Before the apology, there were many threads asking DU's support for Durbin [View All]

[Robbien]

Sadly only a dozen or so responded by sending letters of support. But in the meantime Durbin's phone, fax and email were flooded with hate mail from the religious crazies and dittoheads and freepers.

But now that Senator Durbin caved there are hundreds if not thousands of DUers posting about how they hate Durbin.

In my calls to Durbin's office they said they felt there was very little support out here for him. Why wouldn't he cave. He was almost alone in his battle.

If the DUers complaining now had shown their support previously, then today's story may have been a lot different.
