If you thought the violence and rioting in and around Ferguson, Mo., last night was unbelievable, President Obama’s take on the effectiveness of his “peaceful protest” speech will blow your mind. According to White House Deputy Press Secretary Eric Schultz, the president feels his remarks to the nation were worthwhile since “most protests were peaceful.”
@markknoller @Schultz44 um what? over 10 stores burned to the ground, hundreds of shots, cars burned, assaults, etc. #OutOfTouchAgain

@markknoller @Schultz44 Check the split-screen tape. It doesn't lie.
Peaceful? Peaceful doesn't require firefighters or tear gas.

@markknoller I try not to swear, but is he really that F'n dumb. Or is he saying he thinks you reporters he's feeding BS to are F'n dumb?

@markknoller @Schultz44 The only explanation for this is that looters stole the White House Magnavox and he got his news from NPR on radio..

@markknoller @Schultz44 That is CRAZY, they say peaceful, maybe they need to go down there and hang out. Soo Disconnected.

@markknoller @Schultz44 Does the WH exist in a bubble, completely apart from reality? Did he not see what happened and is still happening?

@markknoller @Schultz44 I have said for awhile that obama is out of touch with reality. If this does not prove it I do not know what would.

When dozens of businesses and cars are burnt up in a town of 22,000, it cannot be a "mostly peaceful protest". @markknoller #Ferguson
