Jerks in History

[Rick Smith]

The weeping over the slave issue has become tiresome in the extreme.

Sumner was the coward. To make vile and disparaging personal remarks in regards to other men when he thought he was safe to do so just because he was on the senate floor was a cowardly mistake. He was warned before hand by Brooks to back off and he chose not to. This was a mistake. He was asking for it and he got what he asked for.

Some people have absolutely no understanding of the time in which Brooks and Sumner were living.

As Joe said, Sumner had a gator mouth and a canary backside.
