Democrat Congressman Calls Disabled Marine "White Trash"
Welcome to the new age of Democrat civility. We have Democrat Senator Barbara Boxer comparing Republicans to the Taliban. We have Democrat Congressman Alan "Dick" Grayson comparing Republicans to Nazis. We have Democrat Congressman Brian Baird calling Tea-Party Patriots "brownshirts." We have the Democrat House Leadership calling critics of their Health Care Program "Un-American."
Add to this hall of shame Democrat Congressman Dennis Moore, (D-KS), who referred to his Republic challenger --- a Marine Veteran who lost his leg to an IED in Iraq --- as "white trash."
Speaking to a respected Hispanic leader in KCK, Dennis Moore reportedly called decorated and disabled Marine Veteran and Congressional Opponent “White Trash” in a recent (recorded) telephone conversation. The KCK leader, who has formally supported the incumbent congressman, is supporting Daniel Gilyeat’s candidacy for the Kansas 3rd District Congressional seat. Dennis Moore called the KCK man after hearing the Hispanic community leader’s support had changed.
Stay classy, Democrat Party
You see, this is part of the reasoning why I decided about 8 years ago to go ahead and register myself as an Independant. This country has become more divided than ever before, or @ least it seems that way. And not just politically. There is so much of this us vs. them/ black and white mentality. On both sides of the argument there have always been these extreme pockets of hate, but it seems much more prevalent now. And regardless of the fact that we all (as Americans) get to share in the Fifth Amendment, for anyone to call a disabled war veteran 'white trash' is so horribly wrong. The Republican challenger who lost his leg over in Iraq as a Marine, sacraficed himself so that some asshole could say that.
