Next step?...Durbin denies the Holocaust?
Nice catch BUMP!!
I wonder why it is not reported (coff coff) in the lame stream media is what those terrorists at Gitmo try to do to the guards. Why doesn't someone report on the feces under the fingernails of the prisoners that they try to scratch the guards with. Why doesn't someone report on the attempts to bite and otherwise compromise the guards. Why doesn't anyone besides Rush tell us how well the terrorists are fed. My husband wished he could eat so well.............
Excellent catch. Maybe someone should start a clock to see how long it takes for any, and I mean any, Democrat to condemn these remarks.
dick turban doesn't even have the strength of his own stupid convictions ... what a sissy ... what a girly-man
I tried to rewrite Durbin's name, last night and this is what came out... "Senator Turd-bin".
...maybe its that time of the month for him?
Copperheads "Peace Democrats"
Republican Abraham Lincoln was able to win the 1860 presidential election largely because the Democratic party had torn itself into several factions and could offer no united opposition. In the North the Democrats divided into two factions- the War Democrats and the Peace Democrats. Neither group agreed with the way the Republican administration conducted the war, but the War Democrats at least supported the fight for the Union.
The Peace Democrats were opposed to the war and would have accepted a negotiated peace resulting in an independent Confederacy. Most Peace Democrats were from the midwestern states of Ohio, Illinois, and Indiana, but political dissent was widespread throughout the North. Midwesterners had close economic and sentimental ties with the South, and many of them bitterly opposed the Union's war against what one of them called "the injured, incensed, downtrodden people of the South."
In 1861, Republicans started calling antiwar Democrats "copperheads", likening them to the poisonous snake. By 1863, the Peace Democrats had accepted the label, but for them the copper "head" was the likeness of Liberty on the copper penny, and they proudly wore pennies as badges.
The Copperheads mounted a forceful and sustained protest against the Lincoln administration's policies and conduct. The most popular of the Copperheads was Democratic Congressman Clement L. Vallandigham, who in 1862 introduced a bill in Congress to imprison the President. Instead, Vallandigham and a host of other Democrats, including judges, newspaper editors, politicians, and antiwar activists, were arrested and imprisoned without trial on the orders of Lincoln and Secretary of War Stanton, who had decided to take off their gloves in dealing with persons "guilty of any disloyal practice".
Fascinating Fact: At the 1864 Democratic convention, Vallandigham persuaded the party to adopt a platform that declared the war a failure and called for negotiations with the Confederacy.
LOL!! This story was all over Hugh Hewitt last night. Hugh was thoroughly pissed!!!!
Bring on Ken Nordine and his word jazzz...
Durbin will be remembered as the Jane Fonda of this war.
Imagine that!
Little Dickey "Durban the turban" lied?
I'm shocked! Shocked I say!
Kudos..you should email Rush and Newsmax..
Turban Durbin needs to apologize ... nothing less
Durbin: Liar, Liar, Pants on fire!
Throw this bum out of the Senate. Preferably out of the country!
When you read some of the graphic descriptions of what has occurred here--I almost hesitate to put them in the Record, and yet they have to be added to this debate. Let me read to you what one FBI agent saw. And I quote from his report:109th Congress - Page S6594 - June 14, 2005
On a couple of occasions, I entered interview rooms to find a detainee chained hand and foot in a fetal position to the floor, with no chair, food or water. Most times they urinated or defecated on themselves, and had been left there for 18-24 hours or more. On one occasion, the air conditioning had been turned down so far and the temperature was so cold in the room, that the barefooted detainee was shaking with cold. . . . On another occasion, the [air conditioner] had been turned off, making the temperature in the unventilated room well over 100 degrees. The detainee was almost unconscious on the floor, with a pile of hair next to him. He had apparently been literally pulling his hair out throughout the night. On another occasion, not only was the temperature unbearably hot, but extremely loud rap music was being played in the room, and had been since the day before, with the detainee chained hand and foot in the fetal position on the tile floor.If I read this to you and did not tell you that it was an FBI agent describing what Americans had done to prisoners in their control, you would most certainly believe this must have been done by Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime--Pol Pot or others--that had no concern for human beings. Sadly, that is not the case. This was the action of Americans in the treatment of their prisoners.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator's time has expired.
Mr. DURBIN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent for 3 additional minutes.
A friggin' democrat lying--now there's something unique and rare. ha
Durbin must go. He's a wormy disgrace who hasn't represented common folk in years. He kisses the rears of every liberal special interest group by the bucketfulls.
