Conservative Blogger: EPILOGUE: The Party of Tolerance Strikes Again...

On April 7, I posted a blog about how Republican speakers are being attacked by liberal hate mongers. The next day they kick it up a notch. This isn't going to be a very long blog, because I think the picture says volumes about the Left:

Now, after the shirt was scooped on The Drudge Report, the proprietor of the online store selling it removed it from his catalog, substituting in a more kinder and gentler hate shirt that says, "Dear Tom DeLay, Please go away. Far, far away. Sincerely, Everyone."

The creator, Christopher Goodwin, also issued a statement on his website:

Earlier today, I came to my own conclusion that the Tom DeLay suicide shirt was in poor taste and could legitimately cause offense to people who have had to deal with suicide in their own families. I decided to pull the shirt from the web site.

Before I was able to take the shirt down, however, Drudge had posted it on his site, and I was immediately inundated with hate mail. As I've posted on my web site, www.goodwinart.com, I unreservedly apologize to anyone I offended with the shirt. I made a mistake.

Someone pointed out to me today that, by admitting I was wrong, I've shown a great deal more character than Mr. DeLay himself, who, it seems, can never admit to any wrongdoing.

For the record, I do not wish Tom DeLay dead, and of course I never expected him to heed the shirt's request. I just want him to resign.

I will be putting another anti-Tom DeLay shirt up for sale; this one, however, will not mention suicide.

Sincerely,
Christopher Goodwin

So, he "came to his own conclusion" but it was before he could take the shirt down because he was inundated with hate mail. Suuuuuure. He also admits he's "wrong," but still sees fit to take a swipe at DeLay in his "apology."

Yet, the Left is the Party of Tolerance despite all the hate that spews forth. Go figure...
