For how strongly some of you guys feel that liberals say things comparable to Coulter's, nobody has yet provided a direct quote. Wonder Boy comes the closest to talking about Senator Durbin who did apologize for the below comment...

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 [air conditioner] 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.


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."



So we have one quote by a liberal that he later apologized for. Care to back up your claims a bit more?



You say this like it somehow disproves what I've said. But Durbin's remarks instead corroborate my point.

These were remarks for which he got such a backlash that he retracted them. They weren't misquoted and/or misrepresented. They were dead wrong.
You act like they were correct, and just misrepresented.

Durbin himself retracted them.

And when he's asked about these remarks, he now feigns as if he never made them.

Durbin is among the poster boys for the misguided tactics of the Democrat party, who use misrepresentative emotionally charged rhetoric to divide the country, turn the public against the war, shake our resolve, demoralize our military to make them think the public does not support them... when they know in their hearts that staying in Iraq, as long as it takes till the Iraqi military and government is strong enough, is the correct course of action.
Any other course condemns members of the Iraqi government and all other participants in Iraq's democracy to slaughter.

John Kerry, Russ Feingold, Barbara Boxer, Nancy Pelosi, John Murtha, Harry Reid and the rest of the Democrats posture in front of the TV cameras and say they oppose Bush's "stay the course" policy in Iraq, that we should leave Iraq ASAP, and publicly press for a withdrawal deadline. But when pressed in interviews, every one of them says that it would be a mistake to pull out prematurely, and any deadline should be extended if more time is needed. So what these assholes publicly advocate is meaningless, and serves no purpose but to divide public opinion, and undermine support for the war, while they score political points at Bush's expense, and make it that much harder to do what needs to be done militarily.

Once again, Al Qaida and the Iranians call these assholes "useful idiots".

    Liberals who bemoan discrimination, intolerance, restraint of Constitutional freedoms, and promotion of hatred toward various abberant minorities, have absolutely no problem with discriminating against, being intolerant of, restricting Constitutional freedoms of, and directing hate-filled scapegoat rhetoric against conservatives.

    EXACTLY what they accuse Republicans/conservatives of doing, is EXACTLY what liberals/Democrats do themselves, to those who oppose their beliefs.
