In an interview with Politico, deadbeat dad Joe Walsh attacked Tammy Duckworth this week by saying, “She is nothing more than a handpicked Washington bureaucrat. David Axelrod, Rahm Emanuel just picked her up and dropped her into this district. What else has she(Ms. Duckworth) done? Female, wounded veteran...ehhh."
REALLY?!??!!? First of all, yep SHE's a VETERAN...one that lost her legs protecting your sorry ass Joe Walsh! She is a Purple Heart recipient, served as a Black Hawk helicopter pilot in Iraq in 2004 and lost both legs and part of the use of her right arm...where were YOU, Mr. Walsh during the war???? Oh...yeah...hiding your money so you wouldn't have to pay child support.
What else has she done? She's been the head of the Veteran's administration in both Illinois and in the U.S., ran for congress and didn't even hide from paying bills, unlike you.
And why the "female" part of your answer??? Are you again dismissing women in general??? The quote wasn't "female wounded veteran", it was "female,(pause), wounded veteran" like she was wounded by breaking a nail or something.
And then his racist statements about Congressman Bobby Rush, "I hope Congressman Rush will be as outraged with all of the black on black crime going on in the city of Chicago weekend after weekend." Well, obviously Mr. Walsh doesn't understand, but I'm sure Congressman Rush understands about black on black crime...and how black men(and women) are sentenced at a much higher rate than whites, how African Americans, while being less than 15% of the population are almost 50% of the prison population. While white "cocaine dealers" get treatment, black crack users get prison time....10 years prison time. I think Rep. Rush understands all too well. Its just sad that the male that has ran from his own responsibilities(like paying child support) wants to play holier than thou with others who have served their country...and lost part of their body and Joe Walsh just dismisses the losses that veterans have suffered.
