Comments on: GOP Moron of the Week - Rep. Robin Hayes http://dancody.org/archives/gop-moron-of-the-week-rep-robin-hayes.html Progressive commentary & Wisconsin politics by Daniel Cody of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Personally, I don't think anyone can go overboard with comments about what's going on in GB. Hell, Santorum thinks the filibuster was invented by Nazis.

Hayes wins the cuppie doll for being so out of touch that he's still repeating the 2003 talking points. Sorry, but Rep.

Well it wasn't just the bumper stickers, it's the message they were giving out that terrorists support Democrats, so yeah I get bent out of shape about that. Although apparently not as much as the right wing blogosphere does about Dick Durbin reading an FBI report about torture in Guantanamo. A refresher of the FBI memo: <blockquote>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.</blockquote> And what Durbin said in regards to that memo: <blockquote>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.</blockquote> What Durbin is saying is that the kind of torture going on in Cuba is more represenative of oppresive evil regimes than of the United States. I mean, I can understand flogging this horse to death because it's really the only thing out there right now for wingers to flog, but let it go. The real question that is being brought up here is that we're torturing people in Cuba <strong>right now.</strong> Yet the Republicans are focusing all their energy on attacking Sen. Durbin, because that's <strong>the real crime here</strong>! It's classic spin in order to divert attention away from the real story of torture by Americans, and I'm surprised you're buying into it so easy. Umm. Well it wasn’t just the bumper stickers, it’s the message they were giving out that terrorists support Democrats, so yeah I get bent out of shape about that.

They have done and will continute to do ridiculous things - Senator Durbin less than 1 week ago, compared Guantanamo Bay with the mass murderers who created the gulags, Pol Pot's killing fields and the Nazi's. Please. Someday you'll understand that Democratic Party == Republican Party. BTW - Bumper Stickers?!? You are bent out of shape by bumper stickers? I’ll start that up when Democratics start trying to do ridiculous things

You’re kidding yourself. They have done and will continute to do ridiculous things - Senator Durbin less than 1 week ago, compared Guantanamo Bay with the mass murderers who created the gulags, Pol Pot’s killing fields and the Nazi’s.

Please. Someday you’ll understand that
Democratic Party == Republican Party.

BTW - Bumper Stickers?!? You are bent out of shape by bumper stickers?

Or you could start up a weblog of your own and try it out, at which point I could antagonize you in your comments section ;) I’ll start that up when Democratics start trying to do ridiculous things like link 9/11 and Iraq, or making bumper stickers that try to portray Republicans as the party that Bin Laden supports.
