Quote Dennis Miller in'93: "He was the first guy in and the last guy out of Vietnam, a war that many Americans, including our current President didn't want to dirty their hands with.The reason he had to turn his hearing aid on at the debate is because those fucking animals knocked his eardrums out when he wouldn't spill his guts. He teaches philosophy @ Stanford, he's a brilliant, sensitive, courageous man. And yet he committed the one unpardonable sin in our culture: he was bad on television"
@hibob418 There really isn't anything more that can be said about that is there? Adm. Stockdale was a man apart, he had no peer on that stage nor anywhere else in politics. Of course a man like that is going to be laughed at by a society of mindless jackals who prefer to be ruled by one of their own.

@TenderTrap86 so he was dumbie jingoist shitkicker out killing innocent natives, that doesn't impress me. Now if you'd said he graduated summa cum laude from harvard university , that'd be something
@sportstuber11 lol education and basic humanity are liberal issues ? you're right i agree with you, you people are cavemen, barbarians who eat children
James B. Stockdale was a brave, smart, and heroic man. Read "In Love & War" and learn about this man and what he went through in Vietnam. Please don't judge him on this debate, Perot did not prepare him. Anyone that makes fun of this man is very ill informed as to who he is and what he has done for our country.
You fucking idiot, this guy was teaching Philosophy at STANFORD months before this. He had his ears bashed out in Nam as a POW. Learn before you speak.
LOL, you're an idiot. He's in a nationally televised vice presidential debate and he doesn't hear the moderators question because his hearing aid wasn't turned on. This singular act ruined Perot's chance of presidency. You sir are the moron.
It's not like it's an instance of a guy having forgotten to switch the on button on a personal hearing aid. This is a stage aid, and was improperly set up. You (bphutchins) are the moron.
That's funny. I remember watching this as it happened and the inevitable fallout on the news in the following week. It was his personal hearing aid, he admitted as much. There were even pundits accusing people of being discriminatory b/c of his "handicap". Do you normally just speak your opinion without actually researching it, or is that a new thing for you?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Stockdale is such a moron. Haha, he needs a hearing for his stupid Bush republican ass. All veterans should be tried in the World court for the atrocities they have committed against the innocent Muslims. It's time we need some change!!!
I'm pretty sure ksdog is a "moby", meaning the dude's actually a republican and is just actively trying to make democrats look bad by impersonating them to an exaggerated degree.
lol. O you stupid liberal....so nieeve. yeah and im sure the terrorists just want to be our friends too! you cant have an omlet without breaking a few eggs.
The problem is that the "eggs" they are breaking are civilians, not "terrorists". The rhetoric is nice, we're fighting "terrorism", but the reality is we're waging war on an entire nation, people who live on one dollar a day. The people of Iraq didn't anything to us.
The reason he had to turn his hearing aid on at that debate is because those f***ing animals knocked his eardrums out when he wouldnt spill his guts. He teaches philosophy at Stanford University, hes a brilliant, sensitive, courageous man. And yet he committed the one unpardonable sin in our culture: he was bad on television.
Way to disgrace a national hero. He may not have had political savvy, but anyone who makes fun of this great man has a part of their soul missing. Shame.
uh, i think he disgraced himself when he met a mockery of himself on national television. what ever happened to generals/admirals fading away gracefully?
I don't agree.... he looked like "Every person" up there, alongside of those polished Politicians. Pity that he wasn't properly prepared for this debate experience - he might have acquitted himself well.
Sad to watch, he was a hero, but he had no business running for office at that level. No one can take away what he did in the war, but that doesn't exactly qualify you to run on a presidential ticket. Quayle was the real joke in the debate, an embarassment to the whole country.
This man in amazing. In vietnam he was captured after his plane was shot down. Then angry villagers shattered his leg. They put him in prison and beat him for years. When he learned that they wanted to parade him for propaganda purposes, he cut his scalp and beat his face with a chair so that his face would be too bad to be on TV. And when he learned that other prisioners were mistreated he slit his wrists to protest. They destroyed his eardrums in prison too (thats why he needs a hearing aide.)
No disrespect is meant to Admiral Stockdale. The poor guy didn't even know he'd actually have to debate until very late in the game. Befuddled or not, he still came across much more genuine than Quayle or Gore.
Stockdale still made more sense than night than Quayle has made in his entire life.
