In a video captured by CREDO Super PAC at a campaign event in Addison, Ill., Walsh pointed to Fluke's Wednesday evening speech at the Democratic National Convention, calling her remarks "embarrassing."
Think about this, a 31-32 year old law student who has been a student for life, who gets up there in front of a national audience and tells the American people, I want America to pay for my contraceptives,'" Walsh told the crowd. "Youre kidding me. Go get a job. Go get a job Sandra Fluke.
Fluke weaved that experience into her DNC speech, explaining that this presidential campaign presents "two profoundly different futures" for women, with one "look[ing] like an offensive, obsolete relic of our past."
Walsh saw the address differently, telling voters on Saturday that Fluke's remarks were offensive in light of the economic struggles many Americans are facing.
"Weve got parents in this country who are struggling to buy sneakers that their kids can wear to school that just started," Walsh said. "Weve got parents up and down my district who are barely keeping their house. And, and, and, we have to be confronted by a woman, the Democratic Party this is what they stand for. They're going to put a woman in front of us who is complaining that the country you, me and you wont pay the 9 dollars per month to pay for her contraceptives."

Note: I only made it half way through the video clip before I had to turn it of for rear the throbbing vein in my forehead would burst. Please tell me that Tammy Duckworth is wiping the floor with this asshole.

Don't you have anything of value to say asshat ?

I find it offensive that you don't pay your child support and vote against any economic stimulus and job creating legislation that will help your constituents pay for their mortgages, and then turn around and then have the brass to tell me that my health care shouldn't cover my contraceptive plan.
PS: Joe Walsh from the Eagles called... he wants his name back.

(12,904 posts)6. I can't stand this jackass.
And is he sitting on the back of that booth, with his feet on the seat? How very rude he is, with his ass seated at the, I guess, "crowd's" eye level, and sitting on that business owner's property that way. Couldn't he have just sat down with those nine people, and spewed his distasteful remarks conversationally?
And his mama should have told him, like mine did, that it's bad luck to put your feet on the seat. He will lose.

(28,930 posts)7. He should be in jail for the way he treats his children.
He is a fucking NUT CASE! Let me think of a few other words to describe him: Asshole, fuck-face, piece of shit, dick head, ass-hat, dog shit, son of a bitch, scumbag, butt wipe! I could go on all night long!
