Barbara Boxer Equates Serving in the Military With Serving as Leftist Kook in Congress
Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, July 26, 2010, 6:31 PM
Yes, she really said this…
Barbara Boxer told an audience this past weekend that serving in Congress was like serving in the military.
The Daily Caller reported:
At a campaign event over the weekend in Inglewood, California, Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer seemingly equated being a politician to serving in the military –- and an Iraq War veteran supporting Boxer’s November opponent is calling on her to apologize.
“We know that if you have veterans in one place where they can befriend each other and talk to each other. You know when you’ve gone through similar things you need to share it. I don’t care whether you are a policeman or a fireman or a veteran or by chance a member of Congress,” the California senator said. “[Democratic Rep.] Maxine [Waters] and I could look at each other and roll our eyes. We know what we are up against. And it is hard for people who are not there to understand the pressure and the great things that go along with it and the tough things that go along with it.”
“Barbara Boxer’s disrespectful comments underscore just how out of touch she has become after her 28 years in Washington,“ Veterans for Carly Coalition Co-Chairman Lt. Commander Paul Chabot said in a press release, in response to Boxer’s comments. “Equating the experiences of members of Congress with those of brave soldiers who have fought to defend our country is just the latest example in a failed career marked by disrespect for our men and women in uniform.”
Chabot added, “Barbara Boxer owes an immediate apology to all members of America’s armed forces.”
Oh brother.

why are individual Democrats looked upon
as if they weren’t 99.99% of ONE mind??
i don’t know about anyone else, but i will never foregt all the insults the Dems blatantly hurled at out troops w/out the slightest regret, including Obama, and not to mention what they did/said to General Petraeus..
yes i blame ALL, because none spoke out against any of them.. as a matter of fact, they gave their support.. just let a Rep try and do that.. heck, they are so dumb sometimes they even do it when they shouldn’t, gah!!
“what the fascist left have been aiming for is to “equate” good with evil.. that’s the only way they can appease their conscience in the face of the harsh reality they are trying to escape from because it does not fit in with their ideological utopian matrix.. if there is no good vs evil, then all is good even if [the] all is evil..” – bg

Amazing.!!
Narcissism must be a prerequisite for belonging to the communist party.

I don’t see members of the military embezzeling, passing laws to exempt theirselves, or getting rich from their service for their country.
When is the last time a member of Congress died in the line of duty or became an amputee?
Please inform Barbara Boxer that the military has a higher approval rating than Congress!

They have a higher standard than congress also.

Passing 2,000+ page bills against the wishes of the citizenry is tough duty, isn’t it Babs. SCUM!
gus commented:
They are deluded. Boxer thinks she is Royalty and the peasants don’t understand her.
She’s a piece of garbage. All they have left is race baiting and class warfare.
They’re done.

Anybody with half a brain can see that the quote does not support the headline in any way. This is laughably bottom-of-the-barrel.

You’re right….a better comparison would have been to organized crime.

Commie. Enough said.
Joanne commented:
Boxer is a narcissist – it is all about her. Obviously, she has no empathy for the member of the U.S. military and their families if she equates her job with that of a military member. If she can’t stand the heat, she should get out of the kitchen.

Get these Senile freaks out of office.

Barb, Barbie, Babs, B….you worked really hard to get where you are, an arrogant, self serving, condesending, treasonous, lunatic puss pocket. Your day of reckoning is fast approaching.
Pinkie French commented:
MA’AM it is time for you to retire. Please exit stage left. We the people never want to hear from you again after this next election. Frankly, move to Cuba and enjoy your life.
Opus #6 commented:
SENATOR Boxer, Ma’am, get the heck out of our house! You don’t deserve your title. How dare you malign the men and woman who put their lives on the line for our safety and security. How dare you put yourself above them in ANY WAY.
Radegunda commented:
Apparently you do have only half a brain, Not Likely #9, because those of us with a full brain can see that she believes the “pressure” of what she’s “up against” (i.e., the will of the citizens) is comparable to what police and firefighters and the military face on the job.
We already knew that Babs “don’t call me ma,’am, I worked so hard” is a conceited brat with a haughty disdain for military generals, and she’s a moron too.
Why do leftists have such reverence for arrogant morons?

Bye, Bye, Boxer. — I mean, “Senator” Boxer.
Rock commented:
What is it with this woman, every few months some utterly moronic line that ends up with her again demeaning those who serve our nation at great personal risk. While she enjoys a life of leisure on our dime. There is absolutely no comparison between her quality of life than that our service men and women must endure.
ICE #5 nailed it.
Jim commented:
By her looks, she has been shot at and missed – well, you know the rest of the saying -
Robert commented:
Joanna #12 and Radegunda #17 have hit the essence.
This self-centered egotist has the arrogance of someone who has been insulated from the real world for so long that she thinks she is in it.
She is not. She lives in a cocoon of delusion, thinking her mighty mission compares with sweating and hauling equipment, freezing and facing fire and bullets and physical danger every day.
And she prefaces it with that tripe about
everybody basically needing a group hug.
At least there she’s in the correct political party.

Memo to Barbara Boxer: One doesn’t become a congressperson “by chance.” You’ll find out soon enough that one doesn’t stop being a congressperson by chance, either.
B. Chu commented:
Ah, she said “veteran”. She did not say “military veteran” or “Iraq war veteran”. Heck, she didn’t even say “war veteran”!
Why do so many reactionaries get their panties all in a bunch?
Chisum commented:
B.Chu,
Pray tell, what type of veteran was Boxer referring to?
B. Chu commented:
Chisum,
You need to ask B. Boxer that question, not me.
C-CS commented:
babs b. needs to go-
California Patriots need to vote her out!
C-CS
Chisum commented:
B. Chu,
Oh, of course. I’m sure she meant a veteran shopper. That’s it!
I can untwist my panties now.
Maroon!
Btw, you may wish to look up the definition of “veteran”.

we know because she differentiated when she stated:
“I don’t care whether you are a policeman or a fireman
or a veteran or by chance a member of Congress” – BB
if she did not mean the “military”, then she would have used the term “veteran” in general terms, not “equatively”, which is plain ludicrous..

Thanks so much for your incredible analytical linguistic interpretation but, I didn’t ask for it nor do I think it is worth 2 cents.
Of course I’m sure that you are just as analytical when you form your own thoughts in the course of a normal conversation. Disclaimer: this is not a solicitation for response!

You don’t know the definition of “veteran” but I’m retarded?

Do you know the definition of “Internet Troll”?
You should.

Babs owes an apology to no one. To suggest that she does necessarily assumes that she possesses the ability to reason.
