Adam Schiffs rational, persuasive and compelling statement was followed by a Doug Collins wannabe. I was listening, not watching, but I heard rage.
What is the idea behind this? Its clearly a pattern. Nobody reasonable wants to listen to that. When you come across someone on the street acting like that you get as far away as possible.

(5,955 posts)Sekulow and the gang are only there to generate the Fux News TEE VEE soundbites for tonights shows, so that Fux News can claim they're actually COVERING the trial. Getting the wing nut talking points is easy. What's hard will be finding something that Schiff says that can be selectively edited to make him look stupid. That's where the Fux News editors really earn they're blood money.
