Candy Barr Insults All 300,000 Kentucky Veterans

Public service is not military service, Candy, you chicken hawk piece of shit.

But Candy can't even do public service right, the way he supports the Chicken Hawk in Chief, Cadet Bone Spurs, who got five deferments from Vietnam and then compared his Studio 54 days of avoiding venereal disease while fucking everything that moved to combat experience in Vietnam.


From the Courier:

U.S. Rep. Andy Barr compared his political experience to the military service of his Democratic opponent, Amy McGrath, a 20-year Marine Corps fighter pilot who flew bombing missions against Al Queda and the Taliban. 

Barr, the Republican incumbent who is running for re-election in Kentucky's sixth district, made his comments in a New York Times report published Thursday. 

“We both served our country,” Barr told the New York Times. “I’ve served in a position where ideas matter. My opponent has served her country in the military, where execution matters.”

The comment immediately drew backlash from Democrats. 

Marisa McNee, a spokeswoman for Kentucky Democrats, said Barr's comments were "out of touch."

"Andy has obviously lost his mind and is out of touch if he thinks serving six years as a politician is comparable to military service,” McNee said in a statement. "It’s an insult to our current and retired military members to suggest that wearing a suit and dining with bank lobbyists in Congress is the same as putting your life on the line for your country.”

American Bridge, a progressive super PAC known for giving to Democratic candidates, called Barr's comments "outright shameful."

Candy was born in 1973.  He was 28 on Sept. 11, 2001.  He kept lawyering and polishing some important political knobs in Lexington and Frankfort.

Amy McGrath was born in 1975.  She was 26 and a Marine pilot on Sept. 11, 2001.

After the 9/11 attacks, McGrath, as one of the more junior WSOs, was one of the first to report to duty at the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar base before the closing of the gates due to DEFCON 3. She was paired with a senior pilot on the flight line waiting for the order to protect Los Angeles, San Diego, and the west coast to potentially shoot down one of the hijacked aircraft, an order that did not come to pass.^[2][17]

In classic repug fashion, Candy is attacking McGrath's strengths:  her military service and her proud support of progressive values.

Ya got nothin', Candy.  And you're gonna lose to a girl.
