He was pleading with his hands clasped. I heard the audeo, but you need the video to get the full effect. Thanks.

6. He even seemed afraid... |
|
wel maybe afraid is not the word, but at first he even seemed like he was expecting a backlash against him for what he was going to say, but was determined to say it anyway.
It just seemed like an incredibly BRAVE thing to do.
I mean, his career was really on the line. Everyone, even the audience was expecting a funnyman, but what they got was a DEADLY serious plea that as far as I am aware has NEVER been heard on the mainstream media.
He wasn't just having a go at Crossfire, but the whole media - and he knew he was taking on some powerful forces.
Like you I had heard the audio, but not seen it, and you're right it is a whole lot more powerful when you can see the struggle he was going through.
This was an incredibly brave act from a man who TRUELY cares about his country and his fellow Americans. I think the people on this thread who are saying 'this is old hat' and 'where have you been' should really have another look.
