where are the GOP's apologies?

[fryguy]

If they and the MSM are going to make such a stink about Durbin's comments, where does the line of GOPers issueing appologies begin?

Bush - lying to the country about war and raiding the economy for his friends

Cheney - for telling a sitting senator to go fuck himself; profiteering on the war in Iraq

Rumsfeld - for telling a solider that you fight with the army you've got not the army you want


I could keep going but I'm growing angrier and angrier......

1. The GOP depends on making ourtrageos statements..

It's how they energize their base - we need to learn that trick.

# Pat Robertson: Liberals are more dangerous than Al-Qaeda, Nazi Germany or the Civil War

# Michael Savage, who compared Senator John Edwards and philthrapist George Soros to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels.

# Pat Buchana: I'm comparing to a crime against humanity... When the German doctors committed those crimes in the 1930s, even before World War II, they were put on trial for crimes against humanity.

# Bill Frist : Democrats are attempting to assasinate Bush's nominees

# Joe Scarborough : Do hate George Bush so much that they are cheering for Terri's death only because the president of the United States and his brother are fighting for Terri's life?

But senior Republicans—including Chairman of the Republican National Committee Ken Mehlman—have not apologized, and have in fact defended, comparisons of Democrats to Nazis in the past.

Last June, then-Bush campaign manager Mehlman defended an ad that contained footage of Adolf Hitler interspersed with images of Democratic leaders Al Gore, Dick Gephart and John Kerry. The campaign defended the images, saying they were taken from a video on MoveOn.org.
...
White House confidante Grover Norquist, known for his blistering attacks on U.S. taxes, likened the estate tax to the “morality of the Holocaust” in October 2003.
...
A Republican senator invoked Nazism when criticizing stem cell research last year.

"We certainly have all seen the rejections of Nazi Germany's abuses of science,” Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) declared regarding his opposition to stem cell research last October. “As a society and a nation, there ought to be some limit on what we can allow or should allow."
...
Sen. James Inhofe said Oct. 11, 2004 that Kyoto "would deal a powerful blow on the whole humanity similar to the one humanity experienced when Nazism and communism flourished."
...
Sen. Tom Cole (R-OK) dragged out Hitler to hit Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry.

"Cole Claims a Vote Against Bush Is a Vote For Hitler," KTOK radio in Oklahoma blared last year.
...
Others, too, have likened Democratic policy to Nazism. Sen. Phil Gramm (R-TX) compared a Democratic tax plan to Nazi law in 2002.

"Now, forgive me, but that is right out of Nazi Germany,” Gramm said. “I don't understand ... why all of a sudden we are passing laws that sound as if they are right out of Nazi Germany."

3. The Repugs never apologize, the Democrats always do.

That's why we are viewed as weak--and I'm beginning to believe there is real truth to that view.

Durbin should never have apologized. He should have demanded the Bush apologize for putting our troops into the position where they thought they had to abuse prisoners.

Maybe someday the Democrats will find a spine. Howard Dean is about the only guy who shows any vertebrae these days.
