Gay soldier gets booed at RNC debate

[Ms Tree]

Perfect (video) example of the liberal intolerance: Texas student suspended for saying homosexuality is wrong

The teacher should be suspended at the very least assuming the story is true. No reason to have sexual content in a class unless it is a sex ed or sexuality class or a student brings it up in discussion.

Student was reinstated, suspension dropped and the principle apologized.

Sorry to disappoint, but the facts from an person who was there tell a different story.

Now you trust a liberal journalist? Convenient that he supports your POV huh? I listened tot he video. I disagree with his assessment. The point you are missing is that I do not care about the audience. I am disturbed about the fact that not a single candidate or moderator made any comment to chastise such behavior like the moderator did twice in the video you presented.

You didn't even read the article. It was from someone who was actually there. So yes I will believe someone who was there. rather then what you think you heard from a video posted on Huffington Post.

But don't let the facts get in the way of your homo promo agenda.

Yes I did read the article but his statement does not coincide with what I heard on the video regardless of any echo effect of the auditorium. And again I reiterate the fact that the audience response is not what I am addressing. The heckler(s) could be heard from the stage since the mics picked it up which means the candidates and moderators more than likely heard the response. They said nothing as a service man was heckled. They stood silent. That is tantamount to agreement/acceptance as far as I am concerned. Some of them were even wearing flags on their lapel. How ironic.

So don't let that fact get in the way of your homophobic hate agenda.

Thanks for proving my point. You didnt read the article or failed to comprehend it. It wasn't "his statement." Intellectual curiosity would have lead you to a different conclusion.

Sarah Rumpf, who was (unlike reporters) in the room where candidates debated last night, reports on the goings-on when some churls booed a gay soldier's video.

So yes I will choose to believe a person who was there over someone like you who chooses to form opinions from those that only fits into your agenda. If it was a court of law, what you think you heard on a Youtube video, verses what a live witness heard wouldn't hold up.

 

[Ms Tree]

Sorry I missed the fact that the opinion on what happened was second person. That make sit sooo much more reliable. :blink:

Actually, your probably wrong about the court room thing. Ask any police officer or lawyer about the reliability of eye witness account verses video accounts. Unless it can be proven that the video was altered, video will beat out a eye witness every time.

Not always. You seemed to be confused at what the arguement is. You think there were was an crowd of booing, instead of just one person. Eyewitness account trumps what ever you think you heard on youtube. Unless you have video of it then your argument falls flat. So yes an eyewitness account will trump your liberal bias.

I said a bunch, not a crowd. A bunch is less than a crows, more then a few. Eyewitness with no proof and who may or may not be biased speaking to some talking head journalist. The video indicates more then one and less than a crowd.

At the same time, numerous psychological studies have shown that human beings are not very good at identifying people they saw only once for a relatively short period of time. The studies reveal error rates of as high as fifty percent — a frightening statistic given that many convictions may be based largely or solely on such testimony.

Reason.com

The latest form of evidence to come under scrutiny is eyewitness testimony. Psychologists have long known about the fallibility of human memory. As far back as 1971, England’s Criminal Law Review Committee warned that over-reliance on eyewitness testimony could lead to false convictions. Going back even to the 1800s, famed psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus’s memory research established the “Forgetting Curve,” which plots how human recollection fades over time, beginning within minutes of the creation of a memory.

American Psychological Association

Early on, they found that eyewitness identification often was not very good. Studies showed that witnesses often identified the wrong person from the photos (in one study, almost half the time) and that police interviewing techniques often hampered information gathering.

Today, more than 60 people have been exonerated by DNA evidence. And most were convicted with eyewitness testimony.

Eyewitness account gathered unprofessionally by a journalist does not trump a bag of dog crap.

And your only evidence is what you "heard" on youtube? Lol

You can't be serious? Never mind. I have read other posts of yours. You actually are serious.

But again you miss the point. Whether it was one or one thousand, the audience was not the point. The candidates were and their lack of reaction. Spin it any way you want, that is a fact. They stood up there and said nothing.

Guilty of what? Being politically incorrect?

Somehow i think no matter what you still would have thrown a fit over it. Your hate seems to be endless.

No, they all really should have done/said something. These individuals are vying for the highest office in the land, and as such require a level of maturity that would demand a reaction. MsTree is right on the money here...

Interestingly, incidents like this are really showing the party's true colors these days. On one hand, the GOP misses no opportunity to showcase their "patriotism" by taking reactionary and neandrethalithic pro-military stances on virtually every foreign policy (and federal spending for that matter) issue that comes up. On the other hand, this embarrassment. They should all be ashamed.

Oddly, or perhaps not out of the current RNC candidates, only Paul and Perry have any military experience. Paul was a flight surgeon with the USAF and Perry was a pilot. Perry never saw any combat as far as I am aware. Not sure about Paul. Romney and Gingrich got deferments. I do not believe the others were old enough for the draft.

I find this thread mildly amusing yet disturbing. Of all people, Rick Santorum made an interesting comment during the debate regarding gays in the military and you could tell he kind of made the response on the fly. He mentioned the rules in the military regarding fraternization that sex between members has been prohibited long before gays were openly in the military. Which is an interesting point. One I've not heard before.

The gentleman that was openly gay and in Afghanistan fighting really should only be focused on the mission at hand. Like the old joke recruiting slogan, "Join the Army and travel to far off and exotic lands, meet interesting people and kill them". Frankly I'm more interested is that soldiers kill rate than his choice of whom he chooses to boink.

As to the booing, I can understand the position of many regarding gays period and their current status as "Minority Du Jour" or preferred minority if you like. The other interesting thing that comes from the "Heterosexuality is an abomination" crowd is as soon as a friend, relative or child "Come out" their attitude does a 180.

The left only cares about this nontroversy because the soldier is gay. If it was a straight soldier, they would rather spit on him and call him a baby killer.
