Joe Walsh (scumbag-IL) criticizes Tammy Duckworth for talking about her military service

"Now I'm running against a woman who, my God, that's all she talks about. Our true heroes, it's the last thing in the world they talk about."

-- Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL), speaking at a town hall meeting, criticizing opponent Tammy Duckworth (D) for talking about the military service that left her a double-amputee.
