RW PUNDIT Says: Gay's in Military Like Me in Platoon with Hooter Waitresses!
:wow:


{b]Right-Wing Pundit: Gays In The Military Are Like ‘Me In A Platoon With Hooters Waitresses’

Last night on CNN, right-wing pundit Mark Smith argued that “openly gay people” should not be allowed to serve in the military, advocating the military’s current Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy. He argued that gay soldiers are unable to “focus” on the war, comparing gays in the military to himself in a platoon of “Hooters waitresses.”

He stated, “or example, if you put me in a platoon with nothing but, let’s say, Hooter waitresses, that’s going to distract me, and I’m not going to be focused on winning the war. I am going to be focused on other things.” Watch it:

Smith gives no evidence for his claim that gays are unable to “focus on winning the war.” His analogy makes light of the work being done by U.S. troops by comparing them to Hooters waitresses, who serve food and beverages in skimpy outfits.

Smith has never served in the military. Jon Soltz, an Army captain who served in Iraq in 2003 and founded VoteVets, called Smith’s comments “ridiculous” and said, “There’s gay people that serve with us when we’re in combat. They serve well.”

Link has Video of disgusting statement with comments by John Aravosis, thankfully.....

10. Oh, I think he's way beyond the aspire point.
He's arrived and has settled in quite nicely.

I've never been combat; but I think that if I were, the last thing I'd be worried about is anyone's gender preference.

3. (((sigh)))
:eyes:

I sometimes wonder why so many here give so much time and attention to the hateful things those people spew.

Given that this is on this board, I'll comment.
I could give less than half of a damn what some disturbed, bigoted creep thinks about ANYTHING,much less their opinion of gay men that want to serve their country.

6. The US is behind the curve on this one.
Even the Israeli army allows gays to serve openly, and here (Canada) we've had military weddings for gay and lesbian servicemen and women.

It's just assinine, IMHO.....but I have to admit I have never really "gotten" what the whole deal is about.

7. No, Mark....
...no self-respecting waitress at Hooters would be interested in your flaccid, little dick so that theory doesn't hold water.

13. Women makes him loose focus?
I guess he doesn't want women in the work force, cause he wouldn't be able to concentrate.

He sounds like a perv. HE is telling the world the way he thinks. He get distracted by women, so gays must get distracted by men. Hmmmm.... I'm a straight person and I don't have that problem. Lots of people I know don't have that problem. However, I have met a few pervs that have a roveing eye. Such persons are all ways on the 'look out.'

If I was this guys wife, I wouldn't trust him.

It's amazing how the same stupid comments keep turning up. This was one of the excuses for segration. For women in the work place. Now this guy thinks gay men get hot over every guy they see. Ah, does he get hot over every female he sees? Can he REALLY not focus when a female is around? Or does he really act like a freak in heat... Hmmm....

He's a perv!
