Maryland Democrat Running For Governor: Serving In Iraq War Not A “Real Job”…
Rightwing News ^ | 4/22/14 | William Teach

It’s not the first time a Democrat has insulted military members and veterans, and it certainly won’t be the last. Democrats, not all of them, mind you, but a goodly chunk show a disdain for the military. What is interesting is that a) this is Blue on Blue, and b) how the attack is phrased

A veterans group is demanding an apology from Attorney General Doug Gansler, a Democratic candidate for governor. The group says Gansler made a disparaging remark about Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown’s service in Iraq.

Gansler said he doesn’t consider what Col. Anthony Brown did in Iraq a “real job.” Gansler made the remarks during a candidates forum Monday in Bethesda before the Tech Council of Maryland, the state’s largest technology and life science trade association.

In reference to Brown, without directly mentioning his name, Gansler said, “You know, I’m running against somebody who has never managed anybody, never run anything. You know his ads are about how he was a lawyer in Iraq, and that’s all fine and good but this is a real job.”

Video at link. Normally it's fun to watch dems attack each other, but Gansler's remarks were reprehensible, to say the least.

I’d love to have a video of that slimy b*st*rd telling that to a soldier...any soldier...including any women, who had served in Iraq.

That little liberal toad would be toast. And no jury (consisting of real people - not lib’s) would convict the soldier.

Doug Gansler is a big gun grabber. Not that the other guy isn’t, but I think Gansler is worse.

I don’t know much about Brown, but Gansler is a disgusting piece of socialist sodomite filth.

Don’t get me started on what a real job is. 99 % of progressives have never had one.

Bingo. It’s a glorified popularity contest. Imagine if your high school prom king and queen were given a few million dollars and the ability to screw over your life and you’ve got a good idea of what being a major politician entails.

He’s correct, those serving in Iraq do not have a real job like elected official who after being elected f that voters, line their pocket with money and forget how to tell the truth while whining about how hard their life is and how busy thet are.

In the meantime they expect our brave heroes to protect them and keep them safe.

What a whining little crybaby. Go get your soiled diaper changed, have a cookie, take a nap and then you can play with your toys and maybe you’ll feel better.

Gansler said, “You know, I’m running against somebody who has never managed anybody, never run anything. You know his ads are about how he was a lawyer in Iraq, and that’s all fine and good but this is a real job.”

I wonder if Gansler has ever been shot at? If so, whatever job he was doing at the time was a "real" job to him.

This was discussed earlier this week.

Pointed out that Brown was basically JAG and not a combat type.

And Brown is a piece of work.
