"The American public is very forgiving when they are directly apologized to," she said. "I can't imagine anyone would listen to new charges until the air is cleared on this allegation." Jack Pitney, government professor at Claremont McKenna College, said that Simon's situation "has crossed the line from bad to bizarre."

Where was all this "righteous indignation" when Gray Out called Simon a criminal as a result of the unfounded verdict against Simon's company? The verdict was later thrown out, but did Davis apologize or drop out of the race? Of course not.

Hold your ground, Simon. That's the only way to stand up to bullies.

Why should Davis apologize for calling someone convicted of a crime a criminal? It's not his fault the court was in error. He didn't make a mistake. When a court convicts you of a crime, you're a criminal.

Whereas Simon was given a picture of a purported crime, from someone representing the group THAT HAD PARTICIPATED IN THE PURPORTED CRIME, and was told, "publicize this picture of your opponent AND US committing a crime". Davis then accused Davis of committing a crime when he hadn't checked his facts first. There was no legal finding. That's why he should apologize. His accusation was baseless. Davis's wasn't.
