Has anyone thought that they weren’t booing him because he was gay, but because it was such a liberal special interest question to toss into the debate?

[Dawgreg]

Well that’s what I thought it was......nary a peep about him proudly advertising his gayness but the question itself. Maybe I need a hearing aid......:(

It doesn’t matter. The MSM wouldn’t make a big deal out of it if a Dem debate questioner id’d themselves as a NAMBLA member and got applauded I bet.

....

Apparently one person boo’d and others told him to shut up.

In other words it was a non-event.

Has anyone asked the question if the people who booed were even Republican? I didn’t watch the debate so I am unsure of the context of the situation, but even from this distance, I smell a Rat.

For those who watch the question asked, there is no booing when he says he's a gay soldier. The booing comes at the end of the question, clearly suggesting the question is booed not the soldier.

The booing was maybe two people in 6,000.

If I had been on stage and able to hear the boo (Santorum claims he couldn't hear it), I'd have commented. It wasn't helpful and I knew immediately it would leave a bad impression.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was a set-up to make Republicans look bad.
