[The_Casual_Observer]

3. It's a desperate diversion tactic by rove.

They would love nothing better than to point the finger and crucify a dem at this point.

You can bet that the wh was working overtime to get the talking points out about Durbin yesterday.

[LightningFlash]

4. They won't get away with it....

Now biting the hand that feeds them, makes them look even worse and worse......The pressure continues to boiling plate!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

[mirandapriestly]

5. weird what comes up on that google search

[LightningFlash]

6. Google hired a neocon too. NT

26. My letter to Kyl

Dear Senator Kyl,
I am ashamed of your smearing of a fine American Senator, Dick Durbin. Your actions put you in support of torture and this terrible war that has already robbed our country of 300 billion dollars and approaching 2,000 brave Americans.

I hope that you will search your heart and come to the realization that you must not support torture. Let's get America back.
Concerned citizen from Minnesota,
Demon Fighter

[MuseRider]

9. Just sent an e mail

of support. Thanks for the contact information.

[cry baby]

10. wrote him in support!

[Guckert]

11. I'd hate for our Admin to stop acting like Nazi's instead of complaining

about being called Nazi's.

[glitch]

12. Doner. Told him not a constituent but he speaks for me and thanks. nt

[Proud_Lefty]

13. I sent one off

And I sent this to that asshole Kyl.

How dare you say that irresponsible language is causing the problems for our troops and situation in the world. The torture is causing the problems and your cover-up is making it worse. Your pointing fingers at the Democrats is completely pathetic.

Enough of this already. There have been major crimes in the form of torture going on in Gitmo, Afghan and Iraq and this administration refuses to investigate it. Your failure to address it is inexcusable. How dare you keep blaming the Democrats for pointing out the truth. If you can't deal with reality, get out of the senate!

When are you people going to get a conscience?

[Eric J in MN]

14. Already sent a supportive email to his office (nt)

nt

[EFerrari]

15. Sent email in support. TY! n/t

[in_cog_ni_to]

16. Thank You everyone!! Those assholes won't stop until he points out

the Rick Santorum Quote....then they'll STFU. I hope he speaks to that tomorrow, if not, Monday.

[Just Me]

17. Now what? What happened, in_cog_ni_to?

Way too much to keep up with right now (but, THAT is a VERY GOOD THING).

I thought the comparison had come and gone.

I have to say *giggle* that, it seems to me there are gettin' to be too many moving and active targets for the assholed to keep up. }(

[in_cog_ni_to]

19. Durbin compared the Gitmo interrogation techniques

to the techniques used by Nazis and the asshole RWers are going after him. They bombarded his office with phone calls and then the Senators hit the Senate floor to attack him! :grr:

[annabanana]

18. He speaks for all the people who have been

refused a voice in the national conversation. He deserves our thanks for what he said in this matter.

(we can excoriate him later for the credit card business)

[fooj]

20. I sent him an e-mail, as well! He held his own against those bastards!

:patriot:

[buff2]

21. Done!

I sent him a nice letter. God,why can't all Dems speak out??

[Warren DeMontague]

22. I wrote him and referred him to this May 17, 2004 LTTE to the NY Times:

http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9A0CE5DC143FF934A25756C0A9629C8B63

To the Editor:

It was with dismay and horror that I viewed the photo of a cowering Iraqi prisoner menaced by vicious military guard dogs at Abu Ghraib prison (front page, May 10).

As an Austrian Jew imprisoned in Dachau and Buchenwald in 1938 and 1939, I was an eyewitness to similar inhumane behavior by sadistic Nazi SS guards.

OTTO PERL

Maybe the people up in arms about Durbin's comments think Mr. Perl isn't entitled to his opinion, either.

[in_cog_ni_to]

23. Oh GAWD! Now it's Sessions turn???? BASTARD!!!!

These people are SICK!

It's OK to torture prisoners and we don't give a crap what happens to OUR soldiers when they're captured! THAT is what these dumb asses are saying! They are so friggin' IGNORANT...it's MIND-BOGGLING!!!!

[dave502d]

24. Done,n/t

[DemonFighterLives]

25. He was straightening out Big Eddy this afternoon.

Big Eddy seemed to straddle the fence. Before Durbin came on he answered a caller with a "well they are enemy combatants". Then after Durbin did not back away from his statements and sounded good, Big Eddy was on his side.

Quite the attack machine on his a*s now. I'll right Durbin and a get with it letter to Kyl.
Durbin Rocks! :yourock:

Spines are growing!

[gumby]

27. Please call your Democratic Senators

and urge them to stand together against this attack on Durbin.

I did that today. I 'reported' that the am right-wing talkers have been attacking Durbin, non-stop, for 2 days.

The offices I called were aware of the attack and really appreciated my call. Please urge your Dem. Senators to stand together and fight this 'vast-right-wing' attack.

[sagesnow]

28. Letter of support sent. n/t

[NashVegas]

29. This Is Not About Dick Durbin

This is about the RW blogosphere giving itself something to do while they try to figure out a game plan for dealing with DSM.

[I Have A Dream]

30. Done (sent an E-mail) & kicked.

:kick:

[Kurovski]

31. Sent my support.

Remember this: "Never again".

[ohtransplant]

32. e-mail sent

and will call tomorrow.

Where's Dean on this issue? Not stirring the pot. I really don't know.

[orleans]

33. where is a copy of his speech???

i can't find it

help...please...

[Robbien]

35. What he said was

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.

When you read some of the graphic descriptions of what has occurred here -- I almost hesitate to put them in the 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 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.

36. Here's a copy of the speech. Link.

[FreedomAngel82]

34. Happy to support him

I just sent a basic thank you Email and told him he wasn't alone in his battle for the truth. :)

[tyedyeto]

37. What happened?

Just got home from work...been gone for almost 12 hours with no current event access.

Kyl is a scumbag. I feel his senate seat in AZ could go blue in '06. He's not nearly as well liked here as is McCain.

[in_cog_ni_to]

39. Durbin gave a Senate floor speech where he compared the Gitmo

interrogation techniques to the interrogation techniques of the Nazis and the RWers were out in full force today attacking him. Hannity called for his IMPEACHMENT!!!@#$#@! Can you believe the NERVE of that man?? :grr: All the freeper bombarded his office with phone calls to tell him to apologize and the the repuke Senators hit the floor of the Senate to attack him! I posted his speech a couple of posts up if you want to read it.

Durbin DID NOT apologize because he didn't do what the repukes were accusing him of doing. They said he compared our SOLDIERS to Nazis which is a boldface LIE. He did not say that! :grr:

[LeahD]

38. He was on the Ed Schultz show today,

and after hearing him speak with such sincerity, I wish he was MY Senator. I sent him a supportive E-mail, thanking him for speaking out.
