(20,992 posts)how much hate some people harbor. They are blinded by self-righteousness.
Than you for your work with the VA vets. Few realize how much it means to them

(20,776 posts)I wondered whether or not I could flag him.. but I am sure the Jury (These days) would come out with a LEAVE IT, status. I suppose he has a right to say that crap, despite what we think and know. I do not like these kind of Haters..who have no clues at all. It makes me sick. He would tell me to quit my job and quit wasting my time. He is no better than the Republicans who said...you guys should have never come home in the first place, and that you all should have died over there.
America is better than that. DEMOCRATS should be better than that.

(3,889 posts)The results were kind of heartening:
"A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Wed Aug 28, 2013, 06:43 PM, and voted 4-2 to HIDE IT.
Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: Volunteering to join the military to defend the nation so that 99Forever can spew their bile is not being a tool of the 1%. I have yet to meet anyone in the military who wanted to go to war.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT and said: I seriously believe that most young people enlist because they are poor, uneducated, lied to and don't think that they will end up killing people. They are promised jobs in "communications' or some "stateside" office job. I feel truly sorry for 99% of our vets. of course there are some very bad apples, but that happens in every vocation.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said: Ugly comment."

(20,776 posts)I seriously did not think people would care enough to ask for a HIDE. This kind of disgusting behavior is reminiscent of Republican Hate speech, coming from the likes of the Right wing. Many of those kinds of comments seem to constantly slip by unchallenged, or at best left to LEAVE IT ALONE.
Thank you again for that. I love you guys, and as of next Saturday, I am going to bake an extra set of Cookies, to go with that free Coffee they give out to waiting patients!!

(3,889 posts)And I know what you mean about the juries. I alerted on a post once where I felt police officers were compared to Nazis. The jury voted to LEAVE IT ALONE. One of them commented: "So?"
AsahinaKimi
(20,776 posts)That seems rude to me. Its like they are telling you, to just STFU. I do not understand how people can be so heartless, and in compassionate about issues dealing with their fellow Americans. This idea of, "Screw them..they chose to go to war, they deserve what they get" is so juvenile. I have heard some right wing comments that have just made me so angry, and to see it crop up here out of Democrats is just infuriating. Democrats are better than this, and we all know it.
