What about Stephanie Herseth?

Is she still ahead of the GOP candidate after Johnson's "taliban" comment? I hope we don't lose this seat because he decided to be an idiot. We need to pick up as many seats in congress as possible.

1. The only idiotic thing Johnson did was to apologize.nt

[BayCityProgressive]

2. it was dumb to apologize

but it wa salso dumb to say it right before an election in a Republican state. he should have known they would do this. I do not disagree with what he said.

3. Did he apologize. Damnit, I agree with you then, timefortruth

When the FUCK did a Filthy Bushevik EVER APOLOGIZE for calling us all welfare cheats, lazy, unpatriotic, terrorist-lovers?

6. This is what Johnson said:

"I am proud of the support I have enjoyed from Republicans across South Dakota. In a state like ours, you have to be able to reach across party lines to find consensus. If any Republicans were offended, I apologize."

"<The remark> was directed at the small but vocal group of national Republicans that attacked my patriotism and compared me to Saddam Hussein and Usama bin Laden at the very same time my son was defending our nation in Afghanistan."
