1. K&R

2. Don't think I heard him

say he's sorry - just that it was wrong. Him's a solid christian he is. He sounds like a teabagger.

[EEO]

3. What a coward. Like most bullies.

[maddiemom]

7. Backpeddling like crazy. Obsequius to Anderson, he lost his big chance

to put his bigotry and hatefulness right out there. No better proof that his "ilk" could never have a meaningful debate or shoot their months off unless totally sure that they had backup from their fellow assholes.

4. What a vampire.

Ugh.

5. Bully behind the keyboard

Typical chicken Republican.

BTW - WORST closed captioning ever

6. WOW - I watched both videos

Once he found out the ill effects of social media and how you can get burnt, he back peddled big time. And did you notice the "so called" apology came only AFTER he had talked to a suicide counselor. I don't believe for a minute, that this guy has changed his opinion on anything he said, other than suicide. And only suicide because he has now been educated on how hateful, racist, sexist remarks can affect people. And he apologized for his words, not the meaning behind the words. Makes a difference.

I mean, I'm glad that he came forward(only after an education), but I feel it's being said only because of his current living conditions, and a true apology was not given.

I'm guessing a teabagger too.

9. Republicans can always

apologize for the words they use.. AND never the hateful intent behind them. Haters, unless they have a real life changing moment, will always be haters.

10. So true n/t

[Pharaoh]

12. oh yes

they just say they misspoke

when caught in a lie or something vulgar like this.........

16. The fact that the person came out and challenged him though

That is what really impressed me. The person didn't live anywhere near this guy and instead of phoning him and chewing him out (which would have been the easy way), the guy hopped in his car and talked to him rationally.

8. George Carlin was right..

half the population is less intelligent than the average American who isn't exactly a 10,000 watt bulb

[ballyhoo]

11. He's lying to Anderson to save his job. He spoke

the truth in his rant. That's the name of that tune.

[ut oh]

13. He's a coward

plain and simple

[lumpy]

14. McCance meant what he said about gays when he said it. He didn't misspeak. He didn't realize

the shit would hit the fan by his bigotry and it has affected his life in an unintended uncomfortable manner for him. Now he is sorry that he brought this on himself; that is the only thing he is sorry about.

15. And yet, I'm not surprised.

Usually the truth only comes out when people aren't looking. But this guy posted to his FB page. The hubris of is bigotry is what is so shocking to me. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

[davidpdx]

17. I've only watched the first video, but I still see troubling things being said by him.

He doesn't seem to be fully recanting what he's said, which makes me question how sincere he is.
