Let me know if you want on the DUmmie FUnnies PING List.
[Thank you Senator DUrbin for ensuring that the Democrats will be losing plenty of seats in the next election thanks to your absurd comments.]
That sounds a lot like what Rush was suggesting that everyone do...call Durbin's office, be very polite, and suggest that we thank him for showing the country what the Democrats are all about.
it's so hard to believe that an American would be proud of this idiot's statements. Makes me heart sick.
You have outdone yourself again, PJ-Comix. Rice Pilaf torture.
I can hardly believe the comment about Bergen-Belsen. Just when you think they can't get any more divorced from reality...
DemoRats are always myopic and blind to double standards.
You have to remember that when they discuss the "poor" in this country, they are refering to people who have electricity, running water, and free internet (thanks to the Algore FCC telephone tax). People who obviously have computers.
The majority of homes in America have cable, certainly that includes poor people with television sets. How many of them smoke cigarettes regularly (buying cartons every week)? What about lottery tickets?
Our poor are so bad off they can't afford to have their domestic staff (babysitters or maids) live in a shack behind their homes.
Dissent breaking out at DU? Don't expect this discussion between Malva Zebrina and sfexpat2000 concerning the ASS (Andy Stephenson Situation) to be left up after the DU Modstapo sees it. Their shall be NO other opinions other than the official DU opinion allowed. But who knows?
Here is Malve Zebrina's very sober and reasonable comment to DUer Cocoa that incites the subdued ire of sfexpat2000:

31. It takes some amount of balls to post that

I suspect there are many here who avoid these posts/threads, given all that has gone down re this issue all over the internet. I know I have hit the "x" more times than once here, in order to not become involved.
I enjoy DU. I am a liberal and a proud liberal. I like reading DU, and I enjoy it's mix of young and old.
Avoiding these posts, in view of all the information posted on other boards, which many of us have been forced to follow for information since it was prohitibed to be posted here except for the positive and supportive Andy posts from those who started this sadly mismanaged fund raiser, is mostly done in order not to be attacked, or even tombstoned for having the gall to go against the approved of tide.
I don't find this thread informative at all, and I wish this whole issue, in view of how much it has stirred controversy, would be taken to the new Burch site instead of continuing it here, where it seems to be assumed that the majority of DU people, concur. It is only assumed to be so because NO OTHER opinion is allowed.
If there is a site that addresses all of the skeptics, such as the new Burch site, then address it there instead of assuming that there is complete and total acceptance here on DU of all that has been under the microscope since this began.
Why post it here when there is a whole new site upon which to post this support?
I think this personal issue , with it's continued postings, and with it's obvious censorship of those who may just want to have some questions asked, is quite unfair.
Take it to the Burch site where all those who wish to express support can post. Here, those who do still have some reservations or doubts, are prohibited from expressing that, so these continued threads are taking advantage and leeching off that
DU censorship.
That is NOT fair.

It must be true. DO the self-loathing elites of the Democrat Party really think that this is the way to win elections? You just have to wonder what these fools are thinking. The Democrats haven't won a majority in a national election since 1976. At this rate they'll be lucky to save 35 seats in the Senate and elect a President in 2100.
Yes. Thankd Durbin for exposing his party for the anti-American filth that they are.
The "them" in this sentence is probably meant to mean BushCo, but Durbin really has only ripped up two kinds of people: U.S. troops and Dempols who represent any but the most safe districts.
Oh man, it great, putting the FBI Document in context, talking about the torture and how it was approved by this adminstration.
That's funny, I've never heard of a torture operation where the average victim gained 13 pounds.
He is not going to take back calling them NAZIs!! WOO HOO!
DUrbin can say "it was a misunderstanding" all he wants, but this DUmmie knows exactly what was meant. BTW, Anybody remember the Nazis handing Jews copies of the Torah on their way into Auschwitz, and wearing gloves so they wouldn't make the text "unclean?" Anybody at Auschwitz eating orange glazed chicken? Anybody at Auschwitz gaining 13 pounds? Any Nazis keeping the noise down so the Jews could pray undisturbed?
He's gonna get a lot of angry calls from freepers, they make sure to let their @#$%^&* voices be known, call Durbin to counter that @#$%, let him know that you like what he is saying, you approve and that you support him.
Yeah, let him know you support the troops too!
Yay Dems with balls! I f*cking love it!!!
Yeah! Equating U.S. troops with history's greatest monsters, and doing it from the safety of an air conditioned Senate chamber! Woooooo!!! Get this hero a medal!
This guy's got George Galloway in him!!!!
Well, not yet...Barney Frank's not done with Mr. Galloway yet.
Other DEMs take note of DUrbin: No apologies, no surrender- the Base DEMANDS no less.
The base demands that you equate the United States Marine Corps with people who made lampshades out of human skin and piled up bins full of salvaged baby shoes.
The Dems are getting some spine at last and learning that you must NEVER apologize to Neocons,
...or to Marines who protect your lily white tuchis...
or acknowledge their rhetoric and lies!!
"We give them Korans and feed them orange glazed chicken." Somehow, that's not Goebbels-esque.
No apologies from Dean!! And now none from Durbin!
Yeah! Right on! Sanity and civility are overrated! Talking about real issues is overrated!
DUNK! SWISH!
Accusing peaceful prison guards of killing tens of millions of people is a dunk? OK, here's my dunk: I accuse DU of sanity.
Dick Durbin is a real man and a real Democrat.
You're half right. A guy who is proud of 40 million dead babies is a real Dempol, but not a real man.
I'm so proud he represents me and my family in the Senate.
I'm ashamed that my sweet Land of Lincoln is filled with millions of slavery-loving useful idiots like yourself.
Hope that we can counteract the freeps.
Election Day, 2006...Election Day, 2006...Election Day, 2006...Election Day, 2006...Election Day, 2006...
As a daughter of a Holocaust Survivor and a trained historian, I know this camp is not unlike Bergen Belsen.
Yes, in the same way that I'm not unlike Saddam Hussein. You see, we're both adult human males, and Bergen Belsen and Gitmo are both camps. I think we have a new Number One on the list of the Top Ten Lies Told On DU. Or, if she's telling the truth, a new Queen of all Useful Idiots.
Obama could learn a thing or two from Durbin
Obama is already DUrbin's lapdog...Maybe DUrbin can teach him to catch a frisbee in his mouth.
I'm so proud of Sen Durbin. Damn, I'm proud of him!
"I can't wait until he gets appointed to be the head of the Ministry of Truth!"
When it comes to the official imprimatur on torture, there is undisputed evidence that Rumsfeld and AG Gonzales authorized it!
Yeah, if you're looking up "authorized" in a dictionary from Bizarro World. BTW, apparently Rumsfeld authorized the torture of my nephew, because he has been deprived of sleep while out killing terrorists in Iraq, and I'm sure he's heard some loud rap music now and then while deployed. Fortunately he didn't have to put up with the horror of orange glazed chicken or daily prayer to Mecca...
[It’s horrible. Rumsfeld and Gonzales authorized the horrific ban on prisoner backrubs in Gitmo.]
ROTFLMBO!
Durbin has completely pulled the rug out!!!
Somewhere along the line, somebody pulled most of his brain out. Maybe we should take out his feeding tube...
