7. Right-wingers apparently have no reading comprehension whatseover

What a bunch of fucking assholes.

[gratuitous]

10. Can't imagine why they're so upset with Durbin

Durbin read an FBI report on what they found going on at Guantanamo. He drew a conclusion about what it sounded like to him. Reading over the same material, it's a conclusion that I find easily within the realm of reasonableness. If the Freepers would like to draw a different conclusion, they're welcome to do so.

In fact, I'd rather like to hear what conclusion the Freepers draw from this description from the FBI 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 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."

11. How do we know the calls are by neocons? Could they be calls

from supporters? I just emailed him and tried to call, but the line was busy.

[librechik]

12. Nazis are harassing our Senator?

of course they are--they can't stand being found out for who they are!

[benburch]

17. Nazis HATE being called Nazis.

And this bunch don't even have cool uniforms!

[DS1]

13. Are you assuming it's neocons are you able to feel their presence

while on hold on the same phone system as them?

On that note, Monica Crowley's head was about to explode today, I've never laughed at such an indignant look before.

[benburch]

15. I feel a great disturbance in The Force.

The echo chamber has been all Durbin all Day.

[DS1]

16. If he's a required lightning rod to get this out, then so be it

He has my support

[understandinglife]

14. Done - sent him an email thanking him for speaking the truth.

Peace.

18. I just reached his Chicago office! Call them!

I said I had heard there was a republican movement to get Durbin to apologize for what he said about Gitmo. She said, "Yeeeees there is" I asked her if she had gotten very many calls and she said YEEEEEES she had. I asked her if they were in support of him and she most were NOT. I told her to add MY NAME to the list of supporters and to tell him NOT to apologized! We both started laughing and she said "OK (giggle, giggle), I will!"

Call his Chicago office! 1-312-353-4952 they need to hear from you too.

Now, off to try the DC office again. It's been busy!

[Straight Shooter]

19. I sent him an e-mail via his web form

Dear Senator Durbin:

Thank you for your strong comments on the situation at "Gitmo." Hard times call for hard words, and the soul of America is going through very hard times indeed.

I applaud your efforts to make Americans aware of the very real dangers we provoke when we give tacit approval to torturing those in our custody and control. Rationalization, moral relativism, and "the ends justify the means" are not sound policies.

Sincerely,
(Straight Shooter)

Not very eloquent, but my time is limited. I just wanted to let him know I support him and his straightforward, no-nonsense approach to this travesty.

20. The woman in Durbin's office just told me I was the bright spot in a

terrible day.

She said the calls have been UGLY and she really appreciated hearing my support.

SO CALL HER AND TELL HER YOU'RE WITH SENATOR DURBIN!

[libnnc]

21. done did it

[mondo joe]

22. Please call if ONLY for the poor people taking the freeper calls all day

They need to hear from you that this is worth it.

[benburch]

23. I finally got through to them late in the day, and they seemed relieved...

to hear a friendly voice.

[LightningFlash]

24. Keep on flooding his office!!!!

Senator Durbin knows just what to do here!!!!

:patriot: :patriot:

[benburch]

25. Amen!

Everybody on DU needs to call Senator Durbin!
