ON MONDAY, it was argued here that Senator Richard Durbin ought to be censured for his remarks last week, and not just those in which he made the outrageous comparison between interrogation tactics at Guantanamo and the practices of the Nazi, Soviet, and Khmer Rouge regime. On Tuesday, Durbin took to the Senate floor again, and tried to sound like he was apologizing, though of course he did nothing of the sort, as even a casual consideration of his words will demonstrate. Though the high priest of the media, John McCain, pronounced absolution on the teary Durbin, the reaction among servicemen and women, their families and supporters was not of the forgiving kind. Students of Lincoln also recognized just how carefully Durbin had shopped for his Lincoln quote.

It's inconceivable to me that a US Senator could compare American soldiers to Nazis and yet keep his job.
Democrats have NO standards for their people....they can do ANYTHING and it's OK.
They are speaking, and acting, as if civil war is not a possibility.
But it is.
Recreating the America of 1860 is in no one's interest. Why do the Democrats think it is in theirs?
demonRATs are the vilest and lowest form of life. They have no justification for remaining in the USA. They should be assisted to relocate to any number of socialist fairylands--from Canada to Cuba or anywhere in Eurabia.
Creatures like Durbin, McCain, et al, are living examples of everything that is wrong in American government today.
McCain is no better than Kerry IMHO. In fact, in alot of ways...he's worse.
McCain is always the first to jump in front of a camera when he gets a chance to poke a stick in the eye of the administration. He apparently is brain disabled from his actions.
Did you see Ann Coulter's post on Durbin?
". . . Why do Democrats take such relish in slandering their country? If someone was constantly telling vicious lies about you, would you believe they supported and loved you?
"I love John Doe, and that's why I accuse him of committing serial rape and mass murder. Oh, he doesn't do that? Yes, but how dare you say I don't love John Doe!"
"Just as long as no one gets hurt." Remember that corollary?
Remember this bumpersticker: Vote Democratic - It Beats Working!
A once great political party has been suborned by knuckleheads.
I never thought I'd say this, but if the GOP nominates McCain on either side of the ticket, as the good Lord above is my witness, and as much as I despise and detest the Clintons, I WILL VOTE FOR HILLARY
Roger that! WHERE are the people we voted for?
As I posted last week, this little flap will be over and forgotten by July 4th. Democrats get the pass, even from Republicans.
John McCain is deified by the MSM as a "war hero". He is emphatically not a "war hero". He was shot down -essentially failed at his mission - was imprisoned, and tortured by North Vietnamese captors. Sort of like we do at Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib, right? Wrong.
I fail to see why the term "hero" should be used in conjunction with McCain. Many, many men endured the same as McCain during that time, yet none have been accorded "hero" status. McCain is a charlatan, a made-for-TV concoction of democrats, left-wing media sycophants and mouthpieces for their political purposes. And McCain has no shame in accepting this adulation. Sorry indeed.
Yep. Excellent.
Take a number on that one. That should be a poll.
They don't think.
