So Brian Kilmeade of FAUX apologized for advocating killing of the homeless [View all]

I won't link to his apology but it's out there. Ron Filipkowski characterized it as weak, and that's all I need to know.

Apparently, Brian was forced to apologize in order to keep his job. But in my opinion, a weak apology is not enough to atone for what were really beyond the pale comments. His words were not just opinions, (unlike Matthew Dowd, who was immediately FIRED), but calls to physically harm human beings.

But he will keep his job, unlike Dowd, of course.
