I think to people such as his followers there is a certain appeal in seeming like a man of action, unafraid of confrontation. I can certainly see the appeal in that, though I am left of center. He wasn't terribly inarticulate in his anger, either; had it been me and I decided to lose my cool, I would have been stammering and drawing blanks.

Just playing devil's advocate, rather than hopping on the bashwagon.
