Last week, Bob Beckel went on a tear against the Chinese which included using the ethnic slur, "Chinamen," against them, too. Today, in the wake of calls from Democratic politicians for his resignation, Beckel offered a phony apology for his remarks.

Today, Beckel said:

I made some comments last week about the Chinese people which apparently upset some people and for which I apologize. However, my comments will not be -  I do not apologize for things I've said about China and I won't go into the litany of it now because there's too many China apologists in this country, but I will continue to warn the American people about how dangerous China is to the U.S. security and to our business community and - but to those who were offended, I apologize. I do not apologize to the Chinese government or for their habits or for their murders or anything else.

I loved what John Amato said about this at Crooks and Liars:

Sorry, Bob, but that's not an apology at all. In fact, it's another slap in the face of all the Asian people he offended. He used his apology to say the same things he said while calling them "Chinamen." And apparently calling him out for using an ethnic slur is now considered being a Chinese apologist. No wonder he found a home on Fox news.
