I'm concerned about the msnbc crew lately; it seems like they're coming more and more unglued by the day. Are they just acting out for attention ? Or does anyone else think one of them might yell out "Allahu Barackbar !" and whip off the sportcoat to reveal a suicide vest ?

Now it all makes sense. They're just pissed off that she's stealing their shtick.

No, there was nothing in Cheever's post regarding improper grammar. That's one of the big things that had this nutjob torqued off--bad grammar and poor spelling-----poor language skills in general according to an interview I heard today. The idiot REALLY thought he was the grammar police I guess.

If you like Obama you liked the speech. If not you didn't like it. Obviously you totally ignored the message to slam the messenger. No surprises here.
Eye on the ball.
The original intent of the post was what is wrong with THE CROWD. Not the messenger.
I can tell you as someone that has done a lot of public speaking, it would be been extremely simple to control that crowd.
"Thank you so much for the warm greeting (so the crowds boorish behavior isn't insulted). Due to the solemn nature of this event, I would appreciate it if there would be no cheering or applause out of respect for the victims. Thank you."
But I'm not hyper-criticizing Obama. Fine. Whatever. Not a big deal.
Either the CROWD could have respected the purpose of the speech, or the President could have been a LEADER and led them to respect it. I don't even care to comment on the content of the speech. That wasn't the thread topic.

frontal lobe,
Exactly! This is what I said earlier. Read what I wrote on the first page, above. (page one)
Cordially, Kevin
p.s. NEPTUNE and ray b are especially targeted with teaching them the truth about this unfortunate debacle that Obama could have precluded. Again,he did not, because he was hearing the crowd and thought that this was a good time to press forward on his "fly by the wire" political spin.

Obama just gave a speech that made him look good, like he cared for anyone. We all know he dont give a crap about anyone except people who pat him on the back. Id have been offended if it was my relative that he made my loss a political issue. Why did he even go in the first place. Id have just had my own memorial for my family and oue friends and told him 'no thank you '. Him even attending to make a speech wasnt much better than the church group who protested.
More than likely the same people that object to him giving the speech at all would've been quite vocal in their objections if he hadn't done so. Reminds one of the old adage..."Even a broken clock is right twice a day."
Another adage...."Damned if you do, damned if you don't."

Its typical of him to butt in when hes not wanted and not showing up to things he should. He seems to always have conflicts with his vacation scheduling, lol.

Doni Hagan,
You cannot automatically presume that "more than likely the same people.......would've been quite vocal in their objections if.... done so?" Nobody is saying, not implicitly nor explicitly, about him showing up and making a memorial speech concerning the horrific act of a lone KNOWN lunatic of the Tucson area, gunning down a Congress women, a judge, a little girl and other innocent lives. Quite appropriate for a politician like Obama to do so. Rather, the objection is how Obama quickly understood, rationalized and recognized the whooping, whistling and cheering for him and continued to let it happen! He was way out of bounds and indifferent and apathetic about the human loss by letting the college students, probable intoxicated, continue with their whooping it up. All Obama had to do was tell them to be quiet and respect the members of the fallen. Obama did not do that. That is why you are wrong!
Cordially, Kevin

Just because you and a few others think the speech should have been a somber event doesn't mean everyone did. You seem to be assuming you are right and everyone else is wrong. From what I have read from those that were ACTUALLY AT THE EVENT the people there seemed to want to celebrate the survivors and the victims lives and they wanted a chance to show their pride instead of more sadness.
Sometimes people like to celebrate the good things about people after a tragedy. For example: Ever been to an Irish wake???
It seems the speech was appropriate so the Obama haters are having trouble finding fault in that so now they are attempting to say it's his fault for the emotions of the crowd. Puh Lease. Even some of the more right wing supporters on here were pretty fair in their original assesment of the event I thought but it seems it only took a few days for the fear and hate to return.
so, who is it that is saying that the crowd was exclusively democrats?
maybe we should just say it like it is: the cry babies will cry no matter what. If a democratic president is involved, in any way, the wails & moans will spew forth. hence this thread. cry....baby cry.....

Well....there IS something to be said for consistency. At least one's never caught offguard.

When you go to church, do you stand and cheer and applaud the ministers sermon or the choir ? A memorial is a solemn event.
Yes. I can only assume you've never attended a memorial held in a Black Baptist church. It's a celebration of a life, a way of making a joyful entrance into the Kingdom of Heaven.

Exactly.
It's all about respect. If this was a memorial for my family I would be very upset.
Apparently this thread is full of troll.

Excuse me? I "cherry picked" nothing. I did notice a troll, now several, in this thread.
There was a long list of people above him stating that the President gave a good speech. Perhaps 2 stating that President Obama sucked (to paraphrase).
He completely ignored the posts made, and instead took the opportunity to troll

I know that arguing with troll such as yourself is pointless as you will not use any common sense, and view anything I say as an attack. Go to town buddy, I've already said what I thought of the entire ordeal, and it seems the only people in here attacking anyone are either extreme Right, or Extreme left, such as yourself and Pyrthian. Get a grip on reality, and get some professional help before you do something extreme that everyone will regret.
I've been to some church services that were pretty rambunctious Roger. Never been to a funeral that was, tho I am reminded of the old folks saying "Celebrate a death and mourn a birth", but that's getting more than a bit off topic. And, we've all seen some New Orleans funeral processions that were not exactly somber.
This memorial was going to take place whether POTUS attended or not. As I said, I think he did a good job in his speech, and most of what he said was for the rest of the nation trying to make sense of a sensless tragedy. The media had aready taken the entire thing into the political realm, as had some politicians and some here at PFF, but IMO, the President did not. While true, he probably could have quietened the crowd down, it was their (University of Tuscon?) event, mostly (imo) college age young adults in attendance, and their reaction would /may have been different if the victims had mostly been from the university.

me too
I still love you though, and yes, I do see the title as "troll bait".
But, once a person opens the thread, and actually reads, I think they would be surprised at how level, and honest the majority is being. It's only the hardcore left or right (I call em extremists) that keep attacking the President, or the Tea Party.
You did, in all honesty, skip the posts, and just attack.
A four-minute video montage of “hate tweets” on YouTube directed at Sarah Palin and calling for her death is creating outrage on the Internet. The video was posted on Tuesday, before President Barack Obama’s Wednesday address calling for unity in the wake of the Tucson shooting rampage, which killed six and injured Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and 12 others.
The montage is set to Alice Cooper’s song “School’s Out.”
Among the tweets:
“Why couldn’t Sarah Palin get shot instead?” “I hope Sarah Palin dies an ugly death and takes her moronic hate with her.” “Can somebody please shoot Sarah Palin?” “I hope Sarah Palin gets cancer and dies in the next two years.” “Sarah Palin should be shot for her encouragement of fanaticism against Democrats.” “Join us in praying to God that Sarah Palin contracts cancer and dies.” “Sarah Palin is the single most dangerous threat to the future of the human race. Somebody bloody shoot her.” According to Fox News, “attempts to reach some of the Twitter users who posted the messages were unsuccessful.”
Twitter’s terms of service advise that “we may not monitor or control the content posted via the services and we cannot take responsibility for such content.”
One of the many posters responding to the video stated: “Such hate and yet the left feels totally justified in putting the blame on others for one idiot’s action.”
Examiner.com observed: “Will this get condemned over at the DemocraticUnderground, or ThinkProgress? Maybe.
“Will they make as big a stink as they do about Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh, and call on YouTube to pull the video and perhaps implore Twitter to pull the Twitter accounts? Unlikely they make that much noise, but it would be nice if they did.”
