Nothing wrong about opinions. The majority opinion is that akin is an insensitive moron and is only thinking of himself.
He messed up bigtime and needs to go away.
The herd does not think. It just emotes. Even conservatives, as this election cycle shows, are prone to emotionalism and hasty (and ignorant) decisions.
I wonder what the majority opinion would have been had the media started the opposite meme (which gets to the crux of what bothers me about this whole affair).
