In fact, it's perfect. Now whomever it was that did say it, must either hide to avoid the obvious payback from Dems and the public in-general, or stand tall an admit he's a proud Bagger. If he stays silent, the other Bagheads will know he's spineless ass who's afraid to stand by his words. If he outs himself, it's one more nail in these racist's coffin.

- It's win-win either way because this kind of soap-opera crap is the only ''news'' the MSM is capable and willing to ferret out. I'll give it a week at best before we know.....

Dick Durbin: GOP leader told Obama �I cannot even stand to look at you� [View all] cali Oct 2013 OP

Tolerating a viewpoint doesn't mean not thinking "What an asshole" hobbit709 Oct 2013 #98

Fair enough. But thinking someone's an asshole doesn't mean you can't stand to look at them Bucky Oct 2013 #100

No way. In fact Durbin should have called him out by name. This is unacceptable lostincalifornia Oct 2013 #34

I think cantor is more insidious and would not be so direct. I also think Durbin should have called lostincalifornia Oct 2013 #97

I don't. DeSwiss Oct 2013 #125

writing something and saying something are two different things. Javaman Oct 2013 #9

Could be. I don't trust Durbin, especially considering what he's said LuvNewcastle Oct 2013 #16

saying something about SS is one thing, stating that you said what he claims to have said Javaman Oct 2013 #17

This is a few days old and no one from the GOP has refuted it BeyondGeography Oct 2013 #19
