Ummm - why would he have to apologize for words spoken by someone else? Why is this story not about the person who actually uttered the words than mindlessly re-printing a political hit piece from a hyper-partisan organization?

The answer is: Jessica Barba Brown, Faith in Public Life vice president for program development said "Mickelson should also apologize but Latham is an elected member of Congress who is supposed to represent all his constituents, including Catholic sisters. He should be held to a higher standard."

What a really ignorant group of people. If Faith in Public Life really believes that he was actually calling for violence on women then I guess all I can say is they are really stupid. It is called Rhetoric. It is a way of getting the point across that he supports the Ryan plan. My guess is Latham didn't take him seriously either and therefore felt no need to respond. I am so tired of this politically correct censorship we all know what Mickelson meant and twisting it so you can score political points against Latham is a cowardly act.

Troy, we can debate who is truly ignorant. Latham was not calling for violence against women, but he was egged on by his radio host, to say something controversial. And, he did, maybe innocently, while being baited by this outrageous question- but he was clearly set up for this, and his collusion in his response, well, I laughed, too.. Imo, the only cowardly act was that of the host, twisting it for political points, as you say. Btw, I am so tired, too, of this politically correct censorship, from both sides. But, it seems our nuns, in advocating for social justice, were left on that roadside, if they were ever pulled over on their bus by jan's minions. What kind of social justice is that? Big focus for the Catholic church now-social justice. All are not treated the same, let alone our questioning nuns. The Church now just wants to get rid of them, since their voice was never very important. But, we know they embody social justice in their service, proven over many yrs. Give them a chance, maybe? I support these nuns; they are oh, so brave going against their hierarchy. Much needed. But, I never thought I'd see the day, that nuns would ever feel the need to be so outspoken in their social justice causes, with their church not supporting them. For that church to try to shut up nuns now in finding their voice, well, that is cowardly.

Tom should have the testosterone-filled sacks to stand up to a bully like Mickelson. When you laugh at an ugly joke aimed at a non-dominant group like nuns, women, blacks, gays, Latinos, handicapped it sanctions that hateful and sick behavior. It's called bullying. Take a class, Tom.

Liberals offended by mocking the Catholic church is new. Nuns get run down in movies and sitcoms all the time. Ever seen Family Guy? Admitted Liberal Democrat creators. What hypocrisy.

Faithful America is a Soros funded group. Site is a hate group after all.
