The hate-America party...

According to the Washington Post:

• Sen. Dick Durbin refused to apologize Wednesday for comments he made on the Senate floor comparing the actions of American soldiers at Guantanamo Bay to Nazis, Soviet gulags and a "mad regime" like Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot's in Cambodia.

"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." - Sen. Dick Durbin 06/15/2005

"I hate the Republicans and everything they stand for," former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean told Democrats gathered at a Manhattan hotel, in quotes picked up by the New York Daily News. - Newsmax

The important questions to ask at this point are:

What, exactly, do the Democrats "stand for"?

How do the Democrats get away with destroying our image around the world out of one side of their mouths while complaining that we aren't respected around the world out of the other?

UPDATE: Al Jazeera is off and running with the Durbin story. This is one more example of how the Democrats find themselves aligned with the enemies of America.
