Im not even sure what to say.......how do you take "Our troops should go fuck themselves" out of context? Thats a very straightforward and decisive way of saying what she wanted to say. This isnt like when the conservatives took obamas "you didnt build that" speech out of context, this lady literally meant she wanted our troops to fuck themselves.

Her most recent remarks come after a vote in the Committee to improve education benefits and mental health services for veterans of all service branches. Lopez opposed the bill and was the only no vote, telling reporters that she opposed it on constitutional grounds. When pressed further, she admitted however, that “she hates the fucking constitution.”

Minutes after making the remark, she told reporters that she misspoke and didn’t mean to use profanity.

“I only voted no on the bill because I support the troops, but don’t support the war,” Lopez said. “Besides, if these numbskulls would quit enlisting, we wouldn’t need to support the stupid fucks. That last part’s off the record, by the way.”

Oh come on, she did say it was off the record

That piece reads like an Onion article.

Edit:

The Duffel Blog serves the men and women of the US Military with a daily dose of military humor, funny military pictures, and faux news. We take an interesting and funny look at military life. We focus on veterans, military stories, defense, politics (sometimes) and life on base — with a comedic twist. We are in no way, shape, or form, a real news outlet. Just about everything on this website is satirical in nature.

YHBT. HAND.

She should win an award for being stupid.

She has since apologized for her remarks, saying that she “just went full-on retard with what she said.”

*EDIT* edited out my own stupid remark

That's the kinda shit you make lawsuits about. I didn't think you could just make the stuff up.

From the comments:

For all those that took this as serious journalism, instead of satire, you are officially too stupid to use the internet. Turn off your computer and sit in a corner now.

 

[Charles Kozierok]

The problem isn't stupidity. It's confirmation bias.

Self ownage by the OP.

Here's another headline- from duffel blog-

It's satire. Did you look at other headlines on the blog? Did you read the full article? Did the idea that a middle-aged senator would talk about fleshlights not make you a little suspicious?

What I really want to know is where did you get the original link?

I am mostly interested in Matt's source since he was the op though.

Was it a frantic IM asking, "ZOMG you won't believe what this evil Dim said about the troops"? That's the kind of thing I'm wondering about.

I'm surprised everyone would want that.
