“Babykiller” Redux
I started the day with the news that Sen. Dick Durbin thinks that US soldiers and our Government officials are the equivalent of the Nazis.
At first I thought, “Well there you go, the final piece of confirming evidence that the left in this country has lost. Once you start comparing what we are doing to that of the Nazis, it means they’ve clearly run out of arguments and are in full retreat”.
As the day wore on, I began to realize that this was about something more. Sen. Durbin didn’t just agree with Amnesty International, he raised the stakes significantly from what they had said.
Allow me to illustrate:
Remember the phrase “ Of course we support the troops”. You should, because every time someone from the left who didn’t support the troops opened their mouths they had to say that first or they would get a pitchfork run through their chest by the rest of us.
Now, Let’s say we take Dick Durbin at his word; that Guantanamo really is exactly like a Nazi concentration camp, a Gestapo headquarters or a soviet gulag.
So, “Dick”, if that is the case, can you really say that you “support the troops” even when they are – as you say – “Nazi like”?
And if you don’t support them, are you now calling for ‘war crimes trials’ against the troops that man the base at Guantanamo? Are you now calling for ‘war crimes trials’ for Secretary of Defense?
I mean I just want to be sure, because as you say "you support the troops" which seems contradictory with this last statement. You made a pretty harsh statement there “Dick”, I just want to see if you will back it up. You said in your pretty little speech that detainees who have the air conditioning left on too long or not at all is the exact moral equivalent of this:
