Dear Ms. Fowler:
I read on salon.com that you had "commented that John McCain had picked a running mate 'whose primary qualification seems to be that she hasn't had an abortion'." Then, further down in the article, I read your clarification/apology.
Stop apologizing! You were right the first time and you should have stood by your words. It was funny and while hyperbolic, it was an accurate metaphor for the realities of Republican politics.
Democrats should stop apologizing. Republicans routinely torture and murder the truth, and are never even called on it, forget being expected to apologize. It's time Democrats met their standard. This "above the fray" b.s. will cost us election after election. The party needs people who will say what's on their minds and stick to it. I was amazed and pleased when I read your statement, but then I read the update, and dismay set in.
The Democratic Party in South Carolina is the biggest underdog since David, and it's time we fought like underdogs: with ferocity and an attitude that we have nothing to lose, because in this state, it's true.

UPDATE: Got a response: "Thanks" (with no punctuation--and no comment)
