Good response Rick. The childish booing and cheering at debates is annoying anyway. In this case booing someone actively serving in a war zone is very poor form.

There were 2 at most and it was after the soldier asked the question. I think it was the question and not the soldier that was booed.

Probably the question being booed. If he’s gay...ok. If he’s out there dodging bullets and risking death for a country that allows him to live the way he wants in civi life...booing is disgusting. I could care less what he does with his penis. That’s up to God to judge.

Come on Rick. They weren’t booing asoldier serving his country.

They were booing the latest issue in the culture wars that has been used like a wedge not to enhance military strength or even fairness, but create more social chaos and anarchy in an area that should be free of social expirementation that the social engineers are foisting upon the rest of society. You know that Rick.

I don’t agree with the booing, but I thought it was wrong for this stupid question from the gay soilder to get through in the first place. I thought Sanitarium nailed the answer, then he had to go screw it up by “condemning” the crowd just as the MSM wanted him to.

Gays in the military is an incremental step in destroying the family, and implementing State control of how children are raised. Read the Communist Manifesto. You can bet there will be greater demands as time goes on. Acceptance will become enforcement (”not enough gays in the military”).

And I must ask, have we turned “serving our country” into the new race card? Is it the new phrase to shut down dissent and end the conversation?

How dare people think they have a right to express an opinion! Off with their heads for questioning immorality and bad government policy!

Congress approved repeal of the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy in December 2010, during the lame-duck session after the elections that swept Republicans into power of the House of Representatives, but before they had taken power. Six Republicans voted with Democrats in the Senate to repeal the policy.

I don't think the President has the power to adopt or repeal the policy, although I'm sure Obama assumes he does. Therefore, the question had no purpose other than to be another homosexual "in your face" moment. The boo was justified.

I don’t know what small group in the crowd did it – but Conservatives DON’T boo soldiers. Booing soldiers is a Progressive thing, not ours. I don’t give a damn what sexual orientation he is. It was a horrible demonstration, that will be used against our side in worse ways than the cheering at Ron Pauls “let him die” reply from the 2nd debate or the Jerry Springer audience that snuck in and loudly cheered executions.

Quite frankly as a Veteran I was embarrassed, and even felt insulted last night.

Ending don’t ask don’t tell, was not part of the Republican platform, but its done and American people just want to move on, and not make this social issue part of this election. Its not the time and place for that battle. And this soldier lifted his right hand like any other soldier and took the same oath, and for all we know has served honorably. A standing ovation for the soldier, or at the very least a “Thank You for your service” followed by an intelligent argument defending the Republican platform would have been much smarter and classier.

The gay soldier announced that he was gay for the reason most gays make their sexual preference known, whether it matters at the moment, or not; to put the subject of their announcement on the defensive. I wouldn't be surprised if the soldier expected a round of applause for stating that he was homosexual ('gay') and asking a pointed question about gays in the military. Rick Santorum condemning the booing - conveniently after the fact - on the basis that he assumed it was due to the soldier saying that he was gay indicates that (a) Santorum is being coy and, (b) he is saying what he thinks he is supposed to say in this instance. He's probably right. Which is why a gay soldier made sure to state that he is gay when he asked his question about whether Santorum would continue to support the new gay-friendly polices on military recruitment practices.

For all we know the booing could have been done by DNC plants because the leftmedia is using it to validate their vicious lie that 'Republicans hate gays' (and, as they often add, anyone not white, heterosexual and Christian). Since I doubt the election will turn on who gets the homosexual vote this is not terribly important but it demonstrates the abject fear the left has of the TEA party. They are pulling out all the stops to defame the TEA party folks and convince Americans they are a bunch of KKK-style haters that want to shove Christianity down the throats of Americans. That is insane and a palpable lie but the left is getting desperate as they see the nation slowly turning on Obama and threatening to dismantle the socialist structure the left has carefully built over the past 70 years. Look for lots of this 'Republicans hate...(fill in the minority group) rhetoric in the weeks to come. Expect it to reach tsunami proportions if Sarah Palin enters the race, as I hope she does because she will be prepared to deal with the smears and evaporate them as they are based on fallacies.

Kind of a dilemma, a soldier defending America who is hellbent on destroying it.

A fag in a war zone wants to discuss being a fag? What a surprise.
