We cats are amazed. In our lifetimes — okay, we have nine lives, but still — we've seen the Republicans go from the staunchly pro-military, stay-in-Viet-Nam, our-guys-can-whup-anybody's-butt-in-the-world party to one that smears decorated veterans who happen to be Democrats. They seem to reserve a special venom for multiple amputees.
Latest example: Teabagger nutcase Joe Walsh, who — when he isn't yelling at constituents to sit down and shut up — scorns Tammy Duckworth's service in Iraq. "What else has she done?" Chickenhawk Walsh wanted to know. "Female, wounded veteran... ehh." (So, Joe: losing both legs in combat isn't enough for you?)
Walsh has been forced to kinda sorta take those comments back. But we cats want to know: John Boehner? Eric Cantor? Other leading Republicans? Where are you? Why aren't you being asked why you tolerate this crap?
If all this makes you as sick as it makes us, send Tammy Duckworth some money before midnight tonight. Here's how.
