Deja vu all over again. IS he redeemed?

The title says it all . . .

"Congressmen who willfully take actions during wartime that damage morale and undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, exiled, or hanged."

Depends on the meaning of the word "IS"!

I vote "He!! NO!"

[lilylangtree]

Why is it when wussies like Dirty Durbin get their a**es in a sling appears with a "weepy semi-apology"? These p*ssy legislators make me sick.

[pigsmith]

"Deja vu all over again. IS he redeemed?"

No.

[stockstrader]

It's too bad that Sen. Durbin forgot to include the comparison to "Genghis Khan"!

Sen. Durbin is just continuing in the 30 year tradition (since the end of the Vietnam War) of the Democratic Party--of giving 'aid and comfort' to the enemy in time of war.

His comments are no more outrageous than those offerred by Sen. Kennedy only a few months ago! Kennedy's unconscionable comments were no different, yet they received only a fraction of the current outrage that Durbin's anti-American comments have received.

[Interesting Times]

A "they're doing it again" ping...

[TheCrusader]

"There can be little doubt that Senator Durbin has made it significantly easier for Al Qaeda to recruit new terrorists to kill more of the American troops he professes to respect and admire."

Durbin's shocking comments laid bare the heart of the man hiding inside the Senator's suit. No forced, half-hearted 'apology' will ever be able to negate the damage he did to America's image and the increased danger he placed our troops in with his inflammatory and treasonous indictment of our military.

The most infuriating aspect of the whole debacle is that Durbin will be allowed to continue to 'serve' our country in a position of power and authority while every American knows he spits on what we stand for, and while every terrorist repeats his words as a battle cry.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Hell no he isn't redeemed. All Durbin did was gripe about being "misunderstood", which places all blame at the feet of the people who didn't like what he said.

[victim soul]

"The Islamic network Al Jazeera took a considerably less nuanced view of the situation, broadcasting Durbin's Nazi fantasies to the Islamic world around the clock, confirmation from a high-ranking American of what Islamic radicals -- and American leftists -- have always believed; that America is fundamentally a force for evil in the world. There can be little doubt that Senator Durbin has made it significantly easier for Al Qaeda to recruit new terrorists to kill more of the American troops he professes to respect and admire."

This drunk with power U.S. Senator has aided and abetted the enemy and should RESIGN!!

[purpleland]

As Jay Severin (FM96.6) pointed out, after he parsed Durbin's alleged apology, a sincere apology begins with "I was wrong." Durbin does not sincerely accept accountability for his outrageous statements. Even Durbin's alleged apology is outrageously self-serving once you parse it - stripping to the bone for true meaning. The MSM is just not astute enough, and wholly lacks the integrity, to parse before the public Durbin's deceptive apology which disengenuously overruns with dissemble.

Durbins' feeble (teary and blubbering) apology is as false as his slanderous assertions made against the U.S. military.
Just what kind of crappy cowardly persons are American citizens electing to Congress? Congress is over-populated with career politicians who only represent THEIR self-interests. Term Limits anyone?

[cubreporter]

Not redeemed in this household. Too much blood has been spilled because of irresponsible, vile remarks like his, pelosi, dean and hanoi jane. Durbin is over and he will NEVER live down those remarks nor SHOULD he. He said 'em...he meant 'em. There are always consequences for our actions....some people never learn that however. They think they are above everything. But...let a republican say something simple and oh they want to do all they can to get rid of him. Well, durbin is finding out now what happens when you think you are above everyone else. The American people take so much and that is it. Their outrage FORCED this apology...thereore he is not redeemed because if he truly meant his apology as much as he did the hate he spewed and endangered our troops he would have never said it to begin with.

[conservatism_IS_compassion]

IS he redeemed?

Cheap grace from our very own pastel patriot, John M^cCain.

All very well to say that I haven't been in a POW prison and he has - but he presumes too much when he assays to speak for patriots in accepting from Durbin a head fake in lieu of an appology.

As so often, Rush is right - M^cCain thinks he's playing Big Journalism like a violin, but it is he who is being played by the Quisling Party.

M^cCain can be the Quisling Party candidate in the Republican primary, but he can't be the Quisling Party candidate in the general election against a pro-abort Democrat.

Gitmo: It's Deja Nam All Over Again

For most of my adult life, I believed that liberal Democrats opposed the war in Vietnam because they wanted the communists to win. That was why they continually called for bringing the troops home... for setting a withdrawal date.. When that appeared to be failing, they set about demonizing the military, and the troops themselves.

The most famous of the latter incidents was (now Democratic Senator) John Kerry's testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on April 22, 1971. Kerry was at that time the spokesman for the Vietnam Veterans Against the War. Kerry spoke of "war crimes committed in Southeast Asia... not isolated incidents, but crimes committed on a day-to-day basis, with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command.  US troops personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, cut off limbs, blew up bodies, randomly shot civilians and razed villages in a manner reminiscent of Genghis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun..."

Sound familiar? To hear another Democratic Senator tell it, we have pretty much the same sort of thing happening at Gitmo, and in Afghanistan. Our troops are engaging in behaviors we would associate with the Nazis, or the regime of Pol Pot. And once again it's Democrats and their media bringing this to our attention. And once again it's Democrats, wanting to set a withdrawal date, wanting to know the exit strategy, demanding that we bring the troops home.

They say the more things change, the more they remain the same. That's a frightening thought, because there don't seem to be any communists around this time. Our enemy is a shadowy, stateless group of Islamic theocrats who appear to be stuck in the 7th century. This is an unlikely group to attract the favor of our mostly-secular liberal Democrats.

So why do we see them engaging in exactly the same behavior we saw from them twenty-five years ago? There really isn't a dime's worth of difference. It's the same act. I know; I was there for it. And here they go again. Stop the war! Bring the troops home! End the atrocities! Torture! Crimes!

If they don't want the Islamofascists to win — and I doubt they do — there can be only one explanation for their behavior. They want the United States to lose. That's what they wanted last time too, isn't it. Our liberals weren't communists. They just hate the United States. They want the United States to lose. They don't care who the enemy is, so long as we lose. So long as we are shamed.

I don't care much what people say they are about. I watch what they do. I saw what they did in the 1970's, and they are doing exactly the same thing now. An entire generation of veterans was smeared thanks to those people back then, and lo and behold, here they are doing it again... trying to get their own country to lose a war, smearing the troops while they go about it, and clucking about their own moral superiority the whole time. There's probably a word for such people, but I won't even give them the dignity of using it. Suffice to say they disgust me.

"... Senator Richard Durbin, who seeks to poison their reputations even as he pretends to praise their service."


Yes, Durbin was "pretending" when he said last night that he supports the troops .. because this is not the first time Durbin has said slightly disparaging things about the military .. or about the Bush admin.

[eeriegeno]

And all that Lott did was honor an elderly gent who served many honorable years in the Senate? Lott was ostracized and lost his leadership role for a remark that the liberal media found offensive? Where the hell are these clowns now? Can they not see that what Durbin said is a hell of a lot worse than what Lott said????????

Get the noose ready, I am all for carrying out Abe's wishes!!!!!!
