How did I know that it would be Mica who spoke about the school slaughter and not

[malaise]

that coward Joe Scum....special message coming up from him - who cares.

[malaise]

1. And now he plagiarizes the President

Ah well

[HipChick]

2. He is such a two face..

[malaise]

3. Well he is abandoning his own ideology this morning

About fugging time. Yet again we were right and he was wrong.

Fugg you Joe Scum!!

[HipChick]

4. let's see how long this last..

[malaise]

5. Well he does sound sincere this morning

He's terrified at the results of his high NRA rating

[AngryOldDem]

8. He's reaping the whirlwind.

I do give him credit for waking up and realizing what years of enabling attitudes and policies toward guns has wrought.

[renie408]

10. Thank you.

That was a pretty humble speech Joe Scarborough gave this morning. And who gives a rat's ass about politics right now?

[eShirl]

6. "It's time to turn over the tables inside the temple."

And don't stop with the NRA table.

[malaise]

7. Grover, ALEC, the NRA - all of them

The Reagan era is over - bury it once and for all - back to civility and down with green and self-indulgence.
The public good supersedes all that BS

[renie408]

9. Wow. I am pretty disappointed in the DU. This initial response is disgusting.

Hey, politics as usual, huh? Glad to see MY side, the side that I thought would be the first to come to the table has their middle finger up. That's the way to be strong. YOU GO, YOU LIBERALS, YOU!!


I don't give a fuck what his politics were yesterday or what they will be tomorrow. God, you frigging idiots. Since he doesn't agree with you on everything, you are going to toss him away when he starts to agree with you on something tragically important.

[eShirl]

11. Whoa. Decaf is your friend. n/t

[renie408]

16. I just watched a really sincere speech voiced over the images of

smiling children who are now dead given by a man who said, "I was wrong."

I got on here expecting to see people cheering that one of the NRA's biggest cheerleaders had done a total 180. Instead, the first post was this one and the first responses were dog piling.

Nope. I think I had it pretty much right.

[eShirl]

19. Not saying you were wrong, saying your response was over the top.

The whole country could use a chamomile tea and a relaxing foot massage.

[renie408]

20. Maybe.

I have been feeling a little over the top for the past couple of days. I just expect better from 'my' side. Knee jerk reactions do not advance anything no matter which side they happen on.

[malaise]

12. He was with the NRA up to Friday this time

Ignore their politics to your peril.

[renie408]

13. Well, he is not with them this morning.

And pretty damn strongly at that.

Did you even hear it? Or is your knee just jerking?

[Buns_of_Fire]

14. He's a father, with children around the age of the victims.

I think they're handling it respectfully. No bombast (although I really didn't expect it this morning). This must not be allowed to happen again...

[rateyes]

18. +1000

[DrDan]

24. your response was not at all over-the-top as suggested

you are spot-on

[OldDem2012]

26. Your anger this morning is well-placed. nt.

[rateyes]

15. No pun intended, but way to jump the gun...

Thats right, dont actually LISTEN to what he says before jumping on him.

He was spot-on with his remarks.

You should self-delete this embarrassing thread.

[renie408]

17. Thank you.

[Atman]

21. +1

Yup.

[PearliePoo2]

23. I am surprised by Scar's 180 and his emotion and passion this morning.

I knew by his first few sentences that he too, was "going there".
I agree, maybe just delete this OP and start anew.

[DrDan]

25. yep

[OldDem2012]

27. Agree 100%. nt.

[DrDan]

22. it was a good message - you should have listened
