An Open Letter to Illinois Senator Dick Durbin

Open Letter to Senator Durbin,

[Right-Headed]

Senator Durbin, I am writing concerning your recent comments regarding the detainees being held at Guantanamo Bay. There are only two possible explanations for your remarks, both of which are equally disturbing. Either you are a partisan political hack who will do or say anything to damage President Bush; or you, Sir, are a dimwit of titanic proportions who doesn't understand the difference between the Nazi and Soviet Death Camps - where millions were systematically murdered for political opposition to those heinous regimes or merely for their race and ethnicity - and the facility at Guantanamo Bay where terrorists are being held because they have committed, or plan to commit, terrorist acts upon United States citizens, presumably even those from Illinois. You managed, in your brief outbreak of oral diarrhea, to offend: our Military, equating them with the Gestapo and Concentration Camp Guards; Holocaust victims and survivors who (take a history class, for God's sake!), I assure you, faced far harsher conditions than that to which the terrorist detainees are subjected; and Japanese Americans, who were rounded up and interned for no other reason than their Japanese ancestry. If you are a mere political firebomber, to whom nothing is out of bounds if it besmirches the President, I urge you to consider what impact your words have on our Troops and our enemies. Already Al Jazeera is publishing your remarks as further evidence of the righteousness of the “jihad” – and Senator, that means more attacks upon American forces, and more American deaths. If you truly don’t see any difference in Dachau, Aushcwicz, and the Gulag – where people were either murdered outright, or worked and starved to death, and Guantanamo Bay, where people suspected of terrorist activities are being detained, questioned, and kept from attaining their goals of killing Americans, I tremble at the thought that you are shaping the laws that govern our nation. I’ve heard a lot about your colleague, Barack Obama. Some are saying that he’s the smartest man in the Senate. I’m not sure about that. But I am absolutely positive that he is the smartest man from Illinois in the Senate.

Here's mine:

Dear Dick--If you truly believe our armed forces are Nazis, then why would you allow them to protect your liberties and rights? Leave and find some country not run by Naizs.

[RushCrush]

Or you could just send him your tagline ;)

[Darkwolf377]

Naizs = Nazis

That's what happens to your spelling when you drop to a democrat's intellectual level.

I'm sure it's fine but... paragraphs are your friends!

Dick,

Keep up the good work. The money should be deposited to your swiss account shortly.

Sincerely,

Do you have an email address or address? I'd like to mail something to him too. I would suggest you send a copy of your letter to the Chicago Tribune.

Have you passed this onto "Mr. Mental Backspace"?

There maybe some confusion on his part if there insn't anyone there to read it to him.

Wonderful letter.

[Iron Matron]

And Mine

Dear Dick,

You are a small-minded, mealy-mouthed traitor who should be confined to gitmo YOURSELF until this war is over.

Here's the site to email Turban Durbin:

I'll be damn if it isn't looking like Hillary is indeed a moderate in today's democrat party.

Now that's scary!

[Young Werther]

Senator Durbin:

You should be impeached and then prosecuted as a traitor. This should prove a lasting lesson for you when you are shipped off to Gitmo to serve your life sentence. Maybe you will then be able to differentiate between a diehard doofus and demwitted do nothing!!

[Ron in Acreage]

If our troops at Gitmo are Nazis, when will Durbin start the trials for war crimes? ala Nurenburg.

[sarasotarepublican]

The big problem with fools, like Dubin, is they are in a politically safe district. No matter what they say or do they will succeed in getting re-elected. Hopefully, enough good democrats will become sickened and begin voting Republican. One can only hope.

No amount of fundraising can help the GOP like Durbins anti american/military tirades. Remarks like his will get us that 60 seat senate in very short term.

Regarding the comments of Senator Dick Durbin

How can you possibly equate the holding of prisoners in Guantanamo Bay with those held in Nazi Germany during WWII? Are you that naive or can we again assume that
this is another example of your attempt to exploit a political issue for your own headline. Problem is your misguided comment appears today on the front page of Al Jezeera.

(please see: http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/796AA4AC-531C-4E6F-B855-7FBC52506824.htm)

[clintonh8r]

Don't be too sure. Most of their constituents are as crazy and America-hating as they are.

[Ron in Acreage]

True. But they're too stupid to vote. Most can't read directions on a ballot even when written for 4th graders to understand.
