While my heart says take it to them and fight their nastiness with our own, never backing down, taking back, or apologizing for attacks for exactly the reason you say, I'm torn. I think what separates us from them is our compassion, empathy, and sense of guilt - and I for one think that all of us should have those aspects. I worry that if we were to abandon those traits, we become no better than those on the right who could care less about the effect their words and actions have.
Again, I'm so torn since I HATE how weak the Dems end up looking comparatively every time we show the slightest degree of compassion but knowing that we are doing the right thing in offering sincere apologies.
If that doesn't make any sense or is convoluted, I only can say, its been a long day!
