Lawrence O'Donnell should've asked Trent Franks about this comment

Rep. Trent Franks: Obama is "Enemy of Humanity" from Sept 29,2009

Here's what Frank said in full on Saturday, to applause from the conservative conference-goers:

"Obama's first act as president of any consequence, in the middle of a financial meltdown, was to send taxpayers' money overseas to pay for the killing of unborn children in other countries. Now, I got to tell you, if a president will do that, there's almost nothing that you should be surprised at after that. We shouldn't be shocked that he does all these other insane things. A president that has lost his way that badly, that has no ability to see the image of God in these little fellow human beings, if he can't do that right, then he has no place in any station of government and we need to realize that he is an enemy of humanity."

Franks spokesman Bethany Haley said the congressman was referring to "unborn humanity," according to the Associated Press, and should have been more clear. She added that Franks was saying the president's abortion policies have "no place in any station of government," not that the president himself should have no place in the government.

She added to the AP that Franks "was just referring to the way President Obama has set himself up as the most pro-abortion president in America's history."

People for the American Way, a liberal advocacy group, recorded and disseminated Franks' comments.


Franks is a grade A asshole.

2. While I admire O'Donnell's attempt to debate...
these assholes, they lie happily. If caught in the lie, they repeat it; thrilled to have some extra time on the teevee.

3. It's hard to keep track of all their lies, let alone call them on it.

4. Frank really got out of control tonight. All but screaming the gun
talking point at the end. "Go ahead take their guns away." as he is being dismissed. One big asshole.
