Trent Franks Clarifies Remarks About Obama Being "Enemy of Humanity"

Bethany Haley, spokeswoman for Franks, said the congressman was referring to "unborn humanity" and should have clarified his statement.

But....but....but I thought there was no distinction between born humans and unborn humans. So if Obama's an "enemey of unborn humanity," he's still an "enemy of humanity," right?

Difference without a distinction, or distinction without a difference?

I'm still waiting for a solid reason why a woman should be forced to carry a fetus. Especially under extreme circumstances. There is no proof whatsoever that the fetus is alive, or would live without said woman.

Disclaimer: Yes, I realize that after 37 or 38 weeks, the baby has a chance of making it on it's own. I was under the impression that third term abortions are illegal, and feel that if they aren't somewhere, they should be. But before that point, I stick to what I said above.

I am so sick of living on the same planet with these reprobates

I do appreciate the occasional Republican foolishness. It adds entertainment to an other wise boring day. I love how they always try to clarify what they are saying, but only dig themselves deeper.

Also isn't funny how a Republican can say this and essentially get a away with it, but if a Democrat suggests even slightly that women should have a right to be covered by a legal medical procedure which the Supreme Court recognized as a right they are labeled the most outlandish things.

Politicians don't care about the unborn (except for a few certifiable, holding their breath for the rapture whackjobs). They care about the money and power they can gain for themselves and their corporate donors. Pandering to people who care about the unborn is an easy stepping stone.
If there was a button they could push to ban abortion, they wouldn't do it.

"Clarifies"? I do not think that means what you think it means.

Hearing Mr. Franks, I wish we could make birth control retroactive.

Like a good soldier, Franks is doing his part in executing the GOP Playbook:

1. Use apocalyptic rhetoric that exacerbates fear, bigotry and extremism among the uneducated and intolerant.
2. Counter any liberal criticism of your inflammatory calls for action by saying they can't take a joke or you misspoke.
3. Keep turning up the heat and act surprised when somebody finally heeds your calls for extreme action.
4. Be sure to maintain you were only speaking figuratively and you are being unfairly blamed when violence occurs.
5. Keep your celebrations behind closed doors.
