Nobody Believes The Apologies Like This, Anyway
-
Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO) has now apologized, sort of, for saying liberalism is a hatred for God. Akin was talking about what he feels is anti-religion sentiment on the Left in discussing NBC's edited Pledge of Allegiance, and he initially refused to apologize. But he went on KMOX/St. Louis and amended his comment to say that liberals have "a hatred for public references for God," then later issued one of those "if I offended you" apologies, claiming he was directing his comments at liberalism in general and not anyone in particular. Should a politician say what he thinks, damn the consequences, or is blurting out that kind of thing counterproductive? (St. Louis Post-Dispatch)
