    Just because she is a decorated veteran, and thanks to her for her service, doesn't mean that her opinion carry's any more weight than my mailman's.

    Duckworth, who has remained in the National Guard and continued to train during her recovery, told me during her unsuccessful campaign for Congress last year that she would go back to Iraq if called upon -- even though she had called the war a "mistake" and criticized President Bush's handling of it.

    "I would go again, yeah," she reiterated Tuesday, but noted that her prosthesis is not in any condition for her to take on such an assignment.

    Some people side with those who cowardly impugn the character and mock the sacrifice of actual patriots from the comfort of a TV studio. They are known as Republicans.

    Very true. Couldn't agree more. But to accuse her of "hating America" is asinine.

    And just because she is a Dem, and Carlson broadcasts on a network that promotes the kind of radical conservatism you agree with, doesn't mean you should take what a bigot says at face value.

    And pray tell why is the right's belief that others should financially support viewpoints like his any different?

    Bigots have been shooting and murdering 8 year old little girls. Patriots have seen enough of this, and we're moving to counter protest this violent mayhem people want to portray as a "movement".

    I think I’m cold with a holes getting their comeuppance. I know the solution. Be less of a dick.

    Having bad opinions doesn't make her less American than some frat boy on Fox News.

    Even a decorated veteran can be wrong and is not immune to criticism.

    No one is saying Duckworth can't be wrong or immune to criticism. I think for most people, the issue is the accusation that she "hates America". There is no credible evidence showing a hatred towards America. There is however evidence she cares a great deal for America. I don't know too many people who would spend 22 years of their life serving in the military if they "hated" the US.

    Well if you want to cancel George Washington, you probably do hate America.

    Tucker is a right-wing pretty boy with delusions of being the heir to trump.

    You’re referring to the video where she dodged the question?
    Right, so again I’ll ask....how does one “cancel” George Washington?

    What do you expect from a Foxite. Just when I thought Carlson was actually going to think for himself but alas he is just another eunuch.

    Sen. Tammy Duckworth said that we should have a national discussion about the statues of founding fathers. She should not have gone there. I disagree with her about even talking about it but for her to say to talk about it is not hatred of America. It is a silly thing to say especially in these times but questioning her patriotism, after she lost both legs while serving our country. Carson is swimming and eating in a Turd filled cesspool of stupid accusations.

    Dodging the question is a bit too kind. Being open to a discussion on tearing down George Washington statues and monuments seems to invalidate the founding in my opinion. Maybe you are looking for super specific definition of "canceling" but if you are open to removing the Father of the Country from the public square, one assumes that's part and parcel of removing him from the public discourse. I assume that you too, are "open" to a discussion on Washington's public presence?

    One can’t “cancel” George Washington. It’s cute you think it’s possible though. She dodged the question so you still have nothing on her regrading “hating” America. And no, you’re assumption about me is wrong. I am not in favor of taking down statues. But I also don’t lose my mind if any are taken down. I am sane enough to know a statue not standing in a certain spot doesn’t erase history.

    What the Turd eating political bacteria Carlson did is the same as our sorry excuse for a POTUS did by schiesting on the service that John MCCain gave to his country. John MCCain a true American patriot was schiested on by a guy who schiested on his country, our current POTUS.
    Remember if anyone has forgotten that POTUS Bonespurs has never served even one micro second in the military but his fans just like Carlson's fans think it is ok to trash and schiest on a true American patriot.

    No I do not agree with Duckworth's answer about statues but saying that she hates America instead of responding to her point is not the way we Americans should treat our fellow Americans.

    This really is the world of 1984 where American heroes are trashed but trash is treated like heroes.
