President Bush and members of his administration understand that there is a vital political component to our efforts against terrorists. When a senior Democrat leader in the U.S. Senate makes such an incredibly stupid accusation against U.S. Marines and other Americans at Guantanimo Bay, and then fails to retract it or even really apologize, that does immense damage to our security. I hope that Senator McCain understands this, because Newt Gingrich is right, the Senate must censure Dick Durbin.

It's interesting that Rather could pull up his "forged" story on Bush and get away with it.

And here's Durbin, "Live, and in his own words" being caressed by the media. There is no way to misunderstand what Durbin said. It was a point blank statement intended to damage Bush and the military. (Notice that Hillary is silent). Commander in Chief potential....I don't think so.

When Al-Jazeera quotes Durbin Ladin approvingly, that's all the evidence we need that he has given aid and comfort to the enemy in time of war. He should be run out of town, not just censured, but the heat needs to stay on him until he's made to publically retract his treasonous statements from the floor of the Senate. Then let's see if his friends at Al-Jazeera will publish that through out the Muslim world.

By saying that he was misunderstood, Turbin is calling us stupid.

Republican "heat" is an air-conditioned room in a Senate office. Disgusting. Enablers.

"He should certainly apologize," Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said Sunday

Well, I guess he's good for some things.

The heat may be on Durbin in other states, but not in IL, especially not in Chicago, where the Chicago Tribune has done its usual news blackout of any story that threatens to make Liberals look bad.

the Senate must censure Dick Durbin.

Don't count on it. The pubbies are master of the bungle. They still don't get what many of us sent them their to do: completely annihilate the liberal-wacko agenda.

And, again, I'm left waiting...waiting...waiting for something to happen. If there is a grand "strategery", I don't see it. I'm still waiting for someone (anyone) to call these creeps on their actions.

I hear Senators talk about "traditions of the Senate" and the "comity of the Senate". Well, "comity" is defined as "a state or atmosphere of harmony or mutual civility and respect". The 'pubbies need to FINALLY learn that the demoCRUDs forgot this idea a long (LONG!) time ago.

The plug on Durbin's political life should have already been pulled, but all it seems we are getting is a tug on his cord. Phone calls? Emails? Urging from colleagues?

The guy compared our brave fighting forces to Nazis and I have to make phone calls to derive a sense of outrage?

Why didn't another Senator walk right up to Durbin, in the hearing chamber, punch him square in the mouth and then demand an apology to the troops and his resignation from office.

Look, I don't think there is a more stark example of a public official who, in his official capacity as a Senator, in an official hearing, said something so deserving of universal condemnation.

Yet, what do we get out of Senate stalwart like John McCain? "I think he should apologize"? And, demoCREEPs are (essentially) defending what he said with excuses that "well, it's Bush' fault anyway" crap. WHAT?

[mattdono shakes head] I don't even know what to think anymore.

Stay the course on this folks. Durbin does not deserve to continue on in his senate seat after insulting our military and their loved ones with the remarks he made. We still need to flood his and everyone else's office with our demands that he resign!!!

THIS IS IMPORTANT. If he is allowed to get away with those vile hate filled remarks then this will be nothing and evryone will jump on the band wagon and our senate chamber will be filled with traitors. God bless our military.
This needs to be resolved and resolved now and the only way for this to happen is for him to resign or be thrown out. He is UNAmerican. Plain and simple. Any Amrican with love and pride in the United States would NEVER say anything even remotely like that. Can he disagree with the war? You bet!

Can he dare to Compare our military to NAZI's??? No!!! NEVER!!!!!!! Durbin made his choice on the side of the enemy plain and simple. now it is up to the American Public and tose in authority to throw this bum out of office before he gets more of our military KILLED!

What's the big deal? The Democrat Party is overtly anti-American, Marxist, and totalitarian. Durbin's an adequate spokesman for that bunch and what they stand for. The Democrats and their standpoint need more exposure, not less. I say give Durbin a megaphone.

Will the Chicago Tribune and sister paper LA Times be able to choke off and contain a groundswell of censuring Durbin?
Both suffer from sagging readership, so who knows how powerful they still remain.

Democrats have circled the wagons. The MSM is carrying their water. A few (damned few) Republicans have spoken up.
My two Senators are laying low over the Senate apology for Lynchings.
Others because they do not want to make the Democrats and the media mad. Whole thing will be gone and forgotten by July 4th. But the heat will still be on Tom DeLay. Funny how that works. Funny but not funny, HA HA.

At least Durbin didn't compliment Strom Thurmond. Now that would have been bad.
