    Former Pennsylvania Sen.

    “In 2010, when I was deployed to Iraq, I had to lie about who I was, because I’m a gay soldier, and I didn’t want to lose my job,” said Stephen Hill, whose image was projected on a large TV screen in the debate hall. “My question is, under one of your presidencies, do you intend to circumvent the progress that’s been made for gay and lesbian soldiers in the military?"
    Members of the crowd booed loudly at the question.
    Two people out of a crowd of hundreds "booed" and they were "shushed down" by the rest of the crowd.

    Trying to paint the rest of the Right, or even just the Tea Baggers, with this brush is ludicrous and disingenuous. Either that or you've bought into the moveon.org bullet points without looking at the evidence yourself.

    Go watch/listen to the original even and judge for yourself.

    1 or 100 they represent the right wing of the republican party on or at a televised republican event.

    I note you lack comment on the let'm die in reference to the hypothetical in a coma man without insurance.

    Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain said Sunday it would've been "appropriate" to have told the audience at the Fox News/Google debate that it shouldn't boo the gay soldier who asked a question about the repeal of don't ask, don't tell, but he still thinks audience members were booing the policy, not the man.
    But that how you folks operate ...
