God Damnit! Now I'm Pissed! (good diary from dailykos)

<http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/6/23/1853/05285>

I live in the sticks. If you were in a place as far from an urban area as you could get, you'd still have a few more miles to go to get to where I live. Consequently, everyone here is a Republican. For fuck's sake, Alan Keyes got around 40% of the vote in my county. That's how fucked up things are around here. Anyway, when the newspaper arrives every day, I like to turn to the opinion page and see what the rubes are complaining about. We usually get a large political cartoon, a lettor or two to the editor, and an editorial from a syndicated columnist. We get some humdingers around here, too. We get Morton Kondrake, Cokie Roberts, sometimes Bill O'Reilly, and on occasion they throw us Dems a bone and give us Gene Lyons (gotta' look fair and balanced you know). Well, today we got William Rusher. And like all other good conservative puke funnels (props to Atrios for that term) he was spouting the same bullshit about Senator Durbin's comments from last week.

(snip)

Look, Durbin did not jeopardize our troops by calling this behavior what it is. Our troops were jeopardized by the act itself. Our troops are jeopardized because the current leadership thinks that it is above the law and can do whatever the fuck it wants. If it were one of our soldiers stripped naked, chained to the floor, and forced to lie in shit for hours on end while being detained incommunicado without any charges filed against him in a country like say Iran; we'd be PISSED! We would be amassing our troops at the border to wipe the country off the face of the earth. Fuck Iraq, we got a soldier forced to lie in shit!

It's abhorrant that we would ever tolerate behavior such as this let alone be the perpetrators of it. I know it, you know, fucking William Rusher knows it, and goddamned John McCain knows it even though he said that Durbin should apologize. But nobody is even discussing that. Everyone is all up in arms because Durbin called a spade a spade. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it's a fucking duck you ignorant shitheads!

I agree! Hallelujiah! (ok, I'm not sure how to spell that)
