It's not like this is anything new for the Republicans. They drove wonderful Max Cleland out of office in South Carolina by mocking his disability and questioning his patriotism. A triple combat amputee.

All respect to Mr. Khizr Khan for finally exposing Republican flag-humping for the bullshit it is. And how the Democrats ever let the Reaganauts steal the patriotic high ground from us is a mystery to me.

Apologies to both tribbles and slime molds.

Loved the defining silence after Kirk stuck his foot so far into his mouth that it came out his ass. People couldn't believe a real human being could be that flexible, I guess. I also loved Duckworth's response... silence. She just looked at him.

FFS. How is it that in 2016 that every politician in the land hasn't worked out that no matter what you actually think, you don't make demeaning references to a ethnicity, religious affiliation, gender, or sexual orientation. You just don't do it.
