B-b-b-but, you rw's said that was okay when O'Keefe/Britebart did it. rw's also said that it was rally libs who did it in order to cast doubt on the veracity of O'Keefe/Britebart's "journalistic honesty".
Bottom line is its wrong for either side to twist facts to suit their agenda. That's why libs don't respect fox/lush/beck etc.
From the article, the real crux of the discussion -
"We're all entitled to our own opinion and I respect their opinions and their thoughts," Heslin continued after the incident. "I wish they'd respect mine and give it a little bit of thought, and realize it could have been their child that could have been in that school that day."
That was NOT the crux of the discussion, and if you had watched the entire video you would have know this. Those words you quoted would have never been uttered except for the fact that the father of the slain victim screwed up - royally. He asked the audience a question anticipating that no one could possibly answer him, and was surprised when someone actually did. Realizing that he was wrong, he attempted to recoup by saying that he respected the opinions of others even though he originally challenged how anyone could possibly have such an opinion.
The father made the following comment which was actually in the form of a question:
I ask if there is anyone who is in this room that can give me one reason or challenge this question: Why anybody in this room needs to have done of these assault-style weapons or military weapons or high capacity clips? He then looked to his left where people were seated. He paused, and getting no response he then said, Not one person can answer the question.
At this point several people in the room then gave a very brief response to the question. The father apparently thought that no one could possibly contradict him and he was wrong. Realizing that he made a mistake, he attempted to recoup by saying that he respected the opinions of others even though he originally challenged how anyone could possibly have such an opinion.
It is obvious that the father thought his opinion is the only one that counts and had to backpedal a little bit.
By the way, the "crux" of the hearing was that there is no reason for anyone to possess what is commonly referred to as "assault weapons." The "crux" of the father's testimony was that "my son died solely because there was no ban on assault weapons." Personally, I don't see any other cruxes. There was certainly no "crux" regarding the respect of those with differing opinions.
In the final analysis, the only thing of importance is that the MSM lied, and far too many people believed them. That is the crux of the matter.
