Kennedy isn't the only democrap who should be ousted...What Johnson said is terrible, and these democraps should be held accountable! Johnson issues statement on 'Taliban' remark SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Sen. Tim Johnson, D-S.D., on Tuesday said he apologizes if any Republicans were offended by his weekend remark that compared what he had labeled a segment of the Republican Party to the Taliban. At a Sioux Falls get-out-the-vote rally for Democratic House candidate Stephanie Herseth, the senator had told the crowd Herseth will win the special U.S. House election June 1. "And how sweet it's going to be on June 2 when the Taliban wing of the Republican Party finds out what's happened in South Dakota," Johnson said on Sunday. On Tuesday, Johnson issued a statement: "I am proud of the support I have enjoyed from Republicans across South Dakota. In a state like ours, you have to be able to reach across party lines to find consensus. If any Republicans were offended, I apologize. "It (remark) was directed at the small but vocal group of national Republicans that attacked my patriotism and compared me to Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden at the very same time my son was defending our nation in Afghanistan." Johnson aide Julianne Fisher said the attacks on Johnson had come in a TV ad from an outside group during the 2002 U.S. Senate campaign. Larry Diedrich, Herseth's Republican opponent, had asked for an apology. He said his supporters are young people, retired people, farmers, business people, working people — not terrorists. "To me, that is a very emotional issue, and to have someone of Senator Tim Johnson's stature talking about my supporters as being terrorists is somewhat flabbergasting," Diedrich said. On Monday, Herseth said she didn't think Johnson used the best choice of words. "I think Senator Johnson can speak for himself," she said Monday, adding that what Johnson said "wasn't the best choice of words, though." Randy Frederick, state GOP chairman, said Johnson's statement was "repulsive" and "an attack on the character of all Republicans in South Dakota." Johnson's statement was anti-Christian, said Rob Regier, executive director of the South Dakota Family Policy Council. His group is not affiliated with either political party. "Sadly, he (Johnson) and Sen. (Tom) Daschle and Stephanie Herseth have turned their backs on God's church on key issues such as infanticide, religious freedom and homosexuality. Their contempt for the Christian world view reveals an ugly double standard in the liberal mantra of 'tolerance.'" The comment, although controversial, probably won't influence the June 1 election, said South Dakota State University political science professor Bob Burns. "I think the people who are most offended are the ones who it was most directed at, the Christian fundamentalist wing of the Republican Party," Burns said. "That wing of the Republican Party is going to be voting for Diedrich anyway. I don't look for it to have a big impact."
