During my two-hour commute this morning (flipped-over semi blocking traffic lanes), I got the chance to listen to lots of Laura Ingraham's radio show. She played a longish soundbite from yesterday's Senate proceedings, featuring Senator Durbin (D-IL). The debate was on the energy bill, and Matt (or was it Lee?) watched three boring hours of it, until the last senator for the day, Sen. Durbin, took the floor. He spoke for a time on the energy bill then went on to make comments about the situation in Guantanamo Bay.
Here's what Laura's website has to say about Durbin's remarks:
"DURBIN COMPARES U.S. INTERROGATIONS TO POL POT AND NAZIS! Senator Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), speaking on the Senate floor, described our interrogation practices at Gitmo (keeping the 20th hijacker cold or hot, or playing of loud rap music) as akin to something that "happened by [sic] the Nazis, Soviets in their Gulags, or some madman regime like Pol Pot." Not only is this absurd and hideously inaccurate, but Durbin's comments makes our military's job more difficult, and encourages anti-Americanism around the world. Thanks, Dick. Tell him what you think by calling his Senate office at (202) 224-2152."
I echo Laura on this. Tell him what you think by calling his Senate office at (202) 224-2152.
When the Democrats go this far, they paint themselves into a rhetorical corner. If turning the air-conditioning to the detainees' cells up or down and playing rap music, while feeding them well, constitutes Nazi/Gulag/Pol Pot behavior, what's left for them to call it when we do something really mean?
The overall reaction from normal Americans (those whose feet aren't planted firmly in the Loony Left) seems to be, "What! Is that all we're doing to the detainees? They should get worse." Only the Far Left sees Pol Pot inside our soldiers at Guantanamo Bay.
Tell Durbin what you think by calling his Senate office at (202) 224-2152.
