Actress Eva Longoria has apologized (sort of) for sending a retweet following Tuesday night’s debate between President Obama and Mitt Romney which read, “I have no idea why any woman/minority can vote for Romney. You have to be stupid to vote for such a racist/misogynistic tw*t.”
At first, Longoria denied sending out the retweet stating, “Is anyone else’s twitter bugging out? There are things in my timeline I didn’t retweet today. Hmmm? Standby trying to fix!” But then Longoria issued the standard “I apologize if I offended anyone” statement.
Now one might say, well, who cares? She’s just another Hollywood liberal.
But Longoria happens to be one of the National Co-Chairs of President Obama’s re-election campaign.
Let’s be clear. If one of Romney’s co-chairs had said something untoward about President Obama do you think the Obama campaign would accept an apology? Hell no. They would demand (and receive) a resignation.
Ms. Longoria retweeted a vile statement about Romney and then lied about retweeting it. Is President Obama OK with that? I suspect that he is. In which case, it says agreat deal about his character.
If Ms. Longoria has an ounce of decency she should resign from the Obama campaign. If not, pressure ought to be brought to bear.

Let her stay on as Co-Chair, she is doing a helluva job.

Ditto! Let the rats go down with the ship, and not leave before it sinks.

Wait just one minute! She's entitled to free speech just as much as anyone els....I mean any other liberal.

Come on Aaron. If she had an ounce of decency she wouldn't be a "Co-Chair" of Obama's re-election campaign. Her comments are a perfect representation of Obama, right up there with the classless and mentally-challenged Joe Biden, Debbie Blabbermouth, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. I can't think of any Obama spokesman who addresses the public in a dignified way. They offer the country a clear contrast for November 6.

Actually, I think that making someone a National Co-Chair because they are famous for pretending to be the adulterous wife of an organized crime figure with a dysfunctional life is just about right for the Obama Campaign, even before she added this latest imbroglio to her resume.

I disagree...keep her on; when the mask slips, it's best it stays off in order to illustrate the degeneracy and hypocrisy of the 'party of tolerance'
