This Rep. Franks(R) is really hitting the right notes on MSNBC right now

[LeftyAndProud60]

Surprising really. I liked what he's saying more than what Obama was saying. Obama didn't convey anger like this guy.

1. He's trying really hard to distance himself from the nut jobs

But once the initial shock and outrage wears off he'll be back with the inflammatory rhetoric just like this never happened.

2. i thought it was a good interview too. nt

3. All Republicans are doing now is trying to cover their ass.

[LonePirate]

4. His policies, votes and party all created the environment that fostered today's tragedy.

I don't believe one single word from the mouths of these lying, hate-filled terrorists.

5. Uggh.. Jan Brewer--- does anyone really believe she gives a damn?

I know I should give benefit of the doubt, but her stuttering/stammering statement in monotone with attendent body language makes me doubt.

6. A couple of the (R)s have to be smart enough to realize they no longer control their monster.

If they're not frightened, it's because they're too stupid.

7. He's an ultra conservative wingnut. Though I don't recall him

ever inciting violence, he sounds like Condi Rice when he said (paraphrased), "who could have known something like this could happen." Seriously? If you had listened to members of your own party calling for the violent overthrow of the government and making hit lists, maybe you wouldn't have your head up your ass right now, Trent.

8. Obama is the President. He's supposed to keep his head. n/t

17. Except for the fact that the OP defends Obama regularly. Interesting.

19. yup

they certainly assume a lot, don't they? I actually happen to agree Obama should not convey anger at this time - yet I'm regularly accused of being an Obama-hater

[prolesunited]

12. Obama -- or any president -- shouldn't convey anger at a time like this

The role is to calm and reassure, certainly not agitate.

[ClassWarrior]

13. That RW freakazoid used the expression a "free republic" about five times. Perhaps that's why you...

...oh, nevermind.

14. Maybe cause it isn't Obama's job to lose his head?

[BeyondGeography]

16. Obama was very presidential

Which, I think, fits his job description.

18. Well bully for you

though this post belongs at freeperville instead of democratic underground.
