Oh, please there has to be some blowback from this. Are all his constituents stupid dicks, too?

Ace, could you draw horns, eyeglasses, and a little moustache on that photo? I can't stand his ugly dickface.

Let's hope the Illinois Republican Party can muster up someone better than Alan F'n Keyes to run against this stupid dick when he's up for re-election. Because, really, he just served up a big, juicy soundbite for his opponent's campaign commercials.

Let's also hope that Durbin somehow winds up with hot sauce in his dickhole sometime in the near future.

To the first commenter: Of course, they are: they elected him, didn't they?

Other than that, the Dem's are afraid GWB will do the worst, most cruel thing in the world, that is, he'll outlaw the use of remote controls to the boob tube, and all those hard-workin', hard-playin' loyalist Dems (read NEA, labor in general, educrats and welfare slaves) will have to put forth some effort to do more than bitch that they lost another election.

I wonder what would happen if Reid, Durbin et al would do if faced with a case of real torture? They fantasize about the economy, why not torture, too?

To his credit, Durbin refrained from drawing comparisons with Genghis Khan, Gaius Caligula, and MechaGodzilla.

The Genghis Kahn analogy was taken -- no fair stealing Kerry's lines.

Eery similarity, don't you think?

All moonbats come from the same nest.

Ghengis is fair game. Kerry was talking about his second cousin "Jhenjis".

Dick Durbin-Laden has dishonored his state, his country, and the senate (although I didn't think that was possible any more). He should resign or be run out of govt. TODAY. I hate a grandstanding, America-hating gasbag, and this clown is giving Ted K. a run for the blue ribbon. HE CALLED OUR TROOPS NAZIS! In a just world this assbite would be hanging from a lampost on Pennsylvania Ave. as an example to others of his kind, but we will have to settle for sending him back to his duties as bagman for the Ill. democrat machine. I wonder if he likes being moveon.orgs bitch?

Durbin, Dean, and Harry Reid. Unbelievable.

And of course, Reid blamed it on the "right wing" for making a big deal out of these remarks. Because, you know, the comments are totally OK to the Dems

How about "Dickhead Durbin/Ward Churchill in '08" there's a winning ticket! We should be thankful for these ass-clowns since they show the true face of the democrats, and they're just more dead weight for the dem candidate in 08.

I was going to make mention of Chaka Kahn but kids read this and there's no need to expose them to that level of cruelty.

Notice that the MSM are ignoring Durbin's statements. Wacko Democrats depended on their statements not seeing the light of day in the past. But with the power of the alternative media, they will be held accountable for what they say.

This has me livid. I plan to call my Senator (Norm Coleman) later today and ask him to speak out about this outrage. (I won't bother with Mark Dayton; that guy's as big a fruit-bat as Durbin.)

I am an amateur military historian, so I know quite a bit about the Nazi Death Camps, the Soviet Gulags, and the Marxist killing fields of Cambodia. It passes rational understanding how Durbin could compare Gitmo -- where there have been zero deaths caused by torture or mistreatment -- to these other abbatoirs where millions were sent to their deaths.

Durbin is a disgrace. If the people of Illinois have any sense at all, they will force this numbskull to resign.

Jesus. This really put me into a "Hulk Smash!!" mood.

I'm surprised nobody's brought up Charles Rangel on the subject of vile, historically ignorant slanders. Are the Dems having some sort of contest this month? Does the person who makes the nastiest comparison when talking about the war in Iraq get a toaster oven or something?

Personally, I'd go straight for the Satanic similes. Satan's even more evil than Mechagodzilla. Incidentally, planetmoron, what's your problem with Chaka Khan? I always thought she was sort of cute, in a Boogie Nights kind of way.

I hope that when he goes on one of those little "fact finding" junkets to Iraq, some Islamo-slob kidnaps his ass. It would be soooo poetic.

I don't know what you all are complaining about.
He has me almost as tingly as Howie 'Pillowtalk' Dean.

I mean, look at Durbin's adorable mug. Did you hear the smouldering, barely restrained passion in his voice when he read the names of history's worst oppressors?

The man is on f'n fire, and I, for one, would like to register my full support for his important message.

More, more! Give 'em Hell Dickie Boy! Truth to Power!
Its true. Democrats really are the sexy party.

Pillowtalk in the sense you hold a pillow over his face for how ever long it takes for him to stop talking? That type of pillowtalk?

Jeez! I know they've always been soft-headed whiners, but when did the democrats become such total pussies? Do they really believe that a nation can win a war with marshmallow wishes and sugarplum dreams?

Mind boggling.

Hey June, if you can control yourself when he calls you a bad, bad white christian who needs to be spanked, good for you.

The man makes me crazy.

Utron, if I read you a lyric sheet, and you did not know it had come from Chaka Khan, you would most certainly believe that it must have come from Goebbels, or Beelzebub or Freddy Krueger...

Planetmoron, I find that comparison highly offensive. Although it could have been worse; at least you didn't liken her to Night Ranger.

Incidentally, Tom Delay has called Durbin on his poisonous BS. He and Dennis Hastert dashed off quite a nice little note to Nancy Pelosi regarding the senator's remarks. Link to NRO's transcript of the letter here.

Planetmoron reminded me of the one funny thing about this....what other comparisons do they have left? They've overused Hitler, they've used up Stalin pretty much now too, so now Durbin brought up Pol Pot. What's left?

They won't use Satan (too religious). Serial killers? Comic book villains? Contagious diseases? Mythological beasts?

I believe this is a strategy on the Dem part. Seems to me they are gearing up several columns of attack - Gitmo, Downing Street Memo, and Iraq in general - in an attempt to take out the one leg they see Republicans have to stand on: Foreign policy and the war on terror.

I think it's a concerted effort, and I think you're going to see some SERIOUS political theater in the time leading up to the 2006 elections.

It's a risky strategy, but it could pay off huge. They're counting on the American populace to have short attention spans as well as its general ambivalence (ranging to hostility) to extended military conflicts and parties in power.

They also have a megaphone in the press, which likes nothing more than to be able to cover conflict - Clinton was fun, but dude, this is BUSH!~!

It's all leading to one thing, and that's an attempt at first gaining a majority in Congress and then, the coup de grace: impeaching George Bush.

It is, in other words, payback time. I hope the Republicans are ready.

You know it won't be Mao...

Steve, you're probably right. They even held a "mock impeachement" trial in the Capital yesterday. Keep fanatsizing there lefties.

A minor point to quibble over, but that article has a major point very, very wrong. The absolute minimum estimate for deaths in the Soviet gulag is 12.7 million. 2.7 wouldn't cover the Baltic-White Sea Canal.

And it leaves aside the 5 to 8 million victims of the Terror Famine. The Soviet regime was truly monstrous.

Comparing Gitmo to the gulag is not just a failure of perspective. It's literally insane. Never mind comparing it to the Nazis or Pol Pot.

So can anybody list the actual "tortures" the FBI agent described, or was it just monkeying with the air conditioning and turning up the Christina Aguwhatshername?

And I was reading the other day about when the germans invaded russia and the russians were forced to retreat. Instead of releasing the thousands of political prisoners they had in various prisons, the russians just set the prisons on fire with the prisoners inside.

Don't forget "close contact with a female." These Islamicists are so intimidated-shitless of females that the mere presence of one scares the crap out of them.

Makes you wonder what they'd do with 72 virgins? Curl up into the fetal position and cry, more than likely.

Makes you wonder what they'd do with 72 virgins?

Close their eyes and think about goats?

Makes you wonder what they'd do with 72 virgins?

Start a boycott?

I expressed my outrage to Durbin's office a couple of days ago. But it's time to move to the next level. We need to encourage people to write letters like this one to their senators calling for the Senate to formally censure Durbin and repudiate his statements.

I must say that Planetmoron consistently makes me laugh with his posts.

Rap music and sometimes the air conditioning doesn't work... apparently the sea air of Cuba is a bit humid for the Arabs used to the desert sands?

Sen. "The Dick" (D)urbin, the #2 Senate (D)emocrat, explained that in his remarks comparing the US Military to Nazis he was in fact NOT comparing the US Military to Nazis so he wasn't going to apologize for comparing the US Military to Nazis just because he was comparing the US Military to Nazis.

And he isn't sorry... Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah...

yep, PM is teh funnay

Everytime I click on the pic, my Rhapsody program starts running.

Is this significant? Should I worry?

Speaking as one of Senator Durbin's constituents, I completely agree with his remarks. I'm sure that if Paul Simon, his mentor, were alive, he would agree with them, as well.

The reason all you Republicans have your panties in such a twist is that, deep in your shriveled little hearts, you know he's right. You fascist clowns have disgraced this country. "I Love Gitmo." Creeps.

Oh, my goodness.

We're all "creeps".

I'm so ashamed of myself.
