Senator Durbin, Al-Qaeda Supporter
Does that seem a bit over the top? Well, it isn't. We're at war and Senator Durbin is giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
The blogosphere continues to pursue his comments and refusal to apologize. The Democrats continue to operate in their little bubble of denial.
I sent a note to each of the senators for South Carolina, asking what they think about his comments. Haven't heard back yet, but I'll let you know what they say, even if it's the standard political comment-without-actually-saying-anything answer.
More reactions:
Hugh Hewitt. Just keep scrolling. "Which way do you think the editorial writers at the bigs will go? My guess is a measured criticism for careless rhetoric, mixed with a Santorum reference, a call for more civility, a couple of nods to the bravery of the troops sent on a terribly difficult mission, and a demand to focus on the real issues, perhaps with a blast at right wing media. I can't see any of the bigs coming to the conclusion that the vast, vast majority of Americans have come to, which is that Durbin is a pathetic and repulsive political hack who should exit immediately after a lengthy and detailed apology."
Captain's Quarters. "Durbin doesn't appear to be deranged; he's just following a shameful tradition by radical Democrats of sapping American will to fight and win a war."
bRight and Early. "Not only is there no comparison, but there isn’t even a degree of relation that could be used to argue that his (Durbin’s) comments were just an exageration to make a point."
Iowa Voice. "The solution, of course, is to close down Gitmo, issue some form of apology to these poor, innocent detainees, and release them so they can go back to their families. It's not like they'd go back home and join a terrorist group, right? Maybe we could give them a bunch of money, while we're at it. I'm sure they wouldn't be any more of a threat to us in the future than they were when we caught them...you know, back when they were just wandering the battlefield looking for souveneirs."
