The liberal's circle the wagons...

[mewzilla]

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.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

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

[Bossy Gillis]

Who is this FBI agent?

"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.

Excellent editorial. These people are dangerous.

During WWII we had Tokyo Rose. Now we have Al-Jazeera Dick.
I think that I will forward another e-mail to Turban Durbin just with that title.

[jch10]

I have emailed my senators and asked for censure. I also sent Durbin a letter expressing my displeasure with his aiding and abetting the enemies of the USA.
I hope all of you will do the same.

"...Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime -- Pol Pot or others -- that had no concern for human beings... This was the action of Americans..."

Such are the depths to which the Left has sunk.

The American political and cultural center has shifted dramatically to Middle America from the Leftist power centers. This is the reason.

My parents, grandparents, and great grandparents were all Democrats. My children are all Republicans.

[ken21]

we have freepers on this forum linking carole keeton strayhorn, the comptroller of texas, to hitler.

so, as much as i resent senator durbin's remarks,

this forum doesn't have higher principles.

[10mm]

Woodrow Wilson had Eugene Debs, a Presidential candidate, charged with sedition and thrown in prison for criticizing American involvement in World War I.

Republicans of today don't have the prunes to do what is necessary. I'm ashamed of them.
