Patrick McHenry calls guard "two bit"

[Willowmim]

Just another IDIOT... just like BUSH!!! He even talk and gestures like Bush!

[covertone81]

Ahh...two-bit security guard...a young soldier serving in Iraq that will stay in harms way long after the Congressman leaves and he calls him two-bit while he is fighting the republicans war. This is clearly what the Republicans really of those soldiers that are fighting their war for them.

[designzoo]

Another slimy politician

[jtw2278]

miserable sorry little chickenhawk republican....never served. never wore a uniform.....just another tough talking conservative coward

[path173]

Being Gay, he thought he was in the Gay Zone, not the Green Zone

[frostedfroslass]

i'll vote for anyone but mchenry.

[w9j15g]

McHenry lies with ease. Let's make him president!

[ctech14367]

run for congress if you can do better

[sigmonforcongress]

See our page. Lance Sigmon IS running for Congress.

[cryan71]

Hehehe... good one Wallymar. I guess noone remembers the gay porn star scandal McHenry is currently caught up in.

[takeavideo2112]

was he in the Green Zone or the Gay Zone?

[armadilloze]

Just another rethuglican chickenhawk who loves Cheney but won't enlist in his war. He's only 32, max age is 42 now, 45 for the reserves, I think. Yellow to the core, textbook rethug hypocrite. If he would have enlisted, some 4-term soldier would be home now. But he's all talk, no walk.

[messickrd]

Did he say "his bravery"? Republicans like this are shameful. That two-bit security guard has more bravery in his thumb than McHenry has in his entire body.

[63671411]

McHenry is still wet behing the ears and has alot to learn. He should be grateful for the guard who is risking his life to protect these people.

[63671411]

Patrick messed up. Shows his lack of experience or he would have respected the guard and in the end he probably saved his life.

[rpmthree]

This story falls apart as soon as he says "I went to the gym".

[barbi520]

another GOP POS. But they support the troops

even though they continually gut benefits for the troops. another Republican another corrupt, unethical hypocrite. Nothing new here. Notice there was no reaction from the GOP people in the room when he called the GI a two bit security guard!!!!Yep. they are the true patriots allright

[stpeterican]

Disgusting, wish the soldier would have let him in and that he could have enjoyed a long workout and been blown to pieces.

[timmyblaze]

My thoughts exactly.

I wonder how many morons like this are running around Washington...

[snarky10000]

McHenry should quit Congress and enlist

[macdaddync]

Not all of us Republicans are tards as some of you generalized. I for one will vote for Lance Sigmon as our next congressman. Not only because I am a republican. But a former two bit security guard and dad of two former two bit security guards. The youngest one we lost last April while doing his two bit security guard job in Baghdad. Lance was a two bit security guard for over 21 yrs. I say Hooah to Mr Sigmon, our next NC Congressman.

[phildeckard]

As a California Democrat who's staunchly opposed to the Iraq war, I wanted to say "Thank You" for your service to the country and tell you how sorry I am about the loss of your son.

Like myself, every Democrat I know, while opposed to this war, are pro-"military", specifically "pro-soldier", and very, very thankful to brave Americans such as yourself and your sons.

So, "Thank you".

I just felt this needed to be said.

[odanny]

This man, like all Republicans, is paid to LIE, his commentary about "duck and cover" at least remind us that ALL of the Green Zone is not safe. When he says "the reason I tell this story is not because of my bravery", I would of shouted "WHAT BRAVERY?"

[byrdland49]

This "two-bit security guard" is still in Iraq protecting this Rethuglican's sorry chicken-hawk butt....

Absolutely pitiful. Sir, have you no shame?

[dingoangst]

Everything is going well. Hmmm.... Rockets, ducking and covering, guy dies. Thank goodness things aren't going badly....this jackass should be in prison.

[Napoleon6a]

Republiecans have neither decency nor shame. I hope this asshole's constituents remember this in November and throw his stinking ass out of office. I'll bet McHenry was one of the Repulicreeps who was wearing the "purple heart" band-aids at the Greedy Old Pig convention in 2004. As a veteran myself, I am disgusted by the likes of McHenry. He's nothing more than another GOP "chickenshit chickenhawk" who never saw a war he didn't like--as long as HIS ass wasn't in the line of fire.

[elroacho420]

neo-con chicken-hawk.

[fitzington]

If you've ever seen other videos of this little twat you know that he can be way more annoying than this. Here he's merely being a total twat.

[thepoofer]

that "two-bit" security guard was a US soldier.

[randall2020]

Was closet Patrick in the shower alone?

[notrombones]

Righty GOPers are mostly vile trash

like this guy.

What America-haters!

[notrombones]

This two-bit rightwing Gop congressman obviously

HATES OUR TROOPS as most rightwingers actually do deep inside their vile hearts.

To the righty Gopers, our troops' lives are just "pennies in a jar" to be thrown out cheaply and spent mainly to make crony corporate contractors RICH RICH RICH.

That's the truth, America.

[airborne373]

You are a chickenhawk congressman.

[gtrumpnc]

Pat: That "two-bit security guard" was a United States soldier.

And for all you know, that "two-bit security guard" is dead now because he had to go out hunting bad guys to make sure that safe, comfy bed is there the next time you come back to gin up "war stories" to excite your clueless supporters.

[BillReef]

This is the problem with our current electoral process, And he jokes about Clinton. I make NO apology for Clinton but this dirtbag is putting down our troops. I think he needs to serve his next term in Iraq. Kind of a semester abroad program. maybe he will come home with a little appreciation for what we are putting these guys through. Stoo/Loss, extended tours and limited time out of the battlefield. These Cheney Chicken Hawks need to be dragged through the town sqare and castrated.

[tutommy85]

This neocon wicko is a piece of shit.

[lark1955]

Two bit security guard! That chickenhawk isn't fit to carry that guard's jock strap. Kudos to the "supervisor" who backed up his troop and sent the congresswuss back to his room.

[midwesttransplant]

"do you know who I am"

[TiamoInfidels]

Entitlement. Apparently it has no boundries. Why do people belive they are above security? Well it didn't work well for Cynthia McKinney very well either.

[tmo7759]

This guy will get re-elected easy. He is not only stupid but a redneck, racist. They love redneck racists in parts of the south.

[airborne373]

tmo7759 - Don't forget "closet" homosexual. The Neo-Cons love "closet" homosexuals.

[Grebrook]

I can't wait to see this on Fox News. I'm sure all of the Republicans, who have spent years accusing Dems of slandering the troops, will be OUTRAGED by this.

Oops, don't hold your breath.

[armadilloze]

Just goes to show, never trust ANYONE in the republic party, particularly on Iraq! How many examples do you have to have before you spot the trend?

Your tax dollars at rest, as well.

[djonan]

Did you hear how the room groaned when he talked about how all important politician wasn't allowed to do whatever he wanted. He can throw his tantrum and the people just follow their Dear Leader like idiots. But they need to get their war on at the same time.

[cindiloohoo]

Call me old fashioned, but I think this two-bit piece of chickenhawk neocon trash should be tarred, feathered and run out of town on a rail.

[LLO525Star]

Scum in a suit is still scum. I wouldn't be surprised if he never even went.

[bryandaja]

What a tool. What were North Carolonians thinking???

[rmtamm]

Calling one of our troops in Baghdad "a two-bit security guard" because he was following orders? What an ABSOLUTE DOUCHEBAG.

[jaysonnitro]

This guy is one of the biggest right wing douchebags there is. I'm not suprised, he beliddles those he disagrees with in every situation. Goodbye and good riddance, Patrick McHenry, you utter douchebag.

[drhouston]

Why do reich-wing GOPigs hate our troops? Where is the fake outrage from the reich-wing GOPigs?

[RonIbach]

Notice that even though the gym may have been hit, this republic-tard McHenry didn't he ask if the guard had been injured.

[HeliosLoire]

American Heritage Dictionary - Cite This Source - Share This

two-bit (tōō'bĭt')

adj. 1. Informal Costing or worth 25 cents: a two-bit cigar. 2. Slang Worth very little; petty or insignificant: a two-bit thief.

So apparently either Patrick McHenry thinks that soldier's lives are worth $0.25 or that they are insignificant. Wow.

[TaskOrder151]

The security guard was a contractor from Triple Canopy, not a soldier. They're not allowed to let anyone in anywhere w/o the proper ID. They are not allowed to recognize faces as proof of entry because those rights can get revoked. That is the main gym and no exception. Besides, hes nothing more than a glorytourist acting like a primadonna. He wasted tax money by going there. He didnt actually do anything other than travel. He's a nobody in the green zone. Why should a security contractor care?
