"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."
-- Illinois senator Dick Durbin from the United States Senate floor on June 14, 2005, while misrepresenting the treatment of terrorist prisoners of war. He later "apologized" to "anyone" who may have been offended by his treasonous statements about the military.
"The hottest ring in Hell is reserved for those in politics who attack their opponents' families."
-- The same Durbin on the "attacks," real and imaginary on Michelle Obama.
The "hottest ring in Hell" should be reserved for Adolf Hitler, Pol Pot, Osama bin Laden, "Papa Doc" Duvalier, Robert Mugabe as well as American politicians who compare American soldiers to Nazis and communist mass murderers.
Michelle Obama, Cindy McCain, Laura Bush, Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush and any other politician's relative or spouse is not exempt from criticism if they decide to venture into the realm of political speech.
When Mrs. Obama said she had never been proud of America until her husband started running for President of the United States, she opened the door to criticism. Mrs. Obama and her husband are on the national stage now. This is not some Chicago neighborhood where her husband is a "community organizer" and she and her family are members of a church that preaches anti-Semitism, anti-capitalism, anti-Americanism and Black supremacy.
This is, as they say, the Big League. The Obamas and their minions don't get to dictate the rules of the game. Being under the microscope means just that. Either stop whining about scrutiny or stop saying offensive things about America. They can't have it both ways.
