What about Bob?

The Jets' kicker is going bonkers on his Twitter account in response to an item on Deadspin that referenced his appearance last night on the Sean Hannity Show on Fox News.

Here's the passage from the Deadspin post that has Feely, an unapologetic Republican who is very much into the news of the world, Tweeting like cracy:

"You see, the New York Jets' kicker isn't just one of those dumb jocks who misses three field goals in one game. He follows the news and has a working knowledge of history. He went to the University of Michigan, and he graduated. Also, he thinks Barack Obama is really a socialist Muslim whose policies are meant to cripple the country, and for some reason, Feely isn't a fan. (Or, you know, something like that.)

First off, Feely categorically denied that characterization of Obama, which Deadspin already posted.

And now, a sampling of Feely's tweets in response to the Deadspin critique in response to his Hannity appearance:

"The mistakes of our past should not inhibit us from seeking the right path going forward. Through mistakes we should learn and grow."

"I agree with you who were frustrated by the Left degrading President Bush. You can disagree respectfully and impersonally."

"@craigstelle I agree fear is not a true motivating factor, but if you don't stand for something you will fall for anything."

"We have always stood on the side of freedom and supported individual liberty."

"The President should be proud of the accomplishments our country has achieved throughout it's history and willing to defend that greatness."

"I always will respect the President of our country even if I disagree with his policies or politics. He is our President."

"I have never said I believed Obama to be a socialist Muslim. It does bother me h's is unwilling to defend America's greatness."

"@labich sorry that my love for our country and desire to see it continue as a beacon of hope around the world offends you."

My take on Feely: Well, I'm not going to get into his politics, because that's not what I'm here for. But I do love the fact that he's a professional athlete willing to speak his mind. And defend what he says when questioned about it.

Not only that, but Feely is a guy who studies the world around him - the sports world and the real world.

Wish there were more like him in sports.
