A number of Republicans have come to the defense of Sarah Palin for her use of revolutionary imagery since the shooting in Tucson on Saturday, but Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.) took it an extra step on Tuesday.
“If every person in the world was like Sarah Palin, there probably wouldn’t even be need for government because no one would be in danger of any kind,” Franks said in a phone conversation with POLITICO. “If every person were like Sarah Palin, this world would be a peaceful, beautiful world to live in.”
The congressman, who will attend the prayer service for Rep. Gabrielle Giffords on Wednesday, said that the tragedy Saturday had nothing to do with guns, rhetoric, immigration issues, political discourse or Palin.
“If Sarah Palin has one hallmark, it is her commitment to protect and defend all innocent human life -- this is something that would be so counter to the core philosophy that she has,” Franks said, adding that suggestions that Palin “had something to do with it” was an “utter distortion."

C’mere!
I had a chance to chat with Trent Franks yesterday at the AZ State Meeting. He is one of the BEST people in Congress.
Thank you, Trent Franks. What a beautiful statement of support. I hope you get a call from Sarah herself, tomorrow.
You’re one of the very few politicians with the honesty and courage to stand in public and speak the simple truth about the attacks on Sarah.
Bravo!
I do believe have found a new tagline!
fixed
See what happens if you were to tell a liberal: “If every person were like Sarah Palin, this world would be a peaceful, beautiful world to live in.”
Watch the foaming at the mouth, gnashing of teeth and ultimately a head exploding!!!!! LOL!
Did you read the comments following the article? Politico’s readers are angry and ignorant.
“If every person were like Sarah Palin, this world would be a peaceful, beautiful world to live in.”
I can understand the sentiment, and almost would agree with it.
But as a Christian, I know the statement is way over the top. I’m sure Palin would agree.
It’s good to see some in the GOP with enough balls to come out and defend Sarah, nice to see..thank you Trent Franks
I know but Rep. Franks was using an Idiom of sorts, It is an phrase that has a figurative meaning not necessarily literally - what he meant it to defend Sarah and the thought that she is a violent person as ridiculous
People use figure of speeches and idioms all the time
Glad to know this.
>> Politico’s readers are angry and ignorant.
In Liberal terms, haters.
The (few) liberals I know would probably fall off the floor, if you said such a thing to them.
Those who managed to keep their composure would either break out in a fit of psychotic laughter, or would sputter incoherently.
What Trent Franks said about Sarah Palin is such a strong distillation of truth, that it could probably cause liberals and assorted moonbats to go unconscious upon hearing it.
LOL - thanks for the ammunition.
But moose would be faced with rapid extinction.
“Imagine there’s no countries . . .”
What a great tribute. He 'gets' it. It would be nice if the other so called repubs would stand up like rep Franks. But then that might mean she would be fully exonerated in the public's eyes and they can't have that.
You're welcome ;^)
