There have been some troubling comments by the audiences at the recent GOP debates. No matter one's vision of the greater good, these kind of attitudes detract from the humanity in all of us.
On Texas Executions
On September 7, when asked about the number of Texas executions, there was wide-spread applause, and excited shrieks. (video)
On the Uninsured
On September 12, in response to a question about an uninsured 30 year-old patient on life support and who should pay, Ron Paul danced around the question, when the moderator followed up with "are you saying we should just let him die" several in the crowed yelled "yes!" (video)
On Gay Soldiers
On September 22, following a gay soldier's question on the repeal of "don't ask don't tell", the soldier was roundly booed. (video)
