UPDATE: Richard Land apologizes for healthcare-Holocaust comparison
Beth recently posted about Richard Land’s incendiary statement that
What they are attempting to do in healthcare, particularly in treating the elderly, is not something like what the Nazis did. It is precisely what the Nazis did.
In addition to garnering some attention in the blogosphere, Land caught the eye of the Anti-Defamation League, which condemned his remarks. Yesterday the ADL announced that Land submitted a letter of apology. While his claim that “It was never my intention to equate the Obama administration’s healthcare reform proposals with anything related to the Holocaust,” is incongruous with his original remarks, the apology is still a welcome development.
