Durbin is NOT APOLOGIZING!!!! He is ripping them up, call to thank him |
|
Oh man, it great, putting the FBI Document in context, talking about the torture and how it was approved by this adminstration.
He is not going to take back calling them NAZIs!! WOO HOO!

He's gonna get a lot of angry calls from freepers, they make sure to let their asshole voices be known, call Durbin to counter that shit, let him know that you like what he is saying, you approve and that you support him.
Capital Hill Switch Board 202 224 3121, just ask for Durbin!
Yay Dems with balls! I fucking love it!!!

18. The poor woman I spoke with was SO harassed by Freepers, when |
|
I started to speak she was very flat and reserved. After I told her why I was calling there was this sort of break in her voice and she told me what a relief the call was.

WE THE PEOPLE .... WILL NEVER FORGET "... we sent our young people into harm's way without leveling with the American people." - Congresswoman Pelosi before Congress, 16 June 2005 Peace. www.missionnotaccomplished.us - Impeachment of Bush and Cheney; indictment and prosecution of all members of the Bush regime who participated in the deception, should be campaign promises of any candidate worthy of our vote in the 2006 Congressional elections.

Wish I could see that! The Dems are getting some spine at last and learning that you must NEVER apologize to Neocons, or acknowledge their rhetoric and lies!!
No apologies from Dean!! And now none from Durbin! :applause:
Each time they try this nonsense they should be attacked!! That will shut them up. Take the opportunity to restate the truth each and every time they twist someone's words!! Durbin is a patriot! :patriot:

said that Durbin didn't show good judgment with what he said! I couldn't help but think "you married Liz Taylor, let's not go there John". Tacky I know, but I couldn't help myself!
Warner needs to get over himself. That document was sent out as a FOIA request. The time to have investigated it has past. That should have been done before it got to the point of a FOIA document. If they wanted to argue the facts of the document, they had a full year to do so. No one did and not one person has stepped forward to say that the circumstances detailed in that document are false. Not. One.
Get over yourself Warner. You ain't all that and a bag of chips anymore ... Just as Liz.

19. I tried calling his DC office all morning and couldn't get through |
|
so I called his Chicago office and told the kid that answered the phone how proud I was of Senator Durbin and no matter how much the Repukes whined about what he said, he had absolutely nothing to apologize for. I also said please tell the Senator that he's doing a magnificient job not only for the people of Illinois, but for the American people as a whole.
Dick Durbin is a real man and a real Democrat. I'm so proud he represents me and my family in the Senate.

28. I'm referring to a scene from Farenheit 9-11 during the run up |
|
to our illegal invasion of Iraq. She was doing a puff piece, which is what she does all the time anyway, about the Navy Seals and she squealed at the end of the clip "Navy Seals Rock!!!!"
She's a total bimbo IMHO. I can't wait until next week when she airs her exclusive interview with the "Runaway Bride". I mean Katie, that is so last month!!!!

Thank you Senator for speaking the truth about GITMO
As a daughter of a Holocaust Survivor and a trained historian, I know this camp is not unlike Bergen Belsen.
I thank you for publicly saying what many of us have been saying for months... some of us for years.
These people are Nazis...
I've got your back... and hell, I am putting money to the side for your campaign, next time you run...
thank you Sir

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 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.Durbin rocks...
