Senator Richard Durbin (D. Il), Democrat whip & 2nd in command of the Dems, spoke on the floor of the Senate recently & equated American interrogation techniques & treatment of prisoners/terrorists at Guantanamo Bay with Nazis, Pol Pot & Soviet gulags.
Durbin made the comparison after reading an FBI agent's report describing detainees at the Naval base in Guantanamo Bay as being chained to the floor & sometimes put in temperatures outside of norm.
"If I read this to you and did not tell you that it was an FBI agent describing what Americans had done to prisoners in their control, you would most certainly believe this must have been done by Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime - Pol Pot or others - that had no concern for human beings," Durbin said.
Despite outrage from the White House & Republican Senators (& nary a word of condemnation from fellow Democrats or the news media, although the Boston Herald said Durbin should resign & the Jewish Anti-Defamation League demanded that Durbin apologize), Durbin refused to apologize for his incredible statements.
"Turban" Durbin is either an idiot & thus does not warrant being in the Senate or he is so anal about the Bush Administration that he cares little about his reckless, malignant, malevolent comments & the damage it is doing to American interests throughout the world. If the latter, then he certainly does not warrant being in the Senate.
As a reminder to Sen. Durbin; Pol Pot slaughtered 2 million Cambodians in the most atrocious ways & tortured millions more; the Nazis slaughtered 6 million Jews in the most atrocious ways & caused the death of millions of non-Jews; Lenin & Stalin killed 20 million citizens in the most atrocious ways & used unspeakable tortures on millions more in their gulags, killing over 2 million.
For Durbin to compare this with Guantanamo shows him to have a such a callous disregard for the memory of the millions who were tortured & killed under those regimes that he is totally unfit for the title "Senator" before his name. For Durbin to liken American soldiers to Nazis & gulag guards, Durbin deserves a solid punch in the mouth from the soldiers he besmirched & a kick in the ass to boot.
The recent issue of Time magazine lists some of the "torture" techniques on the suspected 20th highjacker of 9/11, thought to have important intelligence information. It included long periods of solitary confinement, shaving facial hair off, standing for long periods of time, pouring water on his head, poking a finger into his chest, watching a puppet show in which the puppets berated him for his failed part in fighting the USA; & cruelest of all - playing Christina Aguilera music for not cooperating. How low can you go? Incinerating Jews is nothing compared to this. Using Jewish skin for lamp shades equals shaving off facial hair. Ukrainian children forced to eat bark off of trees for want of food equals Muslim-approved delicacies for detainees.
Durbin & like-minded Democrats who are whining & pissing & moaning about detainee "abuses" seem to care little that such people gladly fly planes into buildings, eagerly behead innocents & callously car-bomb women & children. But the Dems don't care about that. They have been trashing & dissing the war on terror, the Iraq War, President Bush & American honor since 9/11. Just last week Rep. Charles Rangel compared the Iraq war to the Holocaust. They will use any method & any reason to hysterically rant against Bush, not caring that they are hurting Americans, American credibility in the world & the soldiers in the field. They are pathetic & reprehensible representatives of the American people.
We at American Values detest such pondscum - they are borderline traitors, elected fifth-columnists, opportunists & hypocrites of the first order. They need to spend a week in a Cuban jail or a Turkish prison or a Chinese cell to discover what real abuse & torture is about.
Maybe they should just take a walk through the emptiness that was once the Twin Towers, kneel, then run their hands through the flesh & blood-enriched soil of 3,000 souls who died there because of the likes of terrorists now kept in American gulags & Nazi-styled concentration camps.
Say hi to Sen. Dick "Turban" Durbin
