Rep Ackerman (NY-D) made this comment during a senate hearing today.

"For some reason, the military seems more afraid of gay people than they are against terrorists, but they're very brave with the terrorists. ... If the terrorists ever got a hold of this information, they'd get a platoon of lesbians to chase us out of Baghdad," Ackerman said, receiving some chuckles from the audience.

Will there be any backlash against Ackerman for this "insensitive" comment? Would there be if he were a Republican?

Biden was slammed for his comment. Kerry has been. Don't see party affiliation as an issue here.

Look at the context. What is there to be upset about?

Biden's is closest - he was slammed but it lasted a day or two - no one demanded he step down from office, etc. as was the case with Lott.


Welcome back BTW.

Well considering how quickly he came out with a decent response and considering his own credibility in the civil rights commmunity, he's miles apart from Lott. I see your point but previous history and affiliations with groups that have a questionable racist connection are a little distant in comparison.
