The NY TIMES is a pawn of Soros. Just like Obama is.

Union Leader Tweet: Wishes Disabled Vet Would Have Died, Lost All Limbs Liberals are nasty people filled with ill will. Posted by: Rick Wells Posted date: December 28, 2013 I [iframe name="aswift_1" width="160" height="600" id="aswift_1" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" vspace="0" hspace="0" style="left: 0px; top: 0px; position: absolute;" allowtransparency="true"][/iframe] Janet Vrotos is a hater with vitriol towards one particular group that is particularly nasty, unseemly and inappropriate. Three characteristics of Ms. Vrotos should be pointed out, all of which you may not find to be surprising, given the current administration’s apparent war on veterans and retirees. She is a Democrat, a Union Leader and she lives in the liberal bastion of Massachusetts. While Democrats are the incessant promoters of tolerance in all things diverse or non-traditional, they sometimes fall short when the same considerations they demand of others are placed upon them. In the case of Ms. Vrotos, the group that she has a particular disdain for is the same people who protect her right to be disgusting and to air such hateful and hurtful comments. Unfortunately, she also benefits from the sacrifice that disabled the veterans she targeted. Her twitter comments directed towards Senior Airman Brian Kolfage were: “You disabled veterans are worthless and all should have died, shame on you for fighting in a Republican war, you deserved to lose all of your limbs and I hope all veterans lose their benefits. I hope you die a miserable death you worthless fake hero. You and your family will be a burden on taxpayers for your entire life. If there were ever a case for something being completely unworthy of a response, this is it. If there were ever a comment that absolutely deserves a response, this is it also. To speak in these hateful terms towards anybody is offensive. To do so to someone who was once whole and is now disabled due to their service for her and every other American citizen is unconscionable. Her ignorance is on display through her comments regarding the Republican wars, as a Democrat administration has been managing our non-stop wars for the last six years. She makes a disparaging comment regarding disabled American veterans being a burden on society, yet supports a Democrat Party which is in the illegal alien importation business. Those foreigners, who have no legal right to be in the U.S., will likely be a much greater burden on our society than the deserving American citizens to whom we owe a debt of gratitude for our defense. Regardless of whether you agree with the war, the decisions to engage in them are not made by those who are injured. They are made by those who sit safely behind a desk in Washington. If ever anything rose to the definition of hate speech, this should be it. The definition may be so distorted that it doesn’t, but it should. Vrotos runs a Facebook page that vilifies Republicans called “Republican Family Values.” You can visit the page and comment here: https://www.facebook.com/RepublicanFamilyValues Her union (IBEW Local 2222) can be contacted at 617-929-6000, and the Fax # is 617-929-6099.
