Maybe I'm missing the irony/sarcasm, but you realize that I am "this guy" you're referring to?
Her debit card (with its fees) doesn't support anyone-- especially not the unbanked-- including the troops. "Support" would be having the card pay its expenses from advertising, or donating the profits to some worthy cause. But admonishing people that her product is good for them, and then charging for it, and then calling her critics "idiots"... I'm not feelin' the love there.
As for the disrespect, that's why I included the transcript. She missed a valuable opportunity to discuss military benefits with her audience. Would you like to be spoken to that way in a private conversation, let alone on national TV?
No irony or sarcasm intended, as i did not associate you as being the one who wrote the articles.
I was only saying your titles are a little misleading. I agree her card with the fees doesn't really support anyone but her. however, the title didn't say that; it said not supporting the soldiers, which leads one to perceive the card was geared towards ripping off our troops only.
Again, from reading the transcript, I do not see any intended disrespect towards our troops. I do agree she should have been a little more up to speed on military pensions, but just because she wasnt doesn't imply disrespect, and leading one to believe that is disrespect is not right either. I also did not think that transcript differed from the way she has talked to other folks on her program; is she a little pushy- no doubt about it, but i do not think she is disrespectful. I did pick up her concern for the future of the pension, I think she was indicating the COLA formula could change or there could be annual freezes, which would maybe not allow the pension to keep up with inflation.
