August,
I'm afraid I can't explain your desire to be enraged at anything that Republican politicians may say, regardless of the contextual environment in which those comments are made. You are normally a very thoughtful person who attempts to understand the topics from all sides.
I do not regard my role as an 'apologist' but as a 'contextual corrector' attempting to present 'the rest of the story', rather than those epic sound bites that our manipulative media feeds to the attention deficient population of our country. You may also note that I've provided this sort of 'service' in favor of Democratic politicians as well as Republican politicians, so you cannot properly claim a deep seated bias.
In the case of this particular tempest in a chamber pot, there is a specific difference between an unseasoned politician relating a cautionary tale from his childhood and that same politician calling a press conference and declaring that the repulsive crime of rape is a lie.
But your enthusiasm for being enraged, coupled with the media's enthusiam for out of context headline whoring, has made you a victim.
You are Paul Harvey now?
