I was there, and the time line is correct. It was the soldier’s final statement that got the boos, and it was out of the back right corner of the room from a small contingent of the 5,000 people in the room.
“the soldier was booed when he identified himself as gay”
So easily proven to be false its amazing they can even continue with the spin. If they can lie about this...imagine what they can do with complex theories, economics, global warming, McCarthy, Bush, Palin..etc etc etc
Call me insensitive but I don’t see anything wrong with booing a political position. No matter who holds it.
The question is “why did Obama just sit there while his pastor was spewing hate?” The Republicans should take every one of these asinine attacks and not defend themselves, but use the opportunity to hit the Democrats. I hate playing defense.
Repeat the lie enough times, and it becomes the truth in the mind of the Sheep.
He sounded like Hitler getting the Germans all riled up with his LIES.
I cannot recall a Republican President getting his audience into a hateful frenzy like Obama does. Very scary that there are that many dupes in this country.
That gay soldier was doing a political gotacha and he knew it. First off, his set up was a LIE when he used the phrase where he said I had to lie about myself. That is a very loaded phrase and was meant to garner sympathy. As a matter of fact under DADT no gay soldier had to lie because no one was allowed to a ASK. Afteralll that was the point of DADT. DONT ASK.
That soldier along with the airman who outed himself in front of the WORLD to his father were both on their pity pots wanting, no needing, the world to feel sorry for them and in the process flex their new found gay notoriety at the expense of their employer and superiors.
They don’t want to be regular soldiers, part of a team, they want GAY RIGHTS in the military and they have proven that with these two incidents. How soon do you think it will take for a gay soldier to bring an EO complaint alleging that they were passed over for promotion because their NCO or Officer was prejudiced against gays. I give it a New York minute.
I wasn't there. But if I had been I probably would have booed at that point also.
How is it "progress" to wish people to become ensnared in the sin of homosexuality? We recognize that we are all sinners (saved only by Grace), but we aren't to continue in sin, and we should cheer for everyone and anyone to break loose from their shackles of sin ('for the wages of sin is death...') and to be set free by the Gift of God which is eternal life through Christ Jesus.
That was definitely a 'boo' moment - wanting to encourage the destruction of other people and calling it "progress"...
I’m sure somehow the Koch brothers will soon be blamed.
Christianne Amanpour from CNN totally got this wrong when interviewing Herman Cain. She said “when he began to speak,” the crowd began booing.
But then she is an utterly shameless shill for the Democrat National Committee. She’s spent the last 3 years of her life sucking up to Obama..
