Dick (less) Durbin and the Continued Deterioration of the Democratic Party

This past Tuesday night the "esteemed" Senate leader from Illinois made note that an FBI agent witnessed a detainee in Guantanamo Bay Cuba that had been shackled to the floor in the fetal position for 24 hours, had been nearly frozen with the air conditioner causing him to shiver violently, and had his air conditioner turned off resulting in the room temperature to go over 100 degrees. This, the Senator compared to the "Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or Pol Pot or other" regime. Hmmm.... let me get this straight. Being bound for 24 hours is the same thing as being gassed? It's at the same level as killing someone in a gulag?? It's the same thing as being tortured and left to die in the jungle?? You cannot possibly be serious Senator. To further state my point, let me put it succinctly: Senator, you should be castigated by your peers and forced to resign your seat in SHAME!!

The Nazis were guilty of approximately 9 million innocent deaths, mostly Jews, the infirm, homosexuals, gypsies, and anyone they considered to be "inferior"--that does not include the approximately 11 million others that died in the war. Stalin on the other hand, was guilty of approximately 20 million of his own people killed under his iron fist, including those with college educations, those that he considered a potential political enemy, and anyone and everyone that threatened to get in his way. Pol Pot on the other hand was "only" guilty of causing approximately 2 million deaths, so he was nowhere near the numbers of the other two, but certainly worth noting. For Mr. Dirtbag (Durbin) to compare this treatment to mass murder is contemptible at it's very least, and anyone with a shred of decency should vocally denounce this waste of skin. His voters should have him recalled.

What bothers me the most about this situation is not the hyperbole that he shows in his comparison, it's the fact that Al Jezeera and all of the other Islamic rags pick this shit up and publish it, inciting additional violence against our troops, AND THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT!! DON'T TELL ME THAT YOU SUPPORT OUR TROOPS AND THEN SPOUT THIS KIND OF CRAP OVER THE AIRWAVES!! If he wants to make statements like this in private, I don't care. Even a dirtbag has the right to an opinion; however, when statements like this incite further violence against our troops, THE PERSON STATING THEM SHOULD BE HELD AS TREASONOUS, AND AS GIVING AID AND COMFORT TO OUR ENEMIES. Personally, my solution for someone being found guilty of treason is a firing squad at close range, but that's just me.

To add to this situation, I haven't heard of a SINGLE Democrat ANYWHERE come out and admonish him for saying it. NOT ONE. That MUST mean that they all agree, right? I mean, if some Republican came out and said something like this, I can guarantee I'd be saying the same thing. I can also guarantee that every left-leaning paper in the country would be calling for his head on a silver platter. What's worse, is they turn around and blame the shitstorm that's now flying on the White House!! That's right, it's Bush's fault that Durbin made the statement. What?? Oh yes, somehow the "right wing conspiracy" is what's causing all of this bad publicity--not the fact that the man made a contemptible statement in public. It's friggin' ridiculous.

The Democratic party is completely void of any new ideas on how to solve any of today's problems, so they've resorted to obstruction, accusation, obfuscation, and hyperbole. Wow. Now, that's something to be proud of, I'm sure John Kennedy would be proud--just look at what your little brother has accomplished over the past 30+ years.
