From Wikipedia on Miss Lindsey’s illustrious service from his bio…
Just for elucidation:
"In 1998, according to the Congressional daily newspaper The Hill, Graham was describing himself on his website as an Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm veteran. In reality, he never left South Carolina. Graham responded “I have not told anybody I’m a combatant,” he said. “I’m not a war hero, and never said I was. I never intended to lie. If I have lied about my military record, I’m not fit to serve in Congress,” further noting that he “never deployed.”
In 2004, Graham received a promotion to Colonel in the U.S. Air Force Reserve at a White House ceremony officiated by President George W. Bush.
Graham served in Iraq as a reservist on active duty for short periods during April and two weeks in August 2007, where he worked on detainee and rule-of-law issues. He also served in Afghanistan during the August 2009 Senate recess."

Was Scarlett’s “flip out” a hissy fit or a conniption fit?

I say he tried to Jag-off; But more likely, he just jacked-off for the cameras as he usually does every Sunday.

Graham’s furious that the President isn’t sending our soldiers and Marines back into the Iraq because that disappoints his buddies in the Military Industrial Complex. Remember, these people have been making a mint out of sending our troops to war, and the American people are tired of it. So, quite frankly, someone should tell him to shut up already.
BTW…can we PLEASE stop with the comments equating this guy with women or implying he’s gay. I’m kind of tired of that and it is degrading to women and LGBT people. This IS suppose to be a Progressive site overall.

how about calling up the entire south carolina national guard for volunteer “boots on the ground” work. i’m sure they would be right behind his lyndsey-ness.

“This is a war we’re fighting! It is not a counter-terrorism operation,” he continued. “This president needs to rise to the occasion before we all get killed back here at home.”
Be afraid. Be very, very afraid. As we speak, ISIL is manning a navy of swimming pool floaties in the shape of octopi and dolphins, ample disguise to pass our crackerjack post-9/11 defenses undetected after rowing across the Atlantic to behead Our Pet Goat.

It was just the anniversary of what became the national anthem. And while stupidity is a big problem, there’s no line in the song about the scientific method; even if there should be. Being a moron is not the core of Lindsey’s defect as an American, especially a United States Senator.
Lindsey Graham is a fucking coward. They all are. Fear of death; fear of the unknown; fear of the other; fear of change; fear of ambiguity; fear of admitting fault; the list goes on and on. As a result, they’re ignorant authoritarian bigots that can’t be reasoned with.
Home of the brave, my ass.

I’m pretty sure that he is being compared to a stereotypical southern belle of the past. We’re all aware that few modern southern women behave so poorly. In the same vein, we’re not insulting turtles when we make fun of Mitch McConnell.

If I live in fear then I live in fear of the repercussions for continuing to drone the bejesus out of a large swath of the globe. Invading the sovereign nation of Iraq last decade was a ridiculously stupid idea. Sending our forces to Iraq since—remains a poor choice. The chicken hawk party needs to be replaced with a truly conservative party.
