GOING OVER THE EDGE…. Rep. Trent Franks (R) of Arizona has been moving fairly aggressively lately towards the edge of the right-wing cliff. By agreeing to appear at an extremist conference in St. Louis over the weekend, Franks further cemented his position as one of the caucus’ most unhinged members.
But if there are any lingering doubts, consider the fact that the Arizona congressman labeled President Obama an “enemy of humanity” at the event.
“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…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.”
Remember, he thinks the president is “insane.”
At the same event, Franks said Obama “acts un-American,” and “doesn’t want people to see” his birth certificate.
Wow.
