The comment about blacks was easy to misinterpret at first, but hey, it's not like a President Bachmann or a President Santorum would actually have to carefully read and comprehend the full implications of stuff before they sign their name to it.
Why should they back down from signing it when others misinterpreted the comment?
The same reason the Family Leader eventually retracted that section of the pledge, perhaps?
Yes, they retracted it because it was misinterpreted. They understand why people could be confused with the wording as can I. That doesn't mean people that correctly understood this aspect of the pledge should back down.
Oh yes misrepresented. No, it was clear as day.
Hateful people put hateful language in it, and other hateful people signed it
