We told you about Michelle Bachmann and her Steeple People pledge that included the contention that Black people were better off during slavery because at least most of them had a mother and father back then.

I suspect she’s also jealous that they got 40 acres and a mule.  Plus that really special 3/5th of a vote.

Well, the Steeple People are walking that sucker backwards.

“After careful deliberation and wise insight and input from valued colleagues we deeply respect, we agree that the statement referencing children born into slavery can be misconstrued,” said Julie Summa, a spokeswoman for the Family Leader. “We sincerely apologize for any negative feelings this has caused, and have removed the language from the vow.”

I was at fault?  I misconstrued it?

Noooooooo ……

I didn’t misconstrue diddle squat.

I just wanted you to know that.  But, I think you did all along, didn’t you?

Thanks to David Arm for the heads up.
