The backlash against Robinson must have been enormous for this amount of backtracking one day after he said these comments

Lefty dirtball Eugene Robinson's 'apology' is not an apology. “I’m sorry” is an apology. “I certainly didn’t mean to offend anybody” means you’re not sorry you said it but you’re sorry that you got in trouble for it.

Democrats testing the waters find that the public is still not quite ready for dead babies to be a political talking point.

I certainly didn’t mean to offend anybody, especially Mr. Santorum. Of course not! Indeed, why would anyone be offended by being called “really weird,” and then being mocked over his expression of grief at the loss of his child? I’m sure most people in that situation would find Eugene’s comments knee-slappingly funny.

Left wing scum Eugene Robinson can't comprehend the fact that not everyone thinks a dead baby is trash to be disposed of.

Let me refresh you as to what’s good these days, and what’s bad: what’s bad: 1)white heterosexual men 2)families where there is a mom and a dad. both living in the same house. and married to each other. 3)people who work for a living. (see white heterosexual men) 4)Christians what’s good: 1)gays 2)gay sex 3)muslims 4)abortions 5)mocking jChristians 6)hugging trees Now you know why the libs are all over Rick Santorum for grieving the loss of his child in a manner he chose.

This is a ‘journolist’ type of attack. Once is unfortunate, twice means that this is the talking point that’s been chosen to be used against Santorum

Obama Takes Victory Lap Jan. 6, 2011 \| Amie Parnes thehill.com Two days after defying Republicans and appointing Richard Cordray to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, President Obama visited the new agency to take a little time to gloat. Making a victory lap of sorts at the independent agency, Obama cracked a joke, telling employees that he came by to help their new director move in.

What sickness has invaded our body politic that people feel free, not only to act the cretin, but to do so on national television while sporting insufferable, supercilious, self-satisfied smirks like those we have seen on the mugs of Colmes and Robinson in recent days?

Eugene Robinson seems completely comfortable lampooning a man and his wife who had experienced the worst possible nightmare for parents: the death of their child. It is one thing to say you would act differently if you were in the situation faced by Rick and Karen Santorum?; it’s quite another to deride them as “crazy” and “very weird,” which is what commentators on the left are increasingly doing, and with particular delight and glee. We are seeing how ideology and partisan politics can so disfigure people’s minds and hearts that they become vicious in their assaults on those with whom they have political disagreements. I would hope no one I know would, in a thousand years, ridicule parents who were grappling with unfathomable human pain. Even if those parents were liberal. Even if they were running for president and first lady. The third point is it tells you something about the culture in which we live that in some quarters those who routinely champion abortion, even partial-birth abortion, are viewed as enlightened and morally sophisticated while those grieving the loss of their son, whom they took home for a night before burying, are mercilessly mocked.Somehow, a dead baby doesn't seem to mean that much to them. Welcome to the culture of death.
