Anderson Cooper Should Apologize

Click the title link to read about Anderson Cooper of CNN's comments in regards to the Tea Parties held on April 15th.

I will warn you about googling "teabagging" should you not be familiar with it; it is a crude term to describe a sexual act.

One nice thing about Mr. Cooper's comment is that it shows the objectivity of CNN's programming: namely, that there is none. If you think I am accusing Mr. Cooper unfairly, I would encourage to read (or view) his comments in their original context.

This is not the type of behavior that can be considered acceptable among the mainstream media. And yes, if a "right-wing" personality had made this type of reference in regards to President Obama or Democratic voters, I would be demanding an apology as well. Our discourse must be founded on principle, not personal attacks, or we become just another voice shouting into the wind.

Anderson Cooper should apologize for his comments about the American citizens who went to the Tea Party rallies held independently across our nation. And if you went to one, leave me a comment on your experience - I would love to hear about it.
