity or something?
Exactly. It's an insult to those people who volunteered and their parents.
I agree. Plus I don't look to an entertainer to be my educator.
Another loon calls out to its lost mates....
"I don't think so. Homey don't play dat."
Do they ever think of anything original? This thing has been rehashed how many times now? Sheesh.
What a hate filled idiot.
Didn't Jenna or Barbra visit Iraq last year?
