Sen. Dick Durbin, an Illinois Democrat, took the Senate floor yesterday and likened American servicemen to Nazis . . .

"When you read some of the graphic descriptions of what has occurred here [at Guantanamo Bay]--I almost hesitate to put them in the [Congressional] Record . . .

A photo of Durbin would require a Barf Alert.

durbin's statement is so disgusting--

to those that died in nazi germany, the u.s.s.r., cambodia, etc,

not to mention the ideals of our military and country

--that durbin should resign.

"Turban Durbin" is very funny----I heard Savage tonight and he was enraged,as well he should be.

The people of Illinois ought to get rid of this America hater and maybe he could catch up on his history and put the Guantanamo stuff into some perspective.

What an idiot he is.

More treason from the party of treason. This is getting more disgusting by the day. This Gitmo bashing is just to the point of playing into Al Qaeda's hands and emboldening them. Democrats dividing the nation on Iraq was bad enough. Now they're dividing the nation on the fight against Al Qaeda. These Democrats are absolutely vile and disgusting. Then they wonder why we think they're traitors.

Turbin Durbin belittles and desecrates the memories of the MILLIONS who suffered and died at the hands of the nazis and soviets.

He is a traitor! I have never heard Turbin Durbin makes statements, speeches, or in any interview where he slams terrorists for cutting off heads of prisoners, for blowing the arms and legs off of innocent babies, for randomly killing men, women, children, entire families.

By his silence on these matters he endorses their actions.

Durbin hates the military and by equating them to the nazis and soviets he spits on the memories of all the brave military men and women protecting his sorry ass.

Somebody ought to ask Durbin where he'd prefer to do time, Guantanamo or Joliet. And then send him there.

The title reminds me of every liberal for the past 4 years "I support the troops BUT..."
Whatever comes after the BUT usually confirms what you suspected in the first place, that they don't support the troops at all.

Durbin knows who the real bad guys are! It's the U.S. military!

Durbin is merely reflecting forty years of Democrat leftist pap. It has left him unable to distinguish between us and the Nazis. How can you entrust the government to these people?

Hugh Hewitt had a liberal on his show tonight who was one of those ultra feminine "males". Anyway this idiot said that the people who jummped to their death from the WTC had a better option than those poor terrorists at gitmo who were forced to pee on themselves.

.. 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. ..

perhaps this doofus needs to be Pol-Pot-ized by the islamists. Has he forgotten 9-11 already ? bloody idiot.

"More treason from the party of treason."

Read this great article which I posted earlier, by Tony Siriano on "The Age of Treason." We're in it, living through it, according to Tony........and I agree with him.

Another rat trying to recreate the biggest "victory" they ever knew, the fall of Saigon.

This squealing prick just helps demonstrate to the average person what the rat party is all about.

Bunch of pigs, they truly are the party of death. Scary thing is they may have "educated" enough nitwits to pull it off again.

" Rap music and hot temperatures! Gasp... Oh the horrors!!!"

As I have suggested on a previous thread-we should have a " Gitmo In "-
all of us, age and sex and military experience notwithstanding,
should volunteer to experience the " horrors " of Gitmo.
Spending all night in a hot or cold room, even in the " unspeakable " fetal position .
Perhaps on the floor of the Senate.
Last week, I paid good money to stay in a hotel that was hosting a lot of high school graduation parties .
I know about the horrors of rap music, especially at 3 am.
Had I known that so many US Senators would have had my back , I would have saved my ire for them ,
instead of the desk clerk.

Vermin Durbin would rather see U.S.policy fail than see Bush be successful, like so many other 'Rats.
The Nazis tortured INNOCENT HUMAN BEINGS, and if in fact we are doing these things in Gitmo, don't they understand we
are doing it to terrorists or suspected terrorists? Is there a moral equivalence between an innocent human being
who's being manhandled and tortured because of his nationality, religion or background as opposed to one who's being treated in a like manner because he represents a threat to our country, and could be plotting to kill or maim thousands at a time? Don't these 'Rats understand this?

And this Senator, DICK, had the nerve to show up to welcome home my hubby and the 106th AVN F Co out of Peoria back from Iraq. My son, an MP at the gate told me later that everytime he saw DICK he was whoring in front of a camera from local media....he also attended several other units homecomings across the state.....What a POS you are DICK....

Hello,

Recently, due to having to get a new computer, I lost my 9/11 links that I had saved since that day. I was glad to find on FR the links that I had lost. The idea that this bastard, a US Senator, would compare the slight discomfort of enemy combatants to the horror of the Nazis, etc... makes me so mad that I have no words.

A little closer to home, and a little more recent: Have you, Senator, thought of the heat suffered by thousands in the Trade Center? As they burned to death, or chose to die by jumping?

Piss Off Durbin, you are a worthless POS.

I am glad to be here, but royally ticked off,MOgirl

Durbin is a Traitor there no other way around it. No man will utter such treasonous words and lies against our troops if he is not a traitor. He and Ted Kennedy should be sued by the American people for treason.

By the way the title of this thread is very dumb, and if the author meant sarcasm he failed because in such a serious matter of treason you do not use sarcasm but you say things as it is.

Impeachment is reserved for the Executive branch and Federal Courts I beleive Senators are subject to recall by the state they represent or

US Constitution Section. 5.
Clause 2:

Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member.

In the context of describing liberals it's a little redundant ... but it's allowed. ; )

I am visualizing the DNC replacing Dean with this nitwit. First the traitor needs to be impeached so that he's not holding office though.
