Worst Apology Ever?
Edited on Mon Oct-18-10 09:46 AM by kpete
Kilmeade Offers Half-Hearted Apology: ‘I’m Sorry If I Offended Or Hurt Anybody’s Feelings. But That’s It.’

Last week, Fox News host Bill O’Reilly said on ABC’s The View that “Muslims killed us on 9/11,” prompting The View co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar to walk off the set in disgust. Fox and Friends host Brian Kilmeade defended O’Reilly the next day, making an equally idiotic and “obviously false” statement that “not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims.” Kilmeade even defended that statement a few hours later on his radio show, saying it’s a fact “you can’t avoid.” But today, after having the weekend to think it over, the Fox and Friends host offered a half-hearted apology:

KILMEADE: On the show on Friday, I was talking about Bill O’Reilly appearance on the View and I said this: “Not all Muslims are terrorists but all terrorists are Muslims.” Well, I misspoke. I don’t believe all terrorists are Muslims. I’m sorry about that if I offended or hurt anybody’s feelings. But that’s it.

1. One thing I have never understood
It is my understanding that most, if not all, the 9/11
terrorists were Saudi. How come we never attacked Saudi Arabia
to stop the flood of terrorists??

I already know the answer, just wanted to throw that out there.

3. The shrub was too busy kissing and holding hands with the Saudi princes.
The so called "war on terrorism" was never about terrorism - it was all about scaring the shit out of Americans so they would vote for Republicans.
