Intensely silly attack on Cruz. My grandmother's only brother lost his life in the Bataan Death March and it's long been the subject of conversation and reflection with my family. But Cruz's comments showed no disrespect whatsoever.
Do you know a Veteran?
Veterans and their families do not take kindly to using a Bataan death march for a 21-hour partisan charade.
Imagine how our real heroes feel watching a USA Senator dishonor them!
Almost my entire family are veterans, myself included (Vietnam vet), some are retired military. As I mentioned my great uncle died in the Death March. He said nothing to dishonor us.
If the remarks by Cruz showed no disrespect, as you say, then why did he apoligize to Veterans for them?
Because the idiots of both parties who parse every syllable looking for a meme they can foist upon their followers were busy trying to spin this into a weapon they could use against their current enemy number one.
Ted Cruz apologizes for Bataan remark - Tal Kopan - POLITICO.com
'At the end of his speech last week, Cruz wrapped up by acknowledging floor staff and individuals who worked during his speech, thanking "the men and women who have endured this---this Bataan death march".'
How would Republicans have reacted if a Democratic Senator had done this?
Is Cruz being given a pass by his own party?
Should Cruz be allowed to serve with real heroes like Sen. McCain?
It was an idiot from the republican party who said these disgraceful things, not the Democratic party.
These remarks will be played over and over in 12 months for the smugness they represent.
What disgraceful things? You have no connection to the service or the Bataan Death March. He made an off the cuff comparison that was twisted into something designed to piss off a few vets. This is what democrat operatives do on a daily basis. The republican operatives do the same. The dems happen to have the bully pulpit right now, so their operatives have an easier go of it.
And quit the snobby false righteousness, it doesn't suit.
