I'm sure you've all heard. . . . (Updated)

about the teabaggers booing a gay soldier (or a YouTube of a gay soldier) at the last Republican "presidential" debate. Greg Sargent has what seems to me to be the best summary of what actually happened, and what the real outrage was.

Putting aside the question of whether the “audience” really booed Stephen Hill at last night’s debate — that’s an overstatement by any measure — the simple fact is that when Hill, who is serving in Iraq, was pelted with scattered boos, none of the GOP candidates rose to his defense. . . .

Multiple news stories today are claiming that the GOP candidates didn’t object to the booing of a “gay soldier.” That is an accurate description of what happened. An even more accurate description of what happened is to say that the GOP candidates didn’t object to the booing of a soldier.

This is your "God and Country" party, the "real" Americans who are taking back their country from -- well, all the other Americans.

And here's the one who wound up fielding the question. Former Senator Frothy Mix is perfectly incoherent.

Does this man honestly think he has a shot at the presidency?

Update:

Here's an update from Joe Jervis, in which Santorum claims not to have heard the boos. It just makes his comments on DADT even more incoherent and senseless -- after all, here's a gay soldier who is serving without causing the collapse of Western civilization, and Santorum just doesn't get it.
