An Open Letter to Illinois Senator Dick Durbin

Vance Hughes

[in hoc signo vinces]

Sad thing is...he really is the kind of person that would try to cover up something like Soylent Green.

They're all cowards (The Durbins of the world). Much easier to denounce those that are good then those that are bad. It takes courage to go after the animals that would slaughter innocent civilans...and would sooner turn your skull into an ashtray then make themselves a sandwich.

If this really was a police state...imagine what would happen to this fool. He needs to be confronted with that little truth.

Or you could just send him your tagline ;)

Or .......... Durbin: Eat Sh*t!

I'm working on a letter to Obama asking him to stand up against his senior senator. I'm also writing letters to Jerry Weller, who is my U.S. rep, and my state rep and state senator.

I've received lots of emails from various state GOP organizations, so I assume that they are on top of this. I won't bog down their system.

I worked on the Durkin campaign when he challenged Durbin. I would love to see Durbin go down for this!!!

[plain talk]

good letter. Senator Durbin is stupid and incompetent and simply not up to the job of being a U.S. Senator. He should be censured in the Senate and every Republican including the RINOs should get up there and express their outrage.

"I worked on the Durkin campaign when he challenged Durbin. I would love to see Durbin go down for this!!!"

This guy is a lightweight. I can't think of a worse Senator of either party in my lifetime as an Illinois Senator.

You can be sure if there is any issue on the front page, Durbin will get his face in the news by making some half @ss comment that is purely political and serves in no way to bring any solution.

Has he introduced any piece of legislation on his own? Has he done anything since being in office other than to brandish is partisan statements every few other month to make his left wing constituents think he's doing something?

I don't know why everyone is up in arms about his latest flap. Those of us in Illinois have been listening to this nonsense now for while now.

Senator Durbin is following a carefully orchestrated plan of attack against the war on terrorism because any US victory is seen, by an large, as a victory for Bush and Republicans. Here the Senator alleges that US held prisoners are maltreated. The next accusation will be that there has been an ongoing slaughter of women and children. A unfortunate situation in which our troops are involved no doubt will eventually occur and this will be the next step to show our troops as wanton "baby-killers", JUST LIKE VIETNAM. The leftist have already tried to paint the US as baby killers, but that didn't stick because first, there was no evidence, and because the idea had not had enough time to percolate in the US psyche about terrible things we might be doing in the war. Now that time has passed, the left has found some thing to sink their teeth into, prisoner abuse.

Remember? The stories about the "Tiger Cages" that we kept captured VC and Regulars where kept in? How 'inhumane" these cages were and that the US was a signatory of the Geneva Conventions? These were the stories that old ALGORE wrote about when he was "in-country" and doing his journalistic thing. How long after those stories surfaced did we start to get a regular dose of "our troops are drugged up maniacs" looking for a thrill by killing local livestock, and then later, the villagers?

This is the template of Vietnam! The press will then look to Durbin as some sort of wise sage because he was one of the leading voices speaking out against US cruelty.

It is up to US, the American public at large, to make DAMN SURE that political stooges like Durbin are NOT allowed to keep their jobs! WE have got to get this individual to step down because WE bring pressure from ALL sides. Who ever donates to him, should be notified that you intend to take YOUR business elsewhere. Economic pressure is the key. Durbin and those who support him, including the Unions, need to know that this fight is bigger than just the next election cycle, this fight is for the lives of our soldiers AND the citizens who may become the victims of future terrorist attacks.


Now, I feel slightly better.

durban should be jailed--there i said it

[roses of sharon]

He can never call himself a United States Senator again.

[lunarbicep]

I would just like to ask Senator Durbin 1 question.
given the exact background of circumstances as the US experienced, could he name a country that would be providing better treatment of detainees?

[SERKIT]

Dick Durbin has all the statesmanlike qualities of Eddy Haskell. He is a walking-talking sitcom.

Any statement on C-SPAN or sound bites on MSM needs to have an underlying laugh-track. It's great we live in a country that allows these idiots to get an audience.

Like TUHR-AY-ZAH Heinz during the 2004 campaign...PLEASE KEEP TALKING, KEEP THE MICROPHONES IN HIS FACE. We'll have him packing soon if the Illinois Republican Party can get its act together.

Wow. Your post #40 hit the nail right on the head.

Perhaps you will be interested in seeing my ruminations on basically the same phenominon (American Leftists defending the extreme "rightism" of exotic foreign cultures) at the following old thread:

Section 2 covers Sen. Turban lock stock and barrel.

Great post. I especially like the Star Trek analogy, as I have also found so much similarity (and hypocrisy) from the left. These people are truly unstable...and while I used to be amused, they are starting to scare me.

Senator Durbin,
Kiss my hairy, Italian ass.
Thanks for Nothing,

Here's my e-mail to my senators:

Senator,
As the father of a soldier I am furious with senator Durbin’s comment likening him to the nazis, Stalin’s and Pol Pot’s murderous savages. One hundred million people, innocent men, women and children were killed by these animals. Thousands of our soldiers died to stop these evils. A “so called” senator has the audacity (insanity) to compare the very ones that give him the protection and freedom to speak to the scum of the hearth.
I DEMAND that you stand up for our soldiers. Condemn this stupidity and request an apology to our troops on THE FLOOR OF THE SENATE. Full censure of Senator Durbin is the only appropriate response to this insult to our soldiers.
I will be expecting to see your appropriate response to this outrage.
