From the pool report late yesterday:
Presidential press corps pool reportAnd don't forget that none of the GOP presidential candidates said a word after the soldier was booed. None of them. And even now that Huntsman, Santorum and Johnson have all condemned the audience members who booed, Romney, Perry, Bachmann, Gingrich and Cain are all refusing to comment.

"Biden mentioned the instance in a debate when an Iraq war veteran who was gay asked a question via YouTube. In a loud voice, Biden said, 'They booed, they booed. For chrissakes, that kid may have been the guy protecting my son who spent a year in Iraq. Nobody in Iraq, nobody carrying a weapon, would ask whether that guy was gay or straight, they want to know can he shoot straight. This guy risked his life, these guys boo? Boo a veteran who spent a year in Iraq.' People applauded and cheered at Biden's anger."
Refusing to comment about whether they agree that our troops in Iraq should be booed.
Think about that, the next time you consider whether any of those five has what it takes to be commander in chief. They care more about appeasing the lunatic teabagging wing of their own party than defending the troops.
Nearly 10,000 people have signed our open letter to the GOP candidates demanding they apologize for this affront to our troops. Please sign it and send it around.
