Hey Dick Durban! Hey Charlie Rangle!

Where’s the outrage for the treatment of our soldiers?  Most of these young adults are from reserves units.  They are serving their country in a selfless way.  Do they deserve this type of abuse?

Speaking of which… did anyone hear Charlie Rangle appologize like Dick Durban, sort of, did?  You know he made the same basic comments, right?

This is the same perspective problem the media always exhibits.  From where they’re sitting, America is inherently wrong in all its foreign policy decisions.  Thus, those fighting against us in Iraq are the equivalent of “freedom fighters,” comparable to our own revolutionary forefathers.

Amazing, but true.

The difference is everyone has always known Rangle is a nutjob.  He makes absurd statements all the time, no one takes him seriously.  And he’s not a ranking member in the house, like Durbin is in the Senate.

So the answer is no, I hadn’t heard he said anything of the sort...or sort of apoligized.

Look at the headline for the article.  Defy is an odd word to use.  According to the definition of the word it implies courage and bravery.

To me, there’s nothing “brave” or “courageous” about detained terror criminals flinging semen and feces at our troops and threatening to kill their families.

Maybe no one in the MSM, or the politicians, try to point these acts out because that’s what everyone “EXPECTS” the detainees to do?  I guess I expect this kind of stuff from them, though without confirmation from the press, all I can do is speculate about my expectations of their behavior.
