Folks, put your hankies away. I wouldn’t have used the words she did, but what strikes me is that Jillian Bandes has illustrated once again how soft we’ve become in this country. How about just vehemently disagreeing with her, rather than firing her?! For goodness sake, I’m regularly offended by nonsensical junk from Cindy Sheehan, but I don’t call for reporters to stop giving this woman a platform. I refute her arguments. No one has to agree with Bandes’ opinion, or the words she used to make it. By the way, if you want to see Bandes defend herself, tune in Sunday at 11 a.m. for NBC 17’s “At Issue.” Bandes joins me, Cash Michaels, Monty Knight and WPTF’s Kevin Miller for a pretty feisty segment.
