The Republican Tea Party's Brave New World of Disrespect

Did you see what happened at the Republican Presidential debate in Florida recently. A gay Iraq war veteran rose to ask a question AND WAS BOOED. Even worse, not a single candidate on the dais rose to defend his right to speak.

Welcome to the new Republican Tea Party - where we respect and honor all of our brave veterans..., except for gays and lesbians, of course.

Everyone is certainly entitled to express his or her opinion.  That's what these brave veterans fought to defend.  But, there's a word for behavior like that exhibited at the Republican debate - DISGRACEFUL!!
