12. The non-apology apology.

That "apology" is shit. She places blame on those who "interpreted" her writing as anti-Semitic. She doesn't admit to using anti-Semitic rhetoric. She further blames the reader by claiming the visceral (as opposed to psychic) reaction to the "mere mention of the word Jew". Barf! She is not apologizing for her use of anti-Semitism, she clearly doesn't think she wrote anything anti-Semitic, she is apologizing because "people are too stupid and sensitive to understand she is just speaking "truthtopower" about the Jews!"
