In reply to the discussion: MSNBC Chief Phil Griffin Apologizes for ‘Outrageous’ Tweet; Dismisses Responsible Person [View all]Jack Rabbit
(45,984 posts)The GOP has morphed from a conservative party that worried about taxes being too high to a far right party for whom any taxation (especially on the upper income brackets) is too high and appeals to the kind of reprobates who would have a problem with somebody else's relationship with someone of a different race, a different religion or the same sex.
The tweet in question didn't mention the GOP by name, just right wingers. If it had substituted Republicans for rightwing perhaps an apology would be in order, since not every Republican is Klansman or on the staff of Bob Jones University.
As it is, Mr. Griffin apologized to Mr. Priebus, who by demanding an apology made a tacit admission that the GOP appeals to racists, misogynists, sectarian bigots and others who claim to love America while hating most Americans.
Having been half of a racially mixed marriage for twenty years, one which produced two bi-racial children who are now adults. Now that Mr. Griffin has apologized to Mr. Priebus, I would like to see if he apologizes to me.
