re: #266 Buck

He explained it multiple times.

I have quoted that explanation many times in this thread. Here it is again:

With regards to the comment he made about the President being a racist:

“It shouldn’t have been said; it was poorly said; I have a big fat mouth sometimes, and I say things, … and that’s not the way people should behave, and it was not accurate,”

Somehow some people here (who have said things that they regret, and would hope people would forgive and MOVEON) don’t seem to consider that important.

There is no obligation to forgive people when they apologize. We aren’t all catholic priests in the confession booth. It is often reasonable to dismiss an apology as bullshit, especially when the person in question REPEATEDLY says things very similar to the statement for which he was criticized initially, both before and after the “apology”.
