I don't want someone who causes problems and then hides behind others on a daily basis to be in charge, especially when it is bullets and bombs that will be thrown around.
Isn't it just all show, amusement ? He wouldn't want any bloodshed in his show, would he ?

Most of the times it's not even real, some things are just too obvious. Like that one time when he had some little weasel who called himself Mr. Oolalah, or that time when he had a bunch of clansmen, and some gigantic black dudes who called themselves "the black Israelites", all together on one stage. That's either provoking good fortune, or it's fake. And i think it's the last one.

Maybe Springer is a very rational guy behind closed doors, who knows ? I doubt if people can ever take him serious though after being a host of the biggest freakshow on earth for so long.
