Thanks for sharing. The quote does appear to be accurate.

I was hoping they were wrong. I thought Marshall was smarter than that. Worse, it sounds as if he was reading, so it wasn’t a spur of the moment thought.

All that being said, I think it’s mostly unfortunate wording. Marshall is not the monster that the left and the media will portray him to be.

A completely reasonable statement.

“I don’t believe him until I see the video.”

Good of you, old chap. Is that why you just signed up here?

Interesting you should accept the spin of a college newspaper, “the original newspaper,” rather than the record of the elected official in support of the disabled.

This is the audio of his statement. As I suspected, the original quote was completely accurate.

I look forward to your apology.

He didn’t say that and you know it.

With Marshall’s statement, the Left will go for a triple play.

1) Demand Palin to make some statement calling out Bob Marhsall. Last night Keith Olbermann sugguested that Trig Palin was the result of an earlier abortion Sarah had. Real classy guy, Keith Oilbermann is.

2) Call McDonnell’s attempts to rebrand the GOP as phony and how McDonnell mindlessly follows Pat Robertson.

3) Portray religious conservatives as kooks.
