“I’ve been defending the guy. Got a problem with that?”
******************************************************************
Well I don’t. I was defending him for several days until I learned more about him and the situation. But I learned that I WAS BEING STUPID AND IGNORANT and, realizing this, changed based upon my new knowledge. So, just as I had that right, you also have the right to be stupid and ignorant and act accordingly. And you can stay and revel in that ignorance but I’m praying that Akin, his advisors and his family wake up and do the right thing—and do it SOON.
The longer Akin delays withdrawal, the more damage he does to the people and principles he CLAIMS to believe in.
>> And you can stay and revel in that ignorance
My defense of Akin involves criticism of the irrational, hostile reaction to his original statements.
Regarding his candidacy, that’s for the people of Missouri to decide, not me.
