So Van Jones apologizes for calling republicans assholes. When was the last time a republican
apologized for an inappropriate remark?

I don't remember cheney doing it when he told Leahey to f**k off?

I don't remember any apologies when many republicans in congress said Democrats were not patriotic, and were out to hurt our country, and so many other lies and outrageous that have occurred.

It is a very sad situation when the party that lost the election acts like the party that won the election, and the party that won the election acts like the party that lost the election

2. Van Jones is a bigger person than I am.
My apology would be in line with "I'm sorry the republicans ARE assholes . . . "

3. My point was more the double standard that exists. Are Democrats required to apologize?
Why isn't the same requirement demanded from republicans who blatantly lie and misrepresent?

5. Man, he told Leahey more than to eff off. He told him to commit an
impossible sexual act against himself.

6. Well, on the plus side, this is one reason why we're not like them.
Doing the right thing doesn't always score points, but it's still the right thing.

Having said that, not only would I not have apologized, I would added to it. ;)

11. Let the Republicans apologize for being assholes.
There's no shame in speaking the truth.
