The Non-Apology
I recently received this e-mail and I thought it was very interesting. I think it was interesting in the first place that one our senators would make the stance that our troops are acting the same as Hitler’s men did. I thought the statement was very outrageous so I followed through with the support of an e-mail to the senator.
Here is the response I got from the AFA…
Sen. Dick Durbin has apologized for his remarks comparing American troops to Hitler, Stalin and Pol Pot. Durbin’s apology came after approximately 140,000 AFA On-Line supporters sent e-mails directly into his office calling for an apology.
Earlier, Durbin had adamantly refused to apologize. However, when the e-mails just kept coming, on Tuesday the senator went to the Senate floor to apologize.
While there were no doubt other factors which played into his decision to apologize, the only new factor following his refusal were the e-mails.
Thanks for caring enough to get involved. I hope you will continue to get involved in the issues. You can make a difference!
Sincerely,
Don
