Stop Demanding Apologies
Dan Webster, who is running in Florida against the detestable Alan Grayson, was asked a question that has become typical whenever one side is unfairly slimed by the other : When asked if he was seeking an apology from the Grayson campaign, Webster said, “No, I’m not. It is the way he runs his campaign.” Exactly. It drives me nuts when someone does something intentionally insulting, like Jerry Brown’s people calling her a “whore”, and then the aggrieved party demands an apology like Whitman did. Why? If the person was actually repentant about what they said they’d offer an apology freely and without prompting. The fact that an apology must be demanded from them is proof to me that they’re not sorry at all and in fact said exactly what they mean.
