It's the Gulag, Dick

It’s official, Al Jazeera has deified the great Senator from Illinois. Yes, Dick Turbin...er, Durbin, is apparently now a hero of the radical Islamic movement.

How did all this start, you ask? Well, with this well thought out comment:

When you read some of the graphic descriptions of what has occurred here [at Guantanamo Bay]--I almost hesitate to put them in the [Congressional] Record, and yet they have to be added to this debate. Let me read to you what one FBI agent saw. And I quote from his report:

‘On a couple of occasions, I entered interview rooms to find a detainee chained hand and foot in a fetal position to the floor, with no chair, food or water. Most times they urinated or defecated on themselves, and had been left there for 18-24 hours or more. On one occasion, the air conditioning had been turned down so far and the temperature was so cold in the room, that the barefooted detainee was shaking with cold. . . . On another occasion, the [air conditioner] had been turned off, making the temperature in the unventilated room well over 100 degrees. The detainee was almost unconscious on the floor, with a pile of hair next to him. He had apparently been literally pulling his hair out throughout the night. On another occasion, not only was the temperature unbearably hot, but extremely loud rap music was being played in the room, and had been since the day before, with the detainee chained hand and foot in the fetal position on the tile floor.’

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. Sadly, that is not the case. This was the action of Americans in the treatment of their prisoners.

Again with the ‘gulag’ analogy, Libs? For a little history on the actual Gulag Archipelago, see here. In fact a little history might be just what you idiots who believe this makes any sense really need. Our troops compared to Nazis? Or Pol Pot? If ignorance is bliss, Mr. Durbin lives in eternal ecstacy.

If I had read the above and didn’t know it slipped between the reptilian lips of an American Senator, I might certainly believe this must have come from Bin Laden himself, the KGB, or some other anti-American regime—the U.N. or others–that had no concern for Americans and American troops throughout the world. Sadly, this is not the case. These words were those of a U.S. Senator.

I’ve said it before on this blog...Senator, you put the ‘Dick’ in Durbin.

So, did the great mind that poses as an American legislator realize he had spouted some of the most inciteful rhetoric this side of Al Zarqawi. No, of course not, he is a leftist loon. There is just this:

Sen. Dick Durbin refused to apologize Wednesday for comments he made on the Senate floor comparing the actions of American soldiers at Guantanamo Bay to Nazis, Soviet gulags and a "mad regime" like Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot's in Cambodia...

..."This administration should apologize to the American people for abandoning the Geneva Conventions and authorizing torture techniques that put our troops at risk and make Americans less secure," Durbin said in a statement Wednesday evening.

Hmmm, Mr. Turbin (did I misspell that again? Damn!) so Bush abandoned the Geneva Convention? Seems you’ve abandoned all conventional thought. Or any thought for that matter.

And I realize my mother told me not to pick on the retarded, but I have to make an exception here.

I am not calling for an apology from you, Dick. Because I understand this doesn’t quite rise to the level of a lynching. A lynching, by the way, for which you personally had absolutely nothing to do with. What I am requesting is your resignation, Dick. Immediately.

You, sir, are the lucky recipient of the pussification that has been blanketed upon our great country by your anti-American party. If you had spoken these words during WWI or WWII Dick, you would surely have been arrested for treason.

But I am not naive Dick, I know you will not resign. And I think I even know why it is you chose to spout your treasonous nonsense. You are not a novice politician. You were surely aware that your words would cause an uproar. So what were you thinking?
Here’s my take...Dick, you’ve seen that Mr. Dean has appealed to the far left with his hateful angry words. You see the meteoric rise of Obama. You see Ms. Rodham is moving to the center, you must know she will be the Democratic nominee on ‘08. Yet you still lust for power. Oh, what to do? Well, appeal to the loony Left, of course. Hate America, become their hero. Run for president in 2008. Drop out of the race. Let Ms. Rodham know you would make a great V.P....you ‘have the moonbats in your back pocket’. That is what you do. And I believe, that is what you did.

Good luck with that. If by ‘luck’ I mean not only losing the Senate race in ‘08, but Hillary laughing in your smug, pudgy face. Dick.

P.S. I will be happy to personally pay for your plane ticket out of Illinois...something you are obviously well acquainted with, Dick.
