[Peace-discuss] Durbin's courage

[jencart]

He's the one who showed up, Carl.  It's always easier for some of us -- if the shoe fits, etc -- to criticize than to praise.  Give him credit for what he did, not what he failed to do perfectly.

Courage? Really? We haven't seen much.

I'll be waiting for his brave anti-war/anti-torture/anti- incarceration statements.  I hope we don't have to wait too long.  --CGE

>I agree w/ you Al.  Durbin is standing 'way too alone on 'way too many issues, and we should support it when he has the courage to speak up.  The apology started out well enuff -- Sorry IF I OFFENDED..... It was NOT MY INTENTION..... Yes, I wish he hadn't said it was a poor choice of words, but
instead, had reiterated that he was quoting the fibbies, AI, In'l Red Cross, etc.  It's just like AWOL Bush shooting down 60 minutes.  They don't spend million$ on PR for nothing.....

>And isn't it so frustrating that the Bushies can lie and lie and lie, and that's what sticks, rather than luke warm
apologies or excuses that nobody pays attention to.  And the Sect'y of Educat'n can call NEA members -- i e  most public school teachers -- "Terrorists" -- and nobody makes a stink over that????

>We should back Durbin so strongly that other Dems join him.
