What is wrong with you? Apologize for what you did.
This "i'm sorry you were offended' crap is doubly offensive.
Just fuck right off Laura Ingraham.

Hope advertisers continue to flee from that ugly hypocrite.

Her non-apology demonstrates she is not sorry in the least and meant exactly what she said.

She IS sorry she is losing advertisers! She is just putting her mouth where the money is.

I was taught there are three steps to an apology.

1) Admit the wrong
2) Sincerely request forgiveness
3) Perform and act of contrition (try to correct the effect of the mistake, offer a compensation, or otherwise endeavour to not repeat the mistake)

She skipped 1 and 3 and I'm dubious about the "sincerely" part of #2.

"If my remarks offended anyone..." is their favorite.

I tweeted her ['I apologize for any upset or hurt my tweet caused'...That is the problem with sociopaths like Laura. They apologize for the hurt their message caused, not for being wrong or even saying it to begin with. That makes it insincere.] but I don't think she'll either read it or be affected by it in a positive way.

Something I've noticed a lot of Republicans lack.

Of course, she doesn't care about David Hogg or the rest of the Parkland kids (or anyone else besides herself...remind you of anyone?). She does care about the effects of advertisers leaving her show, though.

She is no doubt a Koch minion. Disgusting troll disguised as a human, imo.

Apparently

And most Republican politicians

Notice that it’s only “if she offended” and only “in the spirit of Holy Week”. Any other week, I guess, as she can be her normal lovely self.

But still, being called to account for her ugliness to a mere kid must burn.

😀

Haw haw, boner pills and gold, botany!! Why, that would suit her just fine!!

...of potato chip crumbs on my keyboard over your delightful renaming of Holy Week - brilliant!!!!

Apologies are nice and easy to utter. But talk is cheap. What really matters is what you DO, and whether you can stop what clearly looks/sounds/seems like your own natural mean-spiritedness.

Funny, though. You're a cancer survivor. One would assume that would make you a nicer person. Or maybe just a wee bit more empathetic. And not just during Holy Week.

?

they're canceling ads.

...is vile. Save yourself a few keystrokes -

I am still irked at her attacks on LeBron James and belief that basketball players need to shut up and dribble

...STFU and stop dribbling venomous lies out of her evil mouth.

have to BE someone whose opinion he respected or valued. Pretty sure that is not the case.

GIVE ME A BREAK ya fake “Christian”.....

I've never seen anyone with ashes before then, but what do I know...

that’s the start of Lent.

In this case, Ingraham saw her money walking so she decided to walk back her bullshit.

What an incredible coincidence of timing (if you believe in the Tooth Fairy, that is--not so coincidental to the rest of us).

Now that he is an advocate for change in gun laws, she got her marching orders to trash him.

Fuck that hateful bitch.

#ShameOnYou

by outing gay students in college. She's still the same horrible person, it seems.

Translation: Ow! Ow! I gotta stop this before I lose more sponsors, but I’ll lose my audience if I backpeddle. Turns out there are drawbacks to cultivating a fan base of absolutist meatheads, and I can’t rebuild with Tomi Lahren using the only parts of my act they cared about.

Wait! Thank God it’s Holy Week! Release the Smokescreen Of Piety!

anyone would react like that to a big-timer like me bashing a punk kid - Hoy Shit!"

Second, she is trying to tease him to go on her show in order to increase ratings. Pathetic.

Right wingers are dumb as shit. They will claim this was a challenge by her for him to come on. They will claim she is an amazing Christian.

Ingraham knows how ignorant her viewers are. This wording is intentional.

Like your other Fox Fellows, you are a stain on humanity. Go away.

figured out who she was.

"Get off and walk!"

She would never apologize if her bottom line wasn't being hurt.

After trashing the kids from Parkland?

It's every right wingers' MO: say something despicable, rile up the base, wait for the counterpunch, then meekly apologize as if it was all unintended.

2 of her 12 advertisers have pulled out. I hope the rest of them follow suit in protest of the initial dog whistle, regardless of the insincere and way-too-late apology.

We've got to stop these monsters from shaping the commentary.

what purpose does she serve? FUCK THAT NOISE

Not "I'm sorry for what I did" but "I'm sorry if you were offended by what I did."

What a jerk.

How quickly they turn to half-baked apologies--I'm sorry if my comments offended you; in the spirit of Holy Week, yada yada--when advertisers start closing the revenue spigot.

This is why the right-wing is so frustrated with these kids; they simply cannot pull the ordinary tricks of demonization and shaming without risking a whirlwind of criticism.

Ingraham went out of her way to humiliate an 18-year old, mocking him for 'whining' about a 4.1 GPA yet not getting in to certain schools. She's a mother herself but in the moment thought it was okay to attack a teenager for political and ideological purposes. And on this one, she was really stretching to find something negative.

As a self-indentified Christian, she shouldn't need Holy Week to do the right thing. Whatever happened to a simple apology?

I'm sorry. I should have never said that. Please forgive me.

A simple, humble Mea Culpa. To the point where the offender takes responsibility without excuse or hollow defense.

That simple humility seems beyond the True Believers.

Welcome to DU!!

Welcome aboard. I look forward to hearing more from you.

Best first post I think I've ever seen! I'm looking forward to many more from you.

Outing gay students in college. She's still deplorable.

I guess. Otherwise Laura Ingraham does not know how to be a kind person.

malicious unfiltered mouth of yours.

Apologies to real and true Turkeys worldwide.

....if it was last week or next week she wouldn't have apologized?

As I like to say, if she said it she's thinking it, regardless of her "apology".

Fleecing People through their Own Want to Have Faith... but the same ones have had the Bible perverted in how it has been taught to them.

Put the Truth Out!!!!

Why you puttin' it on the kid?

You fucked up. You should apologize for being a fuck-up.

That's how this shit works.

this crap apology is about standard procedure for Republican and Media people, when something impacts their "money".

Maybe it will do the same for Ingraham and other mouthpieces for the GOP...finally!

WTG, Master Hogg. You reacted quickly and hit her in the purse. That's the only thing they understand.

disingenous right wing apologies.

This was just an effort to save her advertisers.

She's an awful person.

Oh, wait, never mind!

...what this incident does is make people notice that they should have backed away from her show years ago, long before this incident.

horrible show.

You know, these right wingers smearing the Parkland kids are really making a big mistake. Not only are they savvy and 'back at you' but it's alienating parents and grandparents. I mean, accusing young David Hogg of being a 'crisis actor' was just stupid. And it is backfiring. These kids are game changers for our republic!

There’s genuine apology, and there’s scrambling to pull your ass out of a trash fire that you set. Laura Ingraham has yet to learn the difference.


.

They are still high fiving each other over what she said originally.
So since this was s Holy Week, to them I say "Fuck you all the same"
