The liberal's circle the wagons...

The biggest paper in Sen. Durbin's home state, the Chicago Tribune, blasted Illinois' "cover- age-hungry senior senator" for the comments and noted he had "displaced the ever-present microphone long enough to insert his foot in his mouth." Anyone know how long it took the paper to come to that no-brainer of a conclusion?

I think it's safe to say that Dick and George have been providing plenty of headlines for aljazeera.

Why is Al Jazeera still on the air ?
Why is Dick Durbin still in the senate ?

"Politics is one thing. But some of these statements are beneath politics, indeed beneath contempt."
Nothing will come of this. I'll be surprised if he even gets formally censured. Hope I'm wrong. However, National Security seems to be at the bottom of the "To-Do" list for nearly ALL of our elected representatives. It's votes and careers and re-election and money above all else.
That's the true outrage, IMHO. I don't feel truly represented. I don't necessarily feel "safe" these days with this kind of cr@p going on, and our borders wide open.
I feel as if we're being set-up for something bigger than 9/11.

The liberals think they know what they're doing. The democrats in Washington try to lose the war to gain power and the idiots who follow them think the islamokazis really do want to be friends. The Amazing thing is that the islamokazis will slaughter liberals first.

Dangerous, because the Al Jazeera Arab-language news station has been posting the remarks to stir up even more anti-American fervor in the Middle East. - Above
"This [Guantanamo] has become the greatest propaganda tool that exists for recruiting of terrorists around the world. And it is unnecessary to be in that position." - Joe Biden
With all due respect to both sides, you're both dead wrong. You know what the single greatest recruiting and propaganda device is for the muslim world? the koran.
For God's sake, open up that damn book and read it! It's like an endless chant to kill the infidel. That's what the common thread is, it's not that difficult. As long as we want to keep living in this fantasy world that islam is the religion of peace and that the koran is just like The Bible, you can keep looking directly at evil and seeing right past it. We do so at our peril.

A few strange comments from that poster.Yes indeed. One can do a search and see some very interesting comments. P.S. Like your tag line.

Why are congressional actions as important as stain this creep just put on his party? Consider the numbers Bubba was able to fabricate at the end of his term an consider what they they did for gore let alone the continual demise of the liberals. Maybe it's better the voters took control.

The difference is Dick's headlines are anti-american because, after all, Dick is a dick.

You're right that it's a "no-brainer" to conclude that Senator ("Turban") Durbin's comments were grossly unacceptable. But it takes something that obvious for the
Chicago Tribune both noticed how bad it was, and brought itself to condemn Durbin in print.
We will know that the end of the world is just around the corner when the NY Times notices and condemns a comment as stupid (but solidly leftist) as Durbin's. LOL.
