[Rick-o]

It's BS like this that makes me despise the GOP more each day, if that was even possible. Repugnant-Cons? Absolutely!! :censor:

Wow, he had a chance to incite a riot and he took a neutral way out.
What a coward.

[Grace62]

Wow, he had a chance to right a terrible wrong, and punted.
What a coward indeed.

You are a member of this party. You know, the civil party.

[Grace62]

So you expect no leadership from a United States Congressman? They should not be expected to lead because some idiot in another state made an inappropriate sign?
I hold these people to high standards, so does our Constitution.
Too bad some of them fall so terribly short.

That's unfortunate. One expects most politicians to be able to handle and deflect hecklers. A stern look and a comment of "You don't mean that, do you ?" should have sufficed. Obviously he was taken aback and didn't handle it well.

[August West]

Obviously he was taken aback...

How is this obvious? What is obvious to me is that he did not express disagreement with the sentiment.
