To Ed, and to all other Democrats and progressives: My advice: NEVER APOLOGIZE TO THE ENEMY.

[backscatter712]

Are people upset that Ed used a naughty word when referring to a right-wing sociopath?

Get over it.

The right wing already understands the point I'm trying to make.

Do you think Laura, or anyone else on their side of the aisle will sincerely accept any apologies we give them?

No, they use them as weapons. What they want is for Ed, and every other Democrat to make the perp-walk before them and submit to ritual humiliation.

Apologies and forgiveness are tools of reconciliation, when two sides legitimately settle their differences and find common ground.

That is something that the GOP is completely and utterly unwilling to do. They oppose things out of spite, just because we support them. They want to dominate us, and they want the ritual humiliation as a tool of domination.

So any apologies we make only make us vulnerable to attack, which is why we should never apologize to the enemy.

The correct response for demands to apologize to Laura Ingraham for calling her a slut is "You have absolutely no intention to make a sincere reconciliation, so no apology will be forthcoming."
