I didn't even think there were kids who thought this way these days.
DENVER -- The 19-year-old son of Republican Senate candidate Bob Schaffer of Colorado has apologized for an entry on his Facebook page that had the words "High Five ... Who's Gay" over a photo of a waving Barack Obama.
It also had a picture of the Pyramids with the words "Slavery Gets (expletive) Done."
Justin Schaffer, a student at the University of Dayton, issued an apology Monday, calling the entries "offensive" and saying he alone was responsible. The statement says the materials "directly contradict the values that my parents taught me and are forbidden in my parents' home."
Bob Schaffer has said he and his wife decided on "firm punishment" for their son but declined further comment. Schaffer's campaign opponent, Democrat Mark Udall, had no comment. A copy of the Facebook page was posted on SchafferFamilyValues.com.
