I like to call what the Oklahoma Republican Party did when they got caught red-handed comparing those on Food Stamps to wild animals a non-apology apology. See, they aren’t sorry they posted the message below on their Facebook page. Nah, they’re just upset they got caught and that we all made such a big deal out of it.

    If we quit playing these slackers and force them to actually work to support themselves, they then will develop empathy and consider what they are saying before they say it.

      In using the phrase “Apologies for those who were offended–”, he’s actually ramped it up a notch. He’s not saying that he regrets his ill-considered comment, he’s saying that he regrets the existence of the people offended by it.
