Surprise! FOX News addresses 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell'



Really amazing. To me, this is FOX News saying, "Listen, Obama. We're not gonna take you down on this one." This moves to confirm something Paul Krugman once articulated regarding the conservative establishment liking, or at least not caring about, the liberals winning on social issues because it keeps the conservative base riled up and angry.

Lately it seems like Obama is finally emerging from his bubble, but if the right wing wanted to wreck a repeal of DADT, they absolutely could. But what they really care about is protecting the banks, so they're putting this to the side and gearing up for a blitz of "Obama's so-called 'regulations' are government socialism and they're going to help the banks and hurt you!!!!!!" And of course the tea partiers et al. will fall for it.

One of the anchors called it a "civil rights issue" and "absolutely absurd".

I did bust up laughing when Col. David Hunt mentioned "how they go to the bathroom". I have no idea what that was supposed to mean, hahaha. I really don't know if he was referring to something completely different or if he thinks gay guys sit down to pee or what but whatever... He was on the right side of the substance and that's what counts.
