Cain said it wasn't immediately clear to him what had drawn the audience's scorn, adding, "I happen to think that maybe they were booing the whole 'don't ask, don't tell' repeal more so than booing that soldier."

Exactly. Doubtful anyone was booing the soldier or his service, but the media thinks it's time to create a "wedge" issue between Cain and Conservatives - get them in another circular firing squad.

Pass.

All this is a straw argument. The audience did not boo. It was confined to one or two individuals whom the rest of the audience immediately hushed up. The couple who booed could well have been mistaken by those on the platform as booing the soldier’s implicit point that openly gay people should be allowed to serve in the military. Nothing wrong with that and this is what Cain says he thought.
