And of course he was kissing up to the interviewer, Bryan Fischer of the "American Family Association". Fischer last stepped into the latrine with his comment that the Medal of Honor has become feminized, because it's now being awarded for saving lives and not killing the enemy. Palin will probably be going over soon to kiss the feet of the AFA and buff up her tarnished image.

Shows his intelligence level, can something before even trying it. It's gone, and good riddence. But I'm open minded. If something shows that this seriously is undermining the miliary, I'd be willing to consider a return to DADT...Becuse I'm 100% sure you're never going to be able to show anything but rediculous anecdotal evidence against gays serving openly in the military.

I told you, watch out for this dick. He was elected governor of the ultimate blue state... TWICE. He is the consumate conservative politician. Reactionary to the base, but when he needs to win votes- oh, he can be soooo moderate.

I don't know if everybody here is aware of this but pawlenty was picked by rove and cheney to be the next rising star in the neocon camp. Originaly coleman was going to attempt the governorship and pawlenty was going for Wellstones seat and those two clowns came to town and convinced them to swap. I can hear it in my mind how it went, "norm look your a ki... er I mean jewish and America is not ready for a Jewish pres. and the governorship is AAA for the bigs. We want you to work for us in the senate and don't worry about Wellstone we have him taken care of.

Rove and Cheney are probably hatching some new plots since they haven't been indicted yet, I hope they get caught one day. I can't say anything about Minnesota politics since California produced two White House gems, Nixon and Reagan - a crook and a senile actor. Paul Wellstone's untimely death was a great loss.

Wow... so if you save the lives of the guys in your unit, you're a sissy? But, if you kill you some brown people ... you're a HERO!?!?
I thought the Medal of Honor was for extreme valor in combat. And, to my knowledge, saving the lives of your allies with disregard for your own safety or needs is quite an act of valor. But what do I know.... I'm just a normal human being.

Fischer seems to be free with opinions on every other subject, surprised he hasn't run his mouth on that one.
"As the director of issues analysis at the American Family Association, Bryan Fischer has issued some rather interesting "analysis" over the past year. He has said that Muslims should be banned from serving in the military; that a whale at Sea World should have been stoned to death for killing its trainer; that inbreeding makes Muslims stupid and violent; and that gay sex is a form of domestic terrorism."
