The flight of the chicken hawk. July 3, 2012 2:21 pm ER

Or, how do you swiftboat a double amputee?

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/07/rep-joe-walsh-says-iraq-war-vet-opponent-talks-too-much-to-be-true-hero/

Rep. Joe Walsh’s Facebook page is flooded with negative comments today after the Illinois Republican said his opponent, Iraq War veteran Tammy Duckworth, was not a “true” hero because she often makes reference to her military service on the campaign trail.

Duckworth lost both her legs after an RPG attack in Iraq brought down the Black Hawk helicopter she was piloting in 2004. Walsh never mentions his own military service on the campaign stump. He never had any.

You will recall the Hon Mr Walsh is the guy who wasn’t making his child support payments.

Where does the tea party get these guys? Do they run some kind of training camp in the Pacific Northwest where they indoctrinate them?
Or do they put alcohol in their baby formula?
