ORIGINAL: farglebargle Are you seriously trying to draw a false-equivalence between the actions of a single person and the POLICY OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY? The entire point is that NO-ONE AT THE DEBATES denounced the bigots. NO-ONE AT THE DEBATES had the bigots removed for interrupting the debates NO-ONE AT THE DEBATES had the bigots arrested for interrupting the debates. And none of the Republican Leadership has denounced the actions of the bigots, or the supporters of the bigots. That means, unlike your inapplicable counter-example, that the ENTIRE REPUBLICAN PARTY TACITLY ACCEPTS BIGOTRY AS THEIR POLICY. Don't like it? Complain to John Boehner. Put down the meth pipe, and go to a meeting. I doubt he is, but you are trying to establish a false premise based off two people. To look at your points. You are correct. No one denounced the two people who booed. I suppose that has something to do with allowing them to have their opinion regardless of whether it's right or wrong. Kind of like not denouncing California dems from demonstrating against children, or Washington democrats from booing the pledge of Allegiance, or Columbia democrats from heckling a wounded vet, or North Carolina democrats for insisting people be put on trial for crimes whether they committed them or not. Point 2 and 3 go together. There was no interruption of the debates. You can mildly ascribe it as a disruption but not as an interruption. Had they continued, then yes, it would have been an interruption and point 2 or 3 more likely. So you posted that gay soldiers were fighting for the right to be booed. That's not correct either. All soldiers fight for the right to be booed, gay or not. This is the right by the way, you wish to deny.
