Reply #50: No, wrong. You are owning what you said, [View All]

and admitting that it was wrong. Is there ANYTHING about this guy that is saying he is sorry, or regrets these views?

I don't think there is. But if there is, I am open to reviewing it and being corrected (of course).

So by that logic, why should we NOT judge him by what he said or has happened in the 'distant past.' All anyone has in these cases is what the person has done in their life toward preparing for this particular position.

The fact that you use yourself in an argument about this guy, doesn't seem appropriate. It really isn't the same thing at all.

Why do you feel the it's necessary to defend the past of someone that doesn't feel the need to defend his views at all?

I'm frankly a bit uncomfortable arguing (or debating) with someone that could defend a racist, sexist, civil rights destroyer at any level. Sorry--just being honest.
