The Senator's resignation from the Senate is the only acceptable outcome. Shame and an apology is not near enough. How many will die because of his irresponsibility?
They must be smart enough to figure that out, but do they have the courage to do it? (Never mind...rehetorical question.)
Actually, don't think the absence of the President or Vice-President coming out on Dick Durbin's comments isn't calculated. You know the old saying, "Give them enough rope..."? I wouldn't doubt the Administration let's this go for a while and see who on the Democrat side denounces Durbin. Then let the feeding begin.
Besides, you know Mayor Daley's son just graduated from Army boot camp. He's verrrry proud of his son. Want to bet Durbin gets an earful from the Mayor? I tell you, this might get very interesting before it's over.
I wonder how Durbin's constituents would feel had they personally been attacked by terrorists. What would dicky boy say then?
Some punk was on this site earlier about claiming Bush was guilty of war crimes...
To fools like Durbin...everyone is guilty of war crimes, except those that actually commit war crimes...such claims make him feel better at night, and he doesnt have to worry about retaliation from the real bad guys, which would go to any length to kill him.
So, as Dean, Hillary, and their ilk know, it is much easier on the ole health to make a false accusation against the good guys...gets them press...and band wagon fans. Durbin needs to be shamed.
I'm trying to gauge how big of a faupax it was today. Has it been covered on any of the networks? I know Rush featured the posting of Durbin's comments in Al Jazeera. How big has the outcry been?

There is a third possibility; he represents elements whose motives are at odds with the security of the United States.

Someone needs to ask ole "Dick"
If this truly was a Nazi regime...would he be allowed to make such comments? Why is he not being hung now?
ohhhh...cuz dick, this a nazi regime doesnt run this country. I am so sick of people like this guy.
Senator Durbin is one of the reasons the Demosocialist party is in decline.
You are being silly. Everyone knows that soylent green is just a nutritious snack cookie made from ocean plankton. Dick Durban said so.
Sen. "Turban" Durbin

Even Olympia Snowe and Susie Collins wouldn't publicly say anything like this Dubbin did.
If Durbin thinks we're Nazi's, he should resign quickly so that the War Crimes tribunal will go easy on him, what with his position in the Senate and all.
While Dick Durbin's rhetoric is just the latest outrage in a series of outrageous comments coming from elected Democrat politicians, these damaging outburts aren't new. From Patty Murray's defense of OBL and his philanthropic/humanitarian adventures...to Jim McDerott's visit to Iraq, in an effort to present Saddam as an honest broker, the Democrats have chosen sides with the devil. One has to wonder just what their objective is, here.
How else can you explain liberals who are defending, what is an essence, the most conservative ideology on the planet? Everything Islam stands for...whether its extreme nationalism and cultural purity, oppression of women and children or its dictatorial theocracy were God is the State; everything this ideology espouses is generally diametrically opposed to by liberals. Yet, for some reason, these liberals (and elected politicians) have not only defended this culture, they've attacked those who have acted like the real progressives in an attempt to advance some sort of reformation or enlightenment.
This has got to be one of the greatest hypocrisies on the planet. The very social injustices that liberals claim to care so much about in this country are ignored by them in these oppressive regimes. The very religious conservatism they hate in this country is excused as part of their cultural identity in the Mid-East. At the same time that they promote Multiculturalism as this great Utopian ideal, they redicule anyone (especially the USA) for daring to bring "Islam" into the 21st Century...and introduce them to new cultures.
As we welcome waves of immigrants from other lands...as other countries are even invited to invest in our nation, liberals see such a reciprocation in the Mid-East as a violation of their ethnic purity. Hell, I recently read a journalist's article who called the terrorists, "heroic" for wanting to protect their cultural identity. Excuse me! If America were to ever embrace these same attitudes, it would be these same liberals accusing us of racism and genocide...just as they are doing to us now for simply wanting to defend our borders.
These people can't even smell their own hypocrisy they are so ignorant: They essentially despise this country for attempting to spread progressive values to the Mid-East...yet they don't see anything wrong with that policy as they attempt to do the exact same thing in this country. Just think about this for a minute: Liberals are defending, and in some cases, making excuses for the very hatred and violence emminating from the Mid-East; a hatred that is rooted in one of the most conservative ideologies in the world; a conservative ideology that is far more extreme than any conservatism in this country. Yet, liberals defend this Muslim ideology as they excoriate anyone who might dare to change or enlighten this culture. For this, they say, we are at fault and we deserve what we get.
On the other hand, liberals in this country are doing just that to our own culture, as they wage a counter-culture war against average Americans. They not only expct us to sit still as they tear down the very foundations of this country, they become violent when we refuse to accept it. The hypocrisy is amazing. They are telling us that we are guilty of the very sins that they have been perpetrating in this country...against its citizens, for decades. Hmm...I wonder if they would come to the defense of American conservatives (in the same way they've done Muslims) if we decided to put up a fight or strike back in defense of our culture. Why is it that Muslims are entitled to defend their corrupt culture and ideology (even with violence) while those in America who even use the Democratic process are described in the worst possible terms. No such language ever passes the lips of a liberal...as they go as far as even defending it and excusing the violence.
Will they justify my rage (at them and their attempts at reformation) some day in the future? The irony in all this, is that as liberals attack this country...and excuse the actions of radical Islam, it is liberalism and their ideals that are the greatest threat to Islam. For all the reasons and excuses they give for why America was attacked, they conveniently ignore that it is their ideology and "progressive" ideals that is the greatest threat to Muslim society. The fact that moderate conservatives in this country are looked at as the greater threat by liberals than the extreme conservativism of Islam, only indicates how dangerous liberals really are. In fact, their irrational hatred and spite for this country only helps feed the irrational hatred of our enemies...and justifies whatever attacks they may seek to inflict upon us in the future. And these people wonder why they hate us...and why I despise them?
