“I deeply apologize for letting the mask of civility slip, ever so briefly, revealing my truthful nature as a hateful thug, employed by a network of hateful thugs. That was not my intent.”

Ding, ding,ding we have a thread winnah!!

He mentions shame.

If he is truly experiencing shame, he will quit his job in humiliation and get down on his knees and beg God to change him.

This type of commenting is standard operating procedure for him.

His apology means nothing because his heart is evil, dark, corrupt and unchanged.

More from his vicious hateful evil soul:

Really? What a moron, another overpaid, over opinionated individual given a platform to stir up controversy. I am at my wits end with these idiots. He should be fired or disciplined at the very least. He should be shunned from the media. What happened to this country? What has he ever done to help better our country? What office has he ever served in this country with honor? He and others like him should simply get a real job and shut the hell up and save his disingenuous apology. What a butt wipe! Not really, you can throw or flush that away!

For the sake of ACCURACY, he does in fact mention Palin by name and in the first paragraph.

For the sake of ACCURACY, I was made aware of my error in post #52 and acknowledged my mistake in post #62, an hour before you posted your scold. Apparently you missed it. Look again.

I submit that we shouldn't come to decisions based on a superficial reading of a very long thread because doing so makes 'us' appear silly.

To borrow a line from an old folk song, I wouldn’t believe what Bashir said if he were hanging from a gallows high, saying “I can’t come down”. Thanks KC_Lion.

[GOPJ]

I wonder who wrote his apology...

[DeltaZulu]

Wasn't a scold. It's common for multiple posters to pick up on the same mistake and offer a correction especially when threads span multiple pages. But since you mock my very valid point about saying things that are easily falsified and equate my error to yours let's contrast.

You missed critical information contained in the FIRST paragraph of the posted article.

I missed critical information in the 62nd paragraph.

Given the contrast in those errors and the fact that you took my original post as a "scold" I'd say you have issues with proportionality. I'm not your enemy.

This was not an apology as the weasel word construction of his statement show:

I wanted to take this opportunity to say sorry to Mrs. Palin and to also offer an unreserved apology to her friends and family, her supporters, our viewers, and anyone who may have heard what I said.

He wanted to (only to save his job) but didn't. Typical.

Here is what he is sorry for, and it's just a cover his butt to keep from getting fired or even reprimanded. Bringing shame on the shameless? Ironic to say the least, all of MSNBC is shameful.

My words were wholly unacceptable. They were neither accurate, nor fair. They were unworthy of anyone who would claim to have an interest in politics, and they have brought shame upon my friends and colleagues at this network, none of whom were responsible for the things that I said.

No, but many others on the network have done shameful things also, starting with Al Sharpton...a lying leftist racist who will go to any means to lie, accuse and distort to get the results he wishes.

A card carrying leftist racist race pimp like Jackson.

Reminds me of Jackson being Bill Clinton's spiritual advisor when he was taking advantage of a subordinate for sex. All the while Jackson's mistress was pregnant!

You didn't need to do it for your colleagues Bashir they have NO shame.

Isn't Bashir that British "journalist" that was kicked off the air across the pond? And here they describe him as respectable. Please.
