Rep. Patrick Murphy questions the witnesses

[Rcoxx4u]

The piece of trash Partrick Murphy is afraid of the answer to his pointed question. Elaine Donnelly is 100% correct.

We know he has a man at home wait for him.

[lulz666f]

@Rcoxx4u

Yeah. Y'all lost. Ha.

[25maruja]

You fucking respect all the military!! you bitch!!

[JimmyFormerMarine]

Thank God that Murphy wasn't reelected.

[1yearyounger]

poor pat got fucked by mike fitz it sucks

[ToddVenice]

Go Pat Murphy!!!! Could someone explain to me why this bigoted, closed-minded woman living in the 1950's is the head of anything? She needs to be fired!

[emmers57]

My God but Elaine Donnelly is quite stupid.

[hardinmichael1981]

I don't think that there were hearings like this when the US military decided to Integrate the races. I'm sure there were plenty of racist soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines who didn't like "forced cohabitation" then. Why should we pander to the sensitivities of bigots NOW? In THIS DAY AND AGE???

[GretchenDawntreader]

2:15 She sure does have issues with sexuality, that much is obvious.

Seen different clips of this woman's testimony, she goes back and forth saying on one hand, there were these one or two incidents so we must ban gays and lesbians, yet when someone mentions a gay or lesbian soldier performing honorably, she says we don't make policy based on individuals.

Disconnect! Woman is confused and doctrinaire.

[HenhousetheRed]

When all the old, white, rich senators die off I hope they get replaced by excellent people like Pat. Seriously.

[cegaspire]

GO PAT MURPHY!!! You tell that bimbo what the deal is. She is a disgrace. It was great seeing that bigot get OWNED.

[JimmyFormerMarine]

Murphy will be voted out this November. Good riddance to this bastard.

[gnr2391]

@JimmyFormerMarine

When our country grows more tolerant, and narrow minded people like you die off, people will look at bigoted, homophobic individuals like you with the same scorn we look at the racists from the 60's with. .

[JimmyFormerMarine]

@gnr2391 People like you filthy bastard should die off, not patriots like me who love America.

[gnr2391]

@JimmyFormerMarine

How am I a filthy bastard? Because even though I am attracted to women, I am not scared of men who are attracted to men? How does that go against what America is about?

[JimmyFormerMarine]

@gnr2391 You are a filthy bastard because of your stupidity. Isn't that enough reason?

[gnr2391]

@JimmyFormerMarine

But explain it to me. Like you said, I'm stupid. You need to give me a very detailed explanation for my petty brain to comprehend. The burden of proof lies on the one making the claim. You are the one claiming I'm stupid, so please justify your claim. P.S-Most of the nation's top academic faculty and student body agree with me, so they must be dumb too?

P.S-While you are at it, can you please explain how my lack of homophobia goes against what America is about?

[JimmyFormerMarine]

@gnr2391 Homosexuality is a mental behavior disorder. I feel sorry that they are born with a disease, but that is no reason to allow them in the military. If they don't like this country, they should get the hell out. Does that answer your question? As for Patrick Murphy, thank God effective January 5, 2011, he will no longer be my Congressman.

[gnr2391]

@JimmyFormerMarine

You can like a country but not like things about it... Just as you love America, despite repealing DADT, they can love America, despite their chagrin for it's homophobic policies. Also, why should they get out when they could change it? Can you imagine if MLK said "I hate the way blacks are being treated here, so rather than create equality for us, I'll leave?"

You still didn't answer how I'm stupid by the way.

[gnr2391]

@JimmyFormerMarine

How you want gays to leave, do you have any idea how that would hurt the US? American arts would suffer so much. Plus, I study at Northwestern, a school you would never be able to get in, mainly because you're an idiot. My classmates are going to be amongst successful people in society, contributing to the arts, sciences, humanities, journalism, engineering, and communications. Getting rid of such bright minds, including the gay ones, would simply be a horrible idea.

[gnr2391]

Respond to this video...

Last but not least, have you ever gotten to know a homosexual? I do not mean merely to pass them on the street, or exchange a very small conversation? If you haven't really had a long conversation with one, perhaps you should get to know one, before you draw insulting comments like that they are sick.

[JimmyFormerMarine]

@gnr2391 I am opposed to all threats to our national security. Homosexuals are sissys and mama's boy's. Hopefully military commanders will find another reason to kick them out now that DADT has been repealed. Thank God Patrick Murphy was voted out on November 2nd. Mike Fitzpatrick, a great American patriot, will replace him.

[dineroRM]

Googled this bitch..

didn't find any prior service in the military.

[mjwatts1983]

Take a close look at her choice of clothing.....

[hardinmichael1981]

@mjwatts1983 I noticed the pink triangle too.

[JimmyFormerMarine]

Patrick Murphy is a carbon copy of John Kerry, another fake war hero.

[JimmyFormerMarine]

Patrick Murphy will be voted out of office in 2010.

[raidersfan8]

Didn't he get like over 70 percent of the vote in 2008? Thats what I thought. Keep dreaming

[marielove1977]

Elaine Donnelly is a moron. She cannot get past her bigotry or prejudices to see the validity of this arguement. She continues to point fingers and throw up a smoke screen to dodge the truth. She's an idiot!

[jenspice27]

her man probably left her for a man- like carrie prejeans dad.... it has to be personal for these haters, cause it isnt about them... unless it is....

[derlimehouse]

May Elaine go to hell. please!

[ejeychua]

Elaine Donnelly, go to hell, you dont know how to answer peoples question. you are so stupid. you are big liar too. bitch

[Jacksonholenativ]

This wicked old witch needs a bucket of water thrown on her.

[Jacksonholenativ]

The rising generations of servicemen and women are placing people like Elaine Donnelly on the hot seat and are going to be the complete downfall of the bigoted fraud that is called Center for Military Readiness.

[narablog]

Stupid old bitch H8er cow : owned!

And Lord willing: may all her children and grandchildren be born wonderfully and fabulously: GAY.

[aleprechaun]

"It's my time, too." OH SNAP

[geniusface]

DAYUM. You go, Murphy! Smack that bitch (verbally, of course <.< cough)

[Jazzycat47]

I was also an Army officer in the 82nd Airborne (1968-1970). Rep. Murphy is absolutely right, and shares the opinion of countless other military officers - including General Shalikashvili. It's time for this stupidity to end.

[EricIndiana]

Listen to this cunts argument.

Didnt women go through the same deal?

Wasnt the military forced to cohabit with women?

ALL minorities at one point were discriminated against.

So why dont we throw out the Jews and the Blacks, and the Women, and the Mexicans, and the Muslims so that a few racist white males can be happy.

If this bitch was any dumber she would be brain dead.

[EricIndiana]

Her other argument was 1 case where a woman was assaulted by lesbians.

How many women are raped by men in the military?

More than just one I am guessing, so is the answer to throw out ALL the women or ALL the men?

Or should we allow women to join as long as they dont ask or dont tell and force them to live with the men like Joan of Arc.

I hope this bitch dies before me so I can shit on her grave one day.

[Savior20061]

Exactly, the central problem with those supporting DADT is that they throw out anecdotal "evidence" of the ONE time ONE person was fucked with. Show me a lesbian assaulter in the military and I'll show you ten that haven't touched another women at all. And DADT has nothing to do with sexual assualt anyway.

[EricIndiana]

Will someone please acknowledge the fact that this homophobic bitch is purposefully dressed so that she very clearly displays an upside down pink triangle.

John Stewart sorta pointed it out, but mistook it as ironic, but the triangle is upside down, not right side up, thus completely changing the meaning.

The upside down triangle is Nazi.

This bitch should never have had anything to do with the military whatsoever.

She dresses and addresses wrong on purpose because she is a Nazi cunt.

[elrhiarhodan]

Ironic or otherwise, it demonstrates a complete inability to be sensitive to, or truly understand the issues at hand.

[Womanizer2985]

This woman needs to be shot. Pure and simple.

[Womanizer2985]

She addressed him by the wrong name! PWN THAT CUNT!

[JackWhistle]

Wow.. I came online to see what sort of things my rep Murphy was up to. See if he's doing someing I should be pissed about. So far, nope! This guy is kickass! If he keeps it up I'm gonna donate and fight for him come next election.

[militarygirl87]

you go patrick

[christoj879]

Really great clip. He lives right near me too, pretty cool.

Also lol @ guy in background rocking.

[kc768]

Damn, you go Pat!

[john48martin]

Wow, she's using the exact words of a disgraced Republican candidate who had to withdraw for saying that when women are raped, "they should just lay back and enjoy it." So because Cynthia Yost was "attacked," all lesbians should not be allowed to serve in the military. So under this logic, because women have been raped in the military, all straight men should be exempt. The answer seems to be then that only gay men should be allowed to serve in our military. Thanks hockey mom

[STEVEGYTE]

Is Miss Donnelly saying that only hetrosexual people should lose limbs while serving in the military? Should we not commend anyone who is brave enough to lay down their life for their country? I would imagine that when a "car bomb" is exploding in a busy market in Iraq, or a "bullet" is flying past your ear in Afghanistan, the last thing you could think about is "cruising a colleague". The American Armed Forces are among the most respected in the world; professional and proud, regardless!

[Budmax305]

Anyone find a bio on this woman? I looked at the web site for her organization, but can't find any proof that she should be considered an "expert". And why is the organization getting praise anyway? They are all bigoted assholes and she's the president of ignorance.

[sammyseattle]

I'm so glad they let Ms. Donnelly testify. She really proved that it's all about bigotry and intolerance.

[woody5551]

I agree entirely with that pretty little gal, Miss Elaine Donnelly.

Your's truly,

LLarry Craigg

[xxxaabbccxxx]

The BRITISH have openly GAY MEN serving their military and they're doing just fine. BUT then again, UK is much more LIBERAL in their politics and way of thinking than the US in general.

[roblettinVa]

Thus woman is such a wacko, WHY are people like this with NO military background even ALLOWED to speak at these hearings at all..what qualifies her in any way? Just pathetic.

[bEEarCUB]

I am kind of glad she was allowed to speak on that board. If anything, she is an argument against DADT.

[cycleman7]

Don't flatter yourself.

[COLUMBINE1818]

I agree with Congressman Murphy.

[Squish888]

i'd do elaine...

[TomsFriendKake]

That bitch doesn't even have a college degree, she attended a culinary arts college. So Elaine, you need to shut your fucking blather hole, check your lipstick, primp your hair, and make my fucking dinner bitch.

[PenguinBoy92]

excuse me. britain has the greatest military, us has the second greatest i think, might be russia not sure yet

[coszz]

What great country?. America is a fascist military empire, and a toilet.

[kundananji]

yeah thst right

[riceski]

24 other countries look up to American Military.

She is a biatch and stupid.

[coszz]

NO one looks up to America.

[MachinePRISM]

Are the military homosexual or brotherhood thing, communism in USA or UK or communism in decocracy !!

[erkekler]

Hello, My name is Elaine Donnelly. I am a vile fish-cunt. I was laughed out of Congress because I make outlandish claims to justify my own prejudices, which I am too neurotic and dim-witted to realize are irrational, hurtful to others, and restrict my own myopic outlook. Please put money in my pocket so I can keep trying to harm good people and continue my whore's life of a bogus "ekspert" and turbo-charged busybody. Thank you and God Bless America. - E.D.

[MachinePRISM]

What are you blabbering about ??!! America thing ? FISH CUNT ??!!! NEUROSIS (ARE YOU a PSychotic ???!!))

[riceski]

E.D - who the hell are you - you did disable the thumbs down but your opinion here is worth no more than others - you will get nailed for cheating soon enough

[erkekler]

If you are talking to me, E.D. stands for Elaine Donnelly, the woman testifying before Congress in this video. And I did not disable the thumbs down, no one has the ability to do that, so you can take back your remark about "cheating".

[erkekler]

Calm down, bro, no gays around here want to gruel on your junk.

[bcrye]

you want a gay to suck your cock? nice response. you sound like a well educated individual, george bush jr. must be your hero.

[erkekler]

Does anyone else find it humorously ironic that the intersection of Donnelly's jacket and blouse forms a perfect Pink Triangle?

[cycleman7]

Great observation.

[learn96]

Patrick cut off her saying but I see she was trying to say that if people's way of thinking and reluctance toward homosexuals is as it is nowadays, they would feel distracted. My unit's motto was "Do the right thing in the right place in the right uniform". To enjoy love, military is not the right place and class A is not sexy either. Right thing? it's like smoking. It may be their right, but can affect others which is not desirable in a mission-oriented organization.

[tonyopp]

Go get em Patrick!

[TerryMD43]

Hey dude, read the law (654-10)—not "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." It's about eligibility. A bright, 25 year-old person may have all the qualifications necessary to be President of the U.S. but because the law states that you must be 35 years old to be President this person is not eligible. Neither is a strapping 16 year-old eligible to join the infantry. He's not old enough. The law says homosexuals are not eligible to serve in the military.

[friendofthefunk]

There's no debate as to what the law is. The point is that the law is a bad law, which is why Captain Darrah stated that DADT needs to be repealed and replaced "WITH A POLICICY OF NONDISCRIMINATION." Both the original ban on gays in the military and the DADT rule (which Bill Clinton pushed through as a "compromise" when the conservative legislature wouldn't let him end the ban) are foolish. Not letting children in the military makes sense. Not letting a lesbian in the military is unjustifiable.

[erkekler]

Do you understand that you are watching a legislative hearing to determine whether to change the law: simply saying that the law should be changed "because the law is such-as-such" is not an argument; it's the very definition of circular reasoning.

[xxxaabbccxxx]

HMMM this hearing is about CHANGING the law, not WHAT the law is. EVERYONE knows what the fucking law is.

[TerryMD43]

Mrs. Donnelly never said that gays are not qualified to serve. It's her position, supported by the law--US Code 654, Title 10--that homosexuals are not ELIGIBLE to serve. That is also the position of several Federal Court rulings, the latest being last month. You need to understand the law. Spend a little time doing so before you embarrass yourself further.

[friendofthefunk]

So she didn't say "qualified," she said "eligible." I just checked Merriam-Webster. Know what it says? ELIGIBLE (adjective): qualified to participate or be chosen. Funny, I don't feel embarrassed.

[McMonster65]

don't you find that regurgitating such prejudice embarasses you.

[cmrfactman]

I am amused at Congressperson (not man) Murphy's accusation that Donnelly had accused straight military men and women of not being professional enough to serve with gay soldiers and successfully completing their military mission. I cannot find one word, statement or inference by Donnelly in her submitted written testimony, or her spoken testimony, that supports his deliberately misguided claim. Can any of you that are commenting here find a statement from Donnelly that supports Murphy's claim?

[friendofthefunk]

Are you being sarcastic? She suggested that gays are more likely to commit sexual assaults and explicitly said that gays are not qualified to serve. Murphy's point is that sexual orientation has nothing to do with one's ability to serve honorably, a point so self-evident he shouldn't even have to make it.

[fshnt]

she has issues...

[erkekler]

She definitely should not have been invited as a witness to that hearing She is not an expert. And she does not by any means consider this issue in a non-biased way. Every one of her statements was tinged with derogatory innuendo about the alleged propensity of homosexuals to engage in misconduct.

[chimptor50]

Also if you ask ten homosexuals this question, were you ever molested or abused as a child, you will probably find that eight out of ten, if not ten out of ten, will answer yes,. Have you ever seen a so called "Gay Pride Parade"? It is disgusting and nothing to be proud of.

[friendofthefunk]

Haha are you for real? Ten out of ten homosexuals were molested? In what medical journal did you read that statistic, may I ask?

[chimptor50]

Every society that has embraced homosexuality has failed. We have become a nation of scared wimps and crybabies that cow-tow to any group that screams the loudest. The homosexual agenda is clear, they not only want the "breeders" (their term for straight people) to tolerate them but celebrate them. It comes down to this, the homosexual community is totally and utterly defined by HOW they have sex, NOT, how they are families or their relationships.

[friendofthefunk]

If the homosexual community is defined by their sexuality, then so is the heterosexual community. The gay population isn't trying to be "celebrated" by the hetero population, they're trying to live their lives without fear of persecution and enjoy the same rights as everyone else. What a scary agenda, huh?

[Budmax305]

What societies do you refer to? Do you have proof to back up your claim? Give us some names so that we can see the information for ourselves.

[juniemoon]

And in the last days it will be like Sodom and Gomorrah.

[cryan71]

This is what I don't understand about Donnelly's Center For Military Readiness. Why is it at 501(c)3? It seems they are involved in political action and shouldn't be a tax-exempt non-profit. Also, Ms. Donnelly has no experience in the military. She's a chickenhawk. From a news article interview I read, her motivation for starting her organization was to prevent her daughters from serving in the military. It is shelfish.

[Budmax305]

I would love to see that interview! And I agree...501(c)3's should not be able to push public policy issues. That isn't charity, if you ask me! She appears to me to be a bored housewife.

[AxelQC]

So, if a soldier doesn't like blacks or women in the army, we should punish the blacks and women??

[krbcan]

Wow, she really came across as an idiot here. She couldn't even answer the question properly and almost seemed to try to avoid to answer it.

And Murphy was excellent. He was all over her, and she just seemed to crumble. Which was likely going to be the result anyway because her side of the argument is really weak and frankly, just stupid.

[obietom]

Dude, Rep. Murphy is my new hero - what a great response!

[ANGLEBOOT]

Yeah if you're a fagot. Every fag on youtube will love this guy. But then again all fags love guys. That's why they are called fags.

give them a dick up the butt and they are happy campers.

[erkekler]

Troglodyte.

[ANGLEBOOT]

As in VlRXQEA0yj0

[xxxaabbccxxx]

LOL oh come out of the CLOSET already. You KNOW you want it!

[getplaning]

If Cynthia Yost had been assaulted by a group of men from her squad, I'm sure Elaine Donnely would have told her to get over it and get back to her post. Yeesh.

[WTFitsaTRAIN]

Ms. Donnelly, don't be the next contestant on that Summerjam screen

[OhioDemocrat]

Representative Patrick Murphy a representative you can be proud of.

[Watchdog202]

Ms. Donnelly is a hate crime looking for a place to happen! I hope she's not calling herself a Christian. Jesus wasn't about hate and Ms. Donnelly clearly is!

[cryan71]

According to the Washington Post, her testimony has turned the panel against DADT.

[VT16]

She forgot to mention the assault was said to have taken place in 1974, not the present day, as she seemed to be implying. Furthermore, how does the actions of a few people place a stigma and ban on all people with the same sexuality? How does sexual misconduct doom all service people based on sexuality? No one's gonna ban straight people based on straight sexual assault.

[ForEmily23]

Elaine Donnelly is a terrible person. She is a horrible example of a human being.

[sammyseattle]

Again, why is Ms. Donnelly testifying? Is it based on her experience as a professional bigot?

[seward414]

She's an incompetent fool.

[chicadee5113]

The bush administration has been a bottemless pit of incompetent fools. This hag fits right in. Sad.
