Republican Rep. Joe Walsh of Illinois is under fire this Fourth of July for complaining that his Democratic challenger, a veteran who lost her legs in Iraq, talks too much about her military service.
Tammy Duckworth, a Black Hawk pilot, was awarded the Purple Heart after her helicopter was hit by an RPG in 2004. She lost her legs and some use of her right arm in the explosion.
At a town hall meeting on Sunday, Walsh complained that he is “running against a woman who, I mean my God, [military service] is all she talks about.”
The first-term congressman also suggested that Duckworth is not a “true hero,” while comparing her unfavorably to Arizona Sen. John McCain.

FAWKES' NOOSE ~ ΔTX 2012/07/05 03:37:35Yes, Republican Representative Joe Walsh was WRONG
But then again it was a con President and Vice President that brought us 9/11 so the cons could make money off of our dead, wounded and dying soldiers.

I have made a donation to Tammy Duckworth's campaign even though she won't be my Representative and asked my friends to do the same. She IS a hero and has Patriotism in her little finger than Deadbeat Dad Joe Walsh has in his whole body.

John McCain didn't have any obvious physical impairment that brought attention to the fact that he was a vet. It's pretty hard not to address the issue when HALF OF YOUR BODY IS MISSING! People tend to wonder what happened to you.
I think John McCain was a hero. He was a POW and tortured. I think that qualifies. But I didn't vote for him because of it.
I don't think people will vote for Tammy because of it either, which is what Walsh is afraid of. Tammy ran for office once before and lost, so history tends to support this.
People will vote for Tammy because Walsh has shown himself to be an asshat.
"Answer my question as*hole"
Nice language. Did your Mother raise you in a whorehouse ?
Didn't anyone teach you when to open your piehole and when to keep it shut ?
If you would like learn in great detail about my military service simply post your (real) name, address, and phone number and I'll be happy to let you know.

The FAKE that replied to me Blocked Me...ROFL
What does?
Is a person following their chosen profession a Hero just for doing the job they chose???
Anyone who puts themselves in danger for the well being of others is.
Tell me why she declines to have a open debate with Walsh? Oh that's right, she is worried Walsh will expose her for who she is. All she does is tout her service record. You do not even live here, You have no idea. You're just a dumb lib hopping on the lib bandwagon of division.
It's called "walking back a comment". He was being honest the first time.
WHY DOES TAMMY DECLINE ALL WALSH"S REQUESTS FOR A PUBLIC DEBATE?
TRUE HEROES don't talk about their service, therefore, since Tammy does, she is not a 'true hero".
Joe is an embarrassment to Illinois. I should know, I live 45 minutes south of Chicago.
