You have got to be kidding. Durbin's intentional calumny in no way compares to Bennett's accurate & carefully caveated statements. Durbin should have resigned & been universally shamed for his outrageous, slanderous remarks. Durbin offered a pathetic non-apology apology. Bennett has absolutely nothing to apologize for. If anything those who have attacked Bennett should apologize to Bennett. And at the time of Durbin's calumnious outburst, Guantanamo was about unsubstantiated allegations about a koran being flushed down a fricking toilet by a left wing journalist. How the hell do you get from unsubstantiated allegations to direct comparisons to Nazi's? Hell, all of the allegations about turned out to be complete bunk! There isn't the slightest of connections whatsoever between Durbin & Bennett here. NONE! ...."A politician, actually anyone constantly in the public eye, must seek to avoid saying things that can be taken out of context, or where it is necessary to grasp the whole statement so the public is not put off by a seemingly disturbing part.".... How many times are you going to run that load of bull up the flag pole? The MSM, the DNC & libs like you relentlessly take conservatives words out of context & try to hammer them with it every single day of the week. Once again you are saying that no conservative should ever utter a word in any public forum "to avoid saying things that can be taken out of context". That is completely ludicrous on its face. And what's this "or where it is necessary to grasp the whole statement so the public is not put off by a seemingly disturbing part"?? Are you saying libs are wholly incapable of grasping an entire sentence or paragraph in one sitting? Or is this more of the same stifling of free speech your whole argument essentially advocates? ...."And having got caught making an error of judgment, he should know that it is more expedient to apologize and move on.".... What error of judgement should Bennett apologize for?? I fail to see any error whatsoever that necessitates an apology. Perhaps you can identify the specific error or errors of judgement for me. ...."A public figure cannot survive by telling a chastising public how wrong they are.".... This is insane. That happens hundreds of times every single day of the week by all manner of public figures who thrive on chastising large swaths of the public as to how wrong they are. In any event, Bennett wasn't telling the public any such thing. And even if he would have been chastising the public, why should he apologize if he said nothing inappropriate or offensive? ...."a smart politician will not try to be righteous, but will apologize and ostensibly kowtow to public sentiment.".... How does that apply to anything Bennett said? Please be specific. You seem stuck on righteous lately for no credible reason. Kowtowing to public sentiment seems to be the tactic libs were shooting for with their utterly baseless attacks against Bennett. It didn't work. Libs were wrong as usual & Bennett wasn't buying into faux outrage.
