As reported earlier, last night during the FOX News/Google GOP presidential debate Stepehen Hill, a soldier serving in Iraq, directed at question at Rick Santorum regarding DADT
Asked Hill: “Do you plan to circumvent the progress that has been made for gay and lesbian soldiers in the military?”
In a disgusting display of disrespect and homophobic hated, Hill was booed by members of the audience at the debate.
Answered Santorum:
“Any type of sexual activity has absolutely no place in the military. And the fact that they are making it a point to include it as a provision within the military – that we are going to recognize a group of people and give them a special privilege, I think tries to inject social policy into the military and the military’s job is to defend our country. We need to give the military, which is all volunteer, the ability to do so in a way that is most efficient and protective of our men and women in uniform and I believe this undermines that ability.”
Well not only is Santorums answer and the audiences reaction not sitting well with the LGBT left but even GOProud is now slamming Santorum demanding that ole frothy mix apologize to Hill.
Joint Statement of Christopher R. Barron, Chairman of the Board and Jimmy LaSalvia, Executive Director
(Washington, D.C.) – “Tonight, Rick Santorum disrespected our brave men and women in uniform, and he owes Stephen Hill, the gay soldier who asked him the question about Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell repeal, an immediate apology.
“That brave gay soldier is doing something Rick Santorum has never done – put his life on the line to defend our freedoms and our way of life. It is telling that Rick Santorum is so blinded by his anti-gay bigotry that he couldn’t even bring himself to thank that gay soldier for his service.
“Stephen Hill is serving our country in Iraq, fighting a war Senator Santorum says he supports. How can Senator Santorum claim to support this war if he doesn’t support the brave men and women who are fighting it?”
You know its bad when GOProud trashes a Republican, any Republican.
Will wonders ever cease?
